prssngy large. The receipts of sugar for the year
ending August 81, lsi7, 10000 hhds, against
lS66ao the year previous; the receipts Of molasses
100000 gallons, against 9,oOo,o 900 the year pre-
vious; of hemp 1879 bales against $4,000
last year OF load 650,l29 pigs against 1884 the
previous yosr and Of cotton 1884 bales against

deficiencies Ia the supply have had corresponding
husnce upon prices and the aggregate value Of each
staple has been greater in proportion, but sufficient
