% FINANCIAL. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D BIG SUGAR SUPPLY ISNOW ASSURED Prices During Year Depend on Home Buying, Weather and Conditions Abroad. BY J. C. BOYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 30, sweet tooth of the American people probably not go uniilled during the current year. Preliminary indi- cations point to an adequate supply of sugar, according t the expert statisticlans of the trade, but no one undertaken to determine just what course the consuming public will follow. Whether the supply is adequate and whether the price will move within nurrow ranges depend upon the purchases of the American housewife as well as upon weather and other conditions here and abroad. The experts of the Federgl Sugar Refining Company estimate that there will be an excess supply of 425,000 tons available for this ccun- try in 1924. This estimate, however, 18 based on a consumption equal to that of 1923, Distribution of sugar last year did not increase at the same rate which prevailed from 1918 to 22 But the total amount con- sumed did rise above the 1922 level There is every-reason to believe that a normal increase will be shown in 1924, since the addition to population would account for a considerable ton- nage even if the individual citizens bought no more than last year. Increaned Supply Expected. The total distribution of sugar_in the United States in tons. But onsumption curtailed by the spectacular rise price of sugar early in the year. the amount bought last year, the fed- ral experts credit 1,096, 1 tons to lomestic beet and cane production and ,153 tons to supplies from insular sessions, Cuba_and other foreign countries. They base their estimate of a 425,000-ton surplus this year on anticipation that shipments fgom Cuba and other foreign countries, Hawali, the Philippines, Porto Rico and the YVirgin Is! will aggregate 4,110,600 tons of refined sugar. Taking the do- mestic beet and cane production of 1923 as a basis for the 1924 supply, this would fnsure a s over 1923 requirements of 42 How- ever, it is extrem doméstic heet and cane crops this year will be well in s of those of last year, as well as that consumption will be at a heavier rate than in 3. Beet Growers Proaperous. Beet sugar manufacturers growers have just ended a most prosperous vear. Steps already are being taken to cultivate much Jarger acreage to sugar beets the coming season. The Louisiana cane producers also sold their products at a satisfactory flgure and there |Is mall doubt that with normal weath- er conditions the domestic sugar pro- duction will show an increase, has and Weather n Cuba recently has been | favorabhle and the between 160 and grinding cane. Early forecasts by some ex- perts of the Cuban 1924 output place it somewhat above 3,800,000 tons. Predictions of the European sugar beet production for the season of 1923-24 range around 4.980,000 tons, or approximately 428,038 tons more than for son. Germany’s crop is_expe to reach only 1,125,000 tons. The most important increase Czechoslovakia, where an out- 000 tons is anticiapted, as compared with 726,172 tons last year. Supply to Fix Prices. The above facts, according to men in the sugar trade, will have a far greater bearing on the price and con- sumption of sugar in the country in the next 3 iy enforcement of rules or regulations for the con- duct of sugar exchanges such as were asked in the suit of the Department of Justice azainst the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange and de- nied by the United States Supreme Court.
