out of the sugar market until the
price of sugar comes down from its
present high level
The association
savs it repr«‘sents Kli per cent of the
manufacturers of the country who
make jams, jollies and preserves.
"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

"Foreign countries which never

selves of their normal supply in or

country is willing to pay.”
Other manufacturers using sugar
largely arc expected to support the
stand against high prices
The As

sugar at prevent prices and the Can
