OCent.Sugar Coming
 Local Dealers Hit

for which they have made contracts. Most of the sugar wholesalers are los ing from SC to 7c on every pound of sugar they sell. As a result many of them stand to lose thousa nds of dol lars.
 Most of the Bridgeport jobbers have large quantities of sugar, on which they will be forced to lose about 5c a pound," was the statement made by the Comstock & Willett Co.,, of this city .HThe sugar that the dealers have on supply cost them from 22.5 cents to p eents.'
 The sugar situation is very unset tied at present." said J. Brown, of R. T. Writings. Conditions, however, look as if prices will continue to get cheaper There is plenty of sugar and it will force the prices down.
 The whole question seems to narrow down to the working of the law of supply and demand If supply has the advantage, prices pass from the con tro1 of the dealers, and drop to rock bottom. That, Bridgeport dealers agree, is the condition in the sugar market, today.

There is a very large amount of sugar reposing in the Bridgeport storehouses which was purch ased at the rate of 22.5 cents pound. In many retail stores sugar is selling for IT and IS cents pound and it is going to 10 cents according to report.
 Tt is a losing proposition from the wholesale end of the game said Samuel Suesman, of the National Grain Company, of this city. The present retail prices are below the re- fining prices There is plenty of sugar in the market today, but we think that the conditions are gradually inn proving for us. The demand has slightly increased within the last day or So.''
 In the wholesale market today the sugar is selling for IT cents a, pound, but few wholesalers are purchasing at this figure as it is their idea to dispose of the sugar they have on hand, or

 ''If we could guarantee the jitney business in Bridgeport was permanent we could easily get enough jitneys of the most modern type here to meet all traffic demands.
