4BThe New Orleans Price Current, of the
LIST September, gives its annual report of the
leading markets Of that Southern metropolis
The report Of the sugar products is very I'M
favorable, The year 1858 was the year of the
greatest product as to quantity, and the year
1854 as to value, namely.

| With respecl to this years sugar crop, the
New Orleans Price Current says:
The coming crop will doubtless be the shor-
test, in proportion to the extent of ground cult
waited, that has occurred since 1876, when the
/ yield was estimated at 80, 900 hogsheads. There
has been gradual changing, for some years
past, from the sugar culture 70 that of cotton,
! for we find by Mr.. Cliampomier's statements
that ia 1852 there were l. 4S1 sugar houses, in
lls55 the number had been reduced to 1888
showing a decrease in three years of lS2. " e
also know that there has been a further matcri-
al decrease this year but the great falling off in
the crop is referabe to the damage from there
marlable continuance OF cold and wet weather
during the past winter, by which the rattoons
| or stubbles were almost entirely destroyed, as
well as much Of the plant cane, before or after
lplanting. Under these circumstances some
| planters ploughed up their fields and planted
corn or c5tton, or both. and will have no cane---
Others will perhaps make enough to replant for
another crop, while some, having light soil, or
well-draincd lands, and having been tilvored by
seasonable showers, may approach a lar average.
These will have an excess OF cane beyond their
requirements for planting, bat whether they
will sell from their excess, to those wanting
plants instead of making sugar, and to what
extent, We have no means of estimating.
At all events the crop must be short one
doubtless the shortest since ls43-as the cN-
IRENE estimate named Is 10000 hogsheads.
an amount altogether insufficient for the require
ments of the West alone, and calling for an7nn-
usually large import OF foreign sugars. In ac-
counting for the decline in production for years
past, it is probable that it may be in some de-
gree (possibly very important one) attribute
bic To the deterioration of the plant from the par
tial exhaustion of the peculiar qualities Of the
soil necessary for its sustenancc. Should this
be the case, il would be well for planters to sup
plyzthe deficiency by the application Of thepro-
per manures.
The following information is given respecting
molasses:
According to the Annual Statement of Mp
A. Champomier, the product Of last years crop
of cane, estimating sixty gallons to each 1000
lbs Of Sugar, was 1929, l40 gallons, against
%, 1890 gallons last year, or decrease of
Z, s39, 4s0 gallons, and 1875, $50 gallons less
than the estimated product Of 1853.
This large falling off in the supply, together
with the high cost Of Sugar, has been produc-
tive of higher range Of prices than We ever
remember to have attained in this market, and
the gross return has actually exceeded that of
the larger crop Of last year, the average Of the
season being 80 cts, per gallon against ISL last
year.
The arrival at the Leyee dnring the part sea-
son have been 2SS, Sl1 barrels, against SI0,716
barrels last year. showing deeresse of 81 iyOH
barrels, and the course OF the market through
the season is indicated by the following table,
which shows the highest and lowest points in
each month for lots on the L,evee, in barrels:
Tho quantity shipped to Atlantic ports, ac-i
cording to our tables (Which include the exports
direct from Attakapas) is equal to about A. S5,
coo gallons against S, 4s7 $50 gallons, last year
This amount being deducted from the. whole
crepof u, 7S5, $50 gallons, as Estimated by Dir.
ChapOmier, there would be left, for the consnmp-
ton of the West and South II, $3.50, $50 gallons
against is, So, 100 gallons last year.
Among the exports last year several thousand
barrels were taken for France and the North, for
distilliug purposes, but the high range Of prices
this season has preclude dsnch purchases.
