Del extranjero hay poco que sea de interes. En Ingiaterra se ha reducido la 

 racion de azucar provisionalmente a 6 onzas per persona a la semana a causa de la 

 huelga de los carboneros. Xuestros corresponsales en Alemania nos informan que el 

 estado de la cosecha de remolacha es muy favorable por termino medio, la unica 

 preocupacion siendo la escasez de carbon. El Gobierno aleman ha anunciado que las 

 restricciones acerca del negocio del azucar seran abrogadas en el otono de 1921. 

 Informes de Czecho-Slovakia comunican que la perspectiva de la cosecha continua 

 favorable, a pesar de que el tiempo durante las ultimas semanas no ha sido como 

 debia ser. A causa de esto es probable que la produccion de azucar sea mas bien 

 cerca de 750,000 toneladas de azucar crudo que las 800,000 toneladas calculadas 

 anteriormente.

SUGAR MILL TRANSACTIONS 

 Mr. H. O. Neville in Facts About Sugar, 

 writes as follows : 



Transactions of greater or less magni- 

 tude in sugar properties continue. Reports 

 of the sale of Central Lincoln persist, but 

 without details as to the purchasers. The 

 price stated in the latest reports is 

 $2,700,000. 



Changes in the ownership of Central 

 Patricio are also reported by Avhieh, 

 through purchase of the interest of the 

 other shareholders in the Central Patricio 

 Company. Sr. Domingo Nazabal, former- 

 ly manager of Patricio, becomes sole 

 owner. The company has been dissolved, 

 Sr. Nazabel assuming all its assets and 

 liabilities. 



Transfer of Central Cabaiguan to the 

 Eden Sugar Company has been formally 

 completed by the delivery to the former 

 owners, in the name of the purchasing 

 company, of a check for $1,000,000 in ad- 

 dition to the $500,000 paid down when the 

 option on the property was taken. This 

 makes a cash total paid of $1,500,000, with 

 a balance of $1,000,000 of the purchase 

 price remaining as a mortgage on the 

 property, drawing interest at 7 per cent. 

 Sale of the Hoyo Caiman colonia, com- 

 posed of about 32 caballerias of land in 

 the mimicipality of Ciego de Avila, by 

 Juan P. Rivera to Francisco Ricart of 

 New York is reported. The price paid 

 was $250,000 casli. Tliis colonia, cane 



from which is delivered to Central Jague- 

 yal, is expected to produce about 1,600,000 

 arrobas in the coming crop. 



Of the new propositions reported 

 recently, one is for the building by 

 a company known as the Santa Cruz 

 Sugar Company of a mill about twelve 

 kilometers from Santa Cruz del Svir, in 

 Camaguey. The company is stated to 

 have a paid-in capitalization of $6,000,000, 

 its officers being Ramon Rodriguez Labra- 

 da, president ; Domingo Xazabal, vice- 

 president ; Jacinto Restoy, treasurer ; .Jose 

 Garcia, secretary, and Manuel Diaz, Juan 

 Busquet, Wanfredo Rodriguez and 

 Thomas P. Camacho, directors. Tlie mill 

 will be called "Isabel Rosa," and will have 

 a capacity of 300,000 bags annually. It 

 is to be completed for the 1921-22 crop. 



Another company, to be known as the 

 Cuban Svigar Company, has been organ- 

 ized with a capital of $3,500,000 to build 

 a mill near Jiguani, Oriente Province, to 

 be called Central Margarita, and to have 

 a capacity of 150,000 bags. The president 

 of the company is Angelo Balas. It is 

 reported that the mill is to be in opera- 

 tion during the coming crop, but this 

 seems improbable. 



Preliminary steps toward the forma- 

 tion of a company at Holguin, Oriente, 

 for the purpose of building a mill to be 

 called Central Holguin, are also reported. 

 Among those interested are said to be
