the spread between the cost of raw
and the sale Of refined cane sugar
should be limited to S1.30 per hundred
pounds. The pre-war differential had
averaged about SO cents and increased
costs were found to have been impos-
ed by the war in increased cost Of re-
fning,. losses, cost Of bags, labor, insur.
ance, interest and other things, rather
more than cover the difference. After
prolonged negotiations the refiners
] were placed under agreement estab-
fishing these limits on October 1, and
anything over this amount to be agreed
extortionate under the law.
an the course Of these investiga-
tons It was found by canvass Of the
Cuban producers that their sugar had,
| during the first nine months of the
past year, sold for an average Of about
$4.24 per hundred I. o. b. Cuba, to
which duty and freight added to the
refiners' cost amount to about $3.50
per hundred. The average sale price
of graduated by various refineries, ac-
cording to our investigation, was about
$3.50 per hundred. or differential of
$1.s4.
"In reducing the differentiai to $1.30
there was a saving to the public Of 81
cents per hundred. Had such diff.
ferential been In use from the 1st OF
January, 1917, the public would have
saved in the first nine months OF the
