Eighteen Francs. i fits, but the element of uncertainty lies ir the fact that so large a portion of the crop must still be marteted. Including bor.ds of preferred and common stocks Cuba ecane sugar is toaay selling in the market at the equavelent of about $lO per bag of output based on a crop of 4,000,000 bags prior to the war 'sls a bag was regarded as a fair capitalization from sugar property. New York, Junc 13th. - The raw sugar market was weak itoday and prices declin- ed to the basis of 4.00 for ecentrifugals, the lowest ever recorded in over five years under continued pressure of Porto Ricos. There were sales of 24,500 bags of Porto Ricos afloat and for prompt ship- ment. Raw sugar futures were easier owing to the decline in the spot market and prices at midday were one to six points net lower. There were no chang- es in refined prices, which are listed at 6.00 for fine granulated. The undertone was unsettled and business light. Refined futures were nominal, with no transac- tions up to midday. London, June 14th.- The Govt. |in- ‘tends to replace the British adminisira- tion in Mesopotamia with an Arab as- sembly and an Arab ruler during tle coming Summer, Mr. Winston Churechill announced in the House ot Commons this afternoon. The ruler will be eiected by the people. Mr Churchill made the announcement in introducing in the House a supplementarv estimate of 27,000,000 pounds for Gcvernment ex- penditures in the middle east. Emir Feisal, son of the King of Hedjaz has inquired if his candidacy would be ae- ceptable, the Secretary said, and Great Britain had replied that no obstacle would be piaced in his way and that if he were elected i e would have Great Britain’s support. Consequently Emir Feisal had lalready left Mececa for Meso- potamia, Mr. Churchill argued that the policy of working with the Sheriffi- an family of the Hedjaz was advan- tageous and would not be detriment- al to Frapee. I would be fatal to the interests of both if France and England failed to cooperate, he declared. 1f we desire to maintain our position and discharge our responsi- bility in the middle east, Great Britain and France must pursuc a policy of ap- peasement and friendship towards the Arabs and Turks and thereby securea peaceful and lasting settlement with Turkey. Press reports last month fore- cast action much of the sort accounted today by the Colonial Secretary. It was unofficially declared that the Govt, placed the formation of a series of Arab states of gwhich Mesopotamia was to be the chief and it was reported that ¢ .e first King under the plan would be Prince Feisal, while his brother Abdullah would be ruler of the Transordaniam country. Mr. Churchill returned several weeks ago from a visit to Egypt and Pales- tine.
