The soft. rainy weather we had yesterday.
and are having at this writing, cannot but prove
very injurious to the sugar interests. The
planters generally had been forced by the freez-
ing weather of last week to wind-row their
cane. The present warm weather will inevlta-
bly, cause much of the cane in this condition to
sour. which will involve great loss. This is
most unfortunate, for our planters. having been
delayed in rolling by The unusual backwardness
of the season. had just commenced to realize a
satisfactory yield from their canes, and the
opinion had become general that the sugar
crop would. despite the. drawbacks be fair
one. We fear that those who INDUCED this
hope are doomed to be disappointed.
