yesterday,
market
quotations
were
not

quotably
changed
in
the absence
of busi-

About
the on-

one or two
operators,

willingto take fractionally less if a buyer

could
be secured.
On
the whole
the mar-
;
ket at best
is a dragging
affair
with
s

|
gars arriving either
being placed
in store
l
or on
lighters.
In
some
quarters
there
was said
to
be increased
inquiry for
su-
gars for export.
While
the
market
ap-
pears
to be rather
glutted with
sugar
at
the present
time
there
are
not
a few
in
the trade who look forward for
a
change
‘
in
conditions later
in the Autumn partic-
ularly if Europe should
take
any
amount
’
of Cuban
raws together with local
refined
sugars.
No changes
were reported
in
re-
finers list prices
but it was said
that own-

Late

it

that

in
connectionn
with

with a view
to meet

demand
for
full
and
immediate
protection
of
those
‘whose lives are
imperilled
by

l.ondon,
Sept.
3rd.—Mr.
A.
J.
Bal-
four yesterday
replied
to the despatch
of
M.
Tchitherin,
the
Russian
Beisheviki
Minister,
sent
on August
26th.
Mr.
Bal-
four
expressed
gratification
that
the
Soviet Govt.
renounces
its demands
for a
workers
military,
but
declares
that
M.
Tehitcherin
is mistaken
in supposing
that
the British Govt. recognized
that
a reduc-
tion of the Polish
army
to fifty thousand
men
would be
just peace
terms.
What
the
British Govt. isaid,
Mr.
Balfour
de
clared,
was that Great Britain would
not
consider
it sufficient ground
forjactive in-
tervention.
Mr. Balfour characterized
M.
Tchitcherin’s representations
concerning
the
civic
militia
as
being
2
conces-
sion
to
.Poland
as
‘‘evidently
meant
88
a
Jest,
and
so
far
nefther
re-
quires
nor
deserves
a reply’’.
He
con-
sidered,
however,
that
it
1s
a
jest
requiring
explaining
from
the
Soviet
Govt,
aad points
out that both the Brit-
ish Parliament
and
the people
were
de-
ceived
by the
Soviet
withholding
their
act that
the militia
was
to be
taken flom
a particular
class
chosen
by
a
victorious
enemy.
The
British Govt’s. objection
was
not based
on the choice of workmen.
Its
objections
would be equally strong if the
militia
were
composed
of miilionaires.
In either
case
it would be
an armed
force
imposed
on the
Poles
at
the bidding
of a
foreign
power,
therefore
inconsistent
with national
independence
and
the
per-
manent
maintenance
of civil order.
Mr.
balfour
said
he did not
doubt
M. Tehit
cherin’s statement
that there arein equal-
ities of wealth in Great
Britain which
no
longer
exists
in
Russia,
but the
refer
ences
M.
Tchitcherin
draws
from
this
are quite
irrelevant
to
the
present
pur
pose.
Mr. Baifour
conciuded
by saying
that
he
never
for a moment
questioned
the efficacy
of Soviet
methods
for
mak-
ing pocr
men richer
than fthey
were but
failure
is
to
be
feared.
Mr.
Balfour's
reply
is
in
answer
to
M. Tehitcherin’s
statement
called
forth
by
the
Italio-
British ultimatum
respecting
changes
in
the peace
terms
offered
to Poland
by the
Soviet Govt.
Constantinople
Sept.
3rd.—Turkey
will
send
a
minister
to
the Vatican,
it
was
announced
yesterday.
This
is
the
first
time
Islam
officially has
afiiiiated
with Christendom,
the
step
being
taken
on the
main
initiative
of gratitude
for
the
Pope’s
financial
and
other
aid
to
Turkish
war prisoners
during
the
war.
Before
the
Minister
is
sent
0o

will
be
asked,
if
he will be
received
