FIGHT BRINGS DOWN PRICE
OF SUGAR IN LEXINGTON

Lexington, Aug. 22.--The agitation
for the reduction Of the cost of living
has conferred on sugar here with the
result that consumers who have been
paying IA and Is cents for the staple
now buy it for IL cents. The reduc-
ton has come about within the past
week, as result of an investigation
requested by District Attorney w. G..
Hammer. A telegram to w. o. Bur-
gin, who was county food administra-
tor during the war, requested him to
obtain figures showing the prices,
wholesale and retail, prevailing on
the local market for the past month.
1t was found according to Mr.. Burgin,
that from July % for period Of
about two weeks sugar wholesaled
for IL IL cents and some as high
as 10 and retailed for IA and 10 CENTS
a pound. Now the price is back to
$3.50 a hundred wholesale, with 10
or SO cents additional for package
goods, and the retailers are being re-
bated on sugar sold on higher basis.
Sugar is now selling for IL cents.
