R1.su1PHATE oF LINE

MI. "a Bonnabel, the proprietor Of the Southern
Chemical Works in this city, has long been engaged
in the manufacture of bisulphate Of imea chemical
compound, the excellencies Of which, in refining,
have brought it into such general use that it is now
deemed an Indispensable accessory to the proper
manufacture of the saccharine staple. The demand
for the article has increased at such rate tnas'
notwithstanding Mr., Bonnabel has increased MS
manufacturing facilities to the capacity OF twenty
thousand barrels for single season, as he IS dong
this season is yet necessitated to call upon MS od
patrons to send in their orders early and get priority
on his books for he has just reason to anticipate
that the calls upon him this season will require much
more than even the enormous amount which ne Will
be able to furnish. ~ Fl EgAisssS sAy 5
The manufacture Of this chemical -bi-sulphate of
lime-s business SO extensive as to entitle it to
foremost place in the ranks Of those enterprises which
are building up and adding to the rmness and pros
perity Of the South. Just think Of ittwenty thou

mere chemical preparation for home use in the manu-
facture Of ugar-and this enormous quantity to be
produced by one establishment for the use of one
season Few persons out Of the sugar region though
they may well posted as to the quantities of sugar
made and exported form any idea Of the gigantic
nature Of the sugar manufacture miles and miles
Of cane that roll in green panoramas along the banks
Of our rivers and bayous; the myriads Of negroes,
horses and mules required to work it the mills and
the gigantic and costly machinery with which they
are filed for crushing the cane and bringing out the
sugar; and the millions of capital chat requisite
to carry on the whole. If from trip through the

the sugar business, we should think that the one
item upon which we write this artcle-twenty thou
sand barrels Of bsuphate Of lime from one establish
ment alone give him peep into its vastness
for the amount Of the chemical used is very small
in proportion to that Of the sugar clarified.
Mr. Bonnabel's experience in the manufacture of
bisulphate of lime enables him now to produce an
article which cannot be exceed for its particular pur
pose, by that from any other manufactory in the
country. All that the knowledge Of sugar and all
| that chemical science can contribute, has been
brought to bear upon the manufacture Of the article
at present and has been the increasing excellence
Of Mr.. Bonnabes manufacture, within the last few
years. that has swelled the list Of his regular custom
ers, and brought him in SO many new ones, that he
now honestly anticipates his inability to fill all their
ORDERS If this is his predicament this season, how
ever, we may confidently assume that it will not be
sonext season. Increased manufacturing facilities are
the result of increasing demand and mat
tor how much Mr.. Bonnabel may have been pushed
to extend his chemical works to their present capa-
city, we feel satisfied that he will continue bis extern
| sions from year to year, should the demand upon
him continue to increase as it has of late.
