Ecuador, of yellow fover, has; relnrned to hlji post oftor a short vacation li thin country, going' by Key West anif i JWyaiM Is now practically frco vt , i in pervi no cases- - having been now p-s- T' many months. Dr. Connor spoke ffrms of tho hlfrhest. Tirnlfifl nf the cn. operation anoraed oy tho ijcuadorean GcjVettunent and people In reaching: this result Dr. Bocera; tho Director of Sani- tation, was nctlvo In tho work, and the property' owners-o- f tho-cit- y boro the ex- pense Incident to the cleanup cheer- fully Mid promptly. Tho system used by Dr. Connor whan health officer of Colon on the Panama Canal for ten year was modified' to,' wait conditions In Guayaquil, by screening water tanlcs and vessels In BUoK' a,' way that the stegomyla mos- quitoes coulil not eet to tho water to deposit their, tears and so tho breed died out Eventual Guayaquil win doubtless havo- - a complete pipe borne water and sewer nystepi, when the necessity of tanlcs will l obviated, as In Colon, but the results obtalnefl there are highly en-c- o waging' as showing what may bo done anywhere elso,. under similar conditions. Dr. Connor tsaya the commercial fu ture- - of Qunyaqulli Is now bright with this disease eUmlaated. The war de- pressed the Ectiudorean cacao trade and otherwise reacUU to the detriment of the country's tralo and Industry, but It . Is now on the mend and It Is believed that tho port wilt soon be on a boom. As Guayaquil, nex,C to Panama, was long the focus of endemic yellow fever the extermination of the plaguo from both of these places Is exiected to be followed before long by tho practical dtsappear-'nnc- e of the disease fitom the west coast of South America. Thero are a number ft New York In- terests favorably affectrttby this change for the better In tho commercial 'metrop- olis of Ecuador the Guayaquil and Quito Hallway; the South American De- velopment Company, with- - Its sold min- ing Industry at Porto Veio; tho big chocolate importing and manufacturing firms; the Panama hat Importers and makers; besides others Interested in seeking to extend trade anoVto open up business In tho country. Dr. Connor paid that the .climate of Guayaquil is delightful and that now with the feeling of security against the long standing menace of the ,plague the enjoyment or iiier in tho cay has token on now zest Travellers desirous\ of visiting the high Andean , mountains rouna yuuo who nau iormcny to v run tno gnnuei in uuayaquu may now make tho trip on tho transmontano rail way lino from Guayaquil in safety and comfort Dr. Connor's resumption of Ills post Is chiefly precautionary, as the fight has been won, but it Is desired to make sure that there Is no return of the former conditions.

The snme acute situation FACTOlt CItEmi,Sl??tedrm,ta..I\t' representatives Supply. tlons for at least tho remainder of thin season. Tho demand for sugar has not abated In the least, but, owing to tho re etrlcteJ supply, the Inquiry Is being only partly satlsflod, with many Industries ruffcrlng severely for want of sugnr, and virtually, all consumers are compelled to subsist on rations much below normal. \With this fooling of an open market next year tho American refiners have ehoiyn nn Increasing Interest In offering of next crop Cuban sugars. While for tho past month or so sale have been mostly on an f, o. b. Cuba basis,, latterly a largo percentage of tho sales have been made on a cost and freight basis. \At tho close of tho wook tho market was quiet with second half January available at 8 lie f. o. b.; first half Feb runry at 7 c. f. o. b. ; second half February nt \Ike. f. o. b., and April-Ma- y at 7 lie. f. o. b. \Tho Sugar Equalization Board, seek ing to alleviate tho sugar scarcity to as great nn extent as possible, recently ad- vised that they would permit tho Impor- tation of Cuban turblnados and Cuban refined ugur of .tho old crop Into tho Unllod States. But y other off- icial! issued a contrary ruling, and the week closes with tho trade awaiting further developments. ('Tho world's production of eugar, both cane and beet, for 1919-2- according to Wlllett & Gray's latest estimate, Is for a gtnnd total of 1(!,COO,000 tons, or approx imator 280,000 tons larger than the 1918-1- 9 production, Tho Cuban crap Is estimated at 4,300,000 tons, against 4,000,000 tons for 1918-1- 9. The total cano production of America Is estimated at 0,738,000 tons, or about 317,000. tons larger than last year. The world's cano production Is estimated at 12,2(1,000 tons, as compared with 11,965,000 tons last year. The total European beet pro. ductlon is estimated at 3,469,000 tons. with tho forecast for a total world's beet production of 4,339,000 tons.\ II. A. Hlmoly, under date of October Z7. comments as follows on the Cuban situation : \During the week the rain has dimin ished, but the temperature stilt continues abnormally high for this season of the year. Under the prevalent conditions the cano Is Increasing In tonnage, but Is practically not secreting sucrose, nnd the benefit received In tonnage will bo later found wanted In tho yield. If a change In tho weather conditions does not take place soon, with northerly winds nnd cooler weather. \Some centrals would llko to start If posslblo during tho latter part of Novem ber, either because they havo so much cano to grind, or because they want to be the first to attract the working hands, which will be scarce this year; again. because somo of thorn have sold sugar In advance for early delivery. This will prove unsatisfactory unless from now on wo havo cooler nnd drier weather, as the cane will be green and watery and tho result of grinding under thess conditions will be unprofitable.\ CHECK ON TUBERCULOSIS.

Tho, annual report ot the president of the Loagua of Caracas which has Just boon published brings to light the fact that as a result of the ravages of the Influenza epldemto the past year shown tho highest number of mortalities from pulmonary diseases of any year since 1907. Previous to tho foundation of tho league tuberculosis caused annually about 550 duaths In Caracas and In some years tho llgures nscended to COO. As a result of the efficient propaganda ot tho league In five years tho totals had fallen to 450 and In 1917 only 400 succumbed to tuberculosis.
