"The so celled shortage of sugar does not exist." says Marcus Black- more. president of the association. "Present prices represent pure in flation caused thmugh hoarding by sugar s| eculators." * He said that with the sugar that has already lx?en received in this country ami the amounts contract«! for and available on the Cuban mar ket, an excess of more than 500.1MM» tons over last year's consumption is in sight. "If the housewive want to help they should begin by using up the small suppli«*s of 25 to 1(M) pounds which moat of th.-m have stored As soon as th«* dealers see that buying has ceased. prices will tumble and the enormous stocks now store«! in warehouses end freight cars will Lie- come available at reasonable figures. "Foreign countries which never twfore shipp«*d sugsr to the Unite«! States. are now invading the Ameri can market, content to deprive them selves of their normal supply in or der to profit by the high prices this country is willing to pay.” Other manufacturers using sugar largely arc expected to support the stand against high prices The As sociation will make no contracts for sugar at prevent prices and the Can dy Manufacturers Association is ex pected to take similar action during their convention next week in St Paul.
