LOuISIAN SUGAR CROP

ooo,ooo and $15,ooo,ooo.

New Orleans-Unless an early
freeze or devastating September
storm occurs, Louisiana will be en-
rlched to the extent of something be-
tween $12,000,000 and SIS, 900, 900 more
this year on her sugar crop than last
year. This was the opinion expressed
by Earle Knobloch of the firm of

is short from 80 to 40 per cent, due
to the drouth that prevailed, prin-
cipally in Germany and France. Rus

Russia releasing 100000 tons by re-
