Emperor William of Germany 'U WHOLESALER EXPLAINS ADVANCE IN PRICES PREDICTS MORE OF IT Throwing some light upon the ad vance In the prices of foodstuffs since trip nnenlne of the European war is a letter received by one of the lead ing grocery houses from a wholesale house. According to the letter, the soaring of sugar is justified by the fact that England, cut off from Ger many, is drawing upon Cuba for her hupplies. Further advances in the price are predicted. Speaking of food products In gen eral, the wholesalers write that all imported products are affected by the war inasmuch as all shipping from foreign ports are done in Eng J '' ' .

England consumes approximately 15.000 tons per month, which ordinarily is furnished j by Germany. This source of supply; ! elm absolutely cut Off. she natural-, . . nk.n,sh hpr stores from Cuba. Actual sugars in England are Relilnir today at $12 er cwt. and 'English importers are purchasing ev- try available pound of Cuban sugar ns'fast as it Is being offered, and have even gone so far as to purchase re- fined sugar from the New York re- fineries to the extent of 1.800.000 to 2.000 000 bags. The effect of this ex- j traordinary and unexpected demand for sugar and the comparatively1 small supplies still available in Cuba) have already doubled the cost o( raws and refiners are unable to buy raw sugar.- duty paid New York, for , less than $ 52 today. On this basis j cur mined price snouia ne anove c Portland, and that sugar has not reached the level is due to the fact that refiners are still working on raws bought at the lower prices but It seems Inevitable as soon as present supplies ore exhausted that Sugar1 must advance still more, not due to any cause traceable to either the Job ber or the refiner, "but due to the fact that sugars are urgently needed for export, and supplies are entirely too small to take care of this extra buy ing pressure.

The starter's' pistol sent the star automobile pi-! lots of the coutnry away today In the first of the annual Elgin races, the classic events In automobile circles in the Middle West The course lay over nearly nine miles of country roads through the greatest dairying country of the world and fringed by great crowds of spectators who swarmed into Elgin last night and early today, from Chicago and sur-: rounding cities. Around 36 laps the, drivers will rush their cars for a to tal distance of 303.21 miles. Today's event for the Chicago Au tomobile Club trophy and prizes worth about 33500 sent a field of not ed drivers away, but the Elgin Na-: tional trophy race tomorrow will at-1 tract the larger crowd though the' prize money offered Is about the' , event in the Middle West racing and It has held the larger share of in- i tereat from year to year. j Gil Anderson, who won last year's Elgin National, was an entrant In to-j day's race. He was one of the pop-1 ular favorites. Anderson arrived here two weeks in advance of the race, established the Stutz camp and has engaged in daily workouts. Wis hart and Pullen, the Mercedes stars, were other early arrivals this year. Further improvements to the course this year has reduced the dan ger of accidents to a minimum. Course officials found last year that by eliminating the dangerous 'hair pin" turn they cot down the possi- bllities of serious accidents and they made other similar alterations this year. The course was entirely resur- laced; tne turns were covered witn crushed stone and rolled and so banked that only a slight lessening of Peed will be necessary in taking the most dangerous curves, Drivers in this years races have more prize money to look forward to than In previous years. Cash prizes of $100 to $200 heve been offered for the fastest lap In eac hday's race and ul nceasory companies have piled offers for fastest time at certain distances. SHIPS TAKE HOME REGISTRY.
