PURCHASE OF SUGAR BY AUSTRALIAN 

 GOVERNMENT 



"The Australian Commonwealth Gov- 

 ernment," says Consul General J. I. Brit- 

 tain. Sydney, "lias purchased 40,0o0 tons 

 of sugar to make good the Australian 

 production shortage of last season. 



"The estimated consumption of sugar 

 in Australia for the year ended June 30, 

 1919, is 295,000 tons. The sugar on hand 

 is 53,000 tons, the Queensland production 

 being 190,000 tons. New South Wales 

 12,000 tons, making a total of 255,000 tons. 



"Last year the supplies of sugar were 

 made available for army contracts at 

 $126.36 per ton. but the manufacturers 

 of jam had to pay $141.74 per ton." 



REMOVAL OF FRENCH IMPORT RESTRIC- 

 TION ON SUGAR 



Commercial Attache C. D. Snow has 

 cabled from Paris that a decree of June 6, 

 1919, permits the importation of raw and 

 refined sugar, beginning June 10. The 

 Government will continue rationing the 

 sugar stock now on hand. 



Since March, 1916, raw, refined, or pow- 

 dered sugar has been imported only by 

 the French Government. By a decree of 

 April 14. 1919, the importation of raw 

 sugar for refining or further manufacture 

 into confectionery, etc.. has been per- 

 mitted under special guaranty that the 

 goods would be re-exported. 



HOLLAND REMOVES RESTRICTIONS ON 

 BEET SOWINGS 



The Government of Holland last year 

 limited the area which could be sown in 

 sugar beets to SO per cent, of the average 

 of 1013, 1914 and 1915. This amounted 

 to 120,000 acres maximum. This restric- 

 tion has now been removed and liberty to 

 cultivate beets at pleasure has been re- 

 stored.
