MAILS NEW YORK. What is said to be the largest and most elaborately equipped mechanical plant for the handling of mail in the world is now located at the Grand Central Ter n.inal here. The structure occupies .in entire city block. It was con structed by the railroad company and kesed by the pot office department. Although the building is at present only three stories high.

The new . building has lOu.HOu square feet of floor space find its need was due to the rapid Kiowth of the parcel post business Pi w handled from this city. The ex tirlor of the building la of white stone and cream colored brick. In side it is a vast network of belts, chains, conveyors and lifts, all of v hlch are operated by electricity, con ti oiled by the pressing of a button. These devices will eliminate the old svstem of loading and unloading mail curs by trucks. The plant Is so situ ated, being directly over the railroad tracks, that eight mall cars can be unloaded or loaded at once, the whole iteration being controlled by the Pressing of a button. Many of the d vices Installed to load and unload the cars are new and are having their first trial. Post office officials apd railroad men predict that the new plant will revolutionize the meth c-d of handling enormous quantities of mail at big railroad centers. J. W.

One of the war'g remarkable' ef fects upon American trade was shown here when, for the first time In his tory, sugar was purchased for export from the United States to Switzerland. Although Switzerland is a next door neighbor of Germany, the greatest beet sugar country In the world, the war has caused an embargo to be laid on the exportation of sugar from Germany and Austria-Hungary, and consequently the Alpine republic finds it necessary to send three thousand miles across the Atlantic to secure the national supply of sweetening. Not enly Switzerland but Great Britain France, Italy and Greece have been purchasers of sugar in the New York market. In the first nine months of the war exports amounted to nearly 500,000,000 pounds valued at over 523,000.000. Naturally the heavy ex- ; ort demand for sugars which usu ally comes to the American market tas kept the prices comparatively high, and the American farmers who grow sugar, either In beets or cane, tire likely to have a prosperous sea son. In fact persons familiar with the sugar trade agree that the war has saved this Industry from extinc tion for the time being. Prior to the outbreak of hostilities and following the legislation adopted by congress for the free admission of foreign grown sugar, many sugar mills and factories closed down and tens of thousands of farmers abandoned the Wanting of beets and cane. With the better price conditions brought about by the war, the Atnerican crop prob rtly will be larger than ever before, and it will be possibe to continue su gar growing in this country, at least until the European conflict ends. endfeton Ay to Co.
