oSTEND. Oct. 7-(Delayed. )-(Special
Csblegram 20 New York World and
Omaha Be-. )-Last night the temporary
seat of government was removed from
Antwerp to Ostend.
II was not finally decided to take this
step till yesterday morning. though it
had been under consideration three days.
All was quiet last night in Antwerp and
there Is no panic, but thousands are
leaving the city. ostend is crowded with
well-to-do fugitives.
Before leaving Antwerp. from what I
witnessed, It was apparent the siege OF
the city was developing into q second
battle OF the Rivers. II ragged Monday
from Termonde to Lierre along the banks
Of the scheldt, Ripple and Nethe. which
the Belgian army was defending against
odds with stubborn determination.
,.. Main Attack ON LiePre.
The main attack was being launched
against Lierre. the enemy having appar-
entity determined to, cross the Nethe at
this point, but vigorous pressure also was
being applied along the Termonde-
Malines road in the neighborhood OF
stamand. with the object OF forcing the
Belgian field army beyond what can best
be described as the elbow of the scheldt
e ( spent some time on fortified plain
before the city. where the field artillery
again had been distinguishing itself. The
struggle was one between two field
armies, the Belgians having the benefit
OF fighting under their excellent fortress
guns. It cannot be too clearly under
stood that there was a vital difference
between the defenses OF Antwerp and
those Of either Liege or Namur.
While forty-two-centimeter howitzers
may dispose of Brialmont ring Of fort
Fesses. 1t by no means follows they will
be equally successful against the wide
spread network OF floods, mines and wire
entang4ements intersected by water
courses such as I passed through this
Afternoon.
While I was in the western area of
operations a brief but vigorous attempt
was made by the enemy TO storm q short
length OF Belgian trenches and q hail Of
rifle fire swept over the field two miles
to the south Of my position. The attack
was repulsed and our field guns immodi-
ateiy countered with a vigorous lombard
ment by shrapnel
Peace .PIetxre OutdOne.
The response was weak, the enemy
obviously being without sufficient arttl-
Iery at this point. and 1t died down COM
pletely when the heavier guns in the
forts fired a few shots.
During the exchange IL was curious TO
note the apathy Of the peasants, who
were still living and carrying on every
day work In large numbers. Among the
forts and batteries children played as
ever. women kept their cottages spick and
span and men worked quietly on their
little. holdings. when not called upon TO
dig trenches for the military. The famous
picture OF peace and war was out-done
before Antwerp every day.

ANNUAL SUGAR REVIEW AND.
timely CROP news IS GIVEN
EeH&

This reduction is directly account
able for the unsual Increase Of con-
sumption, independent of increase OF
population, which increase is 6.S19 per
cent over the year 1912 against an
average of 4.676 per cent for 30 years
and 1897 per cent larger increase than
the average of the 10 years of Cuban
reciprocity.
The reduced cost of raw sugar for
refining was directly due to the large
increase of crops of free and prefer
entail sugars, which crops were more
than sufficient to supply the United
States requirements without import
ing non-preferential sugars at the
higher rates of duty. This year is
the first in which this condition has
existed. In every year heretofore a
certain amount Of such full-duty-pay
ing sugar has been required for use,
which has raised the average cost Of
raws each year. We have maintained
for years that the way to lower the
cost OF sugar to the consumer was tC
increase our local free and preferen
tial crops by a moderate protective
duty. The year 1913 sees our fore.
cast fulfilled to the letter.
This feature of the year is really
the most important to which we can
call attention, except one other which
concerns the competition during the
ear among the cane refiners, as
shown by the decrease of production

dependents increase from $500 per
cent to 1884 per cent The domestic
beet factories increased from 1901
per cent to 100 per cent, and carried
over into 1914 a slightly larger amount
of crop production than last year.
All raw sugars in 1913 were sold

casts. that with local production Of
100000 to 100000 tons above the L.

worlds market at Hamburg
In our last issue we covered the
matter of market quotations for 1913
We have ONLY to add that all crop con
ditions for 1914 promise sufficient pro
duction to supply the I. S. with al
requirements without calling on Eu
rope for any. and hence that prices
will continue to 6e made on the basis
Of Cuban values in New York for raw

rot sufficient to interfere seriously
with harvesting and hauling and all
beets were practically out of the
sround before the end Of November.
The sowing of winter grain was also
completed by that time and the warm
rains have given it good start. How
ever, a heavy snow cover is now de-
sired to protect it from frosts and al
so to entirely remove the dryness of
the subsoil, which has existed since
1911. The actual beet yield Is now
figured at. 311a tons per hectare,
against 301a and Is tons in the two
preceding years. The beets, especial

WiHett & Gray Comment or
Interesting Developments
49,. of Last Year

Willett e Gray's Sugar Trade Jour
nat for January s contains the annual
crop review. especially interesting this
year, as we'll as timely news of the
sugar industry. The Journal says:
The figures show the consumption
of sugar s,743, 139 tons, an increase
of 238,957 tons from 1912, or ,6.819
per cent, against an increase of 1872
f791 tons or 1859 per cent for 1912,
against 4.076 per cent average year
ly increase for 80 years.
+ The total consumption of sugar upon
which full duty was paid was 1883
tons, and of sugar on which con-
cession of duty was allowed was q
STA, 109 tons; consumption of domestic
production S52,472 tons.
Cuba contributed 1.990,SS1 tons, Ha-
waiian islands 506.555 tons, Porto Rico
331, 103 tons, Philippine islands 44,620
tons. domestiee cane 207,7OS tons, do
mestice beet 625,314 tons. Maple sugar
5000 tons and molasses sugar 10,450
tons. The corresponding supplies from
these countries for 1912 and 1911 will
be found tabuIated herewith
The total consumption of refined
sugar in 1913 was 3,67S,144 tons. of
which the American Sugar Refining
Company manufactured 1888. 90S tons,
or 1927 per cent, against 38.48 per
cent in 1912 and 4212 per cent in
1911.
The Independent refiners manufac-
tured 1,f04.595 tons, or 1884 per cent,
against 1.5S6,120 tons or 1900 per
cent In 1912.
Domestic beet sugar factories con.
tributed 625,S14 tons refined. or 100
per cent, against 1901 per cent in
1912 and 1881 per cent in 1911.
The. Hawaiian cane factories con.
tributed 1896 tons refined, or O.37
per cent, against G,37 per cent in
1912 and 0.H per cent in 1911.
Foreign reiners supplied S31 tons
or cog per cent, against COS per cent
in 1912 and COS per cent in 1911.
The average difference between
raw and refined sugar in 1913 was
0.772c per pound, against O.S79c per
pound in 1912 and 0.S92c per pound
in 1911.
An analysis of the above statement
is interesting as showing the influ,
ence of low prices for raw sugar and
greatly increased competition among
refners, thereby reducing the differ
ence between raw and refined to O.772c
per pound against an average differ,
ence Of 0.S61c per pound for ten pre-.
ceding years, thus giving consumers
their refined susar in 19I" At ".IN7r
