crease their acreage in cane this year

there, are no unfavorable features to
the general situation, 1E
At this writing the weather is con-
siderably milder than any we have re.

PRICE For WASHED
SUGAR 0|SPLEASES
louisiana Producers Claim Dis
elimination Against Them
. d. + and For Refineries =

. NEW ORLEANS, January 26-The
schedule of washed sugar prices recent
ly issued by the international sugar
committee which allow q maximum diff
ferential of only sixty-five points over
the price of raws for such sugars, has
created quite stir in Louisiana sugar
circles, where practically all of the
s0-called washed sugars in the United
States are made. Planters and other
sugar men in the State are wondering
If there is any quality reason why the
price of refinery graduated sugar
should be $50 points over the raw price
and the price Of Louisiana sugars
which are at least equally pure, only
one, half of this refners' differential,
They say that the only good reason
for such q discrimination would be
found in the fact that the refners
sugars were better from the standpoint
of health, - some other reason more
solid than the mere slight difference in
their appearances. Such things as these
are making the planters and cane farm
ers Of Louisiana more and more sick
of the international sugar committee,
of refiners, and there is talk Of the
necessity of taking some strong. step
towards having the President appoint
a domestic sugar producer on the com
mittee. This rule, the cane growers Of
louisiana believe is positively the most
self advantageous regulation the re-
fneries could have asked the committee
TO prescribe, if they had been per
mitted to suggest anything of that
kind. Not that the planters think that
there was any suggestion made Of this
character, but they feel that it was as
ideal y rule as even the most avari,
Ieious refiner could have desired.
IL. A. Rainold says that in his opin.
ion the proper way to fix prices on
sugar is TO start from the Tefner q
graduated price downward, and not
from the raw price up. A twenty Ave
point differential between plantation
products and refners' goods, il, the
widest differential justiipble, Isl the
opinion of almost every man talked "a
on this matter. r.%,7

Cuban producers THAT everything pos
sibIe that can be accomplished in New
York relative to the successful harvest
ing of the crop Of 19l7-19l8 will be
done. Mr.. William Merchant, presi-
dent Of the National Bank Of Cuba,
has also returned to Hayana, and has
announced that the Federal Reserve
Bank has agreed to advance $100, 000,-
900 to the Cuban sugar producers to
carry them until their sugar has been
sold. The money is to be advanced
upon presentation of certificate of de.
amount is estimated to be enough to
finance the crop until the sugar is paid
for. Mr. Merchant also states that he
has been assured that there will be
plenty Of ships for transportation Of
sugar to the United States. Owing to
a contract recently signed by the
United States and Holland, the latter,
in exchange for food, win eede to the
shipping board of the United States
fifty ships, some of which will, no
doubt, be used in transporting sugar.
