EXPORTING IS CONTINUED There Is plenty of raw susar In Cuba to meet all demnnds. but the s marine workers' strike lias tied up the transportation of It to such an extent that the refineries in this country are confronted with a ferlous shortage. Offlcinls of Vi. J. McCahan biiRar ice- , fintnir Coinoany. Front and Chestnut ' streets, say that this shortage to date has been fisupred to be equal to ouc week's supply and that this deficiency will hit the refineries some time In the month of August. At present the refinerin nro nil oversold. The brokers have nil been buying at once, and while they were urged, according to the l'emmlwinia Sugar Company, to make their pur chases last April and May, the de layed. As a means of helplug the situation, all available ships nt sea have been reached by wireless, and ordered to proceed to Cuba and tnke on a cargo of sugar before milking an American port. Cuba's sugar crop this year of 4.000, 000 tons is the largest in history. In 1018 41 per cent of thp total supply for the United States enme from Cuba. J. II. Houston Company, Inc.. sugar brokers in the old Stock Exchange building, declare that export ing of refined sugar is heavy, despite the government's recent injunction on foreign shipments. This injunction only applies to the acceptance of new or ders, tho contracts now standing not having been canceled. The war supply of 37,000.000 pounds of sugar, which the government re leased a short time ago. is inconsiderable toward meeting the demand when the average daily consumption in this country is equal to half of that amiuiit. And during the first six months of this year the averngc consumption per capita increased almost 10 per cent. For the first bIi months in 1010 it was forty-sbc pounds ugaiust fortj-tuo for the same period in 1018.. The Spreckels Sugar Refining Com pany takes care of the demand for Philadelphia and vicinity, while the American Sugar Itetiuing Company's plant melts the sugar for export. It was said today that this latter plant I had closed down for the present, but the' officials of thp FrnnkHn Knpnr 7li fining Company, which controls both of these plants, did not wish to discuss the situation. The wholesale grocers here report that they are able to fill only two thlrds of their orders. They sny that there is a prevalent fear of a sugar shortnge, causing a hoarding on the 'part of the consumer. This bujiug of sugar by the. consumer in larger quan tities thnn usual may be explained bj the arrival of the canning and preserving BAflVAn Al Aflf Annl A 1 A w 4 n pal CTint a a l utaouut 4iiuji wcuijit; itxj u a ouiui-iruii Bupply ahead of time so as to be pre- pared, not knowing at exactly what ! time the fruit may be ready. Some re-1 tail grocers will not fcell more than two pounds to n consumer nt n time. The Increase in the use of sugar for the manufacture of soft drinks has not as yet been felt to any great extent. There may be a slight increase in the retail price of sugar, or in what is called belling it second hand, but there can be no marked increase in spite of the shortage, because the government still regulates the refiners' and bro kers prices.
