New York, Dec. 11.-Henry e.
Costello and George A. Zarbriskie, of
the Sugar Equalization Board. in
commenting to-day upon the fact
that the sugar shortage in the city
is still serious, said that of the $4,000
tons of sugar allotted to the Allan
tic Coast states from Maine to Vir-
ginia, New York is to get some 20,-
100000 pounds. of which 100000
has been delivered. About half of
this had been intended for the manu-
facturers and the other half for other
consumers, giving roughly about one
pound of sugar per capita in the city.
That the sugar shortage has not
been entirely relieved by this amount
of sugar was due, they said, to the
fact that some of the wholesalers
have held part of their supply for
sale next week. This sugar was priced
at IL cents for wholesale trade and
should reach the consumer at IA
cents.
