The Sugar Eefiners' Committee recently prepared some approximate 

 statistics for the Board of Trade as to the Sugar Production of the 

 ■world, '^\hich we reproduce; but as shipments are in most cases 

 the only data to be obtained, it must be recollected that the figures 

 given are far from representing the total production. This is espe- 

 cially the case with such countries as China, India, Central America, 

 Brazil, Peru, and Egypt.
