SUGAR REFINING CO.
SURPLUS, S865,OLO
Fluctuations Cause Loss of
$1,693,070 During Year,
Annual Report Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 1.-THE AIneri-
can Sugar Refining Company received
profits of $s.5OS.163, in the form of
investment income and interest in
1928, of which s5,s52,4s7 represented
income from investments largely in
sugar producing companies, says the
annual report made public today. This
amount, with $2,955,675 interest
earned, was sufficient, the report said.
TO cover a loss on refining operations
of 1883 ,o70, and to provide for de-
probation. bond interest and pre-
ferred dividends, and leave q balance
of sS65.107 for surplus. Sales of var
ious investments gave a profit OF
$4,542,6sl, which has been set aside
to strengthen the company's refining
facilities in New York harbor.
Earl D. Babst, president emphasized
sugar refiners. The price of raw sugar
changed lis times, he said, the ex-
treme .fluctuation causing a loss of
$1.6S3,070 on 1,165,000 tons of raw
sugar refined by the company. In
1922 the company refined 1,650,000
tons at profit of $10,083.s32.
Sales Total 500, 100000.
safes OF the company totaled $20O,-
000,o6 Nearly 100000, 900 pounds Of
package sugar alone were sold.
Sugar refners had all the ups and
downs of ten-year pre-war period
crowded into 1923, Mr.. Babst asserted,
the company's inventory fiuctuating as
much as $2,500.000 in a single day. In
diSorganized postwar prices sugar went
to greater extreme than any other COM
modify, the report stated, compared with
average prices Of 1910, sugars f1uctua-
tion since the armiStice is shown to have
been greater than the combined f1uctua-
tions Of wheat and cotton, and almost
equal to the combined fluctuations Of
wool, rubber, coal and copper.
The report stated the wholesale price
Of refined sugar in the United States in
1923 was lower than the price in Eng
land, France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Nor
way, Canada or Uruguay.
More Markets Needed.
Mr.. Babst said he regarded the de-
velopment of exports as a necessity for
maintaining Cuba's expanded produc-
ton. The two-milIion-ton gain in Euro
pean sugar production in the last four
years has been almost as large as the
eight-year gain Of the United States
field under war pressure, he asserted.
There is bound to be a race for the
sugar markets Of the world" he said.
Women comprise about half OF the
company's 26,7S1 stockholders
