New sugar is not on the market ex-
cept in very small quantities and at very
large prices and when you get it, it isn't
always new, after all. With the unfavora-
BILE weather, great depth of snow, the like
lihood that when the snow goesit will go
in hurry, and the injury done to the
maple trees by worms last summer, we
can hardly expect a long or especially
productive sugar season.
