BASIC FACTS
ABOUT SUGAR

Refined sugar a year ago sold at
26 cents a pound. Today at whole
sale it is $40 cents.
For year past the trend OF prices
has been steadily downward, and
every possible depressing influence
natural and artificial, has been all
lowed full sway.
The overstocking of the United
States market during 1920 with
sugar from every part Of the world
made fall In prices inevitable.
The constant hammering down of
prices can succeed only while heavy
supplies of sugar are offered which
must find buyers promptly.
The quantity OF sugar remaining
unsold in Cuba is large larger than
is likely to find market in the United
States before the end of the year.
