After April the price of sugar will be
reduced about two cents a pound. Gran
ulated sugar, which now sells for seven
cents pound, will be sold at five cents,
and a corresponding reduction will be made
in all the lower grades of sugar. The gen.
eral opinion of the merchants who sell
sugar is, that the sugar supply of family
fhn ralt,n
ton in it's cost will result in material saw
ing to great many families. Sugar is ne
cessary article of family consumption and
people will buy it at any cost. The reduc-
tion in the price of sugar is the effect Of The
Mckinley tariff, AMI wholesale dealers are
receiving large orders to be filled after
April l, when the reduction in price takes
effect.
