SOME LOCAL RETAILERS
INCREASE SUGAR PRICE
Complaint Ia Made Tint Figures Are
Above Official 11-Cent
Quotation.

Further Investigation yesterday us
to the cause Of the high prices which
revealed that the retailers have had
TO pay higher price than that which
they formerly paid. District Attorney
Hiram VI. Smith stated that the re-
tailers profits were not unduly large.
Complaints of Federal agents that
several retail merchants were charging
II cents Il pound for sugar. which
they called excessive. led TO the inves-
tiEation. District Attorney Smith
stated that in spite of the announce
ment OF the food administration that
IL cents pound provided a sufficient
rate. there were several factors which
entered into the situation and gave
rise to the price of IL cents. Among
these. he said. were the length of
storage and the conditions under which
the sugar was stored.
