JOYt THE PRICE OF
 SUGAR IS TO GO DOWN

NEW YORK. Nov. i4-~-Whilc it may not exercise any marked effect on the high cost of living. the price of one of the least of the ncccssarics of life bids fair to show a very mark ed decrease during the coming year. This commodity is sugar. the price of which has been above what has come to be regarded as its normal level for nearly year and half.
 Experts who keep in touch with sugar production in all parts of the world point to the decline in whole sale prices that has already set in as merely forerunner of greater reductions which they believe arc to follow.
 TWO causes arc given as condut ing to lower rates for sugar. One of these Is the exceptionally heavy out put of the great sugar pr oducing countries of Europe and the Tropics. The other Is the rapid growth of the beet sugar industry in the United States which promises to produce a billion and half pounds of sugar this season. or an increase of more than 2s percent over the best pre- vious record. While this is only about one fifth of the entire con sumption of the country, its effect upon prices is so well recognized that wholesalers regularly count up- on a reduction in prices every season as soon as the beet sugar made in American factories comes upon the market.
 lt was this factor last season that broke the corner m sugar and brought, prices down from the dig zying wholesale level of seven and a half cents pound to the point at which it has remained since. In fact one of the annoying things about the domestic production of sugar in the United States from the point of view of the re6ners and spectators is that it prevents the advancement of prices through combination Curi- ously enough the one article of gen cral use that shows marked de- cline in cost happens also to be almost the only one that has grown cheaper within the past decade.

PRESCOTT GIRL SAYS SHE WAS DESERTED
