PREDICTED SHORT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-tR)-A
1000 ton decline in world sugar
production in the 1856 crop year
as compared with last year was
forecast today by the Agriculture
Department.
The Departments Office of for,
eign agricultural relations pre-.
dicted total world output of both
cane and beet sugar at 1900, 200
short tons, raw value, compared
with 28,200,000 tons in the 1944-45
year.
This estimate is a 2,700,0 tons
below the 1943-44 production and
100000 tons under 1859 av-
erage. .'s ..--'

while North Americas beet sugar
yield trend has been upward since
1943, that in Europe has been
