SUGAR PRICES ARE
ADVANCING AGAIN
Prediction Is Made That
Retail Price Will Reach
$40 Per Hundred.

The SUEaF ulaEACl Was A-AN~A~~- -F-
ward again this mOrning. the price ad-
vancing from % 10 80 cents per hun
drsd. Beet sugar is selling from $3.50
to sT.75 per hundred and cane ranges
from S7.TS TO IS on an average while
a few retailers are asking as high as
$50. News is brought from nearby
towns that sugar is selling at the -
mark. Quite a number OF retailers
bought sugar early in the season ut
low figure and still have a fair sup
ply on hand and while they are ad-
vancing with the market price they
are holding prices down somewhat or
it is likely the price would have been
forced to SO here. A Wholesaler re
ported this morning that the san
Francisco company from which he had
IS cars ordered had urged that he
draw the amount as slowly as possible
which. he declared would indicate
shortage. He predicted sugar would
reach the SO mark
There is considerable activity in the
livestock market with prices ruling
steady. The fruit movement is not So
strong and it is feared the high price
of sugar viii cause a big falling off in
the sale. Vegetables are plentiful and
movement is slow as farmers are hold
ing their crops for a higher market.
Following are the prevailing prices;
