the Great Western Sugar Company,
speaking before the Billings Com
mercial Club, said that the main fac
ter in bringing down the price OF
sugar in the domestic market, was
that the United States last year Of
ferad the most favorable sugar mar
ket in the world, due to the immense
consuming capacity of the American
people. This, combined with high
prices, attracted sugar from all coun-
tries in the world until the American
market was glutted. This over sup
ply caused the bottom to drop out of
the market and as result domestic
beet sugar producers have been fore
ed to sell their product during the
The Ordway new era., 1921-06-24

past winter and spring at prices less
than the cost of producing it from
beets contracted for at high figure
early in 1920.
The collapse in the demand has
made the best output, which came
late into the market, move slowly.
and the manufacturers still have on
hcnd large stocks of sugar which
were produced while costs were still
high. In consequence, sugar manu-
facturer5 are forced to cut all costs
to the bone and at the same time
raise processeG OF production to the
highest possible degree of effieien-
cy.
Harmonious relations between the
beet growers and the factories will
tide the western sugar industry over
one of the most critical periods it has
ever faced.
