able terms OF payment, and many other
circumstances which make it more desir-
able to buy on the spot. It is, therefore,
worth the consideration of our r%efiners,
whether they cannot as q first step regain
the confectioners' trade, by making dry
Crushed Sugar at particular times of the
year. For the confectionery trade alone
there is thus a considerable prize to be
won, but the mention Of Crushed Sugar
opens up o much wider and infinitely
more important question. A vast trade
is done by Holland and France in supply
ing the whole basin of the Mediterranean,
and large portions of South America,
with Crushed Sugar; and the manufacture
of England, the greatest Sugar market OF
the world, is almost unknown in countries
where every grocer knows the name Of
the principal Dutch and French refners.
We shall be told again that this was caused
by the bounties given on export by foreign
governments; but these, according to the
r%efiners, have disappeared since the Draw
back Convention came into force. Our
r~efiners have for q long time undersold
Dutch Sugar, and, with one marked ex-
ception, French Loaves, in the London
market, and The question naturally arises
why they cannot carry the var into the
enemy's territory, by supplying the Me-
ditcrranean demand. The refiners, of
course, know their own business best,
and We presume that they have not yet
seen their way 10 making an extension of
their dry Crushed trade profitable /; but
it would undoubtedly be a great advant-
age to the Sugar trade of the kingdom if
they could, by alterations of machinery
or other means, obtain a share of the
Mediterranean and South American trade,
and at the same time bring the confec-
TONERS back to the English market. Lon
don Is the greatest consuming market in
the world, and Sugar ought therefore to
be bought so cheapEy here us 10 counter
balance many of the disadvantages caus-
cd by the large extra expenses necessary
in q great city. Coal is cheaper here
than abroad, and machinery ought to be
If it is not-cheaper and better than on
the Continent. Above all, the London
r%einers, although they may be behind
hand in some of the details of manufac-
ture, have certainly much broader and
more liberal views Of trade in general
than the Continental r%efiners, and this of
itself is a great advantage. We confess
that we cannot see why England should
not supply the Mediterranean with Sugar
if the Drawback Convention is not
altogether a delusion.
The Raw Sugar market throughout
the week has been extremely dull, and
the amount of business done in landed
goods has been below the usual average,
but seven floating cargoes have been dis
posed of. Low descriptions are Gil.
cheaper, but strong refining and grocery
Sugars are unchanged in value. The
sales effected on the spot. have been prin-
cipally composed of very low kinds, and
for home purposes the market is almost at
a stand still. In the present dull state of
the demand for refners' goods the. pros
pect of an improvement is small, and we
should recommend caution in purchasing
Raw Sugar during the next few days.

can buy cheaper and better goods of spe-
cial manufacturers. Brewing has fallen
almost completely into the hands of pro-
fessed brewers, bread-making into the
hands of the bakers-and so on, but the
British nation has, until quite recently,
chung to the idea that whatever her de-
fects were on other culinary points, she
could make cheaper and better Jam at
home than she could buy. But this idea,
excepting among those who grow their
own fruit, and thus save the expense Of
the most important Ingredient, is rapidly
dying out, and in towns very little jam
is made at home, because the manufactur-
ing confectioners can do on a large scale,
much more cheaply and better, what on a
small scale is not only more expensive but
very troublesome. The decreasing guam
tity ofSugar sold for preserving has been
remarked for some time past by grocers,
but this year the complaints have been
more numerous than ever. OF course it
matters little to grocers whether they sell
the Sugar to make the jam or sell the jam
ready made, as lis simply o transfer of
trade, but the change involves o further
transfer, which has a marked effect in
NAiIlllIcllAuS liz OCuldJu lOI AOUUOU IT,
tiners' goods, and is therefore of consider
able importance to the Sugar trade. Be-
fore the protective duty on English Re-
fines was reduced, the wholesale jam
makers made use of very large quantities
OF Loaf Sugar. In addition TO this, those
who made their jams at home also used
Loaf Sugar, and as a matter of course
drew their principal supplies from Lon
don. But when foreign Reines were adj
mltted on a nearly even footing with Bri-
fish goods, the attention of the confec-
TONERS was directed to the dry Crushed
Sugar made in Holland, which for many
reasons was hGtter for their purpose than
Loaf Sugar. Tt did not require grinding
down, and this expense was therefore
saved, as we'll as the loss of weight in
grinding, there was no waste for paper
or string; the casks might be made use
of again; and finally, the dry Crushed,
which cOnfectlOners would willingly give
a little more for, was generally cheaper
than Tltlers. The result Of this has been,
that the London r%efners, not having any
dry Crushed to offer, have almost COM
pletely lost the orders of the preserving
houses. We are glad, however, TO see
that some OF our more enterprising re-
timers have already taken steps to try to
regain the trade and the chance of mar
kets has this year, we are told, been in
their favour, as English Crushed can be
offered at lower rates than the Dutch
Crushed bought for forward delivery some
months since. The question is an i'm
porlant one, and it is well worth consider
ing whether the advantages are on the
side of Holland or England. The great
Sugar export trade of the Dutch is princi-
pally, or at any rate in a very large de-
gree, composed of Crushed Sugar, and it
is possible, that being larger manufactur-
ers, they can make it more .cheaply than
the British r~efiners. But, on the other
hand, the Dutch makers have had until
lately a bounty on their exports, which
is said by those who believe in the Draw
back Convention, to have been consider
ably reduced, or ALTOGETHER done away

JUDGE WILLIAMS. THE EREPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE.

THE nomination of Judge Williams, of
Pittsburg, as the Republican candidate for
Judge Of the Supreme Court, seems to give
entire satisfaction to the party. In Pitts
burg, Judge Williams is regarded by the
Bar as the ablest Judge in the District, and
hence his nomination was urged with great
zeal and unanimity by his friends in the
west, though not without great doubts of
success, as it was feared the strength Of
several popular candidates in the east would
be too great to overcome, Fortunately the
Convention saw the propriety of nominating
one of the best and least exceptional men
named for that Office, which. they did with
great unanimity. They have thus given us
o better man for that office than Judge
Sharswood, for the reason that Judge Will
liams is.in the vigor of life, being nearly
twenty years younger than his opponent,
while he is, to say the least, fully his equal
in legal requirements and vastly his supe-
rior in loyalty and patriotism. Judge Will
liams will never be accused of having any
doubts in regard to using coercive measures
to put down a rebellion, nor can he ever be
charged with the folly of having declared
that "slavery was blessing" or of that
equally ridiculous and more dangerous abb
surdity of Judge Sharswood, who delivered
an opinion in open Court, declaring that the
Act of Congress, authorizing the issue of
greenbacks, or legal tender notes, was un-
constitutional.
