SUGAR PRICE TO BE HIGHER
Increase In Cost, However, Will Not
Exceed Cent Pound, Says
Fool Administration.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Prospects for
slightly higher price for sugar to
the consumer in the near future were
forecast by the food administration
today in announcing that the sugar
equalization board, in order to mini
mize inequalities between prices of
the old and new crops, will purchase
all sugar at the old price and resell
to the holders at the new price.
The increase to consumers, it has
been said, will not amount to more
than a cent.
Neither the exact date on which the
new price will become effective nor
what the new price will be has been
determined.
The price difficulty which this ac-
tion is designed to meet resulted from
the overlapping of Cuban sugar and
domestic sugar in the market. The
food administration has agreed with
domestic production that an increase
of price was justified on the new crop.

experts here today. Several promi-
nent officers on duty here have open
ly favored a strenuous winter cam
paign. They are of the school who
complained at the absence of open
warfare, and who have cheered loudly
since this system came into play.
Now they believe that their hopes
are coming true, for the French mill

hammering on and on. giving the
boche as little opportunity as possible
to recuperate his ranks.
