Brewster of St. Louis said the operators were not ready to proceed with Monday’s hearing until they receive more information and can consult with their associates. Henry N. Robinson, John P. White, and Rembrandt Peale agreed to consider the operators’ inquiries after conferring.

Price Established For New Sugar Crop
New York January 13 The American Sugar Refining company announced a wholesale and manufacturing price of 4 1 2 cents a pound for granulated sugar refined from the new crop. The refining price fixed at 9 cents by the sugar equalization board allowed wholesalers a half cent profit and retailers one cent. Including middlemen a further one cent profit yields a consumer price of 17 1 2 cents. The company will decline all export business until U S sugar conditions ease and notes it supplied more sugar domestically in 1919 than in several years. Since the shortage began last September deliveries averaged 125 million pounds per month, mostly along the Pittsburgh Buffalo line.
