HAVANA, Monday, June Il
We beg reference to our Report Of 9Th inst
Since then the demand for SugBr has continued
very steady, while the supplies have been restrict
ed, although great facilities exist for bringing the
article to market and the state Of prices affords
good inducement for doing so. These facts, TO-
gether with the information received from different
parts of the country, render II certain that only
small quantity Of Sugar now remsiss. The stock
in the market il very much reduced, and IL 10
evident that the yield OF the crop will be consdera
bly, less than was anticipated at the beginning Of
the season
Much anxiety is felt and great degree Of uncer-
tainty exsts regard 10 the progress Of the Chole
ra in the interior OF the Island and as 70 its probable
effects upon the next and subsequent crops. This
disease ma: not yet become general but 1t continues
10 spre ad in various directions and its ravsges in
many cases have been appalling On several es-
tates the destruction Of life among the negroes
amounts to 25 and 80 per cent and In some cases
even 40 and so per cent. Of the whole number,
and the most efficient are generally the victims.
Should the disease diffuse itself throughout the
Island, the loss Of life among the slave opera
tives would in this ratio probably not be short
OF 100000 10 1850 Even at the present av-
erage rate of mortality on the estates the
estimates as TO the ultimate destruction Of life
among the negroes, in the event Of the epidemic
becoming &c neral throughout the interior, are not
less than 20 900 or 80 0O0 The period OF the year
i, unfortunately not favorable for checking the NAL
ady The sbore carried OF irrepsrable loss be-
cause ere 10 available al present from which
they replaced The loss falls heavily on The produc
ton Of Sugar that branch has already absorbed the
available lsbors prevo usly employed 10 the culture OF
Coffee tie yield OF which article has been Insignificant or
several years 1t appears therefore inevitable that the Su
gar crop Of will be seriously curtsed 10 guam

must make Itself felt before long. o. 81,
