Within the FO0D IN AMERICA Price Stability Called Great Help to Refiners and Consumers. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The St: NEW YORK, July 20.—Sugar now is relatively the lowest priced Amerl- can food product and the stability .of prices this year has worked for the decided benefit of a score of indus- tries as well as for ultimate con: sumers. There is little prospect for any wide advance in the near future. Although the Cuban.crop is about ground, the domestic beet sugar pro- duction which has acted as a_stab ilizer for the last vear, will shortly begin to come on the market. Consumption undoubtedly has been spurred to a remarkable . degree by steady and low prices, and conse- quently American refiners are expect- ed by many experts to show far more satisfactory profits this year than in 1924 when' their net returns were cut into by the sharp fluctuations of raw can refiners who own Cuban planta aof in- creased refined consumption to pro duce profits from refined, even if the raw sugar yielded little. A future stabilizing factor was the determination by President Coolidge not to-alter the import duties on Cuban sugar. Domestic producers declare that had these tariffs been lowered the flood of Cuba sugar into this market would have disorganized it and forced them out of business. As a result of the steady prices for the cominodity, canners, preservers, soft drink manufacturers und other large consumers have been able to lay programs on a large scale his has aided farmers, orchardists id fruit growers as well the con tainer manufacturers, the grocers 'and other elements of the business fabric Home Canning Is Factor. This does not mean a lessening of competition to ,the packers, in f it has placed them in a position where i* housewives are not .satistfied with quality and prices, they can them selves become competitors of the packers through home canning. The use of sugar‘as a preservative of ripe fruit has gained steadilv this year and hundreds of ‘thousands of dollars have been saved to growers who otherwise must have seen fruit rot on the ground. The heaviest consumptive period of the year is now approaching and it is rally believed that despite the big vover into next season will not be large enough to cause any marked further reduction in iprice levels. Europe also is sugar than but the Euro. ) beet acreage has been increased 119,900 acres and the crop is esti mated at 7.100,000 tons, as compared with a yield of slightly more than 5,000,000 tons last year.
