" ' "eru Sugar Prices Near Peak; 'New Fields Are Now Ready Raw Material Quotations Are Now Station ary, and Break in Them Would Bring Cost Tumbling, Authorities Say New York, April 2.1. The. wave of high prices for sugnr is near Its peak, with new production fields ready to odd lo Amerlcn's supply, independent oper ators here believe. One of the most significant factors in n situation thnt touches everv one's pocket nerve Is that there Jiasbecu no clinngc In the price of raw sugnr for the last week. Previously law sugar had been climb ing about onc-hnlf cent a dnv for ten days or two weeks, the rise being re flected In the retail price for the refined product dimnud and nt tho comer gro ceries. "If the price drops even slightly," predicted one rprntrnlzoil niillmrll.r Upholders all over the country will be- Kiu 10 ici go tneir supplies.

In cluding Czccho-Slovakia, Java and the West Indies. .Tnpancsu iuturcsis con trol 175,000 tons of sugnr lu the Phil ippine islands which are now being di verted to the United States because of me nnnnciai crisis in Japan. These extra imports equal about one tenth of the normal sugar consumption tho United States, estlmntcd at 4,000,000 tons, but which is Increasing indirectly because of prohibition. Great er consumption of candies drinks is the reason. and soft Production Much Less Statisticians estimate thnt the world annually consumes 20.000.000 tnnM nf sugar. Falling production is the pen-1 nnmic renson advanced for soaring prices. The Kiiropenn beet sugar crop for the last year was 15.000.000 tons in stend of the. normnl 8.000,000-ton crop. This wns pnrtlv enmpensed for by nn increase of 2,000,000 tons in the world production of enne sugnr. Independent operntors here deny there is n direct connection between the halt in the upward trend of raw sugnr prices and the fact that refiners have been summoned to 'Washington for 'n "con ference" next Mondny. The invitations were sent out by the Department of Justice nnd numerous questions are to be asked bv Howard Figg, specfal assistant to the United States attorney general. Operators say the price halt enmc before the refiners were Invited to the Capitol. Philadelphia Limit "Absurd" New York brokers nrc frankly skepti cal of the utility nf prosecutions under the I.ever net ns far ns bringing down the price of sugnr is concerned. Qne broker today termed "absurd" the twenty-cent limit, fixed by the Philadelphia fair-price committee. The solution will come, he said, from the Inw of supply nnd demand. Supplies from new production fields, iu added, will be more potent thnn numberless prosecutions. "The prosecutions should be effective, however." he said.

The fifth district delegation (Kansas City and Jnckson county) and the St. Louis delegation, with the exception of two wards, cast their ballots against the measure. The convention nlso failed to elect Senator Heed ns n delegnte-at -large, breaking the precedent of selecting the senior United States senntor.
