Food Prices Begin To Show Effect OF
War AS Housewives Hoard Stables
GrOcers Swamped by Heavy
Purchases of Commodities
First of Week
Sugar, Beans, Flour and Canned
Goods Show Marked
Pickup in Sales

Fears of sugar shortage similar
to that of World war days resulted
in large scale purchases of that COM
codity in Bluffton stores the first of
the week.
The European war situation to-
gether with a false rumor that sug-
ar could be purchased only in limit
ed amounts were believed to have
been the underlying causes of one of
the largest days volume of sugar
sales seen here in years, Tuesday.
This situation was further aug
mented by the fact that the canning
season is now at its height, which
normally shows considerable in
crease in sugar buying.
PLENTY OF SUGAR
Dealers here stated that sugar
was available to consumers in any
quantity which they might wish and
there was no word of any impending
limitation in purchases.
Prices, however, showed some ad-
vance over last week and if nation
wide buying of foodstuffs continues
on a larger scale than usual, further
advances are expected in beans,
flour, canned goods and other pro-
ducts.
Flour prices nationally are said to
have advanced 40 cents barrel, the
best grades now selling at $6.40 per
barrel. Beans, a staple wartime
commodity, have gone up one cent a
pound generally thruout the nation,
and beef and pork prices are expected
to climb shortly.
Demand for canned goods has been
quite heavy in many cities and whole
salers have announced that if 'hoard-
ing buying continues" prices undoubt-
edly will be forced higher.
There is said to be a great surplus
of food commodities and the ordinary
laws of supply and demand do not
warrant i'm most cases an increase in
prices.
Farmers are likely to get higher
prices for their corn this fall because
of the war than they otherwise would
have received, observers commented.
If such is the case beef and pork
prices also will run higher than what
might normally have been expected
To permit a study of the market,
national sugar refiners last week
withdrew completely from marketing
activities, and the only stocks avail
able were in wholesalers warehouses
and retail stores.
Refners said they would remain off
the market until conditions settle and
enable them to determine policy.
