Santo Domingo Crop 



Predictions that the sugar crop in Santo 

 Domingo, like that in Cuba, would show 

 a material reduction below estimates are 

 being borne out by the production reports 

 of the mills which have finished grinding. 

 Two of the sixteen mills in operation ir 

 the country have already finished, both 

 with outturns much below expectations. 

 Central Porvenir, whose closing was pre- 

 viously reported, made 56,467 bags, against 

 an estimate of 75,000, and Central Italia 

 has now closed down with an outturn of 

 48,381 bags, against an estimate of 80,000, 



The shortage in Santo Domingo is at- 

 tributed to the same general conditions 

 that have affected the Cuban crop, of 

 which an insufficient rainfall is foremost. 



In the northern part of the republic 

 Central Bentz Hermanos, at Monte Llano. 

 is grinding after completing arrangements 

 with creditors. The cane crop here is also 

 short, and it is stated that the output of 

 this mill is unlikely to exceed 3,000 tons. 

 Bentz Hermanos has a grinding capacity of 

 600 tons of cane daily and is making in- 

 creased plantings for the 1923-24 crop.
