SUGAR INDUSTRY ~ EUROPE.

In the beginning OF the year 1900.
there was a general fear on the part
Of the sugar leaders in Austria-Hun-
gary Of an overproduction. but this
proved unfounded on account Of an
unexpected failure Of the crop in near
~ ali the colonies. The sugar trade
IL generally able to estimate very
closely the amount OF raw sugar pro-
dGced in Europe. bat the colonies are
an uncertain quantity. and nearly ev-
cry year furnishes a surprise. The gen.
eral calculations OF the trade have
been that the sugar crop in the colo
mics would increase from year 20 year;
but in the place of this increase. there
has been yearly decrease. II is said
that the United States imported in
1900 only l.55s.26e tons Of sugar.
against 2.2ls.S47 tons in 1893. al
though the consumption OF sugar in
the United states rose from 2.07s.0es
tons in 1889 to 2.21e.s47 tons in 1900;
and the whole stock at the end OF
last year amounted to only So. 700 tons
as against 2oS.s72 tons in the previous
year This shows that cur production
OF sugar is increasing gradually. and
indeed the syndicates who manipulate
the market tn Europe believe that tae
time is not very far on when the Unit
ed States win produce all the sugar
II needs. and they are seeking other
markets and considering the possibili-
ty of greater consumption of sugar
W the different nations. Statistics
for the year 1900 shows that Russia
consumed about 20 900 tons more than
in 1893: Germany. s1.z43 tons more;
France. s.250 tons more: and Eng
land. as. 100 tons more: while Austria-
Hungary. Il is claimed on account OF
the increase In the consumption tax.
consumed 276s2 tons less in 1900 than
in 1899.
The statistics further show that
Spain. Italy. and the Balkan States
have not only produced all the sugar
needed for their home markets. but
that they have also begun to export
20 a small extent; that Egypt. which
up to a Few years ago used to import
annually $4,000 tons from Austria. Is
now exporting large quantities to the
United States and India. so that the
aest outlets for sugar are those In the
Far East.
The export Of sugar from Austria
Hungary 10 East India and Japan In
1900 showed an increase over the pre-
vioas years: but japan passed law.
Which went into effect on April ] OF
this year. providing for consumption
tax. which viii reduce the demand for
sugar and eventually lead TO the es-
tablishment Of sugar refneries there.
The only consolation. It appears,
that Austrian dealers in sugar have is
that there Is no prospect OF abonshing
the export premiums paid by Germany.
Austria and France. Austria Is OPP
posed 20 the abolition Of this tax. be-
cause France Is its main competitor.
especially In refined sugar in England.

Symonds. the black face comedian
had new bunch of jokes, plentifully
besprinkled with localisms for the
military audience last night and was
received with appreciative applause
which seemed to surprise the artist.
Symonds' jokes seem usually to be
somewhat deep for his audiences but
he made good last night. Berger's
band gave concert before and during
the performance and the Flying Jor-
dams had particularly good act with
Nellie Jordan in the character of a
hand ball. Everybody seemed well
pleased with the programme and the
boys in blue must have netted neat
little sum for the regimental fund.
Tonight's performance is under the
patronage Of several of the more pro-
minent Japanese merchants of the
town and the performance is being
given at the request of a number OF
local Japanese who have been espe-
cially interested in the feats Of the
Flying Jordans and Seabury's high
dive since the opening of the show.
The wire walking act and the FIRE
dances have delighted the oriental
visitors to the big tent and there is
sure to be large and interested au-
dience of Japanese present tonight.
