TRADE


quiet ones in commercial circles as any
we may expect during the heated term
coming on. Certainly they were the
Hdullest of b season SO far. Stocks gen.
orally are ample in all branches of trade,
and receipts continue fair. Prices are
some weaker from the cause assigned
yesterday, and concessions would be
made on all leading articles, just to be
"doing something"
The Havre merchants have been dill
gently collecting statistics wherever ac-
cessible in the United States, West Indies.
France, England, etc, and have furnished
the trade, through that excellent business
medium, the Journal du HnUre. with the
following estimate of the quantity of SUI
gar of all kinds raised for on
the globe. They include the cane, beet,
maple and date palm products. The
grand totals 2,200,OO D tons, of which Cuba
furnishes fully one-third. The sugar
yield Of that Incompatible island, before
he existing trouble for Independence
broke out, was worth from 500 COO 600 to
$50, 100000, although the return per ssre
is much less than In some OthercOuntritnn.
In Barbados and British Guiana, for ~
stance, the yield Is 7l59 lbs. per acre: on
the Island Of Reunion, $500 lbs. : 10 Ben
49, - $1,000 DbNf N00 ~ G4DG Oulg
1900 lbs.
This discrepancy is to be accounted for
chiefly by a wasteful and inconsiderate
method OF production-one of the newt
able results of utterly ignorant aud I'M
paid labor. Intelligent, trained industry
would, with the same material, probably
treble the relative yield.
The necessary results OF the warfare
now raging in Cuba have been deplorsble.
Spanish fury has almost desolated some
Of the finest portions of the island, cOut
of 1900 plantations, there probaH are
not twenty free from mortgage. and
while the property at its best now re-
turns only about 4 per cent, money loans
cost 9. Under such circumstances, should
the conflict be prOtracted, our cane plant
ers in Louisiana and sugar-bees rsisers
will have to wake up, or the sacchariue
continent, which has become such a ne
oessary of life to our people, will be sadly
deficient before we get through another
twelvemonth. The seventy millions of
the Cuban article will follow in the wakes
Of the twenty millions of tobaeceofha~I
coffee THAI the island formerly raised each
year. We are glad to know that the home
producers to whom We refer are at work
