SUGAR SHORTAGE TO
LAST SEVERAL WEEKS

New York. Nov. 26.-The sugar
famine predicted last September il
here. 1t will continue with increas-
ing severity until well toward the end
of January. BY the practice Of rigid
conservation, sufficient sugar will be
available for a half-pound per week
ration per person for the next two or
three weeks.
The day of cheap sugar is drawing
near TO an end and the day Of plen-
tiful sugar is already passed. Sugar
will continue to be scarce all through
next year, and the price will advance
several cents a pound There is no
restoration Of normal sugar condl-
tons ia sight in the United States be-
fore 1921.
This does not mean, however, thu
the present famine conditions will
continue throughout next year. BY
the middle Of next February il should
be possible to purchase sugar compar-
atively freely. but indications are
that il will be necessary TO exercise
some control Of the distribution and
sale Of sugar throughout the year II
repetition Of this years acute
shortage is to be avoided.
The total consumption Of sugar in
the United States this year up 10
Nov. l, was 3,52s.00O long tons,
against 1855. 900 for the same per
iod in 1918. an increase OF $4,000
long tons.
The exports for October were ST.
766 long tons, against 2y,35I long
tons the same month In 1918 The
reflneries reported shipments 10 the
Royal Commission Of bi.as5 long
tons last month. This sugar, how
ever, was contracted for by the
Royal Commission early this year,
and was not drawn from the Amer
lean reserves
