Wholesaler Links War Prices to Supply and Demand
A prominent wholesaler argues that the wartime rise in staples like sugar flour coffee and beans follows the law of supply and demand. He notes sugar at 2.25 for 25 pounds versus 1.25 weeks ago and says prices will rise next week. He cites Europe’s sugar hunger and German French and Russian losses, predicts flour will stay high as America fills the gap, and says hoarding is not occurring while recalling Civil War sugar at 27 cents per pound as a historical parallel.
