London, Jan. 12.
A meeting of the International Sugar Council opened in London today, for the purpose of considering the statistical position following the Agreement signed last July, and estimates of the world's requirements, as set off against the world's quotas. The position is complicated by a shortage, amounting to 100,000 to 120,000 tons of beet sugar in England.
It is expected that one of the chief questions to be considered at the Conference will be the extra amount required for the sugar market in Great Britain.—Reuter.
