24 THE AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JOURNAL January, 1933 new wan not maintained and on the 13th prices again declined and there were reported a sale of am all quantities of Puerto Ricos at 2.89 cents c. i. f. and two parcels of Cub'is for prompt ship ment at 0.88 cent and 0.85 cent c. and f.. respectively. The American sugar market continued in a depressed mood during the latter half of the month, one discouraging feature being the offer ing in the eastern territories of beet whites at 3.95 cents which had a detrimental effect upon the refined market. Prices steadily declined in a dull and quiet market due in part to the Christmas holidays. At the end of the month the market was steady but with little business transacted at unchanged prices. In spite of the depleted stocks the refiners continued to remain on the sidelines. Sooner or later they will have to re-stock to meet their requirements, but with an ample supply of dutyfree sugar in eight, they are likely to continue their hand-to-mouth buying policy.

Exports of these two grades of sugar from the Philippines for the first two months of the current crop year 1932-1933 are as follows: Long Tons Centrifugals......................... 194,525 Refined................................. 11,191 Totai............................ 205,716 Java Market: According to information received from Java, the 1934 crop of Java is expected to be restricted drastically and indica tions are that it will probably not reach 500,000 tons. With this production, it is believed that the statistical position of Java will be balanced within a couple of years. Nature's Best Mineral Water In tlie Novemlier 25th issue <■( the Journal des Fabricants de Sucre. Pans, France, appears the following news item: ‘Am.-tenlam telegraphs tie rumour that HMI.OOO tons 1931 Muscovados have Ixrri sold at f. 3.50 per 100 kilos, f.<>.!> Java Ams terdam seemed quite pleased. Evidently the price is bail,—that is how the cable runs— but it is a solace to know that Java again get rid of another 100,OCX) tons.” The Javan Muscovado sugar is equivalent to our centrifugal sugar 96°. According to the above item, 100,000 tons of the 1931 Java Mus covado sugar were sold f.o.b. at f. 3.50 per 100 kilos. This is equivalent to Pl.77 per P. 1. picul on the basis of exchange at par.
