Our last report for this magazine was dated May 7, 1918. The market has been rather quiet during the period under review with all questions per- taining to sugar strictly under Government control, but there have been one or two items of interest which have transpired, the principal one of which having been the announcement of the International Sugar Committee on May 28th, 1918, that they had decided to take up the option in the Cuban Agreement in Paragraph 4, which expires June 15th, 1918.

The allotments of Cuban sugar during May totalled over 300,000 tons, but allotments up to date during June have not been so large as during the early days of May, and we hardly expect that June shipments will reach this quantity. The operation of German submarines along the coast will, if continued, likewise tend to hold back the exports from Cuba. Many of the sugar ships are old, at least one of those torpedoed recently has been carrying sugar for a great many years, and as these boats are most
