submitting returns for the business
year most nearly approaching ths
year in question; the statistics, how
ever, relate to a 12-month period and
to the cane and beet crops of 1909.
The figures are preliminary and sub-
jec to such changes as may be found
necessary from a further examina
tion of the schedules.
The total production of sugar In
tils country increased from 90,800
tons in 1879 to 835,800 tons in 1909, or
£20 per cent; the Inercaso in the
qurinity of cano sugar in the 40 years
was 274 per cent, and the entire de
velopment of the beet-sugar Industry
!• measured by this period.
The imports of sugar Into the Uni
ted States during the period covered
bj' the table Increased from 914,COO
tons to 2,887,100 tons, or 218 per cent,
lu 1909, of the total imports 32 per
cent came from noncontiguous sec
tions of the United States and 68 per
cent from other countries. Not tak
ing account of stocks on hand the
supply of sugar for the United States
in 1909 was 3,722,900 tons, made up
or domestic production amounting to
855,800 tons and imports to 2,887 100
tns. If the 94,600 tons exported du
ring tho year be deducted, the amount
retained for consumption is found to
be 3628,300 tons, indicating a per cap- cashier’s Checks
ita consumption of 79 pounds, which
compares with 59 pounds in 1899, 61
pounds in 1889, and 39 pounds in 1879.
