WHITE SUGAR EVENTUALLY: WHY
NOT NOW?

To any student or ever to any casual
observer Of the sugar markets of the
United States, it must seem very queer
that now that we have reached March
there are still some persons who cannot
get an adequate supply of sugar to meet
their current wants, and that the New
York ~refiners from day to day are report
ed as 'alloca i g sugar mOng their
customers, not having sufficient sugar to
supply the entire demand, and yet get
ting wide margins between the current
prices for Cuba 96 test and the fine white
graduated that they are delivering. 1t
would seem tina, the expectation of sugar
is going on at high speed, ard in some
instances is called refining on toll, . and
anyway he results are unsatisfactory to
the American people. This has lead to a
large increase n the consumption of 50
Lest sugar and prominent sugar buyers
all over the country have been led tt buy
t.4ese sugars in Cuba for their oWn &C .
count, and we can readily judge that
sugar of Sc test or pure sugar, OF perhaps
2 per cent moisture and z per cent non
sugars, will 81 a product that is TT for
almost any purpose other than where a
pure white color is desired. The slight
caramel tinge that may attach 10 20 test
sug r is not only injurious, but real
ly improves the favor, as good candy can
only be made at comparatively high
Temperatures that will bring out the
light caramel flavor. The color may be
Objectionable, but the flavor is there and
the genuine Sucrosa is there.
Our great confecti0ners, our manutac-
turers of preserves and Of various syrups

sugars in large quantities. T1ey have
various machine OF their own for carry
:ng on their own particular work, and
they car do just us we'll by buying the So
called raw or So Test sugar as by buying
the very tine sugars that have been pre-
pared Oy the grear sugar refiners who
pride themselv S so much upon the nx-
IRENE Wilderness that they obtain by
careful boneblack filtration. | was pre-
dicted nearly forty years ago by one of
the gentlemen at the head of one of the
present great sugar refining interests of
the country that the refinin of sugars
up to pure whites would be carried on at
the place of production before the lapse
or many years. Nearly forty years have
elapsed and yet the production of white
sugar in the tropics has not very mater
ally increased. II has been held down
by the excellence of the work done by
the sugar refiners and by the indiffer-
ence in the tropics to the final results Of
sugar cane culture and sugar cane
manufacture, as long as they came out
slightly ahead at the pd of the season.
Modern labor saving devices have helped
to lower the prices of sugar and 50 materi-
ally diminished the cost of production as
to DerA.it some profit at least to come to
the ctual producer, even though the
great sugar r~efiners combine as do our
other great monopolies, to crush the pro-
ducer, finding that easier to accomplish
than to crush the consumer with high
prices.
In the city of New Orleans right after
the u. S. Civil War, when the Louisiana
sugar industry began 10 rise from its ru-
ms, there were probably a dozen little So
allied sugar refineries in operation in the
city, where some enterprising merchants
or engineers would have set up a single
, 1920-03-17

old AspinwaIl centrifugal and bought low
priced sugars on the open market and
washed them up into lighter or brighter
and dryer sugars, reaching at times up to
white sugar and thus with these little
miniature establishments, the whole out
fit of which would be less than SIS, 900,
they would turn out handsome sugars,
and did reasonably we'll.
Vacuum pans were not then in very
general use and these enterprising sugar
refners were compelled to buy soft or
open kettle sugars and from 100 pounds
of reasonably good open kettle sugar
they would. not secure over go pounds of
dry centrifugal sugar. These soft grains
and the considerable washing required,
led to these small yields. and the bust
ness wa soon driven out of existence by
the advent of the larger ~refners. who
proceeded more m~ethodicalIy and with
filteling establishments and were able to
secure much more final sugar.
Before he advent of the polariscupe in
Wall street, New York the old sugar re-
fners went about looking at muscovada
or Open kettle sugars that were offered
by various brokers and by the sense of
touch, feeling the harshness or softness
of the grain, and by their observation of
The dryness of the sugar they determined
the intrinsic merit of the sugar of which
the prominent grades were good REIN
ing and fair refining" the polarisco-
pic test not coming into use until about
1870.
The recent sugar famine and the pre-
sent inability or unWillingness of the
American sugar "efiner TO supply the
market with sugar, their preferences to
export it, so that they may get great
profits on sugar as we'll as on syrup
made from foreign sugars, place them
in a m%onopolistic position that would
make a Chicago meat packer smile at
