A number Of countries are OF
the opinion that there are too
many international exhibitions,
and efforts are being made to
have the different governments
make agreements to allow a GER
tain number Of years to elapse be-
tween such exhibitions. A con-
ference was recently held in Ber-
lin behind closed doors al which
official representatives of Japan,
Russia and the chief European
countries were represented, and
an agreement was signed, which,
il is understood, recommends the
limitation Of universal exhibitions
held under government auspices,
and gives the minimum time which
it is felt should elapse between
them. Before the decision of the
conference the Belgian Govern
ment, which is to hold an exhibi.
ton at Client next year, had I'M
dertakgn not to promote another
exhibition for ten years.Pic.

ably free from the usual impure
ties and they work easily. The
yield, per ton is not reported, but
everyone seems to be Satisfied on
that point. The yield of cane
per acre is not very encouraging
Many are not obtaining much over
ten tons, which, at $3.50 per ton,
Il not very reassuring. But this
price il not general, only the
most liberal buyers are paying
thix price. Some factories are
paying on 4 basis Of IS. per cent,
While Others are giving $1.O0 per
cent of price Of Y. G. sugar. That
