SUGAR REVIEW 



Specially Written for The Cuba Review by Willett & Gray, of New York 



Our last review for this magazine was dated November 14th. 



At that time, centrifugals of 9G test were quoted at 5.12c. per lb. and are now 4.87oc. 

 per lb., showing a decline of 0.245c. per lb. The decline is the natural coming together 

 of the scarce supply period and the new crop sugars of Cuba and Porto Rico. First 

 sales of these sugars to our refiners have been made this week at 3 7-16c. c. & f. (4.80c. 

 duty paid) for December or 3%c. c. & f. for first half January, and these prices would 

 now be readily paid, but planters do not seem desirous of selling freely until assured 

 that their grinding season is really on. 



European markets have gone steadily downward during the time under review, the 

 fluctuations running as follows: From 16s. ll%.d. to 16s. 6 -/id., to 16s. sVid., to 16s. 5^d., 

 to 16s. 6d., to 16s. 3%d., to 16s., to 16s. 3%d., to 15s. 11 ^Ad. at the close for December 

 delivery with corresponding changes for other months, the close being Ifis. for January 

 and 16s. 3d. for May futures. 



The declining trend of Europe cannot be traced to any change in the beet crop con- 

 ditions abroad, but rather to the fact that Russia has surplus stocks of sugar to meet 

 the deficiency in crops to some extent if only a means of getting it out of Russia and 

 into Europe can be diversed without surrendering the neutral relations of the Brussels 

 Convention members for the extension of this convention after its present expiration 

 in September, 1913. 



Russia asks permission to export 600,000 tons sugar this campaign instead of 20(i,()00 

 tons, the present limit, and while Germany, France and other countries object to any 

 change, Great Britain is inclined to withdraw if Russia's demand is not complied with. 

 It is notable that Great Britain received some 774,000 tons of sugar from Germany 



El unico colector del agua de condensacion con una 



vdlvula exterior que carece de prensaestopas que tengan 



escape, se adhieran 6 hayan de empaquetarse 



COLECTOR DEL AGUA DE CONDEN- 

 SACION "LYTTON" PARA TACHOS 

 AL VACiO que de seguro aumenta el 

 rendimiento de los tachos 



LOS COLECTORES "LYTTON" PARA TACHOS 

 AL VACIO extraen rapidamente el agua de la condensa- 

 cion y hacen mucho mayor la eficacia evaporadora de 

 los tachos al vacio. Cuando se empleen distintas pre- 

 siones del vapor, los serpentines calentadores pueden 

 mantenerse exentos de agua y obtenerse un extraordinario 

 mayor rendimiento asignando un colector separado a cada 

 serpentin. (Vease el grabado.) 



La superioridad de los COLECTORES "LYTTON" 

 PARA TACHOS AL VACIO esta en la seguridad y 

 eficacia de su funcionamiento y a la poco atencion que 

 requieren para mantenerlos en buen estado. Estan con- 

 sistentemente construidos y tienen solo una pieza mp- 

 vible: el flotador en su interior. El detalle que mas 

 los distingue, sin embargo, es que no tienen prensaestopas 

 que se escapen, se adhieran 6 hayan de empaquetarse. 

 Extraen TODA EL AGUA CONSTANTEMENTE de la 

 mejor manera y del modo menos molesto.
