SHIPPING SEASON
 ON GREAT LAKES

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 20--Ninety- three deaths and g. loss to shipping Of from $8,oOl, ,0O0 to S,0O0, 900 is the disaster toll of the 1918 shipping season on the Great Lakes, accord ing to figures compiled here. The loss of life was unusually heavy, due to the drowning of 7S men of the two French mine sweepers that dis appeared in a. gale on Lake Superior November "A. Loss to shipping was the lightest in many years.
 Four vessels were sunk in collis- ion, five foundered in storms, and the Congdon, one of the largest new ships on the lakes went to pieces on Canoe rocks, near Passage Island, Lake Superior, with it's cargo of grain, involving a loss of $1,5o0,- 900.
 The two French mine sweepers, CerisoIles and Inkerman, ocean, bound from Fort William, Ontario. became separated from their fleet and disappeared like shadow craft, with an estimated loss of s2,000,00O.
 In 1918 three vessels were raised. includirG the whaleback, Henry Cort sunk by the steamer Midvale in Lake Erie in December, 1917.
 War restrictions on such commodi- ties as coal and the tranSeer of large vessels to ocean service, made traffic lighter than during the previous four years Traffic through the Sault Ste Marie locks aggregated s5,6SO, ,327 tons. the ligfltest in four years, with a combined registered tonnage ot 61,100,214, the lowest since 1915 Total passages were 2O,61O, the low est in four years.
 Copper shipments were light 1T 1918, but iron ore shf-wnents were unusually heavy.
 Marine men predict that a new high tonnage record will be estab- lished next season, starting with the big grain movement down the lake: in the spring. They declare that 2 greater quantity of grain is stored 1T the holds of ships on the lakes thi; winter than ever before in the Grea Lakes navigation history.

1t is very doubtful however, If this
resolution Of the council of the allied

on the part Of the allied and asso-

would seem that all that the councils

opportunity to rasume trade relations

EXPECTATION OF REFINED SUGAR

The suspension of the exportatton
of refined sugar from the United
States ny order of the United States
Sugar Equalization board, in order to
correct local deficiencies and prevent
tho upward movement Of local prices,
lends interest TO a statement showing
the expectation of refined sugar from
the United States during the last
fifty years
II shows that the quantity Of re-
fined sugar exported from the United
States in the five years since the be-
ginning of the war is more than
double that of, the half century pre-
ceding the war. The quantity sent out
Of the country In tho FIVE years end
ing with June 1919 IS. in round
terms 5.oo0,ooo.o pounds against
? 900 600 600 pounds in the half CEN
fury preceding the war and the value
IN the Ave year-war period WAS s2a0,-
ooo,o 600 against $t2o, 900 900 in the
half century prior TO the war.
Tho sudden demands upon the
United states for refined sugar which
came with the beginning of the war
Is due 10 the fact that most of tho
European countries which had form
beet felds Of Germany. Austria Hun
gary and Russia found their usual
supplies cut off by the war and We're
compelled to look to the cane sugar
area of the world for their supplies.
The cane sugar area is chiefly Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii the Philippine
Islands, lava and India. Cuba and
our own islands send their raw sugar
to the United States TO be refined.
India consumes all of its sugar locally;
and Java exports a large proportion
of her product in the raw state TO her
neighbors In the Orient especially
India, Australia and Japan The
I4atin-American countries which pro-
duce about 100000 tons annually
have little for expectation. This left
Cuba and the islands belonging TO the
United States as the chief available
source for cane sugar. and as all OF
these islands have been sending their
raw product TO the United States for
refining. quite naturally the European
countries requiring sugar turned TO
this country for supplies of the re-
fined article.
AS a consequence OF this condition
the quantity Of refined sugar exported
from the United States in our fiscal
year 1918, the first year of the war,
was 55o.0oo.0oo pounds. in 1915
], $50, o00,0 900. in 1917 100000, 900.

proximately 1000. 100000 pounds.
This habit of the cane sugar pro.
ducers Of America of sending their
product TO the United States to he
renhed grew out of the fact that the
United States was the chief consumer
VI 'heir product. while Europe. the
oher great sugar consuming section
