Gray's estimate OF the requirements

ing surplus Of, say, 100000 tons.
1T Is 20 be noted that the figures u
consumption, by reason OF certain UNI
known invisible stocks, rarely snow a
steady increase year by year as the
actual facts would show, II Obtainahle
The figures rather show increases
! by jumps in periods OF two or more
years. For instance the years 1S95-9G
and lS9G-97 were nearly alike in fig
ures and averaged 7.i7903l tons The
years 1898 and 1889 were again
alike in figures and averaged 1866 937
tons. but show a jump OF iSG 800 tons
over the two first years. Very good
reasons exist for another similar jump
In the figures Of consumption for the
two following years and hence We IN
clude such in our estimate OF thei;
consumption.
If We are conservative 10 our est
mates and the year 1S9g-19OO requires
for consumption with average increase
say $3.50 900 tons, then with a.suppiy
at It's beginning Of 100000 tons, the
production OF that campaign should
reach. and promises to reach at Least
| 100000 tons, or an increase OF say
100000 tons over 1923. The cane
sugar crops Of the world have been
steadily held at about 100000 tons
for the past four campaigns, while the
beet crops were subject TO large varia.
lions from 4,2S5.43S tons to 4.9lG.iSC
tons, but have never yet reached Tho
height OF the requirements for 1890
1900, say possible 100000 tons. fDl
we question the ability OF cane sugal
countries TO produce much in eXce7s o,
their standard. 100000 tons In 1899
| 1900. The largest beet nrpD aVpr nrn.
lduCed was 4.9l6.496 tons and the la~g,
est cane crop 3.531.413 tons. Of which
Cuba made 100000 tors. This com.

TO us that sugar has started on an i'm.
