. Something about sugar; its history, growth, manufacture and distribution . of ninety-six-degree raw sugarin refining: Water, which is eliminated .70 per cent Non-sugar, which is eliminated loss, undetermined -75 Sucrose left in molasses Sucrose extracted in granulated form 93-50 Raw sugar melted The undetermined loss includes every loss from the time theraw sugar is weighed into the warehouse until the granulatedarticle is sold to the buyer. It is evident, therefore, that one ofthe principal items of refining cost is the actual loss of weightin converting raw into refined sugar. Assuming that the rawsugar costs four cents per pound, the refiner has lost on eachone hundred pounds melted, four cents X 6>4 pounds, or twen-ty-six cents, less the small value of the resulting molasses. Ifthe raw sugar cost six cents, the loss would be thirty-nine four cents, the loss is equivalent to $ per ton, or, in thecase of a refinery melting two million pounds of raw sugardaily, $5, for each working day. This does not include any.
