I heaper Sugar Likely.
These facts vvonltl seem to refute !
stories to Hit effect that a shnrlage j
of domestic sugar licet production |
"ould necessitate increased imports
from I’uha. In fad. the federal Sugar
Refining <’o.. which operates in Cuban
stigar, slates frankly that the rise in
the prices of Cuban raws cannot he
maintained.
The federal review of the sugar
situation says: "Cuhan interests have
succeeded in putting prices on a high
er basis after a determined effort, hut j
then is nothing in the refined sugar
situation to warrant paving the prices
s* Hers are asking Dtp the raw prod
uct. In view of the anticipated prob
oltle increase in competition from new
crop of domestic beet and foreign!
sugars, buyers are warranted in ail- j
hi ring to a conservative policy."
The Kuropean beet sugar crop con
tinues to have a favorable outlook.
The Czechoslovakian is expected to j
show a gain of It! to 4*> per cent over
that of last year factories are al- !
ready slicing in frame and Belgium. '
and the <:erinan plants are about to !
begin operations.
I.arge Crop in West.
In the infermountain West weather
conditions have been favorable for*j
harvesting the crop and factories will
begin turning out new sugar in quan- I
titles inside tin next two weeks-in;
Colorado, Nebraska. Wyoming. Utah
and Montana. The labor supply of all j
the districts in those states is report- 1
(• d to be satisfactory and a fair pro
portion of experienced men who have |
handled this crop before are return
ing for the harvest.
The Ureal Western Sugar Company j
states tlie acreage to be harvested by
that concern will be 10 per cent larger ]
titan in 1913. and it is unofficially es
timated that the sugar outturn of
the company will be between 7,250.000
and 7.500.000 bags. Acreage is larger, !
but the ton tinge per acre has been re
duced as a result of dry weather
Michigan railroads are preparing!
for an unusual demand for cars to ;
move the beet crop of that section, j
The beets are progressing in an un- j
usually satisfactory manner owing j
to the extraordinarily warm fall.
Acreage in Michigan is far higher j
than last year.
Nine sugar companies, owning 30
factories, chiefly in I’tab, Idaho.
Wyoming and Washington, will have
paid farmers $13,500,000 for beets of
the 1913 crop by the time the date for I
final settlement. October 15. is I
reached. The ftah crop this year,
however, is smaller than that of last |
season. New Mexico farmers near 1
Maxwell, who have just taken up the i
cultivation of sugar beets, will real- i
Ize about SIBO,OOO on their first year's i
crop from the planting of 1.100 acres. (
Louisiana refiners are cleaning up
preparatory to melting Louisiana new !
crop raws, but the Ixmisiana crop is (
short and little Louisiana sugar is j
available. {

VIRGINIA’S CROPS
IN POOR CONDITION

Less Cotton, Tobacco and

Work Unprecedented.

| HICHMONI), Va„ Hepternlior 31'.—
■ The aKTlfultural situation in Virginia
| is described as being eumpuratively
unfavorable in the monthly review is
sued here today by the Richmond
I Federal Reserve Bank.
"The cotton yield in the district
j is expected to be only 1.549.0 HM hales,
! eonipared with 1.899,1")" bales grown
!in 1923. and cotton prices are ap
; proximal el.v $25 a bale below the
< mid-September prices last year. The !
j situation in tobacco,” said Die re-|
; view, "is similar tbouglf less marked
lto cultun, this year’s yield in the
I itflb di-tiirt being forecast at 501,-1
| 387,000 pounds, in comparison with
: C2S 288.000 pounds raised last year. |
1 Tobacco prices appear to be running
i somewhat below tht averages in 192!!.
•‘Corn prospects arc exceedingly
popr, the diutrict'a crop being esti
mated at 124.520,000 bushels. In com
parison with 181,751,000 bushels gath
ered In 1*23. Corn prices are higher
than a year ago. but since most of
the corn Is consumed on the farms
where produced, the farmers will not
receive any material benefit from the
advance unless compensating gains
are made in hog and corn fed cattle
prices.
"The effects of this unfavorable
comparison in agricultural conditions
with those of a year ago are not as
serious us might he thought, how
ever, because last year the fifth dis
trict farmers gathered relatively
large crops of corn, cotton and to
bacco. ’and received good prices for
j the lust two.
Housing Shortage 11.-dueed.
"The first eight months of 1924
witnessed an unprecedented volume
of construction, and the work done in
1923 broke all previous records. As
a result of all this work, the shortage
of residences has been very material
ly reduced and the demand for office
and apartment buildings has been
met in most of the reporting centers.
There is still a shortage of moderate
priced dwellings, but construction of
I such buildings is not usually as prof
| liable as more ambitious projeets.
' There is also need in most cities for
additional warehouses, and there
' seems to lie no limit to the demand
| for private garages." /
