HIGHER SUGAR PRICES

Costs, Claim

Washington, d. c.. Jan. s.-Higher
prices for sugar may be expected ac-
cordinG to the result OF an investiga-
ton into the situation of the sugar
industry made public tonight by the
commerce department..
The market" the department said
"is entirely uninflucnced by any arti-
ficial control and the present low price
level manifcstly cannot long continue
without restricting the production OF
sugar below the worlds demands and
again creating high prices"
The. department found that there is
an abnormal visible world surplus
of sugar amounting to about 1.200,0OO
tons congcstcd in the western hemis-
pherc.
Invisible stocks OF sugar in the
hands OF wholesalers and retailers
was estimated at from 100000 to
400, 900 tons below normal. due to
apprehension OF further fall in prices.
The world production OF sugar for
1922 was estimated by the department
to be less by from 100000 to 100000
tons than production for 1921 while
consumption for 1879 1t was thought
would be larger than in 1921 and
with general economic recorery
should exceed production and thus
absorb some or all of the surplus"
Tho present price OF $l.S7 for &C.

be the lowest level for 20 years and
to below production cost of about
ninety per cent of both dom attic and
