have upon the forthcominn crops especially, and the
present, in part, in those neighbouring places where this
(now we may term epiderny) has prevailed ; added to this
is the very dry weather we are now experiencing, and by
all appearances we are likely to experience n- some
time to come—causing the extreme want of water to work
our plantations where water is used to prepare the cane—
at the same time we are not to count upon the supplies
now daily coming forward, to long continue; in the first
place, because planters have thrown all they could to the
market. to avail themselves of the present prices; and, in
the second place, on account of the dry weather which
must inevitably kill the cane, should this weather continue
we may almost consider the crop at an end the last days of
March; on the contrary, should heavy rains set in, we are
again frustrated by unpassable roads and the consequent
rot of the new cans through the sudden appearance of heavy
rains after so much dry weather. At the sailing of the last
R.M. steamer for Europe, we gave quotations for whites in
the one% 29880 to 49000, and browns 29300 to 29600, and
we rive them to-day, former 29850 to 39900, and latter 29450

quite clear as to the calm of the increase, as the tightness
of the money market at home and the bright prospects of a

judice generally against the rise, we however look forward
to January or February for a confirmation of our opinion,
