in-
stant
relative
to
public
comment
that
|
the
sugar
factories
should
relieve
the
present
unusual
condition
0. the
market
|
in
which
connection
we
gsve
it as
our
‘
opinion that
the
sugar
fact ries
having
|
already
placed
in the
hands
of
dealers
|
more
sugar
than has
been
uctually
con-
|
sumed
it
does
not
appear
expedient
that
|
they
be required
to
survencer
a part
of
their
stock
at
this
time when
the
very
|
pewple
to
whom
they
sold
it
at
|
the
then
low
price
still
hold
enough
|
to
meet
the
local
demard
for
some
|
time,
it appears
that our position
is clear
enough:
still
the
Herald
thinks
we
|
are taking sides
with the factories.
The
E
fact
is
we consider it likely to resuit
in
a
|
repitition of similar conditior s if the facto-
ries let out more sugar i
the same
manner.
|
Perbaps
the
most practical
way
would be
|
to have
the
Food
Commission
retail the
sugar.
Dealers
claim
there
is
no money
in handling

difficulties,

have
expressed

their
preference

having

do so.
