THE SUGAR TRADE OF EUROPE.
Production in Many Countries Great
~ Exceeding the Demand.

Hugo Donzelmann, the United States
Consul at Prague, Austria. in a counuu-
nication to the State Department con-
corning the sugar industry Of Europe.
says the production of sugar in the init
ed States is increasing gradually. and
that the syndicates who manipulate the
market in Europe believe that the time is
not very far of when this country will
produce all the sugar it needs They are
. therefore, he says. seeking other markets
and considering the possibility of q
greater consumption by the different na-
tons Statistics for the year 1900 show
that Russia consumed about 21Gg5 tons
more than in 1899; Germany, el.2f3 tons
more; France, $3.50 tons more; and Eng
land, $500 tons more; while Austrfa-Hun-
gary, it is claimed on account of the in
crease in the consumption tax. consumed
Z'-652 tons less in 1900 than IN 1899
The statistics further show that Spain,
Italy, and the Balkan States have not
only produced ali the sugar needed for
their home markets, but that they have
also begun To export to a small extent;
that Egypt. which up to a few years ago
used TO import annually $1,000 tons from
Austria, is now exporting large quantities
TO the United States and india, so that
the best outlets for sugar are those in
the Far East
The export Of sugar from Austrfa-Hun-
gary TO East India and Japan in 1893
showed an increase over the previous
ears; but Japan passed a law which
went into effect on April l of this wear

THE FIRE Loss DECREASING.
4 Report Made by the New YORK
Comm Toner.

NEW YORK. June John J Scan
nell. the Fire Commissioner. reporting on
the work OF his department for the year
1900, says that the third year of his ad-
miristration discloses the fact that while
the number Of fires IN the old city of New
York increased over that for 1899 (as was
the case in Brooklyn and Queens. the
amount of IRE loss decreased nearly
S1,G3,Go." and that there was an even
larger decrease in Brooklyn and Queens
There were 5,7I fires IN Manhattan,
Bronx. and Richmond in the extingufsh-
ing Of which 6o3l267 gallons of water
were used, nearly one-haIf Of which was
river water. The estimated losses are
tabuIated by the Fire Marshal as follows:
Manhattan-Loss, S5,7S5 &95; insurance.
1928, 49,, 791; uninsured loss. S1S7.2L.
Br0nx-Loss, S229. I91: insurance. S4SS4.-
100; uninsured loss, $13. SIS
Richmond-Loss, S4s5, 723; insured, 81, 49,
go; uninsured loss. 81, 0g5-
Brooklyn and Queens-Loss, g I21. 939;
insured, $19-1T2,e S5; uninsured loss, S241-616-
The loss was less than SO at more than
one-haIf Of all the fires. For the old city
with Richmond added, the total loss was
81, p07, 432 less than in 1899.
Mr. Seery. the Fire Marshal, reports
that especial attention has been given to
teuements, tailor shops and bakeries. as
well as to churches and schools. and that
conditions greatly jcopardiziHg life and
property have been eliminated He again
crIticfses the insurance companies. saying
that it appears that little discrimination
IS used in issuing policies. 50 far as reck-
oning in the moral hazard is concerned.
The abnormal losses by fire." he adds,
are, In my opinion, caused by the pro
miscuous issuance of policies; some of
the adjustments are also too hastily con-
summated-"
The most serious fire Of the year was
that at Greenwich and Warren Streets, on
October %, when ten buildings were de
strOyed by the explosions in the Tarrant
Building. With that is placed the disas-
trous conaagration on the North German
Lloyd piers at Hoboken. but that is re-
ported only because7the city firemen aided

in their night clothes from their burning
home at No. 1924 North Nineteenth street

nearly sunocated with smoke.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from a CRATE. from which a live coal NAV
have rolled onto the carpet The officers
noticed smoke pouring from q crack in a
window and burst in the door. The rush Of
air seemed to cause an explosion, which for
moment threw the policemen backward
and filed the room with flame. When the
officers rushed in they dragged the woman
and children from their bed. The Youngest
child was unconscious when taken ont Of
the house. The house was damaged $50 and
