Sugar Price Rises as Senate Critics Demand Deliveries
In a Monday Senate speech Everett Dirksen of Illinois and others blamed higher sugar prices on limited foreign deliveries and weather. They urged using leverage to force immediate shipments while Cuba’s crop and European beet conditions also influence costs. Senator McCarthy tied the rise to a plus sugar act passed last July which shifted quotas and boosted domestic producer shares. The Agriculture Department has moved to speed deliveries to curb hoarding and stabilize supply.
