From tlu' above taltle it will he simmi Dial llic niaxiuuini acreage planted this cam

 «i7!t,s-JL' acres. 



r.asinji our estimate on the nnnimum ti^iiu'e of iiL'.-i.dC)! acres from which liiere is 

 liki'ly to he a further ahaiulonment of at least lO'/r, and usin^' a fieneral averajie hjisis 

 for the whole country for a innnher of years, we estimate the outturn of suirar likely 

 to he realized at sr.t»,(Mi(> tons of li,L'4() Ihs. It nnist of course he understood that this 

 estimate is liased on a contimiance of tlu- jire.sent generally favorahle conditions exist- 

 ing, and if s;niie are maintained throughout the season, a maleri.-il increase over this 

 figure could he looked for. 



The total outturn of sugar in I'.U'.M'n was <i.".2.!)."iT Ions against (;T4.s!t2 tons in 

 lOls-lh. The largest outturn reached was in 19ir>-lti when TTO.Toti tons of sugar were 

 produced. A iiroduction of S;.".ri,(tOO tons this season will mean an increase over last 

 year of .'50%. 



Of th" 101 factories incliidi'd in Hi" ahove i-eport. iirohably liiree will not oierate, 

 hut the lieets trihiit<»ry to them will he sliced at other ne.arhy jilants. 



Wc-ither conditions in the itrincijial heet growing states nia.v he siimniarized 

 ahout as follows. In ( >hio. the weather was dry early in the Spring, hut this con- 

 dition was overcome and at the jiresent time the crop is in an excellent state. The 

 latter applies to Michigan, from which quarter reports aic very promising, although 

 some shortage of lahor has h(>en reported. Thinning is well undei- way. Weather in 

 Wisconsin early in the season was cold and dry, hut later on good rains fell and the 

 stand of heets is now very good, although cultivation is needed. Tn Nebraska the 

 growth was retarded diuMng the Spring hy the uiil'avoral)le weather, Init the situation 

 has n-cently showed coiisiderahle improveuienl. I'lanting was delayed in Colorado 

 hy tlie unfavorahle weather and the snow, and in some sei-tions of the State the crop 

 is ahout two weeks late, hut. nevertheless, same is at iiresent in excellent condition 

 considering the season, and a normal yield is ex|)^cte(l. Thimung is practically coin- 

 I)leti'd. There has heen some local damage hy worms. In T'tah weather during the 

 early Sorim: was g<'n.>rally f.-ivoi'ahle. althotigh in some sections of the State there 

 was excessive rainfall and the croj. is slightly backward. Present conditions, how- 

 ever, are very satisfactory, and thimung is from (W/r to ;»(K/^ comi)leted in most cases, 

 and enrirly fini.shtMl in others. In Wyoming the weather this Si»ring was cold and 

 the crop was consequently backward, but improvement is being shown daily and con- 

 ditions are now understood to he ahout normal with a good stand of beets. In Wash- 

 ington the acreage contracte<l this season has heen disappointing, and of the three 

 fa<tories in the State at least one will not operate. In California a ma.1ority of the 

 factori's report dry weather during the Si)ring with not enough rain, hut in sections 

 wliere irrigation has heen applied conditions are generally satisfactory. In other 

 quarters the crop is perhaps SO-^/, normal. There have been some difficulties with regard 

 to l;bor. hut prospects generally are good, although, of course, the reduction in the 

 luimher of factories ojjerating will have its effect on the tiiial outturn in the State. 

 Oidy 11 are exi)ecte<l to work. 



It is interesting to note the sale of the W. .1. McCahaii Sugar Refining Company 

 in Philadeliihia to the Czarnikow-Rionda Comi.any, although the latter concern will 

 not take over the management until next year. 



Our cable from the Philippine Islands, received on July l.">th, rejiorted exports to 

 the United States Atlantic ports for tli.- month of June, 40.00f> tons, and to San Fran- 

 cisco, 2.000 tons. Our advices from Java reinn-t exports during the same month of 

 17.000 tons, probably to the Atlantic ports.
