THE SUGAR COATING

The latest country heard from in the sugar debaele
the rener who advances ingenious hypothesis that
eaters may be responsible in large part the
lift in prices He points out that 100 year ago we
consumed pounds a year per CAPITA so years ago
40 pounds per CAPITA in 1921, 81 pounds, and last
year, 103 pounds. He says that sugar consumption
which has increased uniformity from year to year is
leapng now at astonishing rate.
All of which would mean something if it were
not fairly well established that present sugar
shortage is yet visible to the naked eye. However,
the theory is which is produced sooner or later
in any investigation of high prices, and habit governs
these matters pretty largely.
The government meanwhile decides that one actual
sale in every 10000 contracts effected in the last two
month on the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange
probably has much to do with the increase in price
Speculation that is not legitimate always tends to
initiate prices, undoubtedly the government is right

the sense of the meeting that the
town should be Incorporated. The
motion was carried practically un-
