The sugar crop in Louisiana of 1871
and 1871 is estimated at l44,SSl hogs
heads or l6S,S7S,592 pounds, against
1000 hogsheads in 1869 and ls'o'
showing an increase Of over 66 per cent
or this crop l26,657 hogheads were
brown sugar, while the balance were
refined and cl larsfed sugars. The yield
of molasses was immensely large, being
II gallons per hogshead; the entire
Weld of moiasses was lO,2Sl, ,4l9 gal
Ions against 5, ,724, ,256 in 1869 and 1870,
or nearly 100 per cent. The number
of sugar houses in operation IN loo9
was Sit and in 1870 there were lOO2
1860 and 1861 there were l292.
When the war broke out the productive
capacity of the State was nearly oOO,,
900 hogsheads of sugar and o'o'ooo
barrels of molasses. The finest sugar
lands were laid waste during the war
and the Improvements on sugar estates

lars were destroyed. The sugar crops
for 1871 and 1872 will probably exceed
100000 hogsheads. The rice crop in
the same State for 1870 and 1871 is es-
timated at 49,97l barrels, against lOO,-
TAO barrels in 1869 and 1870.

The disagreement between Secretary
Boutwell, and Commissioner Pleasanton,
relative to the award OF the contract for
furnishing paper for revenue stamps, is
likely to create serious complication.
1t was intended several weeks since that
new series Of beer stamps should be
issued on the first of July, and in con-
sequence OF this fact stamps OF the old
series are not being printed. At this
season of the year the demand for beer
stamps is very great, and to-day the
Internal Revenue Bureau could not fill
the requisition made, especially for
quarter and eighth barrel stamps. As
every brewer is liable to heavy penalty
for allowing kegs Of beer to be sold
without being properly stamped, the
consequences Of the trouble can hardly
be overestimated.
