According to a special cable receIv.
| ed by US from MessrS. Guma-Mejer;
the final outturn of the 1856 Cuba
crop was 3,o07,9l5 tons. against 2.592,.
667 tons for preceding crop. On O:t0-
| Der p. 1915, We estimated this crop
at 1900. 600 tons. and which, estimate
We maintained throughout unchaEge
The final result, so close to our Jes-
innate, proves the excellence OF o'ir
sources of information. This is the
second Cuba crop that we have nsIl-
mated almost exactly. On October y,
1914, we stated that indications point
ed TO n Cuba crop for l914-l5 of 2,6e0,-
600 tons, and which estimate we also
maintained throughout the season un-
changed, and the final result Of the
1914-l5 crop was 2,552,G6 tons, or
only 1888 tons less than our estimate.
ReceiDts for the week are 833 tons,
against l755 tons last year, when one
central still continued work. Total eX-
ports for the week are 3S,1S7 tons,
which is moderate considering the
amount of sales cOnsummated during
the last two weeks: distributions of
exports. are, 27,209 tons to U. S. At.
lantic POI IS, 5535 tons to New Orleans
and 5443 tons to Europe. Stock in the
island is 259.7S8 tons. Production to
September 80 is 2,97S, S55 tons. against
2,532,97S tons last year Visible pro-
duction to October 7 is 2,979,6SS tons.
Copious rains are reported through
out the week. ......
