CONSUMPTION OF
SUGAR INCREASES
."In the discussion of the sugar sit
uation' that' appears from time to
time In the dally press the assump
tion Is rcry generally made that the
consumption' of sugar ln the United
States has fallen off to a consider
able extent during the present war,"
says Facts About Sugar. ''Apparently
the only basis for this Is that prices
have ruled somewhat higher thia year
than - last. Higher prices ordinarily
operate to curtail consumption. It is
taken for granted, therefore, that
consumption must be less.
"Au examination ot the facts ln
the oaf shows, as those conversant
with conditions In the sugar trade
are already aware, that the exact
contrary is the case. Instead of de
clining the average consumption of

sugar,; during the first half of the
current year has shown an appre
ciably increase as compared with the
corresptdlng" six months of 1916.
The staUttics published from week
to week showing 'the movement of
sugar reveal the fact that while total
receipts at all ports to July 1st have
beeu somewhat smaller than during
th? earlier halt of last year the dif
ference is very largely offset by the
decline in exports. Added to this ;s
the couMderstlon that the large crop
of. best sugar and Louisiana cane
have !?( tec even more completely
into consumption than waa the case
a year. ago. The remnant ot these
two crops unmarketed at the begin
ning ot July was negligible.
"The total consumption of sugar
from the various sources indicated.
deducting - exports and stocks on
hand, amounted for the first half
year of 191? roundly to 2,650,000 or
dinary tons, or very nearly 250,000
tons more then for the first six
months of 1916. This is an increase
of approximately 10 per cent, or an
average of above tour and one-half
pounds for each person in the entire
population of the country. Instead
of a faHlng off in the use of sugar,
therefore, there has been a somewhat
unusual increase thus fsr in the pres
ent year.
"It is not difficult to understand
why this has been the case. The
rule that a higher price means les
sened consumption is by no means
