IS SAFE FOR TWO YEARS
wILLETT & GRAY SAY SUGAR
REMAINS HIGH.
This Opinion of Great Interest to Local
Holders of Plantation Stock-Will
Allay Past Fears.

This combination of facts and fig
ures indicates to us that sugar has
started on an improvement course for
the next two campaigns"
That is closing remark in Willett
& Grays latest sugar letter. 1t means
that the big New York authorities be-
lieve sugar will remain at high figures
for the next two years. The conclu-
sion is reached after an exhaustive
comparison of the supply and demand
of the future with the past. In these
figures the probable effect of the OPP
enng of Cuba and the Philippines and
the increased output of the Hawaiian
Islands is reckoned upon. In their last
paragraph they sum up as follows:
"If we are conservative in our esti-
mates and the year 1S99-1900 requires
for consumption with average Increase,
say S,405 900 tons, then with a supply
at its beginning of 100000 tons, the
production of that campaign should
reach, and promises to reach, at least
S,500000 tons, or an increase of say
| $50. 900 tons over 1S97-1S9S. The cane SUI
gar 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 va
riations from 4,2S5,4 3S tons to 4,916, 4S6
tons but have never yet reached the
| height of the requirements for 1899
| 1900 say possible 100000 tons. for
we question the ability of cane sugar
countries to produce much in excess OF
their standard 100000 tons, in 1899
1900 The largest beet crop ever pro-
| duced was 4,916, 496 tons and the largest
cane crop 1851, 431 tons, of which Cuba
made 100000 tons. This combination
of facts and figures indicates to us
| that sugar has started on an improve
ment course for the next two cam
paigns."
! The assurance. or opinion, that the
| high prices of sugar will continue TO
prevail during the next two years
will have the effect of increasing faith
locally in plantation stocks. 1t will
lend an air of security to what has
