EXPORT SUGAR BOUNTY.
France, Germany and Austris tc
Abolish It


New York, Dec. 3.-The news that
France, Germany and Austria have
reached tentative agreement for abol-
ishing the export bounty on sugar is at
tracing quite a little attention at the
moment in local sugar circles; and some
what diverse theories are current re-
garding the effect of such a change, II
made in refinerS supplies here. There
seems general agreement, however, that
a very important effect would be an Inn
mediate and large increase in the e2-
ports of American preserved fruits and
the great English and Scotch preserves.
The effect of the removal of the Eur
opean bounties would also, it is argued,
be to increase the consumption and re-
strict production of sugars in the con-
unental countries of production. and
thus remove that of all competition of
other sugars arriving here. Beet sugar
growing is carried on on such a close
margin that it is not profitable unless
the growers get a bounty. This decreases
competition. This in turn will encourage
the production of cane sugars and viii
thus benefit directly Cuba and Porto
Rico
I believe,' said one of the closest stu
dents Of the raw sugar supply, that
with the development of Cuba under the
sought by that island with this country,
Cuba, will in a few years be producing
sufficient cane sugar to completely shut
out the beet sugars of Europe. Cuba's
last crop viii amount to about 200 900
tons. This crop will run about 10000
tons, and the next crop will probably be
100000 to 1000, 900 tons"

Buffalo News: The locomotive works
throughout the United States are ex-
ceedingly busy. and this fact is an evil
dence Of the rising tide Of business ac-
tivity. American factories are running
full time and overtime. and they are
buying material and shipping freight;
our mines are sending out their pro-
ducts; our forests are being worked in
to lumber to supply the builders with
materials and the quarries. the vine
yards and the farms are all yielding
abundant material to meet the demands
OF an ever-increasing trade. All these
things have to be carried from one part
of the country to another, consequently
big orders for locomotives are pouring
into the various shops.
