25 CENT SUGAR NOT PROBABLE; IT'S USE WILL STOP SANBORN

By WILLIAM R SANBORN.. The men who have been predicting very high priced sugar, possibly 25c per pound at. retail, should calm themselves and not let imagination run riot. Long before that altitude could be reached there would be such a drastic cutting down in consumption that supplies would accumulate. The housewife has done her canning and preserving for the season, and so, too. have the commercial canners, The demand in recent weeks will not be duplicated until next spring. We ran get along with less sugar for a long time, and until the new Cuban and Porto Rican crops are available in January, will have to. This more particularly applies to the east and to seaboard cities. California is cared for, they having great beet sugar plants out there, and the cane crops of the Hawaiian islands to dray upon. As to the middle west, we have large beet sugar factories and the Louisiana cane output to draw from, and the pinch of famine conditions should presently be relieved. The fact that sugar and coffee have caused congress some concern of late, cannot be denied. It is becoming not merely a family breakfast table problem, but has a political angle, particularly as to how greatly the price of sugar effects the Louisiana planter. The New Orleans sugar refiners want the bars thrown down; the rest of us want the government to retain control, at least for another year. This we believe to be the wish of the consuming bublic, at least, though the refiner and jobber have their own views as to an open market and alll

board had decided that 10 cents was a fair price to wholesalers, and that charges In excess of that amount would be regarded as a violation of the food control act. The ruling price has been 9 cents for several months. Beet refiners have been holding up their output, but are now expected to cnocur in this ruling and to immediately market supplies. New York city was put upon a ration basis last week, In an attempt to curb hoarding and to divide the supply as equitably as possible. The allotment is 25,000 tons a month and candy and gum makers will get but 50 per cent of normal requirements, while consumers will be asked to deny themselves as during war days. The candy men claim that they have sweets stored for Christmas, and this must be also true in Chicago, where the candy and gum men contributed many carloads of sugar to relieve the pressure, a few days ago. Tremendous Consumption It is estimated that America has consumed 600,000 tons more of sugar within a year than ever before, at least that extra tonnage has disappeared. It is possible, of course, that a lot of this sugar is in hiding, awaiting the open market to follow when the life of the sugar control act ends. It is hoped, however, that congress will extend the time of control for another year, and the bill is now in committee. We are informed from Washington that "there will be no objections to the passage of this bill if a price satisfactory to the Louisiana planters can be fixed." Just a little matter of political expediency, be it observed, for the price ;s amply high right now, for legitimate profit. Prohibition a Factor That prohibition is partly responsible for added consumption is
