Arbuckles bought 60,000 bags of store (refined) sugar for July and August shipment at 56% cents a pound.

Second Cold Fact—The Arerican Babst politely declined to be quoted, but gave permission to use printed statements previously made by him. The result of these pleasant hours with the heads of great refining con- cerns may with perfect Justice to both gentiemen be summed up as follows: J There is not now and never was ® any excuse for the present in- creased prices of sugar, raw or re- _fined, wholesale or retail, For a mod- erate Increase from the field to and including the consumer there tn- doubtedly is ample reason. For Im- moderate, none. 2 Mr. Spreckels frankly and rather @ heartily admitted that refiners recetve from a beneficent Govern- ment, meaning Uncle Sam, the 1 cent & pound duty Uncle Sam demands on raws brought in here from Cuba, It 4s returned to them when the raw ts refined and exported. Mr. Babst, on the other hand, did not frankly and heartily admit that refiners got back the cent, or, as it Is termed, the “drawback.” Mr. Babst entered Sato te gl ; $ @ very pretty and Interesting discus- {I cannot say offhand what have been gion which, in results, meant exactly | ‘he suing In this eee Mo the same thing Mr. Spreckels passed | Well, my boy, our price to-day of & over lightly by a frank admission. | cents is the actual, not nominal, Let Refiners generally are rather touchy |me tell you something more—the about that “drawback.” There is a President, increased its profits from operations for 1916 Just $6,764,914.03 over 1915, The profits for 1918 we $2,991,465.39; for 1916, $9,766,379.42. Now listen to Mr. Spreckels: “You want fo know why sugar is high? Because there ts a big demand for it right now, Why did we raise sugar to 8% cents the pound in Apa Sugar was scarce, so scarce that we could not supply the demands even at that price, and we had to refuse to fill orders in order to conserve the product. Why is sugar sold to/ foreign countries at a price below the | port? actly true, Is Could we scrape up sugar if the ex- port demand was as big now as it plentiful, Yes, probably we could get | more for exports if there was a de mand, Why did the buying refined sugar in this country? | Well, they haven't stopped altogether. | Haven't the refiners cleared up ap- proximately $30,000,000 _ in profits during the last fiscal yea I don't think It,!s as much as that.
