SUGAR SITUATION CRITICAL Local Wholesalers Are Unable te
 Meet Demands of Retailers.

The sugar situation in Norwich is becoming critical as there is a short age of this commodity in the city. Wholesale grocers reported Sunday night that they are unable to meet the demands of their customers as their supply of sugar has given out and they are unable to get any more, as their orders which they have had in have not yet been acknowledged Every effort has been made by the wholesalers to get sugar for the past three weeks but they have only been able to secure lots of twenty-five bar rels each,
 A statement issued Saturday by the refiners dealing. with the situation reads in part:
 An outburst of public excitement over the imminence of a sugar fam inc has made it's appearance in many parts of the country and has been ac- centuated by reports of the exhaus- ton of supplies, the charging of high prices and the holding back of stocks by producers and ref1ners. As has been repeatedly explained in state ments by the food administration and bys the sugar. trade press, there is a

scarcity of sugar at the present time but this scarcity is temporary. It is due to the practical exhaustion Of supplies of Cuban raw sugar and the depletion of stocks in refiners and dealers hands. The new crop of cane sugar in Cuba and Porto Rico will begin about Dec. 1 and sugar should be plentiful shortly after the first of the year. There is no hoarding of su- far on the part of the producers, re- liners or wholesalers. Dealers are justified in limiting the amount of sugar sold to each customer. It is only through restriction of conSump- tion by the public that the existing supply can be made to bridge the period from now until the new crop is available. This is a time when consumers will best serve their own interests by keeping their heads, by purchasing sugar as sparingly as they can.
 The local sugar trade is making ev- cry effort to facilitate the distribution of such sugar as is available and to hold down consumption to as low a level as possible.
