THr sugar trust has advanced the price
of sugar again, although already making
A profit that will net the refining inter
est not less than $50, COOS 900 annually, 50
per cent. of which will be divided by the
trust. This advance on the heels OF the
threatened prosecution may be accepted
AS an evidence that the trust expects to
he overthrow in court ana purposes to
make the last possible ceut at the expense
of the consumers before an adverse lu
dicial decision can be reached. OF course
the trust does not admit this to be the
cause of the present advance. An al
legged scarcity OF raw sugar Is made the
pretext But no one outside OF the trust
ia aware of any scarcity. Raw sugar
known IA "fair refining was worth As
cents per pound in October, when the
trust first went into operation. Last
Saturday it was quoted st the same tx
ure. Centrifugal sugar is now about one
fourth of q cent higher than year ago.
Ii will be seen therefore that the price OF
the two grades of raw sugar chiefly used
in refining has advanced so little as to
furnish no indications OF scarcity. But
what OF refined sugar. The price of cut
loaf and crushed, October I, 1887, was
6S TO g., now tits cents. Granulated,
then worth cents, is nov sold at rs,
and standard coffee 4, then worth 5'a, Is
now selling for 6ss. These quotations
show that while the trust pays no more
for one kind of raw sugar than It did Q
year ago and only one fourth Of q cent
more for the other il realizes from the
consumers = cents more for cut loaf
ana crushed, cents more for granu
lated and ! cent more for standard A
than al tnst time, an increase varying
from l715 10 % per cent. The new ad.
vance is certainly not called for because
Of scarce or high priced raw sugar.
