WESTERN PRoDUCE-Referring to our
preliminary remarks it will be observed
that, composed with last year, we find that
there has been an increase in the receipts of
beef, corn meal, eggs, feathers, glassware,
green meat, lead, coal oil, LARD oil, pickles,
beer, shot, soap, starch, Irvine. vinegar,
wool and wheat; but a decrease IN apples,
bacon, bagging, bale rope, beans, butter,
bran, corn, cheese, candles, coal, dried
fruit, flour. hides, hay, lard, leather, lime,
white lead. oats, onions, potatoes, PORK,
tobacco and whisky. It will also be OBJ
served that in quantities the decrease
greatly exceeds the increase. A turther
scrutiny will show that in the list OF articles
which present decrease it is manifest that
they mostly include those which are now
furnished by Western towns directly, by rail-
and river to Southern interior localities for
merly almost entirely supplied from the city.
These remarks are applicable to last years
receipts also, compared with the year before,
indicating q continued diversion Of trade,
caused bv the extension of railroad connec-
tons between the interior South and West
without corresponding increase between
the former and this city. This is purely
practical question, and can not be Thought

M. Bouchereau's estimate of 3,S9S, $40
gallons is equal to 2l2,45 bbls, OF which
l6l,2 have been received at this port and
constitute the basis Of our market. This Is
predicated on 80 gallons to the hid Of
sugar. against 70 last year. 70. 20 in 1868, II
in 1901. only 65 in 1867, when the cane
was remarkably rich, and 70 for many years
before. With the improvements in sugar
making the proportion Of mOlasses to sugar
should materially diminish, but this ten
dencv has to great extent been neutral
lied by the improved processes increasing
the yield of sugar and at the same time by
moro thoroughly draining the cane of its
saccharine properties, increasing the yield
of molasses. The difference between the
crop and our receipts approximately indi-
Gates the extent of the direct shipments by
