Phsr MONIH'. SUGAR IMPORTS.
Heavier Than of Any Previous Year
Money Value.

WASHINGTON. June 6.-Mr. WOrthlng-
ton c. Ford. chief OF the bureau OF sta
tlstlcs, gives out the imports Of sugar
FOR the month Of May, 1895. The total
quantity imported at the five ports Of
New York. Baltimore, Philadelphia, BOs-
ton. and San Francisco were $50 oeT,5&
pounds, valued az 81. .2Se,i3i. These figures
represent a very heavy import. While
the tariff act OF 1894 was before Congress
the lmportations were greatly stimulated
by the uncertainties Of the duy to be
levied on sugars the highest figures In
the history Of the country were touched.
In March. 1894. the imports were 69i ,3E, l25
pounds. and I'm July OF the same year
7o5, ,eei 57S pounds. If the monthly impor-
tatlons be examined as FAR back as Jan
uary. lss5, II would be seen that in no
single month prior TO March, 1894. had the
imports touched 5o9,@ooo0 pounds.
The returns OF May, 1925. are heavier
I'm quantity than the imports in May Of
any previous year, and should. there
fore. be accounted as breaking the record.
The values still rule very low. In June
1884, an Importation Of 52l $4,000 pounds
was valued at Si3E5,753.
The greater import OF May 1891, was
valued at only sl0,ss9, ,Bi, or nearly $780,
