brings a full cargo, and is offered for sale
She is fine schooner, of about 100 tons ca
pacity, and would be valuable acquisition

The bulk of Hawaiian Sugars having been
shipped to the Coast, and the crop generally
falling short of the estimate, shipments here.
after will be lighter, and as prices in San
Francisco, for dark grades, are very low, it i:
probable that the lower grades Of our Sugars
will be kept back, to await an Improvement in
prices. 1t is to be feared that the unusually
dry weather will materially injure the next
crop, and complaints reach us from all guar,
ters-with few exceptions-that the cane is
suffering for the want of rain.
