Hallway share's were neglected, and the more representative Industrials scarcely varied at all and attention was absorbed In Comparatively few special moves, mast of them upward.

Consolidated Qa drew across SC, reflecting again the relief from the pressure of sales against the subscription rights to the new stock, this subscription privilege expiring at the end of next week.

li Now that lh4 Colorado suijar beat grower have agreed with representatives of tho Great Western SuRar Company on their contracts for 1924. the tannin and preparation of additional acreage Is progressing rapidly in the West. Tho new contract gunrantees the grower a minimum ofof 5.50 a ton for his beets and sliding scale baaed on the price at which the I factories disiose of the sugar manufac- tured from them will give him from 0 cenfS to J1.60 a ton more from the net price received by the company for the sugar than in 1923. Nebraska growers are expected to agree to a like contract and thfc settlement undoubtedly will have a stimulating effect all through the intermountain region. The stimulation toward planting additional acteage has been Intensified by the successful invasion of the Eastern markets by beet sugar manufacturers this year, although this move tended to keep prices for refined sugar down to reasonable limits rather than to boost them.

The American government haa submitted to Great Britain "certain counter suggestion In connection with the drafting of the 12-mlle limtt treaty between th two countries. It waa announced at the State Department Saturday. This anouncement was made In order to explain the lengthy delay that ha been encountered in the consummation of the agreement. The nature of the change propoeed In the two drafts of the bill was not disclosed, but administration officials appeared confident that existing difference would soon be Ironed out and the terms of the pact agreed upon.

The changes proposed however, are understood not to alter the basic points of the treaty which gave to the United States the right -to search and selxure up to 12 miles In return for permission of British liners to come Into American ports with their liquor under seal. The original draft of the treaty was prepared at the State Department and submitted to the British foreign office some months ago.
