sentatives. The Department of Commerce and Labor last July sent to every consul of 

 the United States in every sugar-producing country of the world, a request for prices 

 and conditions relating to sugar in each of those countries. These reports, now at hand, 

 show that the almost universal systems for collecting revenues by those countries are 

 to tax every pound of sugar that goes into consumption. This method varies materially 

 from that in operation in the United States, where virtually only the sugars produced 

 in Cuba pay revenue to the government. A revision of the tariff in this respect, pro- 

 viding in addition to customs duties an international revenue tax upon all the sugars 

 going into consumption is now proposed, and appears to meet with favor. A tariff bill 

 along these Hues is quite likely to be given to the House of Representatives within a 

 very few weeks. Such a bill will reduce the duties on Cuban sugars possibly about 

 %c. per pound, and maintaining at the same time the reciprocity difference of 20 per cent 

 below the duties assessed on sugars from foreign countries. 



The market at the close hesitates at 3%c. c. & f., equal to 4.735c. per pound, duty 

 paid, on account of the weakening of the European market. 



Refined sugars have been in active demand following the course of the raw market. 

 Granulated is now quoted at 5.70c. less 2 per cent by all refiners.

GREAT SUMS FOR ADVERTISING 



The California Fruit Growers' Exchange 

 will spend in 1912 $150,000, as against 

 $100,000 in 1911, for advertising the citrus 

 fruit of its members and thus increase sales 

 all over the country. An effort is made 

 to concentrate as much of the sale as pos- 

 sible on the product of Exchange members 

 by giving premiums of silverware, such as 

 spoons, knives or forks, in return for 

 orange wrappers bearing their brands. This 

 department has been so successful and has 

 increased to such an extent that the Ex- 

 change is now said to be the largest pur- 

 chaser of flat silverware in the world.—
