AS appears from the table, France,
Italy, Russia and Belgium were self
supporting, while the United Kingdom
drew it's entire sugar supply from ex-
terror sources. The supply of the Unit
ed Kingdom came to the amount of
about 70 per cent from countries from
which it is now cut off by the war.
Ten per cent came from the East In
dies and 20 per cent from the United
States and the West Indies.
The prospective 1918 crop in France
has diminished to 100000 tons and
that of Italy to $4,000 tons, and they
are therefore short $4,000 tons. The
displacement of United Kingdom sup
plies amounts to 1,435,0O0 tons; and
therefore, in total, these three allied
countries must import about 2,700,000
tons in order to maintain their normal
consumption. OF this, 100000 tons
must come from new sources.
The disturbance Of shipping re-
duces the tonnage available and drives
the demand to large degree upon the
