hONNLALls ANuAsA 49,
We have to note the arrival of the British ship Geo.
Thompson from Newcastle, with coal for mail steam
ers the American ship George Green from San Fran
cisco in ballast under charter to load at the Guano
islands for Europe, the Ketch Ino from the Naviga-
tor Islands, and the Str. Nebraska from Auckland.
We have no foreign departures to report since our
last issue.
The steamer Idaho may be considered fully due to-
morrow morning. The bark Comet is about Is days
out from San Francisco.
Our Auckland advises are to the 10th inst. Sugars
are in fair demand there being less than three weeks
supply on hand. They complain much Of the quality
Of the Island sugars sent that port and say that
our best sugars can be sold readily bond at prices
that will net more than in San Francisco from the
fact Of expenses being so much less that dark sugars
are not suitable for their trade generayi that hav-
ing no Sugar Refnerics, they cannot make our dark
sugars available.
We understand that the New South Wales Parlia-
ment have passed bill to aid steam line, and call
for tenders for carrying mail via FIJI to San Fran
cisco.
We have advices from San Francisco up to the 10th.
Sugar and other Island produce remain about the
same as our last adyiccs We have been permitted to
copy a circular letter from San Francisco house to
their correspondents, giving valuable information in
regard to the sugar market:
SAN Francisco, 9Th August, 1872.
1--WE quote from F. o. LIGHTS London Sugar Cir
cnlar Of July 18th 1872, the following, showing the
position of the Sugar market in Europe and North
America:
THE production of Beet-rOot Sugar in the first
FIVE months of this year in consequence Of the falling
of on the part Of Germany has remained behind that
Of last year by g. coo tons. Imports show for Europe
and North America together increase of $4,000
tons for Europe alone that Of L 00O TONS whilst the
stocks on LIST Of January were in Europe and North
America together $1,000 tons, and in Europe alone,
81 GOO tons smaller than in 1871 that for Europe
and North America together there results decrease
of 81 600 tons and for Europe alone that Of 10000
tons against last year; but in Europe they were
81 600 tons smaller, whilst exports show increase
of 600 tons over last year. Consumption during the
first five months of this year in Europe and North
America is less than that of the year before by 200
tons, in Europe alone by $1,000 tons. For the
twelve months ending 3lst May the total consump-
ton of sugar in Europe and North America together
has increased by q 600 tons, and Europe alone by
only 1000 tons.
These statistics, as already anticipated in pre-
vious months are again favorable to the article,
and even if the fact Of larger crop in Cuba, we'll
as the prospect Of an important inctease in the Beet
root Sugar production should, after the recent con-
siderable rise, naturally effect its value, the same
may nevertheless be again strengthened by the heavy
deficiency in the stocks combined with the in
the consumption of the article the latter being greatly
aided by the very favorable prospects of the corn
crops.
