32 THE CUBA REVIEW 



the Cuba ciDp, as inciitioiiod al>ove, there will naturally be less siipars to be dis- 

 tributed from now until new erop Cnl)as are obtainable. A Distributing C'oiiiniittee 

 had been formed by the Sugar Equalization Board to distribute the remaining sup- 

 plies of refined sugar and after elaborate calculations they arrived at a certain dis- 

 tribution, but owing to the reduction in the size of the Cuba crop these figures have 

 again had to be readjusted. In the meantime it is very dillicult to obtain any sugars 

 for hous«'hold use. The manufacturers, however, have bet-n purchasing sugars from 

 Brazil, Peru, Cuba and Porto liico, what are known as Wliite Raws, and these sugars 

 are now arriving in fair volume and naturally lidp out the situation.
