THE SUGAR INDUSTRY 



BEET SUGAR SEED IN GERMANY 



115,000 bags of sugar beet seed have been 

 purchased in Germany for American growers 

 at a cost of $635,000. This will insure the 

 success of the American crop of beet sugar 

 which was lilcely to suffer on account of the 

 European war. This purchase was made in 

 Rotterdam by the American representative 

 of interested companies who had the assist- 

 ance of the United States State and Agricul- 

 tural Departments. 



SUGAR TRADING IN NEW YORK. 



Trading in sugar futures on the New York 

 Coffee Exchange has become an important 

 feature in this market, and it is the behef of 

 those interested that future dealings ^\^ll be 

 on an extensive scale and that i)lanters, re- 

 finers, bankers, commission houses and whole- 

 sale grocers will avail themselves of the facili- 

 ties for enlarged buying and selling of sugar.

 ada since the outl^reak of the war. The ex- 

 portation of sugar from the Dominion of
