From the French technical journal, Le Jour- 

 nal des Fabricantes de Sucre. It will be seen the 

 world's production has increased from less than 

 5,000,000 tons 10 years ago, to nearly 8,000,000 tons in 

 the season of 1894-95. The falling off since the date 

 last named is due in part to the crop disturb- 

 ance in Cuba.
