New York. May 20.-The Ma

ucts association announced here to-
day that its members will stay out
of the sugar market until the price
of sugar comes down from its pres
ent high level,
II is the hope of the association,
Mr. Blakemore said, to start a
nationwide movement among man
ufacturers using sugar and also
among the housewives of the coun-
try aimed at the present high
prices.
~s'If the housewives want to help
they should begin by using up the
small supplies of 25 to 100 pounds
which most of them have stored
away" he said, AS soon as tne
dealers see that buying has ceased
prices will tumble and the enor-
nous stocks now stored In ware

come available at reasonable fls-
ures." 49,,
"Foreign countries which never
before shipped sugar to the Unlted
States are now invading the Amer
lean market, content to deprive
themselves of their normal supply
in order to profit by the high
prices this country is willing TO
pay" 49,. .uo.
MIR. Blakemore said that other
associations of manufacturers using
sugar largely were expected to sup
port the preserve and jam makers
in their stand against high prices
He said that the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers of Fruit
Syrup and Soda Water FlaVors
had recommended that its members
make no contracts for sugar al
present prices, and that the Candy
Manufacturers association was ex-
pected to take similar action dur
ing their convention next week IN
