The de partment of justice today refused to grant relief to sugar speculators who have been caught in the slump of prices. It was announced that these speculators must absorb their losses which have been brought about by the failure of their plans to main tain high retail prices in the face Of a falling- market. . - The dealers bought enormous stocks of sugar, believing that they would be able to run the retail price up to 30 or 40cents . a pound. .' This would I have netted them enormous profits. But the market fell so rapidly1 that sugar is now retailing at IT cents. The dealers, therefore, stand to lose hundreds of thou sands of dollars on their transactions. DEALERS MAKE APPEALS V A flood ' of appeals has come ' to the department from the dealers asking that price-fixing machinery be employed to save them from threatened losses. They want- the retail price fixed at a figure which will enable them to recoup part of the money invested in sugar stocks when the market was around 22c, whole sale, as it was - when the Cuban sugar crop was purchased. , i rl ; John F. Crosby, special assistant of Attorney General Palmer in charge of activities against profiteering, declared today that the sugar speculators can expect no. relief from the department. He said: j "It is the business of the department of justice to decrease prices, not to in crease them. In the recent period, of high sugar prices, many persons specu lated shamelessly.' They will get .scant sympathy now from the public, or' from anyone else, if. instead of making gains, they incur losses. . g ABGEXTI3TE SUGAR .

"The fact that a man is charging more than 17H cents for Sugar is not prima facie evidence that he Is prof iteering, for it may be .that he bought the sugar at a '. high price. under the Lever act it is ' a violation of the law for a dealer, In sugar to make more than ; 1 cent(- a r pound profit - If! any who persist, in charging high prices for sugar can be convicted of making jmore thaii the legal margin w of profit, i they Will pay . the penalty."
