Exports Of refined sugar for the year

only S,225. and 81 $40 tons for the two

opened TO our refiners by the war.
OF the above mentioned 3S6,95l tons,

Reviewing Domestic Beets
| A somewhat unfapOrable growing
season in the most important beet pro.
! dueing states, was followed by a re-
markably favorable harvesting season,
during which the beets in all states,
but especially IN Colorado, increased
greatly in sugar content, reaching a
point closely nPproximating that oh.
, tanned in the best previous years
Consequently reports just received
! from practically all the factories in the
United States indicate a still further
slight inereasesin the production over
our October estimate, and a crop of
, 10000 tons, or 1919 tons larger than
last year, Is now anticipated. Last year
the production was 646,257 tons.

In several states. the campaign has
still considerable time to run. Cali,
| fornia has finished and win make a
good showing, the crop of that state
promising to ontrun at least 10000
tons larger than the October estimate.
Colorado shows an increase of about
25 900 tons over the last estimate. Ohio
and Michigan show slight increases.
