Internntional >>«» Service. Washington, June 8.—Sugar's rapid jump in price which in a few months had cost the American people mil lions of dollars, was economically un justified and artificially promoted, ac cording to the interpretation of fig ures contained in the "survey of cur rent business" compiled by the De partment of Commerce and bureau of census, made public today. During the month of March, when sugar climbed 1 3 10c a pound, refin ers apparently were stocking up, stocks on hand having increased over 160,00(1 long tons that month. The sur vey disclosed that refiners had stocks of 124.164 long tons February 28 and 284,800 long tons March 31, compared to 273,811 long tons March 31, 1022. Cuban sugar magnates followed suit, the sugar "reserve" February 28 having totaled 460,009 long tons, and 633,692 long tons March 31, against 799,619 in March, 1922. Remained Low in 1922. The official figure shows the whole sale price of refined sugar on the New York market to have been JO.073 February 28, and JO.086 March 31, compared to $0,052 March 31, 1922. Prices remained low in 1922, although in no month did the stocks of refined sugar in refiners' hands exceed the March 31 reserve of this year.
