STATE AND PROSPECTS OF THE
SUGAR MARKET.
(SugaT Cane Feb. Ist.)

During the past month the sugar market
has been exceedingly quiet, and this quiet
ness towards the close has led toa tall in
prices not very easy to account for, unless
it be partly attributable to the small in
crease which have taken place in the
stocks OF sugar in the United Kingdom, to
q falling off in the consumption of sugar,
and to the placing, by the French Refners
at the same time, OF Paris loaves on the
market, at q further decline of 2s. per cwt.
The French Minister of Commerce does
not appear to have observed the disas-
trous effects of protecting the Sugar REIN
ers at expense of the Fa6ricants, if we may
Judge by his reply to a deputation of
those who have experienced them. The
English raw market 10 depressed by it.

From the Eap. Maiz)
The London sugar market closes
quiet, with sales limited to small
parcels of crystallised Demerara at 3Os. Cd.
to 32s. At Liverpool the market has been
depressed, Demerara refining selling at 27s.
to PTS. sd. The re6ners at Bristol are
doing very little business, and, as a conse-
queDce, the demand for raw sugar is very
limited. At Glasgow there have been few
transactions in West India sorts.
Rum is in moderate demand at IL. lid.
for Demerara.
The market is dull for molasses.
The vexed question Of the sugar duties
is again TO be submitted to an Tnternation-
al Sugar Convention in Paris on March S,
and Lord Derby has addressed "a circular
letter to the Chambers Of Commerce and
others interested in The trade, asking them
to state their views so that something tan
giole may come out of the Conference.
The last Convention did not settle the in
ternational sugar duties question and
Lord Derby's letter points OUT that " the
Government cannot continue to take part
in Conferences that lead to no result; and
that they consider it necessary that some
definite decision should now be arrived at."
Surprising that an agreement cannot be
come to at the approaching Conference or
The basis of refining in bond, his Iordship
asks the associations to say, whether
their interests would be best served by the
Government declining to enter into any
fresh treaty engagement on the subject,
or whether, if other means fail, they would
prefer that q system Of Saccharimetry
should be accepted. In the one case the
Government could not undertake, if they
withdrew from treaty engagements, TO re-
new negotiations on the sugar question
and, or the other hand. if a system of
saccharimetry was adopted, a period of one
or two years must be allowed to test its
working before the Government could
undertake to examine any complaints made
with respect to it, and the Government
could not be pledged to adopt any particu-
lar system OF saccharinetry for this coun-
try in the event Of a re-imposition of the
sugar duties"

farm. They were shrewd and thrifty,
and had the reputation of being close.

Then there's Mrs. Jones, up at the

"Ah! look at that, now, for moind;
she forgets nothing"

A Sensitive Woman.

The following is told of resident Of
Iowa: The case Of Mrs E. Winship,
who resides in Shellrock, Butler county,
is remarkable one. The slightest odor
of tobacco, ether, chloroform, turpen-
tine, benzine, kerosene, or prussic acid,
will, if she inhalcs it, throw her into
violent convulsions. So sensitive is she
to the effect that she is obliged to shut
herself wholly in room by herself.
These convulsions increase in severity
at each repetition, and few days since
a man entered the house with piece Of
tobacco in his mouth before the family
were aware of it, and, although the
rooms were thoroughly ventilated by
leaving the doors and windows open,
enough of the odor of tobacco remained
to produce these convulsions when Mrs.
Winship came into the room, and for
some hours it was thought she would
not recover. Extraordinary precautions
are used to prevent those who use to-
bacco from going to the house.

Sage is the product of various palms
and other trees in India, Ceylon, and
many other Eastern countries. 1t is OBJ
tanned by washing the pith with water
and drying the sediment, after which the
sago appears in round grains, somewhat
varying in size, or in small granulated
masses. The grains, although so hard
when dry as not to be easily broken BY
the teeth, yet absorb water readily, and
make . good food when prepared as
puddings or Cruel.

Last year, at the Centennial exhibi-
tion, there was exhibited mammoth
grapevine, from Santa Barbara, Cal,
which attracted great attention. The
Trade Journal lately noticed mon
strous bunch of grapes, exhibited in San
Francisco, from an otf-shoot Of this vine
planted sixteen years ago. This cluster
of grapes is reported to have weighed
one hundred and twenty-five pounds,
was six feet in circumference and eight
feet long. The vine itself is said to pro-
duce from ten thousand to twelve thou
sand pounds of grapes annually.
