cnmmrTce it consists OF a statement
OF the quantity OF SUGAR cane used by
tie factories and the value Cf the pro

There are scattered throughout the
southern states large number Of
these small mills, statistics for which
are collected and published at each
census Of agriculture. The refining OF
cane sugar, however, is treated as a
separate industry and is covered By
separate report as are also the manu-
facture OF beet sugar and the prcduc-
ton Of sOrghum and ether sirups.
Reports were received from 1S1 fac
tories engaged in the manufacture of
cane sugar, the majority OF which fur
nished data fer the season OF l9l3i4.
The products for tie year were val
ued at 81 ,63j.3I2. At the census of
1899 reports were received fraII 2l4
establishments, with PRODUCTS valued
at $30,6L0,713&. The value OF the an
nual production has therefore de
creased $685.. 1856, CT 1913 Per cent.
The ISL factories reporting for 1914
used 3.754,S20 tons Cof 200o poundsl

1909 the PA Factories then in opera
ton treated 4520,419 tons Of sugar
cane, producing 32G,S5S tons of sugar,
which were valued at $26, 1913. The
decrease, therefore, was 60. O57 tons,
or 10 per cent, in quantity Of product
and S1,l47,993. or PA per cent in
value In 1914 there were also pro-
duced 23095,89 gallons of molasses
and strip, valued at $2,631,212, and
subsidiary products or by-products val
ued at $56,4 Al In 1909 the produc-
ton of molasses and strip was $685.
AL gallons, valued at $3,211.l91.
OF the 1S1 factories reported in
1914, 16S were located in Louisiana,

A GENERAL
RISE IN AUTO PRICES
Hugh Chalmers Tells How Euro
pean War Has Affected
Motor-Making Industry.

An increase OF 500 in the price OF the
Chalmers $40 touring car, from 1850
to 81 40, effective march !. was an
nounced at the recent Chicago automo-
bile show by executives of the Chalmers
Motor Company. Coming on the heels
Of sharp advances in the cost Of all raw
materials, the announcement may be
the forerunncr of similar policies
throughout the industry.
Raw materials have advanced in
price to new high levels i'm the past
lew months, and the end is not yet in
sight" said Hugh Chalmers. we have
found il impossible to manufacture r.
car conforming to our standards at the
former production cost. Rather than
sacrifice quality we have decided to ad-
vance the cars price.
II predict general upward revision
of motor car prices before many
months. There is no other way out for
the automobile manufacturer The
European war has been responsible in
n great degree for the big increase in
the costs of raw materials. The tre-
mendous demand for steel. copper, tin,
lead, aluminium, sheet metals, and other
materials for use in the manufacture
of war munitions has made prices high
and deliveries uncertain.
"Nanadium steel, which sold at Sl.S5
a pound only a year ago has jumped
to $3.50 pound. Aluminium has
nearly tripled in price, going from 10
cents a pound TO 53 cents pounI.
other sensational increases are: steel
bars, from s1.10 a hundred to So a
hundred: high speed steel, from s1.05
pound to 1896: leather from 20
cents a foot to 33 cents a foot; copper.
from II cents a pound to "a cents
pound.
added to the many troubles OF the
motor-car maker is the difficulty in
securing machine tools and automatic
machinery of the latest type. Fac
tories turning out shrapnel and other
munitions of war have practically
corralled the output of the machinery
makers. Steel mills are making no
promises of delivery within six
months. and parts manufacturers are
accordingly held up in their produc-
ton. Almost every concern In the
metal industry is turning down or
ders. having accumulated quantity
! sufficient to keep them at top speed
for months to come.
The situation can result in only one
thing-higher prices on cars within
the next sixty days. If we find that
materials continue to climb after the
500 increase in price on our car has
taken effect. we will undoubtedly be
Cmpelled to again raise the price.
We have as yet made no change in
the price OF the chalmers Six-3O
model. now selling at $1,000. because
this car Is being built from materials
