The financial condition Of the Presidency IS
anything but satisfactory and nevertheless
that the revenue has been increased by the
creation of SO many new imposts in rs, those
at the head of aflirs have managed to increase
the expenditure even beyond that ratio. The
Treasurer's accounts for the year are not yet
before the public (they seldom or never see
them) but the nOn-payment of last years la
bilities, which even the recent 82,0 900 Loan,
has been inet1ectual to meet,-proclaims a
deficiency. which must be the precursor Of
additional taxes this year, if the Government
persists in the course of lavish expenditure to
which it seems committed.

THE CENTRAL FACTORY CUES
TON IN THE DIET.

In the meeting of the Folketing on the
10th uItimo the Draft of Law concerning
the erection of Central Factories etc. in
st. Croix was read the first time. TIL.
Nielsen recalled the former proceedings
IN this matter. The cause Of the decline
in sugar production he attributed to the
population and the %antiquated processes
prevailing. He doubted that the measures
proposed would save the Island. The
Minister Of Finance explained that these
measures at all events made it possible to
introduce better processes as wei as saving
Of labour. He hoped the Draft would be
subjected to careful examination and be
treated with good will. He regretted
that the question had remained several
years undecided, which had had a bad
influence in the island, and he hoped that
it would now be furthered with all posi-.
BILE despatch.
The second discussion was tacilly
agreed to and the Draft referred to a Com
mittee Of 7 members, viz: TIL. Nielsen,
S0rensen, B@rontzen, Schroll, Frederiksen,
Dahlkild, and N, Larsen.

The New Year has been inaugurated by a
continuation of the fine showers Which prevail
ed during the month of December, and the
cane crop has benefited accordingly. The
reaping season will have TO be deferred for
at least three months longer, but the general
crop will it is thought exceed the authorizations
which were formed some months ago. As was
the case with the crop Of 1875, there are dis
tricts where the canes have almost persisted,
and the planter will have little to reward his
industry, but the general crop will be up TO,
If not over, the average, although we will not
reap as abundant a harvest as in the past
year. The following is an analys sis Of the
shipments for l675-s9gar $4,000 hogaheads,
MOlasses $1,000 puns. 2 ,O67 hhds. ARE barrels.

seven eighths of the total was exported to the

States and 4,748 hhdS. to the Dominion Of
Canada. There is no export Of Molasses to
the United Kingdom; "a, O99 puus, were
shipped to the United States and $4,000 to

consumption aud the small lots which still
remain on hand in the warehouses of the ship
