Spelling THEIR MARKET.
Germans Recognize the Menace to Their Sugar
Trade by Cuban Competition.

Washington, Nov. 4.-"The obvious
and sustained ffiendIiness Of the United
States government to Cuba, the impend-
ing increase of sugar production in
Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines,
added to the steady and rapid develop
ment of the beet sugar industry through
out large area of the United States, all
point to an inevitable and definite de-
cline in European sugar exports to our
country"
This statement appears in an interest
ing report from Consul General Mason
at Berlin, to the state department, dated
October IA, showing the damage which
the sugar production Of Cuba is dealing
to the sugar exporters of Europe.
1t IL generally recognized, says Mason,
that the beet sugar industry of Central
Europe is approaching critical juncture.
Germany, Austria. Hungary, France and
RUSSIA, 1t Is stated, are now gathering Q
beet crop which will yield an output Of
sugar far SURPRISING in quantity that OF
any previous year. Unfortunately for
Germany, the overwhelming production
comes at time when industrial depres.
sion and a short wheat and rye crop nave
seriously reduced the purchasing capacity
OF the poorer classes. A high commercial
authority, says MIR. Mason, estimates
the decline in sugar consumption in
Germany during the fiscal year at rs 600
tons.
"To complete and still further darken
the shadow" aoys the consul general.
Cuba has reappeared as vigorous and
threatening competitor to the United
States, which, during the past years.has
taken an average Of 2S3, 900 metric tons
OF German sugar, valued at 81, 6l4 600
per annum."
These conditions, it is stated. have sent
the price of sugar in the market at
Madgeburg down to the lowest point
reached during the critical year 1S94-96.
Great interest has been awakened in
Germany by the recent visit to Washing
ton OF Gov. Gen. Wood, of Cuba, "and
the conviction is growing that, notwith-
standing all doubts and suspicious, Cuba
is really about to begin the career of an
independent state under the generous
and sympathetic protection of the United
States and under conditions which will
favor the development of the sugar in.
dustry of the island to a point Beyond
the highest productiveness of former
years.
