REPORT, AUG. 8

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (Willett G.,
Gray. - United Kingdom. - State
inents of imports, exports and con-
sumption for the six months ending
June 80 will be found worthy of no
tice. Imports to date show an in
crease of Ia per cent over last year,
but are Is per cent less than in 1914.
Hence consumption amounts to, 1862
tons, against 944, 480 tons in 1915, and
975, sos tons in 1914, decrease of -
per cent compared with last year.
Our London adyices are. to the effect
that the sugar commission has now
purchased 10 090 tons of the MaGlri-
tits crop OF 7GF6lT cut Of a total crop
estimated at ea5 geo tong: The par
chasing kasis is 18s Cd f. @. b. which
figures about 3.Soe in U S. currency.
The commission has also extended
their purchases of Javas by 10000
tons. White .3avas are offered at Els
Cd f. o. b. and No. II D. S. at 19s 3D..
They have recently advanced the SELL
ing quotations in London of both
White Jayas and Mauritius Crystals,
the former to Ais I'D and the latter

RUSSIA statement has Just ap-
peared giving the anticipated sugar
production for the coming campaign
as. 1,394,956 tons, which is in accord
with our recent estimate of 100000
tons, published in our July q issue.
The stock on hand is so small that
the total quantity available is not ex-
pected to exceed 1907 tons, which
makes it obvious that the demand will
far exceed the supply. :. ..5...s:..
Fruit Crops and Local Sugar Stocks.
We have now completed the tabula-
ticn of reports as received by US on
the condition and prospects of the
fruit crops of the country and the
stocks OF sugar in hand. Some thirty
states have been covered by these
reports and are highly interest
ing. The sugar stocks, particu-
iarly, are worthy of mention, as
the lightest W have recorded in
many years and while we we're aware
such was somewhat the case, it was
surprising to us to receive so many
reports so consistently Identical in
this respect The states of Maine,
Virginia and West Virginia were the
Only ones to report stocks as normal
or equal to last year, while all the
others listed ranged from practically
10 stock of sugar" to very light
stock On hand" The conditions OF
the crops themselves and prospects
of yields may be considered generally
as very good Probably outturns in
Pennsylvania and three or four west
ern states will be poorer than usual,
while New York might be called only
fair, but elsewhere more than aver
age yields will cover these DEFICIENCIES.
Bussia.-Petrograd, July 10, 1915
A statement has just appeared show
ing the anticipated sugar production
IN the coming campaign. It shows in
the first place that the area soWn to
beet this year. according to figures on
1st-14tn June, IS less than that of last
year ct the corresponding period by
S2.476 desSiatines (222.6S5 acres), or
11.a per cent 1t is assumed that the
sugar production per dessiatine (27
acres) will be i43.6 pods (5185 bs),
based On the average OF the preceding
ten years: in such case the quantity
of sugar to be expected from the area
named with a normal harvest would
be $685., 900 D., or. I.394.956 tons. It
is calculated that there will be small
quantity carried over from the current
campaign into the next one, amounting
10 no more than seven million p.
u12,843 tenSl, so that the total GUAM
tiJr &C sugar available during the
1861 campaign is not expected to
exceed e3.5e0.G60 p., or 1907 ,799 tons
which Is afout two millions less than
was calculated for about two months
ago. Il is obvious that the supply is
not going n he equal to the degnsnd
Therefore there is suggestion tnat
the government. instead of rpcrlaf
ing as il has done in the past. the
production Of sugar in order not to
overload the market. shGpld now rata
