IOtal IoC,oo5
The entire consumption of sugar in Great Britain
is about so per cent than the quantity of full
crop in louisiana though ii is nine or ten times the
quantity of that crop last year, which was the small
est ever made taking into consideration The land IN
der cultivation. A full crop in Louisiana would
probably now be half million hogsaeads. 1t will
reach $780, OO0 this year, and quite probably 100000.
Last year it was less than $4,000 hogsheads.
The English papers estimate that the high cost of
sugar has diminished the consumption One.third in
that country. In the United States the consumption
has also been greatly checked, while the stock is
large. There will be in the bonded warehouses of
the Government the lst of July, not less than
$20,OOOOOO worth of sugar and molasses and it is
quire probable the holders before they through
with 1t, will be compelled to submit to an average
decline OF 20 per cent, equal TO loss of $4,000
600
The amount of sugar exported from the Maurtius,
or the Isle of France in 1843 was 3d. 758 pounds;
in 1850, it was 11O,937,388 pounds; and in 1855 it
reached to 253, 892,673 pounds. This was an in
crease of nearly two hundred million pounds in
twelve years; md this increase very steady, the
only years that showed falling of, compared with
their immediate predecessors, being l847, 1848, 1850
and 1854, being earlier than the commencement of
the present high prices of sugar. The amount eX-
ported from the island since 1855 we have no means
of ascertaning.
The vine disease of Madeira has caused the sugar
cane to be again cultivated in that island. Shortly
after the discovery of Madeira the cane was there
introduced from of the Mediterranean countries,
and soon became the staple of that place, so that
sugarloaves form part of the Madeira coal of arms
The abundant produce of the West India Islands,
which were discovered about three-quarters of
fury after Madeira was first visited by the Portu-
guese, rendered the production of sugar in the latter
unavoidable while the Madeira vintage unr-
vailed In 1852 the vine disease first showed it.
self, and Madeira grapes will soon become much
matter of tradition the golden apples of Hespe-
rides. The people turned their attention 10 the cul-
tvation of the cane, in which their ancestors had
been so successful, and thousands of acres were
planted with it, The business had been found to
pay we'll, much better, indeed, than that of wine
making. Unfortunately no sugar has been made
from the cane Of Madeira, most of the juice being
converted into ardent spirit In 1855 the number of
gallons of juice made was 31l,5oo. 1t takes five
gallons of juice to make one gallon of spirit In
1856 there were eighteen sugar mills at work on the
island crushing cane. The reason why no sugar has
been made is that competition with the established
producing countries was thought impossible but a
present prices, it ought to pay to make sugar In
Greenland.
