The Sugar supply.
The rates Of sugar are very firm, and
prices may advance any day. The Ner-
camille Journal says: "Late European
advices show that the deficiency In the
stocks Of raw sugar throughout Europe
during the early summer months, and
which caused so much uneasiness, has
at last been made up, and that stocks
now show q surplus. The effect, Of
course, is a serious decline in price all
over Europe. The beet-root crop now
about being marketed will, it is claimed,
reach 1000, 600 tons, against $50, 900 tons
last year. On the LIST of June the stock
in the United Kingdom shown a def
cheney Of $4,000 tons. To-day 1t shows a
surplus Of 5000 tons. This showing as
sures ease in the European sugar mar
kets during the remainder Of the season,
but, as the deficiency in the stocks there
has been made up by free importations
of cane sugar, which otherwise weuld
have come to this country, the result
here is likely to be somewhat serious.
The West India crops, other than the
Cuba crop, show considerable falling of
in production this year. This alone would
have cut down receipts from these
sources, and make us more dependant
than usual upon Cuba, whose prOduc-
ton showed an increase of one hundred
and twenty-five thousand tons. But for
other reasons our supply from these first
mentioned sources has been almost en-
tirely cut off. The high prices in Eng
land made it possible for English buyers
in DemeraTa, ~PernambucO, Bahia and
Manila TO pay higher prices than Amer
can buyers could afford to pay. In con-
HtIGtltt dLLAOsL Ll4E NlAAlC NAbDo VI AuNSt i
countries have gone to England, and
scarcely any to this country. Espe-
cially is the difference felt in the pres
ent scarcity Of grocery grades of Dem
erara Sugars, which hitherto have
competed so successfully with some
grades of refined softs. Fortunately, |
however, until July LIST our importations
from Cuba were enough larger to make
this falling of and to W. the in
crease in the consumption. But now it
appears that this heavy demand upon
the countries of production during the
first half of the year has taken all the
surplus, in addition to the usual amounts
during the first half Of the year,
leaving the quantity still to come for
ward much less than usual. For in
stance, our fall impOrtations from Dem
erara are usually considerable. This
year nothing remains TO come forward.
Our only source of supply, therefore, is
Cuba. But from there also the prospect
is not encouraging.
The New Orleans Picdgdule reports II
q The papers published in the sugar
parishes complain of the injury
the long drOuth is doing the sugar-cane.
In the parish Of Plaquemine alone is the
cane, SO far as our exchanges tell US,
entirely uninjured by the drouth, and
his is now at an end in that parish"
The PicGytgle also says: "The reports of
he rice crop in this State are most en-
,ouraging. The dry weather has mate
tally assisted the harvesting. In the
parish Of P-laquemines, which raises half
he rice produced in the State, the crop
S reported to be one Of the largest and
finest ever harvested"
