u, s. TARIFF BODY GIVES OUT
REPORT UPON SUGAR
COST.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Sugar,
after refining, represents a total
cost carrying from six and seven
tenth cents to eight and three
tenthS cents per pound, it is de-
clared by the United States Tariff
Commission, which recently com
pleted an investigation of costs,
prices and profits in the refining
industry. The tariff commission
is getting out a detailed report
covering its investigation. The
following is the commission s
summary Of the investigation:
"The total cost per pound of
refined sugar produced in the fac
ries investigated ranged from
GIL cents to 1878 cents. Of
the specific items Of cost, that of
raw sugar represents about 90 per
cent. A small relative difference
in the cost Of rawS may therefore
make considerable ABSOLUTE differ
ence in the cost Of raWs may of
refining. As raws differ in SUI
crosse content it is an important
means of reducing the cost of re-
fning. Direct labor costs vary
from .076 to 1888 of a cent per
into most of the other cOsts-fuel,
pound, but wages enter indirectly
supplies, marketing, etc. Other
items Of expense are cost Of con
tanners, fuel, bone char, advertis
ING, maintenance and repairs, and
depreciation. An interesting fea-
ture Of the report is table show
ING the rapid rise in various items
Of cost from 1914 through the
first six months Of 1919. Alto
gcther the total cost in 1919 was
more than double what it was in
1914. The advance in price
closely paralleled that of cost du-
ring the same period.
Profits and returns on produc-
tive investment are shown to have
been highest in 1917. Averaging
by refneries were 1916 cents per
100 pounds in 1914. 40 cents in
1917, 13 cents in 1918, and 31.6
cents in 1919. Reckoning by

average poundage, the variations
in returns on productive invest
ment were 8.64 per cent in 1911;
% per cent in 1917; 1922 per cent
in 1918, and 1867 per cent in
1919.
"The present world shortage Of
sugar is attributed to the de.
creased production of beet sugar
in Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Russia, France and other European
countries. At the outbreak of the
war the world sugar supply was
made up of beet and cane sugar
in the proportions of 81 per cent.
cane and 46 per cent beet. The
great center of beet sugar was Er-
rope, especially those areas di-
rectly involved in the war AS a
result of the war European pro-
duction in 191S-1919 was reduc cd
by four and One-half million tons,
as compared with the output in
1913-1914. This enormous short
age has ben partly offset by a
stimulus to cane sugar prOduc-
ton especially in Cuba, the pres
ent output being two and one
quarter millions tons in excess of
the pre-war output. The world is
still over two million tons short
of its pre-war production.
Notwithstanding the decrease
in supply, domestic consumption
in 1919 exceeded eleven previous
records, the per capita consump-
ton for that year being 87.6
pounds. Thise Exceeded the per
capita consumption of 1918 by -
