Department of justice agents in the meantime are beginning a vigorous campaign against sugar profiteers among the wholesalers and retailers of the larger cities. s Nineteen retailers have been arrested in Philadelphia for making undue pipfits on the article, six wholesale and four retail dealers are under arcast in New Orleans, and one wholesaler and two retailers are in custody in NewYork city. Some of these men are alleged to have sdld sugar for cents a pound for which. they paid 14 aents. Sugar prices have been rising steadily since last autumn until today it is difficult to get the article for less than 26 cents a pound. It is freely predicted that it reach the 80-cent mark by the time-the canning season opens, and there are some who even declare that sugar will be selling for 50 cents a pound before the end of the year.
