PRICE OF SUGAR TOO
HIGH, SAYS SPRECKLES
Production Both in Cuba and
Europe Unprecedentedly
Large.

New York. Oct. 13.-Claus A
Sprncklcs. president of the Federal
Sugar Refining company. who de-
clared on his arrival from abroad
three days ago that the price Of sugar
was too high, emphasized his remarks
today by announcing that he would at
once shut down the Federal company $
plant at YonkerS.
Sugar must fail in price" said MT
SpreCkels. "COnditionS in Cuba re-
crived in reports by cable assert that
there is so much heavy cane growing
that they expect to begin grinding the
new crop about one month TO SIX
weeks earlier than usual; that Is. they
will begin about December l instead
o. January |.
Gables from France show that
their crop l. unprecedented in the
purity of the hcrts and a higher per-
centace Of sugar contained than has
been recorded for many years.
Beet sugar producers in Europe
will have a surplus Of over 100000
tons. and ICanuot see that there will
be any exports 20 Europe for the next
six months.
sugar has been advanced in price
ihree-quarters Of d cent in the last
two or three weeks.
This is an advance that bears the
earmarks Of pure speculation and not
because Of legitimate conditions.
