SUGAR SHORTAGE.
Suddenly the nation realizes th a t it is
short of sugar. T he refiners have
finished the ir raw product a n d the
m a rk e t waits for the product of the A m
erican soil—the beet sugar w hich will
be tu rn e d upon t lie m a rk e t to relieve the
distress just as soon as the beats are de
livered to th e factory in such q u a n tity
as w ill insure a supply large enough to
keep th e mills going w ithout s h u t
downs.
Sugar factories are so constituted th a t
they must ru n day and night, every day
in the week, after they once begin the
campaign, w h e n a factory shuts down,
a great expense follows, and this e x
pense th e factory m anagers aim to
avoid.
There are n u m e r o u s ' beet sugar fee-
tories in th e east and will therelore cut
a big figure in supplying the dem and
and spoiling the famine. The sooner
they commence work, the quicker will
th e shortage disappear.
