information respecting the total quantity Of sugar
which may be expected from the present crop, and it
appears beyond doubt that the yield will be short of
the quantity anticipated both sides of the island

tatcs finished grinding two weeks since, and others
will soon have to follow their example.
Since the end of March, the exports from hence and
Matanzas have proceeded with considerable activity
and amounted at the middle Of this month to $4,000
