CHRISTIANSTED. V. L U s . A.. TUESDAY 10TH MAY 1921, from rumours in the Polish newspapers that the Allies alreadv had arrived at a decision with regard to the portions of the territory to be allocated to Ger- mnany and Polatd. No' such decision had been reached, he said. The ocutbreak was widespread. and had developed in- to something like a rebellion in differ- ent parts ol Silesia and the insurgents had come into collision with Allied fore- es. He said his latest informaton was that the Allied commission in Silesia had issued a statement that it would take every step open to it to restore o~der. Then he trusted the Allied Govts. would proceed to the demarkation, of boundaries, which was so necessary In the interests of peace ip Silesia. He wished to "emphasize that no nperat.ons arising from the peace treaty had been more fairly conducted than the plebiscite in Silesia. Every kind >f consid~ration nad been shown both to the Germans and o the Poles, Mr Harmsworth said he trusted order soon would be restored and a final settlement of the dispute reachea, wichout delay. London, May 4th. -The Has ings elec- tion brought about by the resignation of Mr. iaurence Lyon., who was adjudg- ed bankrupt, resulted as follows.

New York, May 3rd. —Although there was no business done in raw sugar dur ing«the morniag, the market appeared to have a steadier undertone, which may have been due to an indication of a bet- ter demand for vefined as weil as the possibilities suggested by the marine workers strike as affecting the move- ment of sugar. It is estimated that there are at the present in port unsold at least 150,000 bags largely Porto Rico’s, the presumable effeci of the strike upon which would be the enhance of their mar ket value by cutting «ff further ship~° ments from primary poinfs. However the latter consideration did not appear to be impressive to the buyers. On the other hand, no attempt was made by holders to press business, and at noon the situation apoeared to be stand-off. Porto Rieo’s might have been bought at 4.89¢. cif and might have sold at 4.77 THE ST. CROIX AVIS | is printed and putlished daily (Sundays and Holidays excepted) by G.
