Cane, 96 degrees test, shows a

because of the advance in Cuba and

The Cuba crop news, which is the
controlling factor of the situation, is
rather favorable for price improve
ment, although another factor In this
direction is the firnler attitude Of
refiners In regard to sales of their
production and the good support Civ
en- by the country in more satisfac.
tory orders for refined.
The Tuesday weekly cable from
Cuba gave a reduction in Centrals
working from 144 the previous week
to1123, and this number Is further re-
duced by our today's cable to 112
Centrals working.
Our today's cable message is import
ant as giving the first information
that the rainy season has now COM
menced In the western provinces Of
Cuba, which corresponds nearly with
the rainy weather of last year.
TIE island receipts thus far indicate
q full crop, about as estimated.
The exports from Cuba Of the pres
ent crop to May 1, as given herewith,
exceed the exports to same time last
year by 122,558 tons. and include 232,-
04I tons to countries other than the
United States. against such exports
to same time last year of 1862 tons.
These larger exports strengthen the
conditions of the Cuban planters in
the sale of their remaining produc
tons.
1t is. worthy Of note that after May
I, 1913, the outside exports were 257,-
942 tons on basis of cost below the
present which may lead to smaller
exports after this time this year I'M
less European markets make suffi-
cient advances in cane sugar quota
tons to warrant imports on rising
basis.
This foreign demand versus the
United States demand is an important
feature to watch ais the Cuba crop
season draws near to its close.
!, There have been sales Of Cubas to
the United Kingdom this week at
2.09c per h.. e o. b. Cuba and the
exports. as reported by Mr. Himley !
10000 tons.
