Michigan Gains by the Worlds Loss

Householders who had been hopin g
that the recent advance in the price of
sugar was to be temporary and that the
cost of this indispensable commodity
would return to former levels after the
canning season are receiving little en-,
couragement as the official estimates
of the worlds crops come out. The
Daily Consular and Trade Reports from
Washington is printing number OF
communications from our commercial
representatives abroad, and they gener.
ally confirm the prediction of "a scarcity
in the supply this season.
Willett IL Gray, the recognized au.
thority in America on the sugar mar.
ket, estimate the total cane sugar crop
of the world at about 400, 900 tons above
last years yield, and the American beet
sugar product at about rs. 600 tons above
that for 1910 IL, but forecast a falling
off in the European beet sugar total
that will much more than offset this
combined increase. The firm predicts
grand total yield for 1912, from
cane and beet, of Is, 304, 900 tons against
16, $40, 900 tons last year, or reduction
of some 10 per cent bringing the avail
able supply this winter to about the
same point as two years ago when the
crops were insufficient to meet the de.

mand and the shortage ate into tho
worlds reserves and was made up only
by the surplus of the following yest-
This surplus would now act as conr-
pensating balance and keep prices down
if it had not been applied to making jts
making good the deficit of 1903, but
without its availability the relative
failure seems certain to cause an ili~
crease in prices, or at the best 20 pre-
vent the expected reduction. F B.
Ii is rather cheering to find bright
spot in the gloomy prospect, and Mich
igan, of all the country, can face tRS
immediate future with complacence.
Our state will materially enlarge it's
product of beet sugar in 1911. Three
years ago it took third rank in the
United States, Colorado and California
passing it in tonnage, and last yesr
it was second, Colorado dropping below
it. The estimates now made bring us
into neck-and neck race with Caller.
MIA for the leadership. Michigan will
apparently produce $4,000 tons OF
sugar for the season, gain of some
1s, 900 tons and promise of enhaace&
benefits to the farmers and to the state
generally that mean substantial gatu
in year of high prices. The result
indicates the alertness of the states
farming community, for it is directly
due to the added beet acreage, which
has been increased to 134, 900 from Il2,.
900 in the last twelve months. If this
addition in area should be accom- panied
by gain in the sugar content of the
beets, as has been noticeable for s0tab
years, there can hardly be a Question
that Michigan will step ahead of all hef
rivals in the table of precedence when
it is m ade up for the year.-Detrois
