SUPPLIES OF RAW SUGAR.
DOMINION WANTS TO BE FILLED.
(SPECIAL TO "the pbess.") WELLINGTON, October 6. Good supplies of higher grades of raw sugar are now to be available for the Dominion, according to a statement made this morning by the President of the Board of Trade (the Hon. E. P. Lee). There were, he said, good supplies of raw sugar in Auckland, and this would enable a selection to be made, so as to distribute the best grades until they were able to put the refined article on the market. Ho did not anticipate being able to supply the consumer with any quantity of refined sugar for a month or six weeks, but tho shipping difficulty in regard to the supply of the raw grades was being overcome. In view of the fact that many of the manufactures could carry, on only with refined sugar, and that the stoppage of them threw a good many employees out of work, tho factories would"be supplied, and the general public asked to use unrefined sugar, in order to keop the works going.
