Stocks Will Probably

Dealers All at Sea as to Trend Of
Market - Lessened Domestic De-.
mand Forced Down Price Huge
Qua tiles Arrive from Many
Countries - Admitted Profits Will
Be Materially Cut and Perhaps
Wiped Out
New York, Aug. 31--W'hether the
price of sugar after its quick decline
of last week has reached bottom or is
due for further drops was the subject
of conjecture here today among deal
ers. some Of whom are said to stand
to lose heavily if additional breaks
occur.
The consensus of conservative opin J.
ion among traders was that many
heavy losses were not to be expected.
All agreed that profits would be ma :
terially curtailed and in some cases
would have to be foregone completely
to avoid more serious consequences
should lessened demand force the
market still lower
The bottom fell out of the market
on, large dealer said today, shortly
after the demand for domestic con-
sumption and export failed to absorb
huge quantities of sugar which poured
in from nearly every country.
From the high price of over % cents
for refined sugar the price garvitated
rapidly to Il with frequent offerings
at Is cents from spectators who
feared the end of the decline had
not been reached.
Today one refinery yielded to con :
tinued pressure. cutting to 16 cents
for fine granulated, or a cent under
other refineries and about cents be-
low the highest prices of the early
summer.
Most sugar dealers secuted the idea
that failures on a large scale would
result fro mthe break. general I'M
settling of the grocery trade with a
return to profit scales of two years
ago would be the most noticeable con-
sequences, it was predicted.
One authority on the sugar trade
expressed the opinion that before
long retailers would be forced to limit
profits to less than a cent a pound:
One factor which contributed to the
sudden drop in prices has been expec-
tation of an unusually good sugar
beet crop, it was stated.
