Sargent, Manager lt Second Arcane, Seattle, Wash. 0 MA1UCET BASKET By Hrmnn H. Cohen Lower prices are anticipated In tbe sugar market soon. This much la Judged by ho present standing: of the trade at Eastern centers, which In turn win have its effect upontthe Pacific coast markets. The public has not purchased the storks of sugar that the big: fellows have anticipated and It is alwaya the public which makes or unmakes prices if - it only was aware of its power. The big fellows used the export de mand as a club to force values to the present extreme mark'v,but from the present standpoint of - supply and de mand, even leading wholesalers have been unwilling to admit that tbe refiners were justified'- or the government should have allowed the extreme , prices now charged. Now the export has dwindled And this If causing fright among those who are Interested only in making the public pay. It Is likewtse getting the season of the year when sugar supplies Increase and now on there will be a surplus o'f sugar until the bulk of the cane crop is ground. The. following prices are average one that ponsomeni are expected to pay at retail stores.
