This small unsoid supply is being.
further reduced daily, so that Tor new
supplies our refners will soon be de-
pendent on new crop deliveries.
Rehnefs are sufficiently well sup
piled BY their purchases, except IN IN,
stances perhaps, to avoid further re-
ceipts Of Cubas from the U. K. this

We call attention to an article tex
tracts herewith by Mr.. Prinsen Geer-l
ligs. the leading Java expert. taken
from the international Sugar Journal
London, In which he raises his former
estimate Of the cost Of producing Gem
trifugals In Java from 1.64c. per ID,
70 1.S0c per ID. fob. which cares
ponds closely to the average cost In
CHba. Cuba however is n position
to reduce costs by Increasing produc-
ton indefinitely provided sufficient
labor is obtainable, while the .increase
in Jayas cost Is said to be permanent.
