That Easter bunnies, candy eggs

prediction of confectioners and
candy manufacturers.
The abolition of the restrictions
which prevailed on sugar during the
war has lifted the oppression from
the candy market. and for the first
time in almost two. years conditions
are nearly normal. Last year con-
fectioners were liuTfted to fifty per
cent. of their sugar consumption of
the previous year. The restrictions
were not lifted on sugar and sweets
soon enough to relieve the market
