CUBA S SUGAR PROGRESS 



Sugar authorities predict that within three 

 or four years Cuba will produce 3,000,000 

 tons of sugar. In 1888 the crop was 560,000 

 tons, and in 1912-13 it had advanced 2,250,- 

 000 tons. The increase of 400 per cent has 

 come since the Spanish regime, under which 

 at its lowest in 1896 only 212,000 tons were 

 produced. From 1897 to 1899 the crop 

 averaged 300,000 tons. The old regime, in- 

 capable of preserving public order and pro- 

 tecting life and property, was not a field for 



investment of capital on an expanding scale. 

 Meanwhile American insurance has made of 

 that island the chief sugar producing unit in 

 the cane-growing world. Spanish, Cuban, 

 American and German planters vie with 

 each other in developing Cuba's sugar pos- 

 sibilities. — Wall Street Journal.

REFUSE MOLASSES FOR MOBILE 



The information that Mobile is to be a 

 distributing and importing point for refuse 

 molasses from Cuba, which is used in the 

 manufacture of horse and cattle feeds, if 

 correct, should be a cheering note in the 

 general upward trend the affairs of the 

 city as a manufacturing and importing 

 center have taken of late, says the Mobile 

 Register. 



Central "Preston" on Nipe Bay to July 

 30th, had produced 386,450 bags. 



Central "Boston" to July 31st had made 

 336,696 bags. 



Up to the same day "Santa Lucia's" pro- 

 duction was 171,232 bags.
