LIVERPOOL DEMAND FOR MOLASSES 



There is a fair demand in the Liverpool 

 district for molasses for stock feeding, but 

 the sales depend upon the season, the bulk 

 of the demand being in the winter, since 

 artificial feeding is not required in England 

 to the same extent in the summer months. 



Cuba is the chief furnisher of this article, 

 but no figures are available for the Port of 

 Liverpool. Statistics are, however, published 

 as to the imports from Cuba into the United 

 Kingdom as a whole, and the amounts in the 

 last two years, for which data are available, 

 were as follows: 



Imports of Cuban molasses for distillers' 

 use in the manufacture of spirits and food 

 for stock —

1912 1,358,151 hundredweight

DEATH OF ALFRED FREEMAN GRAY 



Mr Gray was born in 1856, and died June 1, 

 at his home in Port Washington, L. L 



He came as a clerk in 1870, at the age of 

 15 years, into the office of the firm of Willett 

 and Hamlen. In 1890, on the dissolution of 

 the firm of Willett and Hamlen, Mr. Gray, 

 who had by this time developed imusual 

 business ability, formed the partnership with 

 Mr. Willett, under the firm name of Wiilett 



and Gray, which continued with uninterrujjt- 

 ed confidence, good will and success until 

 1911, when the present three juniors members 

 were added to the firm. 



The funeral took place on June 3rd. 



The New York Sugar Trade, at a meeting 

 held June 2d, Mr. James H. Post presiding, 

 adopted suitable resolutions, expressing their 

 deep sense of personal loss in his untimely 

 death and appointing a committee to attend 

 the funeral. Mr Gray had been ill since 

 January 1. 



The business will be continued by the sur- 

 viving partners under the same firm name of 

 Willett and Gray. 



Since 1906 the very valuable analysis of the 

 sugar market appearing each month in this 

 magazine was an especial contribution from 

 Mr. Gray. It was liberally quoted by Cuban, 

 Mexican and other foreign publications. 



SUGAR AND THE RAILROADS 



Recently there has been a fair recovery in 

 United of Havanas, although earlier estimates 

 of the sugar crop will not be borne out. So 

 bright did the prospects appear not many 

 weeks ago that a crop of from 2,550,000 to 

 2,600,000 tons was confidently looked for, 

 against 2,430,000 tons in 1913, which was a 

 record. But the rainy season set in early, 

 and so heavy was the rainfall that not only 

 was there deterioration of the cane, but the 

 tracks over which the cane had to be conveyed
