The exports of sugar from the United States to Canada and Gibraltar in 1919 

 when compared with previous years show remarkable increases. To Canada in 1917 

 went S41.S92 pounds, in 1918 11,936,008 pounds, in L919 59,G71,31S pounds; to Gibraltar 

 in 1917 there went 500,000 pounds, in 1918 112,000 pounds, in 1919 18,059,500 pounds. 

 In an article in Commerce Reports for August 4, 1919, "Revival of Export Trade with 

 Austria-Hungary and Gibraltar," it is stated that exports consigned to Gibraltar were 

 sent there for orders and include shipments destined for Italy, Jugoslavia and other 

 Mediterranean countries. 



In marked contrast to this increase is the enormous decrease in 1919 of exports 

 to Argentina when compared with the two years preceding. A sharp decline may also 

 be noted in sugar exports to the Philippine Islands and Hawaii. 



CUBA THE CHIEF SUPPLIER OF SUGAR 



To satisfy these foreign calls and to meet the domestic demand not filled by 

 American-grown cane and beet sugars the United States imported from foreign coun- 

 tries and non-contiguous territories of the United States 7,755,000,000 pounds of sugar 

 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1919. The receipts in 1914 amounted to 6,S23,00O,00O 

 pounds, increasing in 1915 to 7,2S7,000,000 and in 1910 to 7,020,000,000 pounds. There 

 was a decrease to 7,473,000,000 in 1917 and to 0,057,000,000 pounds in 191 S. The re- 

 ceipts in 1919 were nearly 1,100,000,000 pounds larger than in 1918, having increased 

 at the rate of 10.5 per cent. 



In 1919 Hawaii shipped 1,210,000,000 pounds of sugar to continental United 

 States; 703,000,000 pounds were received from Porto Rico and 211,000,000 pounds 

 from the Philippines. Cuba shipped 5,4S9,00O,00O pounds, and the balance of 136,- 

 000,000 pounds came from the East and West Indian Islands, Mexico, Central and 

 South America, and other tropical countries. The receipts of sugar from the prin- 

 cipal foreign countries and from the insular territories of the United Stales in other 

 years were :
