TASMANIAN SUGAR COMMISSION.
The Sugar Commission, which has finished its inquiries in Tasmania, found that the evidence collected in the Isle of Dreams onl;; confirmed the discoveries made elsewhere. The profits secured on sugar by merchants and «S5»Ws amounted practically to nil. Vo« average price paid to the Sydney Refinery Co. is £21 lGs. per ton f.o.b. Sydney, and as the company pays only £13 per ton for marketable sugar-cane, the difference represents the profits collared by this octopus, which can afford to * sell the article in New Zealand and London for about £17 pet ton. The price of Mauritius sugar, in bond at Hobart, is only £13 per ton, tho duty bringing tho amount up to £23.
