SUGAR PRICES IN 1915
Factors Contributing to Prosperous
Condition for the Domestic Industry

The European war continued dur.
ing 1915 to be the dominant factor
Affecting sugar prices. With the out.
put of beet sugar in continental Eur.
ope largely reduced and with such
European supplies as existed locked
up in the countries of production thru
the conditions created by the war,
the burden of satisfying the world $
sweet tooth fell in larger measure
than for many decades past upon the
cane producing countries. Cuba in
particular, possessing by far the
largest exportable surplus of any
country in the world, found strong
demand for its product arising from
Great Britain and France instead of
depending as usual almost entirely
upon the American market. With
Cuban and domestic crops reaching a
total of over four and half million
long tons, or approximately three
quarters OF million tons more than
total requirements for American con.
sumption, this situation was import.
ant to American sugar producers. It
lightened the stress OF Cuban com
petition which otherwise would have
been felt in full effect by the Ameri.
can market, and would have resulted
in a low level OF prices throughout
the year.
At the beginning of the year the
sugar trade was inclined to look for
lower prices. 1t was known that dur
ing the preceding months Great Brit
ain had taken half million tons of
Cuban and Javan sugars and had con.
tracted for additional large amounts
from both these islands. 1t was as
sumed, therefore, that British de.
mand was supplied for some months
to come. With an unexpectedly large
domestic production and heavy
Cuban crop, it was felt that level
somewhat below that Of the closing
months OF 1914 would be maintained
well into the new year. Before the
end OF January, however, 1t was re-
allied that the Cuban crop was NOV.
ing to market much more slowly than
usual. Adverse weather conditions
at the beginning Of the grinding sea-
son and lack Of shipping to move Gu
ban supplies to the United States. re-
sulting in high transportation rates,
we're reflected in scarcity Of stocks
for the seaboard refiners and led to
q sharp upturn in prices at the be.
ginning Of February. The bulk of
the domestic beet crop had been dis.
posed of during the latter part OF
1914 when it had brought about a
great reduction in prices, and the re-
mainder Of this crop was not moving
to market rapidly enough to prevent
an advance.
With the coming Of better weather
conditions in Cuba and an improve
ment In the shipping situation, the
upward movement lost much Of Its
momentum, but prices continued te
advance from time to time. Through
out the summer months from the be
ginning of May to the latter part Of
July the quotation On refined sugal
was maintained steadily at 6 cents
OR q net cash price Of SIS cents

this tendency as likely to reduce to
a negligible point competition from
this source later on. The result was
| that the extreme low level reached
at the beginning of October marked
what may be described as abnormal
or panic competition.
A number Of important influences
soon came into play which tended to
neutralize this abnormal depression.
One of these was the announcement
made by Secretary of the Treasury,
McAdoo, early in October that he
would recommend the continuation
of the import duty on sugar, which
relieved the fear that the entire beet
sugar crop would be rushed to mar.
ket and to some extent lessened the
actuap pressure from this sugar.
The slides in the Panama canal
which interrupted traffic and delayed
the arrival OF Hawaiian cargoes, fore.
ing these to take the long route
via the Straits Of Magellan, also had
an influence as did recurring scare
ity Of tonnage which sent freight
rates soaring once more and prevent
ed the prompt shipment OF supplies
from Cuba. Purchases for foreign &C.
count, principally for Great Britain
and France, but also in lesser vol
ume for other European countries,
were resumed and operated to re-
move any fear OF an oversupply FOR
the domestic market during the ear
ly part Of 1916.
The combined influence OF these
served to bring a recovery of prices
during the final weeks of the year,
so that the twelve month closed with
quotations at approximately the same
level that they had maintained dur
ing the early part OF summer sea
son. The yearly average net cash
quotation OF the seaboard refners for
graduated sugar was 5.5577 cents
pound, while the average price OF
90 degree test sugar was 4.653S
cents. The refiners margin for the
year averaged .9O39 cents pound,
The extensive business in the eX'
portation OF refined to European and
South American countries which con-
tinued in fairly steady volume
throughout the year and amounting
TO total OF nearly 100000 tons was
an important factor In improving the
business OF the reflners during the
year. In the American market the
increase, In the amount Of home
grown sugar available, together with
relatively slight advance in the
consumption Of sugar in the United
States. combined to bring about
reduction Of something less than
200 900 tons in the volume of refined
from imported raws marketed here
by the seaboard refners. The com
petition for sugar grown from Amer
lean soil was felt much more widely
during the past year than usual oS
the importing reflners. as native bee'
sugar was offered for sale in practi
cally every part OF the country dur
ing the early fall months.-tacts

SOUND ADVICE.
DISEASE IS EASILY CARRIED
Cleanliness Is One OF The First Requ-

OF The County.
By M. JACOB, State Veterinarian

BY M. JACOB, State Veterinarian
Do your neighbors' hogs have chol-
era? Then it will be we'll for you to
look to it that your herd does not be-
come infected from them. You can
prevent the disease from coming to
your farm, in most cases, by observ-
ing the following rules:
/. Remove all your healthy animals
to an inclosed, uninfected ground or
pen. This pen should be located so as
not to be near a public highway,
railroad, creek, or stream
2. Do not allow any communication
between your hog lots and those of
your neighbours, as cholera may be
carried very easily on peoples shoes.
3. Observe cleanliness, both as to
the surroundings and the feed. Wagons
, that have been used to carry infected
dead hogs will infect corn or other
feed, and thus bring the disease to
your farm.
4. Use disinfectants repeatedly and
regularly in your hog pens, feeding
!. troughs and buildings Use pei
cent dilution Of cresol. Frequent
cleaning and burning of the litter il
) the hog pens will prevent any laten
i Infection.
9 S. Do not put new stock, eithe
$ hogs or cattle, with hogs already Of
0 your farm. Newly purchased hog
q should be put In separate inclosure
j. we'll separated from the herd now o.
the farm, and kept under observation
1t for three weeks. ANY horses, mules
1t cattle or sheep transported by railwa
g may carry the infection to your farr
Ip by having been contaminated in publ
a. stock yards, pens, chutes and cars.
10 6. Burn all carcasses of dead cattl
le horses, hogs, sheep or dogs on the da
N they die. Do not allow dogs, chicken
te or hogs to have access to dead ca
ne cass The feeding of PARTIAL
burned carcass is dangerous, especia
ly that of cholera hog. Hog cholel
germs exist in the marrow of Il
bones and an entire herd may becon
infected from this marrow.
n The dead carcass that is not burne
Immediately, attracts buzzards ar
dogs, that may have come from far

The burying of dead animals is vel
