The Sugar "Taminc" Ends

TOR many months the housewife has
l been subjected to recurring alarms
over the prospect of an extended sugar
famine. She has been warned that her
canning would be limited this year: that
she might soon be placed on ration basis
in supplying her table needs. and periods
might come when she would have TO re-
sort 10 substitutes for sugar or do without
swectcnng materials altogether.
These warnings now seem TO have been
manufactured somewhere by somebody in
order to reconcile the family purchaser of
sugar TO the high prices which have pre-
vailed for months. There is no actual sugar
shortage There has been none when the
worlds supply was regarded as whole
True, there has not been as much sugar
available as there was when il sold for 6,
s and 10 cents n pound. That was before
the war. when Europe raised most OF the
sugar. it used and such countries as Ger
many exported great deal Of that product.
But there is enough sugar TO go around.
This has recently been proven by the
fashion in which high American prices have
attracted TO the markets Of this country
enormous shipments of sugar. With the
retailers getting anywhere from 30 TO %
cents pound for the small quantities which
they were doing out 10 their customers,
and wholesalers and retiners getting prices
in proportion. this country became the most
inviting sugar market in the world
Cuba. China Brazil. the Argentine Hol-
land and other big sugar-growing coun-
tries. began sending their surplus
product TO the United States. No such
profits could be hoped for anywhere else
in the world and all hands were out
stretched for the big money which II
seemed possible 10 make at the expense
OF the American consumer
But the Old law of supply and demand
began 10 operate once more. With the
markets Of the United States flooded with
sugar. the excessive price level could not
stand the strain. Almost overnight the
market collapsed and the Wholesale quota
hons began tobogsaning. Raw sugar
which had brought wholesale, approx
matcly 20 cents n pound in some sections
dropped within week to 1890 cents
Later Ii broke TO 1904. and there were
confident predictions that 1o-cent sugar
would be available in quantity before many
more weeks passed.
Refined sugar likewise went down. On
one particular grade OF high quality it
dropped from 21.l0 cents TO 17.l0 cents
within few days. Retailers who had
bought stocks at from 30 to % cents
pound, expecting to get upward OF % To
80 cents for it have become panicky, and
are having difficulty in getting the cost
price for their stocks
On top Of the present market news
comes the agreeable tidings that the beet
sugar crop this year will be the largest
