work out to Y 1.143 per 100 kin of sugar.
Now under the old system of passing sugar over
No.8 standard as under No.8, an unfair advantage of
Y 2.50 per 100 kin was obtained; supposing therefore
that this system was in vogue to any great extent the
sugar industry would lose the difference between
Y.2.50 and Y.1.143 on every 100 kin that was improperly
classified.
If, however, the rate on sugar under Dutch
Standard No.15 is reduced from Y 5.50 to Y 5, the 50
sen thus saved would make the net loss per 100 kin
only .857 sen.
Taking this for granted the press calculates that
the mills will still make an average profit of Y 2.50
per 100 kin.
For next year it is stated the production of
Formosan sugar will amount to more than 1 million
