New Orleans Fails to Secure Blackstrap Rate Again
The Commerce Commission in Washington denied the Louisiana Sugar Planters Association request for a higher blackstrap rate. The Mobile rate was set at 21 cents but cut to 15 cents by Illinois and Ohio. Planters had sought 18 cents but were refused after three attempts, as the ruling noted the need to keep imports moving at lower rates to compete with domestic product.
