' ' 'Steps to prevent nn nbuormnl vin r.rease in the price of sugar, because ' of the, existing "shortage, were taken today by the department of justice. Attorney General rainier notified i.-f ,nr refineries, who have been withholding their product from market, , cC(jni. street. That tbo United States sugar equaliza tion board bad determined that ten oenta was ft fair price to be charged the wholesaler and that any chnrgo in ices of that amount would be re gaMcd in violation of the food con trol act. TtofiiiPr,. were asked to telegraph their concurrence in this price, which means" they would put their supply on the market immediately, thereby re lievlng the present stringency. The price to tho wholesaler here-' tofore has been nino cents so that the jiew price means nn increase orotic cent n pound. v Y 'ElexoirCent Cliargn Sanctioned Iletailers have bent allowed to churgc fclcvcn cents a pound for controlled migar under the old prices. While tho Department of Justice and the sugar board did not state what the jiew retail price would be, it wits nb- 1 mimed that thcinereuse would be not greater than tho wholcsalo aduineo. ' Attorney General Palmer made pub llo the following telegram sent to beet sugar refiners: , , . 'After thorough investigation by tin recognized authorities on sugar the tho United States sugar equalization board has notified the Department of Justice of tho following facts: , " 'An n considernblo pari, tit the i-ountry generally, supplied at this time of the year wlffi1 beer sugar may be embarrassed becnuse of the beet sugui factories failure to bell beet sugar iw produced,- nnd this couditioti, ill turn, is due to tbo uncertainty regarding price, our judgment H thut no higher lirlco than" ten cents cash, less -per cent seaboard basis, is, Justified. "We hope that you will decide at onco to begin marketing jour sugar on this basis and relievo the -.cry serious situation. Tho price of tenand tuic balf cents net cash f. o. b. plant, which lias been offered by the sugar cqunlizu- tlon board for sugars in excess of re quirements in your territory as shown by "your 1017 deliveries as a "minimum up to 50,000 tons for November and December shipments to relieve an acute bhortage among tho manufacturers east, is not to be considered u precedent of basis for loeal prices. "I ask you to make jour announce ment of prices based on tho above. The Department of Justice will Jreat,us an unjust charge any price in excess of this and consider such a. charge a viola tion of Section 4 of tho'Lcvcr food con trol act, as amended. Candy Ulakcrs Short Confectioners in various Motions of the city have been f6rced to slop mak iug candy because of the acute sugar shortage. The shortage is'beripusly af fecting the prescription druggists also, who say many prescriptions call for sugar. Ice, cream manufacturers arc "crip pling along on a hnnd-to-mouth ba sis," according to Robert Crane, man ager of the Crane Company. And housewives find it virtually impossible to get sugar. James It. Walker, secretary of the Retail Confectioners' Association, said , sonic confectioners have been forced to close their shops, and that others will be forced out of business if their sup ply is cut two-thirds, as has been pro posed. - Sir thousand tons of raw suenr. which arrived in port last night from Cuba, will be ready for market within n few days and may stave off the threat ened famine, dealers say.
