THE PRICE OF SUGAR.
CONFECTIONERY INDUSTRIES AFFECTED. (Received Nov. 27, 5.18 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 26. The large confectionery ami ,'ammuking firms complain that the Sugar Convention is causing high prices for sugar, and they demand its repeal. The West Indian Parliamentary Committee and others reply that the rise is the result of tho failure of the Continental beet crop, owing to drought. Mr Mathieson, a director of tho Clarke, Nickolls, and Coombs Company, confectionery manufacturers at Hackney, attributes the rise to a suddenly increased consumption abroad, and tilso to the fact that the convention has shut out half a million tons of Russian and otlier bounty-fed sugar. Czarmkow, a well-known broken, states that the exports of confectionery for the Inst ten months was 337,982cwt, compared with' 2(55,526 cwt in 1903.
