Sugar price swings reveal poor Cuban sugar flood
Investigations by the Waterloo Retail Merchants association expose that cheap advertised sugar in Cedar Rapids was low grade Cuban granulated sugar sold at about 14 to 15 cents per pound at wholesale, with retailers facing fluctuating prices between 14 and 19 cents as beet supply dries up and cane sugar enters the market. The bad sugar melted in barrels and was mostly returned to wholesalers, who seek good grade sugar to sell at 14 to 15 cents retail.
