BRITISH EMBARGO
ON SUGAR WILL BE
SHORT, BELIEF HERE
Local Exporters Think Un-
filled Orders Are Not Un-
der Ban-Half of Big Or
der Delivered.

Sugar exporters in this city believe that
the embargo placed on the importation
of sugar into the United Kingdom, de-
clared by the British Government. will
be of short duration, and in any case 1t
will not affect the untitled orders now
held In this country. They are also of
the opinion that the prohibition Is di-
rected chiefly against Italy, Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark and Spain. These coun-
tries are heavy buyers of the raw beet
sugar production of Germany, and it Is
this production Great Britain Is anxious
to keep out of the worlds mart.
About 100000 tons of raw and refined
sugar had been ordered by English i'm
porters from this country before the
declaration forbidding entry of sugar was
promulgated. Nearly half of this order
has been delivered, and exporters are
continuing their plans for the delivery of
the remainder confident that 1t will be
accepted, regardless of the prohibition
order.
AT the outbreak of the war the German
Government placed n ban on the exporta-
ton of sugar. Now money Is needed and
there is more than enough sugar in Prus-
sia to satisfy the demands. Permission
has been granted for the expectation OF
$1,000 hundredweight When the English
Government learned this the embargo on
importations followed
Although the Spreckles Sugar Refinery
has enormous quantities of raw sugar
stored in this city, their plant at Reed
street wharf is closed down. The clos
ing of the plant was due to the large
quantities of the refined product on hand,
which made 1t unnecessary to boil more
Of the raw product until sales increased.
Refined sugar exports are leaving this
port on every transatlantic steamship.
The American Line steamship Haverford,
which sailed for Liverpool on Saturday,
had several tons stored in her holds.
The bookings on vessels to leave in the
near future are heavy.
