Sugar Prices Among The Most Stable In Food Markets
A Department of Agriculture report shows sugar prices have varied less than a cent a pound over the last five years. The average annual retail price was 10.47 cents for 1952–56, about 10.9 cents so far in 1957, with the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions recording the lowest levels due to proximity to beet sugar. The stabilizing factor is the sugar control program regulating marketings.
