DROP IN SUGAR PRICES HERE

Evidently the sugar speculator hoarders are letting loose, as the retail price has dropped at least 1» cents per pound in the past monfn and promises to go.still lower. Word comes from Wisconsin that she has the greatest potato crop in her history and that they will all be put on the market this fall, so the spud barons, too, will loosen up a little in the hear future. Coal is likely to drop several dollars a ton before very long, also, and if the consumer will just sit steady in the boat and hold off his purchases as long as possible it- will do more to force prices down than anything else that can be done.
