SUGAR SHORT ON
MARKET and NO
Relief IN SIGHT

That Salem will be without sugar
entirely in about two weeks, or just
what time the supply now on hand in
local dealers warehouses, was the ap-
parent outcome of the shortage Friday
According to word received by G. f.
Scbuneman, 266 .,orth 14th street, To-
cal representative of Wadham & Kerr
Of Portland strikes in the factories Of
the Western Sugar Refining Co., and
on the water front in San Francisco, is
responsible for the lack of sugar.
The bulletin received by Mr.. Schune-
man states that all the 'fraws'' now
ON the coast for the manufacture of
sugar are tied up on boats at the piers
in San Francisco, where sevedores re-
fuse to handle it, Until the strike is
ended no more sugar will be manufac
tured for coast use, the bulletin said.
Although it would seem that this sit
uati0n would cause a rise in prices
here, 1T is said that dealers, while linn
iting their sales, will not make any
raise in price.
