The
Java
sugar
buyers
are
credited
'
by an
authority
with
having
displayed
exceedingly
fine
business
ability during
the time sugar
prices
were soaring
They
were
not
lured
on
by
the
will o’-the
wisp of 50 cent
sugar,
but
when
Ameri-
can
prices
were
going
forward
they
contracted
with
buyers
at

cemits

and
saw
tb
it that early
shipments
were
made.
Ihe
contracts
|
were
made
on banker’s
credits
and
even
|
after the slump
they
consulted
the
ban-
|
kers again
that
the
new
crop
would
be
financed
smoothly.
It
is
believed
by

that
the market
will be ratber

not
as

as it
was in the
