SuGAR The total consumption of
sugar in this country last year was 527,'
600 tons, Of which only 45,000 tons
was of production. Eighty five per
cent. was from Cuba, and as the
troubles there will largely diminish
the supply for the present year, and
tho deficiency cannot be supplied at
home, it is assumed that prices will be
largely advanced.
