Direct shipping Increases.

The position Of Sydney as an island
transshipment point in the copra trade
Is not an important one, and that po-
sition Is not likely TO be improved, With
, great extension of island plantations
and larger annual production OF copra
TO be handled, direct shipments will tend
TO increase. A factor that lately op-
Grated against the shipment OF copra
10 Sydney was the prohibition, effective
beginning January II, 1918, and but re-
Gently removed, against exporting the
product to any country but the United
Kingdom.
II is estimated that the expenses on
copra forwarded to Sydney for trans
shipment freight from the Islands, un-
loading, wharfage and reloadingl
amount to about s21.s9 a ton, so that
direct trading with the islands will re-
suit in a considerable saving. With this
in view. and probably because OF the
Sydney Harbor Trusts regulation pro-
hiblting the storage OF copra in the
sheds on the DEMONSTRATING 1t as

part of their island business from Aus
tralia. It is reported that this company
has commenced building depots at the
Solomons, Tonga. Fiji, Rabaul (late Ger
man New Guinea), and the Gilberts, at
a cost Of 80. 900 pounds sterling (sI45,-

Opportunities for Americans.
II this plan is carried out, next year

copra arriving at Sydney for transship-
ment, and the supplies which now form

islands may be brought direct from
other markets II was reported on Feb
ruary 10 last that Messrs. Burns. Philip
& Co. then had a steamer at London
loading for Fiji direct, and on arrival
at Fiji would take on copra for the
United Kingdom. There seems to he no
commercial reason, or in fact any need,
for the utilization OF Sydney as a trans
shipment point for copra. and the ten
dency to open up direct shipments from
the' producing islands offers an cppor-
tunity to American traders to compete
on terms Of direct purchase, and to
open up in return there large business
in American manufactured products.
Australia and New Zealand now have
considerable commercial influence in the
island trade. The island demand has
been and Is still largely supplied with
American products, and an important
part OF Australian shipments consist OF
reexports of American and British
goods. But the increasing Australian
production OF foodstuffs and certain
manufactured articles is placing COM
monwealth traders in a better position
for future trade development Never
theless, American exporters should be
able to compete, and on favorable terms,
with the products and shipping OF Aus
tralia for share OF the island trade.

The sources from which these imports
were drawn have changed, and are
changing now, as competition for copra

keener, because OF an Improvement In

more direct routes from the producing
islands to consuming makets. During

island plantations, as the following

Demand for Apparatus.

AT present most Of the cane Is used
in producing CUR sort Of native prod.
uct that in other countries Is called
black sugar or 'molassuite resulting
from working the sugar and rlolasses
down together. Present importatioAs are
largely soft, brown or white sugars -
largely from Java.
where new plants are installed, with
capacity sufficient to Justify it, there
will probably be a demand for appa-
ratus suited to the production OF white
sugars. In some localities the carbona-
ton process will probably be used In
other localities, where lime and lime
stone are not conveniently available, the
sulphuration process will be preferred.

INDIA NEEDS NEW

WASHINGTON. July 25.--The demand
In India for all kinds Of machinery used
In the production and refining OF sugar
will probably increase rapidly in the

port made to the Bureau Of ForeiSn
and Domestic Commerce by Trade Com

Recent years have shown that the
interests OF India require that every
thing possible be done TO improve the
yield and the methods OF manufacture, 81
says the report
india has long been a most impor-
tant producer Of sugar cane, having an
acrei &c (about 2,5O0,O0O) larger than
any other country in the world. But
the yield per acre has been very low
average 2,7j4 pounds of cane per acre
In 19t6-l7). The demand from its
3l5,000,0 900 inhabitants has been very
large. necessitating the Importation OF

this subject and in the course of its
work has visited practically all OF the
important districts OF India The re-
port will probably be published in, 1921

and comparatively primitive methods
The Sun and the New York herald., 1920-07-26


Until a few years ago cane sugar
was grown and crushed by primitive
methods. For some time better
methods have prevailed, to the extent OF
using mills with roh rollers instead OF
the wooden charki OF earlier days. This
advance encourages the hope OF the pos
sbility OF further Improvement.
Among those considering the above
problem are people advocating the use OF
mills capable OF caring for about 100
acres Of cane. Apparently they have In
mind something on the order OF an (oii)
engine driven three roller mill, the en-
gine TO be used for driving an irrigation
pump when not needed for crushing. So
large is the country that It is estimated
that the universal adoption OF such
plants would involve the investment of
about s10O.000.000 (at pre-war values
and exchange but probably double that
amount now. II this could be brought
about 1t would be one OF the greatest
blessings India has ever experienced. II
irrigation and other items are considered
the investment probably would be three
times as great. Where the small power
driven mills have replaced bullock driven
mills they have increased the value OF
the product from a given area by about
25 per cent.
Others seem TO think that a plant
to handle from 100 to 800 tons Of cane
per day is the most feasible type OF
Manufacturers will at once
recognize the class Of machinery needed
for such work. Difficulties resultiSy
from the land tenure system Of India
emphasize the need OF giving attention
to these and TO the smaller giants.
In most of the territory 1t will be
found difficult to control a sufficient area
to keep such mills operating. II also
will be difficult to persuade the conser-
vative ryot to grow the kind Of cane
wanted In a modern way. so as to get
results comparable with those OF other
countries. But India is a vast country,
and there are districts still to be re-
claimed from the jungle that can be
secured and converted into modern sugar
plantations. supporting centrals having
capacity of over 1000 tons OF cane per
day. Several projects Of this sort are
being considered.
