about made, is estimated at 100, 900 hogs
heads. The season has been unusually
favorable-so much SO that at one time
strong hopes were entertained that the
yield would reach 125, 900 hogshcads; but
the weather has been recently less pro-
pitious and the estimates have been re-
duced to the first mentioned figures, and
with favorable year crop of $50, 600
hogsheads for the coming season is talked
of as not an improbable event. Advices
from the princinpal West India points in
dieated full supply, though the insur-
rection in Cuba will interfere materially
with the supply from that quarter. Thc
crop of maple sugar in the United States
the last year will be about $4,000 tons,
though the data is imperfect upon which
this estimate is made. The production of
sugar throughout the world, including the
beetisugar of Europe and the palm and
date sugar of the Indies, for the year
1867, is estimated at 2,299, 600 tons, of
which Cuba produces nearly one-third;
and the consumption for the same year O.
007 200 tons; of this Great Britain and
her colonies consumed about $50, 100 tons
and the United States 467 300 tons-the
two nationalities consuming nearly one
half the worlds supply.

we're considerably less than either OF the
two previous weeks. The number off

last week, and $50 head the previous
week Choice grades. we're scarce, and
sold readily at about the some price as
ruled one week ago. This quality ssold at
from Z 0Oa7 Is per cRt. The gre:t'r
portion of the offerings were composed of
stays, rough steers, thin heifers and cows,
which were nominal in price, ranging from
i 90 10 6 90 per cwt.
HOGS-Only few people yet have
ventured out to buy pork steaks. A few
sales we're made at 75al0 IS per hun

SHEEP-The Offering was a little
short of last week, but fully adequote to
supply the demand. The general ruin
was common in qaality and brougb,

choice sheep offered sold at 3!a4!c pei
