The Sugar Crop Of 1a5o--51.
| From the n. O. Bulletin.

at the commencement of the year it was
generally anticipated that the crop of Sugar
, would be equal to that of l6i9-5O, which was
computed to be 247,923 hhds. Had the sea-
son been equally favorable, 4 large increase
might have been expected, from extended cul-
tvation, and the increased number of Sugar
houses, and improved machinery; but in tho
early part of the season the growth Of the Cane
was retarded by cold and rainy weather, to-
wards the close great Inconvenience was expe-
ricnced from the long continued draught, and
it was estimated that about 10000 hhds were
cut off by Crevasses; but it was supposed that
these untayorable influences would be coun-
terbalanccd by the causes We have referred to,
tor increased production, and that yield
might still be expected Of about 100000 hhds.
The crop of the previous year added to the es-
mated losses by Crevasses, ETC., makes an ag-
gregate Of about 100000 hhds, showing that
with an auspicious season, under exemption
from disastrous casualties, and with produc-
ton stimulated by remuneratng prices, the
State possesses, with its present extent of cul-
tivation, productive capacity to that amount.
The result OF the past season, however, shows
clearly the precarous nature of the culture.
Frost occurred on the nights of the 25th Octo-
Der, the 10Th and 10th November, and the 7th
and 9Th December. The first was slight, but
nevertheless did great injury to the plant in
exposed situations, and the last was the seye-
rest on record. All the standing Cane was
destroyed and the windrowed suffered severely.
The great injury from these frosts may be seen
in the diminished yield, which, instead of ex-
hibiting an aggregate of25O,o0O hhds, amounts
to only q ,2o3 hhds, Q84,372 Of Brown, and
26,S3l of Refined, Clarified, etc., showing a
falling off from the previous year of So ,72O
hhds, or $4,000 to 10000 hhds less than the
supposed productive capacity of the State.
The actual or estimated yield for the last ten

This material falling off in the supply, in the
face of a progressive increase in the demand
from rapidly augmenting population, would
seem to have furnished good reason to antici-
pate high range of prices throughout the
season. How far these anticpations have been
realized, will be seen from the following de.
tails.
The ruling rates for Fair at the close of last
year were 81 a &c. The stock being nearly ex.
hausted by the latter part of the month, hold
ers were enabled to establish an advance of
4c., after which there was a further improve
ment to the same extent, and the supply was
gradually closed off in October at st 7c. for
Fair to Choice. The first hid of the new crop
was received on the 4th of October, seven
days earlier than in l849, but the drought, to
which we have referred, retarded the growth
Of the Cane, while the want of water for their
steam mills prevented planters from grinding
even when they were otherwise ready, and
there were no further receipts until the nth,
when 2 hhds more arrived, and were sold at
&c. Thus, to this date, only hhds of the new
crop had been received, against 100 up to the
CORES spending date in lS49. The receipts
continued extremely light in October, but as
they came forward more freely, prices, settled
down by the close of the month 10 81 q &c. for
Fair TO Prime. As the supply became more
liberal the market continued to give way, and
by the middle ct November Fair had declined
to Al q 5 c., but subsequently rallied, and ruled
for the balance of the month s a BIC Owing
to the light supplies, the market had exhibited
but little activity in September and October,
the sales of the two months not exceeding 1000
hhds, but in November the demand became
more animated, and the business Of the month
comprised nearly 10000 hhds The receipts,
in round numbers, embraced $50 hhds in Sep
tember, (against 1900 in ls49) 700 in Octo.
Der against 1900 and 1850 in November,
against 14,5oo,) making an aggregate for the
quarter of $4,000 hhds, against 1880 in the
corresponding period of l84o. Early in De-
cember prices gave way &C., but the demand
continued lively throughout the month, and at
| the close the market had fully recovered its
previous position, subsequently to WHICH the
business was still more in favor of sellers. and
during the early part of January, Fair ruled
at 81 a SIC, but yielding to increased sup
plies, receded in January, and was quoted at
the close Of that month at a 53e, which, with
some slight variations, continued to be the ru.
ling rates until near the end Of February.
