Reduction Announced at New Orleans Today, But No Change Is Looked for Here.

The retail price of sugar in Bridge port is 25 cents pound and will re- main at that price for the present, ac- cording to a canvass taken among some of the larger wholesale grocery houses this morning. Wholesalers are paying from 22 to 26 cents s pound and cannot afford to lower the retail price at this time, according to one dealer interviewed this morning. When asked how it was that in some places retail dealers were advertising a. special price of sugar at 20 cents a pound the same dealer said that money among retailers was pretty tight at the present time and that those dealers who were selling at 20 cents were forced to sell at a loss to realize returns.
 'It is true,' said one dealer, that some wholesale firms have made a reduction of three cents pound but investigation showed that these deal CTS had been getting from 27 to 28 cents for sugar wholesale"
