NEW YORK, n. Y. Jan. 4.-The
statistical position OF sugar for Jan
uary is rather a strong one owing TO
small raw supplies and the fact that
the grocery and jobbing trade are
carrying practically no refined stock.
The light exports from Cuba the past
| week indicate small receipts at At
lantic ports next week, thus reducing
further the already light raw stocks.
Last week the quotation for Cubas
was 1-Sc c. & (. (5.l4c), and on Fri
day the quotation was advanced to
41-4c c. & f. (527c) on sales from
store to operators.
This quotation was firmly main

day sales were reported to refiners.

Cuba Still Behind
Latest cable advices report that 80
centraIs are at work against 1913 last
Year However, the centrals working
are more than at the same time in
1915, when 70 were working. The re-
ceipts are normal for the factories
working at 1853 tons. but the ex-
ports are very small, only 1923 tons.
The stock of new crop sugar is 32,141
tons and old crop stock remaining is
1873 tons. The production Of entire
island of new crop sugars for Deem
Der is 1854 tons. against S4,S49 tons
last year The weather is fine and
favorable for crop making.
Beet Crop Estimate Reduced
Unfavorable weather during the
growing and harvesting period has
caused a reduction in the estimate
of the domestic beet crop. We new
estimate the crop at 775,0l0 tons,
against previous estimate of $4,000
tons.
Adjust Refined Prices
The gradual adjustment Of refined
prices more in accordance with raw
values has made further progress
this week, and refined quotations are
lowered 10 points to G.75c, less per
cent, say 6.615c net cash, against raw
values $3.50, or say a difference Of
1225c
The demand generally has been
moderate, but some refiners state
that the total days business is show

Other markets in South and West

VI. Jongeneel. president of the Ha.

culturist for the controlling company,
the California Packing Corporation OF

ing and pertinent statements in an
interview with the Star-Bulletin on the
local industry, chief among which Is
the statement that the island OF Lanai

the fruit and that the crop next year
probably will be less than this years.

how to best utilize the ground We

Generally the pineapple situation in
the Islands Is excellent, according to
the visitor, who says the price OF the
product which recently enjoyed an In

He broke down a corn field to erect

He now owns the one hundred feet
adjoining the structure on the north.
DIR. Kennedy is heavily interested

who has seen Tulsa grow from "al-

that Tulsa is growing on a cash
