During the Last Five Years. 



The influence of the war upon the price of sugar may be seen at a glance by reference 

 to the attached chart of sug^r prices during the past five years. Particular attention, 

 however, is drawn to the wide fluctuations in the price of sugar during the past three 

 years, since the opening of the war in 1914, from which it will be noted with interest that 

 whereas the uncertain conditions resulting from the war have been reflected m the wide 

 fluctuations in the price of sugar each year, it is nevertheless a fact that the average price 

 of sugar has been on a little higher level each succeeding year. • ^ ■ .,. 



It will be particularly interesting to watch the fluctuations in price during the ye^r 

 1917, in view of the large element of uncertainty which is still prevailing because of the 

 European war and to which the Cuban insurrection has contributed to no small extent.
