District Sugar Supply
Drops Steadily Under
Refinery Quota Plan

The sugar supply In Washington
has decreased steadily In recent
weeks after refineries placed jobbers
and wholesalers on a strict quota
basis, which In turn is passed to
retailers, 1t was learned today.
AL segments of the trade took a
gloomy view Of the sugar situation
and said they saw no Improvement
this year.
Jobbers and wholesalers estimated
their present supply at anywhere
from 80 to so per cent below last
year,
Quota system Started July /.
The refineries. according to one
source, instituted a quota program
on July !. Because Of this, whole
salers must dole out reduced sup
plies to each of their customers.
| Some stores, in turn, are limiting
consumers to 5 pounds of sugar per
sale.
Meanwhile, the District OPA re-
ported that applicants for home
canning sugar were running ahead
OF the ALLEGATION for this area, lead
ing to the assumption that many
housewives planning to can produce
from gardens would be unable to
get extra sugar.
OPA Takes No Chances.
1t was overissuance Of canning
sugar last year that partially led
to the present tight supply, and the
OPA Is taking no chances of q
repetition this summer.
Some local wholesalers had a lit
tie reserve OF sugar, but this is being
used up fast.
They now look to increased ship
ments of sugar refined outside the
country--Cuba, Puerto Rico and
other overseas producing areas.
