Petrograd, under date Of December
8 says particulars have become avail
able in Petrograd on the position OF
the sugar beet harvest and the produc.
ton Of sugar by 166 sugar f@ttOries on
November I. Over the mole empire
90 per cent of the beet root expected
has been lifted. The position in the
central and eastern districts is on the
whole favorable, where 1886 per cent
of the expected collection has been
realized In the southwestern district
the position Is not so good, particu
larry in Podelia, where about Is per
cent remains ungathered. Through,
out the whole southwestern district SO
per cent has been gathered. In the
Cherson government 80 per cent; in
the Kieff government so per cent; in
Podolia "a per cent. Out of the guam
tity OF beet root gathered 70 per cent
has already been delivered to the fac
tories; in the central district SO per
cent; in the eastern 80 per cent, and
in the southwestern 81 per cent. Ac-
coHdiIig to data furnished by the fac.
tories the result In sugar is III per
cent per weight Of beet, or 67.2 funts
per berkowetz. According to inforTna-
ton received from the Kieff govern
ment two factories have already fin.
ished their production, while tour
have not yet begun to produce, which
is for want of beet root. At the same
time more than 80 factories in the
southwest have stopped production,
caused by the non-delivery of beet.
ltaly's report is that the crop year
has been irregular as to growing con.
ditions and the yields have not been
up to normal, except possibly as to
sugar content, which at one time was
up to 16 per cent. The crop is esti.
mated at 10000 tons. This figure is
not sufficient for consumption, as 210,
900 tons are needed. However, duties
have been increased and the govern
ment has taken ever the distribution
of sugar, but nevertheless some sugar
will have to be imported.
