PRICES OF SUGAR IN PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES 



Dr. H. C. Prinsen Geerligs compiled for the Indische Mercuur, of Amsterdam, a 

 list of wholesale prices of sugar as quoted in the principal producing and consuming 

 countries on October 1, 1918. The list is reprinted below, with equivalent prices in 

 United States currency per 100 pounds. The prices include excise taxes and other 

 imposts. It seems, however, that in the case of Poland all imposts have not been 

 included, as the retail prices of sugar in that country on the same date was 2.80 

 marks per kilo, or 30.23 cents per pound. 



The foreign prices have been converted at the par value of the foreign moneys, 

 no regard being paid to exchange. In the case of several countries the influence of 

 currency inflation is strikingly noticeable.
