THE SUGAK INDUSTRY.
DIFFICULT CRISIS IN JAPAN. The sugar-refining industry in Japan is pas sing through a difficult crisis, reports the Japan Chronicle. As will be remembered, a few months ago the three sugar-refining companies the Dai Nippon, Yokebama, and Kobe Ro fining-which were suffering from over-produc. tion agreed among themselves to restrict their output with the object of maintaising the mar ket. The action, however, proved a little such in that direction owing to the falling of ol consumption. For one month the total output of the three companies was restelet only to 279,000 bags, the minimum agreed Subsequently the outpot was upon. daced every month below that minimum until the production was limited to half the amount produced whas the mills ware in full operation. But there duction in the outpot has done little or nothing to improve the market, which is still being rapidly congested with stock. Accordingly, the three companies have now agreed among themselves to suspend operatione altogather for this and next month, expecting that the de mand for the new year's trade will clear the copgested stock.
