LOTS OF SUGAR
Nearly a Million and a Half Worth in 1905 Exceeds That of
 Any Former Year.

Washington. Jan 1.-The value of sugar brought into this country during 1905 will far exceed that of any ear Her year. according to a bulletin is sued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. The bulletin says:
 The value of sugar imported dur ing the eleven months of 1905 ended with November was S1iS.575.3i5. of which Sj1. .4S5.256 was from the non contiguous territory of the United States. The estimate is that the total sugar imports for 19G5 will aggregate considerably above SlJOG00.OOO. while the highest figure in any fiscal year prior to 1905 was S127. .OO.0D0 in 1891. when an unusually large quantity was imported in anticipation of q change in the tariff.
 The United States is increasing steadily and rapidly in it's consump- tion of sugar and importations have doubled in the last twenty years, while the population meantime in creased about J0 per cent. The Unit ed States is the largest sugar consum- ing country in the world. The aver age consumption for each individual in 1904 was about a pounds. The United States consumes about one fourth of the sugar production of the world. Nearly all the sugar brought into this country is produced from cane and the United States consumes fully one-half of the cane sugar pro- dueed in the world. Cane sugar is forming at present a larger propor- tion of the worlds sugar supply than during 1S90-IS92.
 Among the countries contributing to the sugar consumption of the Unit ed States for the fiscal year 1905 were Cuba. 2.05I. .69O.s39 pounds: Java. S99.- 394.5I5 pounds: Hawaii. S32.121.3 .3s1 pounds: Porto Rico. 211,319.993: Ger many tprineipally beet sugar.. 205.- Gs4. .302 pounds: West Indies. other than Cuba. s02. 2.639.s53 pounds: South America. 16s.551.52s pounds: Philip pine Islands. 1139I.i24 pounds.
