Dear Sir:-
i
The Food Commission
has sized
the
;
~
maximum price.of
raw sugar
at
13
cents
a pound.
Will you
or
any
one
else
be
!
~
kind enough
to
enhighten
the public
on
|
the guide used
i ' determining
thi: figure?
The New
York quotation
is
13.04
e~nts
|
and if this
value
is held
to
whe:
fixing
|
the price
of cane it
is
quite
a
pazzle
(o
‘
uncerstand
wuy
the
same fig r- should
not be taken
in
re -ulating
the
price
of
sugar
when sold in the island.
The prige
pa:d for sugar
in New York is
13. J4; that
|
is
to say,
the shippers
after
pay g
ex-
|
por. duty, freight, storage
and
o hor
ex-
penses
connaeeted
with disposing
¢
their |
sugar
in New York,
come off with
con-
siderably
less
than
13.04
cents.
Yet
‘
here
in the
piace where
it
is made
and
where
the
means of
the
people
scarcely
will afford
them
to
pay
13 cents,
ihe
price is fixed at
close
on
3
cents
more
than the gross price abroad.
Ite?ppears
to many thinking people
that these
is an
oversight somewhere,
and
this matter
is
presented
for consideration.
.he
whoie-
sale price of sugar
in the island
ougzht
to
be fixed at what
ithe
article
nets in
New
York according
to market quotation there,
and if that is
done,
there
will be
a
fair
margin ofprofit for
retailers
when they
turn it
over here
at
the
gross
price,
at
present
say
134 or even
14 cents.
Whet’s
the wholesale
price of sugar
fixed by
the
Food
Commission
anyway?
Don’t
re-
remember
seing
it.
