Food Administration
Will Reduce Sugar Price
.Y MilIiO

An international commission of 5
men in connection with the food ad
ministration is working to lower the
price of sugar to consumers by mil
lions of dollars.
Under the new plan refiners will
obtain their supplies of raw sugar
under direction of the commission
and have agreed to work on stipu-
lated margin between the cost of raw
sugar and the selling price of re-
fined. The resultant elimination OF
competitive buying is expected to
lower the price to consumers, and to
prevent rapid fluctuations of prices
such as have been experienced since
1914.
The refiner sells his products to
the wholesale grocery jobber thro-
ugh broker. In turn the jobber sell
Is to the retail trade. The margin
of profit in each transaction will be
limited to an amount representing
a reasonable charge for the services
performed. 1t will be necessary foi
the consuming public to see thai
they obtain their sugar at proper
price from the retail trade, and The
food administration will assist by
keeping the public posted as to wha
the retailer should charge.
