Grinding is under way in the Louisiana cane sugar factories and first arrivals of the new 

 crop sugars have been reported at New Orleans. The warm and rainy weather has continued to 

 prevail and consequently stalk development continues, and the tonnage per acre will benefit 

 accordingly. Latest estimate of the outturn to be expected is 238,000 tons. 



As regards our domestic beet sugar crop the campaign is now general throughout the 

 United States. We shall shortly issue our revised estimate of the outturn to be expected, and 

 while some reduction from our last figure of 655,000 tons is probable, the reduction will not be 

 as large as we expected, owing to the favorable weather conditions of the past few weeks which 

 have increased the sugar content of the beet in a great many sections. 



Our cable from the PhiHppine Islands giving exports of sugar during the months of Sep- 

 tember reports 13,500 tons shipped to San Francisco during that month. Owing to recent 

 unfavorable weather in the Iloilo di.strict our correspondents have reduced their estimate of 

 the crop to 224,000 tons. 



From Java private cable advices state that the outturn of the new crop, based on the 

 plantings will be about 15% less than the present crop, or approximately 1,445,000 tons. This 

 figure is larger than was at one time expected as prominent Java shippers had informed us that 

 the 1919 crop would hardly exceed 1,250,000 tons. It is reported that some 10,000 tons of 

 Java sugars, shipped to the United States on three Dutch steamers, are under negotiations with 

 the Sugar Equalization Board. Our cable giving exports during September reports 4,000 tons 

 to England, 5,000 tons to Norway, 4,000 tons to Suez, 6,000 tons to Vancouver, B. C, and the 

 balance 148,000 tons, to Far Eastern countries. The 6,000 tons shipped to Vancouver confirms 

 rumors we have heard here recently of business in Javas to the West Coast of North America. 



There is little information of interest for us to give you on Refined sugars, the quotation 

 ebbing on the ba.sis of 9c. less 2% for cash for Fine Granulated Sugar. Business in the East, 

 particularly, is dull, owing to the many restrictions put upon the refiners as regards territory, 

 all the middle sections of the country being under the charge of the Chicago Committee of the 

 Food Administration, who are directing the distribution of beet sugar. 



Owing to the restrictions under the certificate plan the refiners have accumulated some 

 stock, and the Food Administration has today seen fit to allow the public to increase their pur- 

 chases for household uses from two pounds to three pounds per person per month. 



The American Sugar Refining Co., which ehminated the service of the refined sugar 

 brokers on January 1, 1918, has, at the request of the Food Administration, now informed 

 the trade that they will again accept orders through brokers and pay brokerage thereon.
