SUGAR FINANCE COMMITTED, 
By GrEoRGE LOGAN, 
FRANK C. Lowery, 
E. H. CostTetto, 
Representing the Committee. 
As will be shown by the foliowing table there is considerable quantity of sugar in 
Cuba which is outside of the committee’s control, and Mr. Himely, the Cuban expert, 
writes that previous to the date when the selling decree became effective the following 
companies had sold the number of bags of sugar opposite their name, these sugars 
consequently not being under control of the commission:

Meanwhile crop making in the Island continues in a satisfactory manner, although 
weather has been unsettled at times. One hundred and ninety-one factories are at 
work, and according to our special cable covering the crop up to February 28th, the 
production has reached the figure of 857,082 tons, which, however, is materially behind 
last year’s figure of 1,247,842 tons. 
In the United States a special session of Congress has been called for April 11th, 
and as both branches of Congress and the President are said to favor the passage 
of an Emergency Tariff Bill, it is more than likely that such bill will be introduced 
and passed promptly. The understood program is to pass the previous Emergency 
Bill which was vetoed by President Wilson, this bill including a duty of 2¢ per lb. 
for non-preferential countries and 1.60c per lb. for Cuban sugars of 96° test. 
Advices from beet growing countries in Hurope give no positive figures as to 
sowings for the next crop. Optimistic reports are being received from some sections 
of Europe, but an important increase over the sowings of last year is not likely. 
The following table gives the stock in the principal countries:
