SUGAR AVERAGES
I z CENTS RETAIL
Officials Look for 15-Cent
sweetening in Thirty to
Sixty Days,

Sugar ranging in price from IS cents
per pound to 96 cents is to be had in
Memphis. The prices range according
to quality and date Of purchase. Sew
eral carloads Of old crop sugar were
purchased by local wholesalers at prices
considerably below that fixed for new
crop sugar. Lists of retailers who pur-
chased this old crop sugar will be fur
nished to the district attorney and n
close check will be kept upon its sale
and distribution.
The variance in price Of sugar
throughout the city is due to n COM
blnation Of circumstances. Some few
wholesalers had contracts for delivery
OF sugar during the months Of October
and November and when the sugar
shortage came along refiners and brok-
ers were unable to fill these contracts
with the arrival at gulf ports Of sew
cral boauoads of sugar from Cuba and
Central American countries shipments
were made on the old contracts and at
prices below that fixed by the govern
ment on new crop Louisiana sugar. The
amount OF this sugar 50 far received
IN Memphis has not been sufficient to
affect the market as a whole.
Prior to Nov. s, when the govern
ment price went into effect, some local
w 81 NbiAAAoANth W. ttN hibi
sugar at prices above that fixed by the
government. When delivery was made
on these new contracts the price was
naturally higher than it would have
been otherwise.
Some Of this sugar is now being sold
at % cents and in a few isolated in
stances at prices as high as 26 cents
per pound, The bulk Of sugar being
disposed OF in Memphis at this time
is priced at q and 22 cents per pound.
Just what effect the resumption of
food regulation under the direction Of
the encouragement will have locally
could not be determined Saturday but
it is expected that the purchase of large
orders of sugar from the Cuban market
would nave a tendency to relieve the
situation when delivery is made. The
proposedNcutting of the sugar supply to
soft drink and candy manufacturers
would also tend to bring further relief.
Numerous contracts for sugar for flu
ture delivery at prices even less than
the Is cents fixed by the government
are expected and there are many local
dealers and officials who confidently be-
lieve that Memphis will be able to Sc
days at prices not above 15 cents per
pound.
Meanwhile all sugar being received
in Memphis is being carefully checked
by representatives of the department of
justice and all possible efforts are being
made to keep the retail prices at a rea-
sonable figure above what the sugar
actually cost the dealer.
