He and Other Investigators
Found Vast Amount of
Sugar Stored In This
Country - An Excess of
100000 Tons Over Last

tion Is In Sight

NEW YORK, May 20. - The Ma
tional Preservers and Fruit Products

bers would stay out of the sugar mar
ket until the price of sugar comes
down. The association claimed to rep

does not exist, read statement by
Marcus Blakemore, president of the as
sociation, who has investigated avail
able supplies with the help of the de-
partment of justice and representatives
of the refining industry. Present
prices represent pure imitation caused
through boarding by suar specula
tors" He said that with the sugar al
ready in this country and the amount
contracted for and available on the
Cuban market, an excess of more than
100000 tons over last years total
consumption was in sight.
Mr. Blakemore said that he and other
members of the association had been
surprised by the amount of sugar they
found stored up in the country.
"When we started this investiga.
tion we thought as everyone did that
there really was shortage. Our pur,
pose was to discover where the sugar
was so we could buy it for use in oul
business. When we discovered the
facts we called a meeting of the asso
citation. Out of about 60 members rep
resenting 50 per cent of the jams, jel
lies and preserves industry in the coun
try, more than 45 came to New York
Our action was unanimous. After th'
members heard our report of condi
tions they voted unanimously to refus'
to purchase sugar until present higl
prices are cut in two. We will clos
down our factory after using up tn
supply we now have if the speculator
refuse to listen to reason.
