Tacoma Sugar continues It's upward
limb. Dealers predict another ad-
ance Of is cents on all varieties, and
~ they are unable TO determine when
ie advance will end. The soaring OF
cal sugar is in line with the New
ork market.
Local jobbers attribute the stiff ad-
ances to foreign demands. England
,awing heavily upon the United
tates. The British Isles formerly re-
ed greatly upon Germany for supplies
beet sugar and with the war In
rogress has been forced to turn to
,me other source.
The Canadian demand for United
tates butter will be curtailed by ship
Ients Of this commodity from New
