The Sugar Business.

In all of the great sesports of England
and America the sugar business is about
the largest importing trade. London, in
six months Of the present year, received
ass, 900 tons Of new sugars. This would
constitute the cargoes of at least one
thousand ships, barks and briggs, such as
are generally employed in the sugar trade.
Boston, alone, in six months of the pres
ent year had nearly three hundred and
fifty ships, briggs, barks aud schooners ar.
irving at this port entirely loaded with
sugars. This feet gave to our CONNER
cial interests vast business; for the re-
naming four months of 1877 We may not
receive more than one hundred cargoes.
The seven months of 1877 have shown
probably the largest sugar trade that Bos-
ton has ever known. The receipts have
been about 10000 hogsheads and nearly
half million baskets from the East and
West Indies. The receipts at Philadel-
phia and Baltimore have been very light
in comparison with Boston, and largo
quantities Of sugars have been sold here
for those markets and also for New York.
With the exceptions Of a few scattering
cargoes from the West Indies and some
nine or ten vessels from the East Indies
due in August and September, the bulk
Of the entire receipts for the past year
have now Boston Post.

How INTEREST EATs.-Mr. Registrar
in Bankruptcy Noyes, of Boston, holds
that one of the causes of bankruptcy is
that 80 few persons properly estimate the
difference between high and low rate of
interest, and therefore often borrow money
at ruinous rates that no legitimate bust
ness can stand. But few have figured on
the difference between six and eight per
cent. One dollar loaned for one hundred
years at six per cent, with the interest
collected annually and added to the prin-
cipal, will amount to $40. At eight
per cent. it amounts to $2,203, nearly
seven times as much. At three per cent.
the usual rate of interest in England, it
amounts to $19.25, whereas at ten per
cent, the rate in the United States, it is
$13,SO0, or nearly one thousand times as
much. At twelve per cent. it amounts to
4,O75, or more than four thousand times
as much. At eighteen per cent. it
amounts to SIS, 145,700. At twenty -four
per cent. (Which we sometimes hear talked
off it reaches the enormous sum of
$2,55l, 799, 4O4.
