 OR RAISE IN PRICE

 Cooperating with the department of justice the tariff commission will have its agents at work to ascertain to just what extent the gamblers have operated. The department of agricul- ture has issued statement showing that the 1922-1923 sugar crop will be the largest in the worlds history, at least 20,450,0O0 tons being available for the market during the year.
 Secretary Wallace. in making public his estimate, stated that these figures are a flat contradiction to the state ments issued by Secretary Hoover, which have been interpreted as pre- dieting a shortage in the sugar mar ket, and which was made use of by su- gar manipulators to ''rig' the market and boost the retail price of sugar up to ten cents.
