SUGAR FAMINE OVER:
PRICES SHOULD DROP
Huge Shipment From Cuba Is
Expected to Bring Relief
to Consumer

Early relief from the long-prsvailing
scarcity of refined sugar and sharp
drop In price are forecast following the
arrival Of two vessels from Cuba con-
tanning more than 1900, 900 pounds of
the raw product. The ships are now
unloading their eargoes at the plants of
the Franklin Sugar Refining Company
and the Mctahan Sugar Refining COM
pany,
Refined sugar Is retailing at from
nine and half to ten cents "A pound
and the brown product at nine 10 nine
and half cents. Leading dealers pre-
dicted that these prices soon would be
reduced at least a penny a pound, and
IL the supply holds out. further reduce
tions soon would follow. They consid-
cred the stringency virtually over.
Earl u. Babst. president Of ths Amer
ican Sugar Refining Company and one of
the three American members OF the in
ternationai sugar committee, said with
the coming OF the Cuban and Porto
Rican crop. now being harvested, he be-
iieved the sugar needs Of the United
States and her allies soon would be
amply supplied. He predicted sugar
prices willsbe so forced down under the
plans Of the Federal food administration
as TO become the cheapest article OF food
on the American xble.
