Whereas the average annual value of
Cuba s sugar crop for some years past
has been StB5,0OO.0OO, the first year
of the war in Europe raised this
figure to $204. 000, 900, and this year
it will probably exceed $275,O00,OO0,

ConfiScatory War Prices

as result OF the enquiry of the
board Of trade of New Zealand, the
wholesale price of sugar in this Domin.
ion has been fixed for the twelve
months beginning July !, 1916, at not
more than 5000 per ton of 224O
pounds, and this in face of the fact that
fTeights have quite materially adVanc-
ed, that war tax of one per cent has
been imposed upon sugar, and that an
export tax Of $l.21 per ton on sugar
shipped from the Fiji Islands (Which is
the source of practically all of the
sugar consumed in New Zcaland), has
affected the cost. 1t is claimed that
this is as cheap as sugar is sold any.
where else in the world at this time
II is retailed at $0.055 per pound for
granulated and 1907 for cube or7oaf
sugar.
The annual consumption Of sugar in
New Zealan6 amounts to. about 10000
tons, or about ll2 pounds per capita
The only duty collected on sugar com
