The acting British Consul at 150.00 Shimonoseki (Mr. M. Paske Smith) 100.00 reports that an experimental ship 100.00 mont of 5,500 tons of raw sugar 100.00 arrived at Moji from Cuba, to the 100.00 order of the Mitsui Company. The
demand for raw sugar la China 100:00 han caused groat sotivity in the 100.00 Japanese sugar refining industry 100.00 of late years, and the refineries at 100.00 Moji and Osaka have obtained a
large share of the trade, especially 100.00 in the lower grades. This is the 100.00 first appearance of Cuban sugar 100.00 in Japan, as hitherto all the sugar 100.00 required for refining has been
imported from Formosa, Jars and 100.00 the Philippines. The Cuban
growers are understood to be 100.00 trying to find fresh markets, part-
ly on account of the bumper crop 100.00 which was gathered last season
and partly in an endeavour to 100.00 break away from the control of the American Sugar Trust. The 100.00 opening of the Panama Canal, too,
will shorted the distance by one 100.00 half for vessels trading between
Cuba and Japan.
