The sugar situation is getting worse and tho shortage may be prolonged, the commerce depart ment reported today. The decrease in shipments of raw sugar from the Caribbean in recent weeks was given as the main reason. This decrease came at a time when sugar refiners had expect ed to be. in nosltion to fill a back-log of accumulated orders. The department said It may force curtailment' ol refinery operations. ., The commerce department said nothing about changes In sugar rationing, But the wor sening situation clearly Indicat ed tho possibility of a cut in ra tioning of sugar for Industrial users who have been the first to be affected by a reduced supply. Commerce department offi cials said the decrease In re ceipts of raw sugar is ' largely due to tho diversion of-ships to other routes. . They said another factor in the shortage is the small beet crop of 1043, which Is apportion ed over 1944 and now Is "catch ing up with us." Arrivals of raw sugar in the first 10 months of the year were 500,000 tons above the same pe riod of 1043. However, in those same months domestic consump tion ran uuu.uuu tons ahead of last year. TIk department said year-end stocks will be "materi ally lower" than the 1,700,000 tons on hand at the end of 1B43.
