From Canadian sources we have the returns on the sugar industry for the fiscal 

 year ending March 31, 1919. The total imports of sugar amounted to 320,974 tons, 

 against 342,799 tons in the preceding year. Notwithstanding the decrease in imports 

 in 1918, the Canadian consumption during the past year shows an increase of 17 per 

 cent, over 1918, amounting to 342,35S tons, against 292,855 tons, the apparent dis- 

 crepancy in the figures heing accounted for by the heavy exports in 1918 against 

 practically nothing in 1919, 61,164 tons against only 916 tons. 



Our latest advices from Philippine Islands are to the effect that the crop of 

 Iloilo is now all harvested, and did not exceed 85,000 tons, so that the estimate for all 

 of the islands is correspondingly reduced by us to a total of 150,000 tons. Exports 

 during the month of June amounted to 22,000 tons to the Far East, and 1,000 tons 

 to San Francisco. 



We have a cable from Java stating that the 1919-20 crop is not coming up to 

 previous expectations, and will probably outturn slightly less than our estimate of 

 1,300,000 tons. Quotations for white sugars have advanced rapidly, owing to heavy 

 demand, and at normal exchange are now equaled to 11.80c per lb. f. o. b. Java. 



The strike troubles which are tieing up sugar-carrying boats in the United States 

 Ports continue to interfere with the delivery of raw supplies. Some of the trouble 

 has been satisfactorily settled, and the grievances of the engineers are now receiving 

 attention with the expectation of an agreement being reached shortly. Our refiners 

 have been instructed by the Equalization Board not to sell any refined sugar for ex- 

 port until further notice, in an effort to clear up the domestic situation which is 

 still very much demoralized. The refiners are not accepting any new business, and 

 are still unable to catch up on their old orders. In many markets of the country the 

 scarcity is very apparent, and resales are being made by the fortunate holders of 

 sugar to the less fortunate ones at fancy prices. Refiners* quotations are unchanged 

 and fairly nominal, basis of 9c regular terms.
