Interesting Lear. Subjoined extract of q letter
from NJ. Cardiner, Of Paris, to Judge Mason, Commits
eioner Of Patents, dated April 3Oth, 1857
SIR herewith present you my opinion, for which
you have done the honor to ask regarding the prac-
tcabiliy of extracting sugar from the Chinese sorgho
(ocas Saecaras Of boanists This question being OF
the greatest Importance, it affords pleasure per-
ceve that the government of the United States is anxious
to obtain proper Up to the present time it hl
been subject OF but little attention. owing to the
mcrci relation of the in its conversion into alco-
holthis being advantageous than its manufacture
into sugar Aside from this fact, it not less that
from the sorgho crystaliabe sugar be extracted
similar in every respect to That made from the cane OF
the tropics OF this entertain the greatest conviction
which is supported by authentic though very numer-
Gus, facts will not now give you exposition of the
process to be applied for the purpose of obtaining this
sugar because it is the same employed with the
cane, which is well known and further because it is
only experience in general that indicate the perfect
ed improvements to be introduced into this manu-
facture What am able to advance is. that the stalk
of the holcus sacchaatus contains crystzable sugar
without furnishing greater quantity of molasscs than
the An experiment made at Verriers with Cler-
gets apparatus showed the sorgho to contain 16 per
cent. of sugar. of which there only l0A per cent
crystaizabe, and 90 uncTysallizable yet by
means depend upon result gained from plants collected
in the department of the Seine and Ose in climate al
together beyond the range adapted to this plant. Q
We are likewise far from acknowledging that there
third of the sorgho sugar uncrystazabe tho so
VIC enuIey oohour III INC opiIloh OF NJ tteryey, VINO
found that there ncysallizabe sugar in preex-
stence in the cane and that the formation of molasses
is only owing to the action Of the salts during the manu-
featuring process. o o
After this explanation / would recommend in the
process of extracting sugar from the sorgho take great
in the first trials Inc juice is very albuninous
and strongly charged with chlorophiIle attributable in
my opinion to the short period the plant requires for
growth ii might very likely happen that the ordi-
nary process of DELEGATION is not sufficient"

To-day's sales are estimated at l., 900 bales, of
which 1900 are on speculation and for export. The
market closes very firm and rather dearer.
In Manchester a good business has been done,
particularly in yarns, which are rather higher.
Money is decidedly easier, but the continued
heavy shipments OF silver to the East preclude any
reduction in the rates of discount.

CoTToY.-The amount of business done since the
ls inst, the date of the opening of the season, has
not been sufficient to establish any reliable quota
tions. The reports of the new crop are generally
favorable. As remarked by the Republican, from
some sections complaints reach US, but with con-
tinuance of the present weather, it is presumed an
average crop will be made. Such of the new crop
as has under observation is of good staple
and color, and seems to indicate that the quality of
the crop, generally, will be better than last year.
