Corn-May, 75@75A cents: July

According to one local house for
eign wheat prices indicated that out

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE sugar

the hysteria which they experienced
cents q pound, there is no power
that know OF to prevent Tepe
tition Of such prices.
The American people do not seem
to realize that the sugar market

pendent upon one or q few sources
Of supply for the raw product. Dur
ing the last sugar shortage we
brought raw sugar from India

have no quarrel with the De-
partment Of Commerce in issuing
its statement, which at best could
cover only the superficial aspects
of the case But ! do object
quite strenuously to the drawing of
deductions which are not concuTTed
in by the leaders of the sugar in
dustry. The same applies to other
important branches of industry.
With raw sugar at 3k cents the
reffners can make profit at
cents wholesale, but when raWs ere
pushed to 6 cents through specu-
latiOn based on hysteria, the only
thing for the refiners to do Isl to
stay out Of the market until condi-
tions are normalized. That is just
what we are doing at present, and
will continue to do until we can see
the light.
