The statistics Of the worlds production
Of sugar show that there is steady and
large annual increase. The amount Of
cane sugar produced in the season Of
1850 was 2,oO5,OOo tons, an increase Of
7SS, 900 tons over that Of 1876, and l.
O7S,6S3 tons over that of 1896. Cuba
led the list with 10000 tons this season,
which was a falling of Of $1,000 tons
from the year before and OF, ,O5S tons less
Than in 1853. There was also a de-
crease in the product Of Java, the next
greatest source Of supply, Of 10000 tons
from the yield Of lsS4.5. But in the pro-
duction Of almost all other cane.grow.
ing countries there has bcen, rs shown
by the totals, a marked advance. The
yield Of beet-root sugar (2.Ol4.OOO tons
this season. has fallen off 5Ol,OOO tons
from tho last annual report, but cou,.
parison with the statistics Of 1855
shows a growth Of 7O9,6S9 tons in ten
years. -,t sa
TheSorcports do not recognize glucose
and grape sugar, or sorghum sugar or
maple sugar, and ore evidently made up
from the basis Of commercial statistics
concerning the sugar that has entered
the market. Beyond this there arc vast
quantities Of cane sugar produced for
domestic use in all tropical countries
and consumed by tho producers and
their immediate neighbirs, which do
not enter into the computation. The
most notable increase in any country is
in the beet.root sugar yield of Russia,
which has grown from 800 900 tons in
the season Of 1858 and $4,000 tons in
iSSi.5 up to 5sj, 900 tons in 1856,
