The situation in this city has not materially changed since the ilrst or the week. At that time Harrisburg wholesalers had in stock scarcely enough sugar to .meet the needs of this city for one day. Small lots have been received since that time. Few retailers had an adequate suply on hand, and many merchants do not have a pound of sugar in their estab lishments to-day. One of Harrisburg's large depart ment stores is selling only to regular customers, and in limited amounts. Few dealers will sell more than two pounds to any person In one day. There is no actual famine of sugar in the citv, for the dealers have wisely adopted a plan which will give every one a little of the precious com modity, but the opportunity to hoard sugar has been removed. Those who linger before the coun ters and endeavor to persuade the clerks that their cases are unusual are advised to return and argue the matter later in the season. Sugar is scarce. One resident of Harrisburg visited eleven stores yesterday In his quest, and succeeded in buying two pounds. This case is not unusual. The high level at which sugar is being sold is ten cents. Some dealers have not increased the price above nine and one-half cents a pound. When the big consignment of Louisi ana sugar is received here, it is be lieved that the price "will drop to nor mal. Wholesalers are not prepared to say when this city will receive the expected supply, but housewives are urged to conserve as much as pos sible until conditions are different.
