Since the commencement of the making of the European beet crop the weather has not always been favorable and is at present reported unfavorable for crop making.

Also the Balkan war, if it involves other countries and withdraws laborers from the farms, may have the effect of reducing the beet sowing for another season. Altogether it does not seem likely that sugar will decline much, if any, below its cost of production in either beet or cane producing countries during this campaign. The Democratic Party now in full control of the president and both Houses of Congress will unquestionably make a marked decrease in sugar duties (but not free of all duty, as we understand it) and this will tend to increase consumption in this country to a consid- erable extent.

New York, November 13, 1912. REVISTA AZUCARERA Escrita expresamente para la Cuba Review por Willett & Gray, de Nueva York Nuestra ultima revista para esta jjublicacion estaba fechada el 9 de octubre de 1912. En aquella fecha la cotizacion del azucar centrifuga polarizacion 96° era la libra. La cotizacion al presente es la libra, que es el punto mas bajo durante todo ese periodo. Esta pequena baja es debida a las limitadas existencias de azucar y escosa usual en esta estacion entre una y otra cisecha. La llegada al mercado del azucar de cafia de la Luisiana no mejoro la situacion de la manera acostumbrada, pues esta zafra es muy pequena, alcanzando escasamente 200,000 toneladas, contra 316,000 toneladas el ano pasado. La zafra de azucar de remolacha del pais, que consiste de azucar refinada y no de MAQUINA
