Despues de un cuidadoso reco-

mos llegado a la conclusion de
Que Ia perspective en- el cercano

y 'da pocas esperanzas bajo ell

queremos indebidamente causar

tambien es bueno que echen a

en- pro de un possible mejoramien-
to en- la situacion, por ell presen-

Si hubo alguna vez base real
para abrigar esperanzas de que
el,., azdcar estuviese disponible
con 1liberalidad en- ell otofio, que
generalmente hay demanda ur-
gente para las frutas en- conser-

han podido atender a la demanda
insistente y continuan fuera del

mas existe teniendo al frente los

embargo sobre los negocios de ex

que deducirse inevitablemente

tuacion con respecto a la reno

sinembargo no pueden conside-
rarse como negocios de exporta-

plemente refinada a base de de-
rechos de molienda, habiendose-
les asignado las crudas a la Co.
