SUGAR
NOTES.
Sugars
in
Paris
continue
secarce;
in
fact,
exchanges
state
that just
now
the
supplies
are
as
low
as
they
have
ever
been during
the war.
The
Chamber
of
Deputies
took
the
matter
up
on
June
sth becas~e
there
was
much
grumbling
on
the part
of a
large number
of
peo-
ple.
Even
during
the
war
the
people
were able
to obtain
a
small
amount
and
pecple
seemed
to be
satisfied
then
but
with
the after-war
adjustmen:
matters
have
bezn
let
up
somewhat
and
there
is
not
tae
same
authority
to
marshall
about
the
necessary
supplies
and
some
sections
nave fallen short
of their needs.
On June
3rd,
for example,
there
were
only
6,434
bags
on
hand
in
the
Paris
dis:rict
while
the
same
date
last
year
there
were
68,623,
bags
on
hand.
It
was
pointed
out
that
the
Food
Supply
Bouard
had 28,000
tons
of
sugar
in
Re-
union
and
shipped
40,000
tons of tapioca
from there,
bnt did not
touch
the sugar
and
thus
the
diserimination
made
bad
fee ings.
The
Reunion
sugar,
it
was
pointed
out,
was
held
back
to
sell
at
72
franes
in
order
that
the
producers
cou'd get —rid of
their sugar
at
home
at
48
to
54
francs
and
the
middle-man
came
in naturally for a big rub.—Lowuisi-
ana
Planter,
Sept.
6th.
“‘All bail to Spain,’”’ so
say
the
con-
sumers.
She
put
the
price
of
bees
down
from
65
fran~s
per
ton
tc
60
fracs
per
ton.
The
farmers
are
satis-
ied for
they
are
confidently
expecting
that
all
farm
produce
is
going
to
be
lowered.
The
Juestion
is being
asked
here if the high
price of things
is
not
somewhat
psychologicai
like
a
crime
wave
that subsides
after it
has
run
its
course. —lbid.
:
A little news
has
filtered through
the
regular
channels
concerning
the Polish
sugar
industry+ With
a
political
up-
heaval and
the Poles endeavoring
to
get
on
their political feet
they are having
a
hard
time ‘walking in
industrial
paths.
The
government
has
taken
matters
in
hand
and
if we rightly
interpret
the
situation
it has guaranteed
a very
high
price
for beets
or
demanded
that
sugar
makers
pay
that.
The
latter
with
all
sorts
of
labor
problems
infeected
by
Bolshevism
are
having
a very
unhapp
time and refuse
to
make contracts
under
such conditions
and with other conditions
e
affecting
material,
things
do
not
look
hopeful
atall. —lbud.
Recently
the
idea of having
a
sugar
refinery
established
in
Moss,
Norway,
was
aired,
but
the
atmosphere
was
rather frosty.
The
men interesied
were
ready
to
advance
10,000,000 kronen
but
asked
the
government
to
give
them
some
assistance
by putting
cn duties
on
by-products
and
asked
them
to
lower
duties
on
raw
sugar.
Public
opinion,
however,
seemed
to
win the day
which
advanced
the idea that this would simply
increase
the cost
of the 'sugar
and:ad-
vancing
high
prices
seemed
to
squelch
the
ambitions
of
the
sturdy
people
located
on
the
fjoirds
of
this
northern
countiry.—lbid.

Owing
to
the
extreme
drought
and
the substitution
of other
crops
for beets,
the
Italians
are
expecting
only
65,000
tons of sugar
this season.—lbid.
Optimistic reports
come
from
the New
York Stock Exchange
relative
to the beet
sugar
companies
and
one
concern
has
de
clared
the
regular
annual
dividend.
*
From
the
west,
however,
the
news
is not
quite
so
hopeful
and
some
of
the
com-
panies
expect
that
the dividends
will be
lowered
this
year.
The American
Beet
Sugar
Company
iS
eeported
as
being
about ready
to enter
the
potash
field and
will deveiop this
much
needed
industry
in America.— Ibid.

The
Amalgamated
Sugar
Company
is
issuing
$5,000,000
in
bonds
to retire
83
750,000 nutstanding
bond and also
to pro-
vide for additional
working capital.
Mr.
Havemeyer,
it seems,
has had
a
hand
in
the matter
of these negotiations. —Jlbid.
The
former
Austrian-Hungarian
em-
pire
had
209
sugar
factories
of
which
seventeen
wer- closed
at the time
of the
opening
of the
war,
129
were
makine
raw
sugar
and
63
the
finished produect.
Bohemia
had the largest
number
of raw
sugar
factories,
namely
92.
With
the
new
political
line
up
Czecho-Slovakia
will have
the
largest
number
which
means
that
Bohemia
and
Moravia
will
have at
least
155 and frcm
present
indi-
cations
there is
going
to be
a
rejuvena-
tion of these peoples
that they
have
not
seen
in two hundred
years.—
