SUGAR CROP

Decrease in the worlds sugar crops of nearly a million tons is
estimated by Wilet & Gray in a preliminary crop estimate published
October 81. Their figures for 1922 n $685. 059 tons less than the
1921 outurn and nearly 100000 tons less than the record outturn
of 191415. In reaching these figures the next Cuban crop is put at
100000 tons.
Decreased acreage in paintings as a result of the lower sugar
prices and high production costs of the past season and the closing
down of some factories and mills because Of financial stringency are
the chief factors expected to enter into reduction of the outturn but
the figures are only tentative and it is admitted that the Cuban
situation is something of an enigma.
While Wilet & Gray's estimated decrease would indicate that the
strategic position of thesugar market in the coming campaign will
be much stronger than the last, it is not to be assumed that immedi-
ate or large advances in the price are to be expected. There is a
counteracting influence that must be considered, the large carry
over from the 1921 crop. The Cuban surplus must be absorbed and
there are other SURPRISES in other parts of the world. 1t should be
remembered that it is a very few weeks ago that there were threats
of the throwing overheard of the entire Cuban surplus at two cents
a pound and that it was finally determined to carry it along int.
next year and not to sacrifice it by throwing on the market all at
once The marketing of the remains of the old crop in connection
with the new crop, even though the latter be reduced about six per-
cent under this years production must have a tendency to hold price.
down. There is not the occasion for buyers to rush into the market
in a wild scramble to secure supplies, at least not in the earlier
stages of the campaign.
Such estimates as that issued by the New York sugar experts are
rghtfully encouraging, tend to a feeling of optimism but should
not be permitted to rouse expectations unduly.

CITY FLOAT TO BE BUILT SOON
 AS PERMITTED
Expenditure for Fishermen S Float Is Good City
 Investment.

Any sum spent between $3000 and S4,000 for a fisherman's float near the Alaska Juneau dump, on the channel, would never be regretted as an investment by the city of Jul neau was the expression of the mem bers of the city council last night when the proposed float was brought up for discussion.
 Councilman Keeny made a report that at the highest figure, the float would not cost over $3,4OO but at that the amount was sound in vestment and he was concurred in by Mayor Robertson and Council men Johnson, Robeson, Wicklander and Getchell.
 The members of the council pres ent at the session last night all agreed that the float should be con- structed just as soon as a decision had been reached by the manage. ment of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company regarding the amount of space that could be re- served between the dump and the present dock of the company.
 It was pointed out that the new fill would make an admirable pro- lection from storms and as the de- mand came from the fishermen of structed at the earliest possible time.
