withdrawn owing to the fact that they are obliged to fill Government orders and various export 

 orders. A trade agreement has been reached with Norway and our refiners are now filling some 

 sugar orders for that country. All manufacturers in the United States who use sugar have to 

 present a Food Administration certificate to obtain same. The following memorandum shows 

 the total quantity of sugar suppUed to May 31 by the Committee on Sugar Supply for the Army 

 and Navy :

Note. — The small deliveries of sugar by the California Hawaiian & Western Sugar Com- 

 panies shown in the above statement are due to the very light demand from the Government 

 in the Pacific Coast Territory, and also the freight and other conditions favoring the placing of 

 such orders with the beet producers. 



Our cable on May 13th, from the Philippines, gave exports during Apiil ae 14,000 tons, of 

 which quantity 1,000 tons is destined for San Francisco, and the other 13,000 tons for various- 

 other countries. 



Advices on May 15th from Java gave exports during April from that Island of 37,500' 

 tons, of which quantity 4,000 tons went to England, 3,500 tons to Fiance and 30,000 tons to 

 other Eastern countries. The Java market is dull with very little doing, as at the present time- 

 shipping is temporarily at a standstill, which prevents business with outside markets. In any 

 event the India market is well stocked with Java sugars. 



The question of additional taxes to increase the revenue including additional rates on sugar 

 are still under discussion, but at the present time there are no developments to repoit. The 

 House Committee has begun hearings on the subject, but little has been said about sugar up 

 to date.
