Americas Sugar Consumption.

The value of sugar brought into
this country during 1905 will farssex-

"The value Of sugar imported dur

with November was s14s, SIS, 345 OF
which s51, 485, 256. was from. the non

sugar imports for 1905 will aggregate
considerably above $3.50, 100000 while

steadily and rapidly in its consump-
ton of sugar and 'importations have
doubled in the last twenty years, while
the population meantime increased but
so per cent. The United States is the
largest sugar consuming country in
the world. The average consumption
for each individual in 1904 was about
seventyyi55ffive 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 cane sugar produced in the
world. Cane sugar is forming at
present a larger proportion Of; the
worlds sugar supply than during
189O-1902. ~ Among the countries con-
tributing to the sugar consumption of
the United States for the fiscal year
1905 were Cuba 2,o57, 62O, $50 pounds;
