TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1924. WASHINGTON, April 8.—A rec- ord world sugar crop is forecast in reports received by the department of agriculture, indicating a produc- tion of 21,600,000 short tons this year as compared with 20,400,000 short tons Jast year and the pre- vious record crop of 21,000,000 short tons in 1913-14. This year’s forecast indicates a cane production of 71 per cent and a sugar beet production of 29 per cent whereas in 1913,14 nearly 50 per cent of the total supply was beet sugar of which more than 90 per cent was of, European origin. Cane sugar production increased rapidly during and after the war to compensate for the decreased beet sugar production in Central Europe. European countries, the department says, are expected to attempt to re- sain their pre-war position in sugar ‘production, but there is no indica- tion of any intention of cane sugar producers to give up the dominant position in the World sugar market which they have attained in the last ten years. Consequently, agri- cultural officials say, sharp com- petition for markets is to be expect- ed within the next few years be- tween producers of cane and beet sugar, Beet sugar production this year is expected to be about 6,200,000 tons; the Cuban crop of cane sugar is forecast at 4,271,000 tons. The Louisiana crop is short but is more than offset by the larger beet sugar production of Continental United States. CITY BRIEFS A. T, Ricker and A. 8.
