Some of the trade are laboring under
the impression that because the U. S.
refiners arc exerting sugars, it is af

of Defined. Therefore, you will under

The churches are united in brotherly

ributiou of Refined Sugars to the domestic
trade. The Royal Commission Sugar
oes not in any wuy interfere with the dis
tribution of American Refined. The acute
situntion in this country la due to the
limited quantity of Raws availabl* for
American consumption for’the balanfce of
the year.
Indications do not permit us to lend any
eucouragement to the trade that sugar
conditions will improve. To the contra
ry it is our opinion that sugars will be
more difficult to secure from this time for
ward until New Crop Cubaa come on the
market, which will Ik* the latter part of
December or the early part of January.
We are unquestionably facing a great
er shortage of sugar than lias been »*x-
perienccd in the past months, due to the
probability that by the middle of Novem
ber all of the Old Crop Cuban Raw«
owned by the U. S. Equalization Board
will have been refined. Some refiners
will be forced to discontinue operations
sooner, as they have already been advised
by the Equalization Board that they hnv«>
been allocated all of the Old Cron Haw |
Susars that they will receive this year. |
The Savannah Husar lteflncry will no
doubt be furred to discontinue operations
by October lOtb. or 15th because of lack
of Haws. Between now and that time
their entire output will be shipped abroad,
in consequence of the nbove nientioiie*
conditions, they will be unable to complete
domestic contracts. Yon will understand
from this that the Refinery is not in posi
tion to «*on*idor any new business.
