MORE ABOUT CENTRAL FAC
TORIES. =.

In reading the letter below from Mr..
Alfred Fryer to the Sugar Cane, it must
be borne in mind that the author is not
quite disinrerested or unbiased: Alfred
Flyers Patent Concretors for the manu-.
facture OF sugar are advertised by him self
as supplying more than one-tenth of all
the sugar used in Great Britain and Ire
land, and are naturally enough considered
by himself the very best thing for supply
ing the other nlne-tenths, if not more.
IL may be also that tropical refninq'
may not suit thu temperate re6ner" as
well as we believe it would suit those
most interested in "tropicaI prosperity"
Whether Mr.. Flyers statements concern
ing the working of the Central Factory
system in the French islands are taken
to be correct or not, will depend upon the
amount of confidence any one, who has
not had an opportunity of personally veri-
tying the facts, puts in this letter or in the
various reports on these factories, among
which the latest is the one rendered by
the Gentlemen sent to Ne artinique from
st. Croix. We recommend this report,
which is 10 every body's hands, to careful
perusal again by those who may have
forgotten it wholly or in part. It will
be found to contain the elements for atgu-
ments calculated to defeat every PROPOSE
ton put forth in Mr.. Fryer's letter.
The factories which paid in 1871-72 have
paid since, some of them enormous and

THE DUTY ON SUGAR IN DENMARK
(Dagbladet.)

-
On the 18th of last month the Committee OF
the " House of the Diet on this matter
Ak6crt'. Fenger, Speaker, Ford, Frederiksen,
iiofnV, .. j0rgenser, G.. Petersen, Secretary
ScaUeniGs, Tango, Tau5er, Chairman, and
Ih0r@pl rendered their report on the Draft
OF Law for the prolongatiOn of the Law of 28th
March 1871 concerning alteration in the duty
on sugar. The Committee agrees with the
Minister that no reason is found to suffer the
augmentation on pulverized sugar from No. Is
to No. 10 to loose effect. Concerning Musoo.
yado sugars, a minority (Alberti, G.. Petersen.
Tango and Taubpr) are incline not to prolong
the favour bestowed on the importation of that
kind OF sugar, as they cannot attribute to the
regard for st. Or0ix the decisive influence in
this respect, SO much the less 80, as more
than one half of tha Musoovalo sugar imported
during the two last financial years has come from
other ports than those of our Westindian
islands. And as, besides, the prospect of get
ting through with the general Oustoms Law
IN the present session is, in the opinion of the
minority but poor, they propose to carry
smother reform of the sugar duties, viz. the
: reduction of the protection for refined sugar.
and, on the whole, to bring the positions on su-
gar into the form it was contemplated to bring It
in the general Customs Law. In conformity
with the above the minority have proposed
for adoption a new and llere extensive Draft
of Law. The majority, Oh lie contrary, have
thought proper to recommend to the House
not to oppose the prolongation of the Law of
28th March 1871, urgently demanded by the
&llnlster OF Finances, 50 much the more az
there is reason to hope that things will be- 80
much changed in the Westinlies (Danish) in
the course of a year that there will BIZ no need
Of this law. The majority cannot agree with
the minority either in their opinion that there
is but little hope of passing the general Gus.
toms Law. in the present session. But az it is.
however yet uncertain whether this will
be done or not, and as they agree with the
minority that the duty on refined sugar is too
high, they acceds to that part Of the minority
proposal as concerns the reduction of position

the money value of the yield of 1871 az
equal to 100, and that of the other years
in proportion, for easy comparison. The

The extent OF the crops during the same
years, and for the same island, can best
be realised by comparing the sugar crops
of Trinidad in a similar manner. This
will give every advantage to the more
recent years, as that prosperous colony
extends its cultivation and production even
without the special stimulus OF SO pros
porous a year as that of 1871.
