Eastern Sugar Stocks
Declared Adequate
For Rationing
90, 1888 Tons Reported
Available at Four
Seoboord Centers
Pv tht Associated Press


NEW YORK. April l7.-Sugar
supplies in the East. where stocks
were so low a month ago reflners
we're operating part time, were re-
ported Yesterday to be sufficient 10
meet the half pound per person
ration.
Trade figures showed that in the
New York, Boston. Philadelphia and
Baltimore areas 90,sS3 tons OF raw
sugar were available April 9. COM
pared with lSS,634 tons on January
and 203,527 tons a year ago
While an over all total for the
Seaboard States was not available,
sugar men felt that gave cross
section view.
The sharp drop from the first of
the year, they said, had been slowed
up recently by shipments from Cuba
to Florida by boat and on to re-
fineries by rail.
The Governments zone" plan,
requiring ref1neries to ship only to
users in their vicinity. was another
factor helping to keep supplies
available.
Trade sources said that they had
heard of no shipments of beet sugar
from the Western United States,
considered earlier in the year as a
way of meeting the situation created
by loss of ships and Japanese cap
ture of the Philippines. once sup
plier of nearly 100000 tons a year.
At the same time. Lamborn & Co,
large sugar firm here, estimated
available supplies this year, for
domestic use and for ase-lend
shipments, would be 8.50s,000 tons,
slightly more than the 1941 total
when lease lend was not such q large
factor. The sugar concern voiced
the opinion that the supply situa-
ton might not be as stringent as
believed earlier, although shipping
remained the determining factor.

NEW YORK. April l7.-Retail

today in its trade review. noting that
shoppers were quality conscious
rather than price conscious.
Retailers commented on the pro-

A strong seasonal upSwing in sales
of home furnishings was emphasized

Investment buying persisted in all

but was increasingly limited In hard
goods by depleted stocks and re-
strictions, the survey showed, while
