PRICE OF SUGAR
WILL RISE AGAIN
Two Cents Per Pound Boost
Announced Friday By
OPA Officials

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-U.D-
The retail price of sugar will 60 up
two cents a pound soon, adding
about $500, 900, 900 to consumers
annual food bill, the OPA announc-
ed Friday.
The price boost-third this year
will be effective as soon as dis
tributors have sold their present
stocks. II will follow increases to
90 into effect Wednesday OF l IL
cents a pound for domestic produc-
ers and 1.73 cents a pound to Cuban
growers.
The Agriculture department,
meanwhile, held out hope that the
present sugar shortage would be
relieved somewhat next year. But
supplies still will be considerably
bellt normal, it said. The Depart
ment based its prediction on a 20
Der cent larger sugar beet acreage
in this country and more sugar
cane production in Cuba and Puerto
Rico.
Increase Required
OPA said the new sugar increase
is required under a buying agree
ment between the Commodity
Credit CORP, and the Cuban gov
eminent covering the 1946 and 1s47
c+ons Of Cuban raw sugar.
Under "escalator" clauses in the
agreement, the price paid for
Cuban sugar Is tied to rises IN the
cost of living in this country. Thu
he two-cent a pound retail price
rise allows for higher prices to be
paid Cuba because OF the soaring
cost Of living here.
,OPA said the increase was grant,
ed also. to beet sugar producers 10
prevent unequal distribution and
10 preserve the historical price
%differential. Subsidy payments to
domestic, Hawaiian, and Puerto
Rican producers will be suostan-

price increase.
.OPA in February ordered the
price Of sugar up one cent a pound
to cover increased prices granted
producers, and in June authorized
another one-cent rise on five
pounds because of a price boost to
refiners.
The new rise Of two cents a pound
Unexpectedly high. as it had
been anticipated in sugar circles
that the advance would be only one
cent a pound.
