there Is a rise of one cent bushel
in wheat there is n rise OF Ave cents
a barrel In -four.
The price OF sugar has likewise
risen. Last week sugar sold for $3.50
per hundred pounds: to day 1t Ia $3.50.
As nearly half OF the worlds supply
Of sugar comes from Germany. Aus
tria. France and Russia. and as the
harvest time for the crop begins next
month, there IL every likelihood that
only a fraction of the crop can be
harvested by the men left behind
while the war 10 on. This will throw
the burden Of production on Cuba.
Coffee In now two cents pound
higher than II was last week. There
has been a cessation Of importation
from Brazil owing to the fact that
practically all the coffee In carried In
English and German ships. and these
cannot now venture into the trade.
Also the increase Is accounted for by
the decentralization Of foreign ex-
change. the Brazil coffee bills being
paid mainly abroad.
Provisions imported from Europe
show advances. Lentil. which used to
cost three cents a pound. Is now nine
cents. All Of the imported nuts are
higher. most OF them 10 per cent. and
not few OF them 100 per cent. The
expectation OF provisions from the
countries at war has in many in
stances been prohibited by Govern
ment order.
Lemons are 81 a box higher than
