There are less than twenty sugar
refining concerns in the United
States, and all but three of them are
supposed to be included in the new
sugar trust. The purpose of this
combination is to raise the price of
refined sugar and lower the cost to
the refiners of raw sugar. Before
the establishment of this trust there
was something like competition in
the raw sugar market. Even now,
however, this trust has succeeded in
lowering the price of raw sugar and
it has at the same time been able to
put up the price of refined sugar.
