1867. The big crop Of 1861 sold at an average
of s54 81 y hind, and realized s25,Os5, 271. while
in 1863 crop of rs, sol hhds averaged SIT 10 %

elusive. the price realized was from $35 to 500 10
hid. averaging s54 Sc, but in the short crop year
of 1885, the price rose to $40. For the six years.
from 1857 to 1862 inclusive, the average was $40
&c. but in 1868 1t rose to $l79 ~, and in 1864 to
S203 80.
In the ensuing year it averas ed (of course in
currency)s A. 36. but with the liberal crop OF
1870 sunk to $9S 43, since which the annual aver
ages have been SOS 2S, slO0 30. s95 80 and
5000 90. These variations IN result ncu cate that
planters SHOULD not be discouraged by temporary
reverses nor re idily eated by extraordinary sue
cess, but rely in the acreage OF series OF years.
This often affords an incentive to increased ei-
forts, as was the case last year, inspired by the
hope OF making I'M, by favorable season, for
the losses OF an unfortunate one. The planter,
moreover, is now encouraged by new and more
favorable features in the culture. We refer es-
pecially to improvements in sugar making, and
more satisfa ctory rela tions between the employ.
ers and the laborers.
While the crop of 1871 shows gratifying
increase over the previous year, it is yet far short
Of what might be confidently expect ted, in case of
increased investments of capital in the culture
and suspicious weather. 1t has, nevertheless,
been of sufficient extent to pay fair remunera-
ton to the planter, and has impaired more
healthful vitality to the New Orleans trade. The
latter is mainly depend cent the receipts, which
embrace los, 260 hhda, against 76, 1884 last year,
and 95, 1897 the year before. Thus our supplies
have been more copious than for the past two
years, but fall short OF 1912 and 1901, when
they were respectively 114,37S and 129, l0l.
The first receipts OF new crop were on the 9Th
of October, and consisted of 8 bbls from Mr..
D Dagles plantation, parish of Assumption,
which, chasing fair were sold from the landing
by the consignee, Mr.. r. Beltram, to dealer, at
95sc. This was eight days earlier than In the
previous year, when the first receipts sold at the
fancy price of lie.
Prices at the same time presented general
upward tendency, showing net advance OF ac
in common to fair in May, 4c in COM
mon to fair in June, and a in July. Due
ing the past month"; with reduced supplies
and a steady demand, prices have ruled still
more in favor OF Sellers common to fair closing
at $1,000, and prime to choice at 10@l014c,
showing a net advance for the month or &c, but
the movement has been of limited extent, the
receipts embracing 325 hhds, and the sales 1850,
while the exports have been confined to 625 hhds.
Our shipments to the Atlantic ports show q
large increase over last year, the political strug
ges in Cuba having curtailed the supplies from
that leland and forced prices up in New York,
which invited consignments hence. The largest
increase is to New York, which shows q total
of 1886 hhds, against 1927 last year, while the
amount to Philadelphia is 1890, against 142,
and to Baltimore 1917, against 1923. There
has also been some increase TO Charles
ton and Savannah, the latter taking 1907
hhds, against Oil last year. The Cult ports also
come in for a considerable increase.
