The highest figures for the United States are for refined sugar, but raws constitute the bulk of im- 

 ports. In t lie figures for foreign countries (he smaller amount is for raw and the larger amount for 

 refined sugar. Most of the European countries pay an export bounty equal to from 27 to 64 cents per KM) 

 pounds, but these are offset for the United Slates by extra countervailing duties precisely similar in 

 amount, according to the Dingley act of July 27, '97. Bulgaria offers a bounty of 4 cents on every pound 

 of sugar produced therein for ten years in addition to a duty of 4 cents ver pound.
