SUGAR REFIrIERS
STIFF ON PRICES
Make No Concessions to Wholesalers :
Refuse to Cancel Contracts at
Exorbitant Prices.

i BOSTON, Sept. 2. = Wholesale groc
ers testified yesterday before Attorney
i General j. Weston Allen, at his office
to having vainly attempted for some
time to induce the American Sugar Re.
lining company to scale down the price
/ OF sugar on contracts made last MAY on
| a Oasis of 22% cents a pound
| winthrop G. Adams, president of the
Wholesale Grocers association, said
that the New York Office of the refinery
dIscourag ed any attempt to get a revi-
sion of the contracts.
Mr.. Adams said that there is a short
age of sugar throughout the world,
but there is tremendous supply here
on account of the high price that has
been paid in this country. What is on
hand now will last, without replenish-
ing, till Jan. l, 1921, he said
In describing how the wholesalers
sought relief so as to be able to give
lower sugar prices to meet the market.
Mr.. Adams explained that at a meeting
OF representatives of the New England
Wholesale Grocers' association two
weeks ago with William Van Post War
ren, manager of the Boston refinery of
the American Sugar Refining company.
two plans for relief were suggested.
Mr. Warren was to go to New York
and see at what price the company
would cancel contracts-the wholesai-
ers to pay a certain amount pound
for the release of their contracts. Mr.
Warren was also asked to see if the
company would agree to give up their
refinery profits on these contracts to !
help the wholesalers out of the situa. |
tion.
The wholesalers also suggested that
Mr.. Warren learn what price the com |
pany would sell equal quantities more |
of sugar to holders of its contracts at /
special low price, so that the whole
5aler might average out somewhere
near the market.
According to Mr.. Adams. Mr.. Warren
stated he would be very glad to 90 toll
New York, but did not. Mr.. Adams is
ot the opinion that the head Office dis
outraged his trip.
What chance Is there to get sugar
outside of the state2" asked Attorney
General Allen.
we might get sugar from New York
md Philadelphia, if they are not out of h
ne market, but freight conditions were
never worse than they are now,D re-
Dlied Mr.. Adams. Deliveries from
hese points require two weeks and i
mean lot of additional expense
Mr.. Adams said that there are some i
wholesalers who are so loaded ND with
American Sugar contracts that they
will be glad to unload at between Is
nd Is cents.
The hearing closed without a date
'elng set for its resumption.
