Sugar Prices Fall as Liberal Selling Pressures Weaken Market
Sugar merchants in San Antonio quote granulated sugar at about 5.70 per hundredweight down from 6.50, a dime drop from yesterday and 25 cents lower than a week ago. The market shows a slow decline with many wholesalers unwilling to go below 6, but overall demand remains weak amid rains and cautious optimism for a future rebound. Farmers report strong store stocks and banks backing robust purchasing, while Dun and Bradstreet notes improved business conditions and lighter weekly failures. The cotton market’s steady rise to around 12 cents supports a positive sentiment.
