THE CUBA REVIEW 



STORING SUGAR SAFEST WAY 



i Editorial in titc Louisiana Planter) 



We have repeatedly stated the safest way 

 is to hold the sugars and the proper way 

 is to hold them in warehouses on the plan- 

 tation, the warehouses perhaps somewhat 

 detached say a hundred feet away from the 

 sugar factory. Sugars in such a position 

 can be financed very readily. The ware- 

 housing under these conditions with mod- 

 ern devices for handling such as portable 

 elevators and hanging railways and other 

 labor-saving devices will cut the labor ex- 

 penses down to a minimum and the feeling 

 of independence engendered in the owners 

 will make them hang on to their sugars 

 until they can get satisfactory prices. 



We trust that our friends in the Cul)an 

 Agrarian League will not forget that they 

 should endeavor to establish a future mar- 

 ket for sugars in Cuba. In Hamburg and 

 in London sugars are sold in that way 

 every day in the year and the -gradually 

 increasing price of sugar ^ month after 

 month represents the cOst of storing, of in- 

 surance and of interest on the, money in- 

 vested in the sugar. In this way the world's' 

 value can be secured for. the Cuban sugar 

 crop and so far as we can judge the true, 

 proper and world's value for sugars cannot 

 be secured in any other way than by some 

 one of these safe methods that have thus 

 far been suggested by us. Another method 

 is suggested by the Agrarian League in 

 Cuba which is to have the sugars sold by 

 a single agency. Where there are such a 

 number of parties interested in sugar manu- 

 facture as in Cuba with varying judgment 

 as to the expediency of selling and with 

 varying necessities for closing out their 

 sugars, such a selling agency, while pos- 

 sible, would not seem very likely of accom- 

 plishment. We notice that even the Xew 

 York combination, that generally agrees 

 upon a definite price, does not have a single 

 selling agency. The single selling agency 

 has some of the odium attaching to it that 

 has the single buying agency. If ware- 

 housing and financing could be accom- 

 plished, and we have every reason to be- 

 lieve that both of these incidents can be 

 accomplished, the sugar producer would be 

 placed in an incomparably stronger posi- 

 tion than now and the buyers from Europe 

 would be on the spot just as they were 

 before the days of the reciprocity treaty, 

 ready to take any sugar that looked tempt- 

 ing to them.
