SUPPLY OF SUGAR
CAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE. There has been something of a scats and some little inconvenience in certain centres in New Zealand about supplies of sugar. The fact is that the agreement under which sugar is supplied, to New Zealand, a certain amount of it at a fixed price, by the Colonial Sugar Company, was made between tho company and the Food Commission. This agreement expires at the end of this month. The shortage at present, it is believed, is more apparent than Teal, caused by traders and consumers bringing up stocks in advance of normal requirements. This they have done in anticipation of' a considerable rise in price at the expiry of the agreement. Sugar is now £5 per ton cheaper in New Zealand than in Australia.
