On April lst, when the duty
ON raw sugars will be taken off
the price Of the refined. article
to consumers will be dropped
abouttwo cents per pound, and
the people will enjoy the cheap
est sugar ever known in this
country. Granulated sugar,

from six to eightcents perpound,
will be sold at the grocery stores
fos 70 II and five cents per pound.
This drop in the price OF sugar
will not affect the refiners at all;
on the contrary, it will benefit
them, because there will be an
increased demand for the article.
The price charged, for sugar,
two cents per pound, which is
now paid to the government as
duty on the raw material has
all been paid by the consumer
indirectly. The refineries will,
therefore, make a wider margin
than at present. In consequence
Of the drop which must neces-

retail dealers are cleaning out
their stocks and buying only
small quantities, in order that
they may get on the right side

7. Williams, senior member Of
the wholesale firm j, Il. Will

most level headed of business
men, who stated that the reduc-
tion in the price of sugar could
not be more than two cents pei
pound, that being the amount
of duty which will be taken of
under the new law. He added,
that while the consumer would
at first receive the benefit of the
reduced prices, the manufac'
turers would, in the end, reaI
more than corresponding adyan
