al Council held it's 9th ordinary Meeting.
which at the Presidency's request had
been postponed from the early part Of the
month.
The Government had on His Maiestv's
behalf nominated Collector of Customs
II. r. Anthem as let Crownmember the
patent of nomination was examined and
the Chairman declared Mr.. Anthem entitled
to a seat and vote in the Council.
The only matter on the order Of the
day was the Statement from the Presiden-
cy concerning Bureau Advances to Planters
for December 1876 and January and
February 1877.
The President stated that the amount
for Estate Granard and Diamond should be
omitted In the statement, as it had been
entered BY an error and he recommend.
ed the Council to place at the Presidency's
disposal an amount of $27,24O for covering
advances in money for the 3 months, aud
to authorize the Presidency to take provi-
slons on credit from merchants to an
amount OF Sl2,860, payable June next.
The amount for cash advances had been
increased with c. $4,000 since the last
statement, owing to 10 additional Estates
having applied tor assistance.
Mr.. F06er enquired if the greater part
OF Che amount 10 the statement had not
been expended ~already,-and if it were
likely that bureau advances would be con-
tinued in the coming year.
The President replied that the amounts
had been paid out to planters for Q months
and begged the Council to excuse the delay
in submitting the statement, which was
owing to the many other pressing duties
incumbent on the Administration and from
the desire not to occupy the Councils
tim at q time when it had important
matters under trsatmsnt.-As regards the
granting Of future advances, he could state
nothing positively.
The Chairman pointed out, that in adopt.
ing this statement the Council did not
express any opinion as to whether the loans
IN question In each month should be grant
ed or not to the parties enumerated, but
only that a total amount for the purpose
be put at the Prssidency's disposal the
application of that amount rests with the
Presidency assisted by the Members OF the
Committee appointed by the Council
and the Presidency, and be supposed
this Committee had been heard in refer,
sncs to the amounts expended for The past
two months.-He would, next. call the
attention Of the Presidency and that of the
Committee to the circumstances that led to
the erasure In the Draft of Ordinance on
Bureau, when In the Council, of the clause
pufporting that no advance should be given
without real security it was considered
as being rather hard in the instance of nom
incumbersd properties to ask for such
security 5 but this is the time Of the year
when it might be necessary to lsok after
such real security, which had hitherto
been omitted; and he supposed the mort
gage.holders would now be called on to
give their consent to the bureau-d debt being
given real priority 10 the respective Estates,
in consideration Of such debt being incur
red In order to keep the properties a-going.
The President stated that the Presidency
had always taken the advice of the gentle

At the asc9rtained ard generally accept
ed rate of 400 lbs. Sugar for 1000 lbs.
canes, the weight of canes from the
4S9.O72 lbs. Sugar for 1869 would be
1881 ,06l lbs, which, at the rate agreed
on between the Central Factory of st.
Croix and the cane deliverers, viz. 81 lbs.
sugar for 100 lbs. canes, would have
yielded 64s 1853 lbs. sugar, equal at the
then ruling price of SAL for 100 lbs, to
S23,33O.71 cts. whereas the actual re-
turns Of the whole crop for the year were
$25, 1S4 .23-that is, $1,653.52 cts. more
than the amount to have been received
from the Central Factory. AS the proper
tons between canes, sugar, and money
always remain the same, it is superfuous
to carry out similar calculations for the
following years.
In estimating the gain to be derived
from the Central Factory, the same
arithmetical calculation cannot be follow
cd, as sonnet hing must be left to practical
considerations. The principal advantages
however may be said to be:
|. The losses on the produce by pilfer-
ing and waste, which are unavoidable
when canes are manufactured into
sugar on the property itself. Ga
these points opinions must nee 'ssari-
ly be divided, and the losses in these
respects will unquestionably VARY
very much according to the amount
of order and vigilance observed on in
dividual Estates. In taking therefore
these items at 10 p. c. (say S2,33O.OO)
it must be left to each one capable of
forming an opinion, as to whether this
percentage 10 over or undeI'eStimated.
2. The losses from leakage on board ship,
which falls on the planter either direct
~ when the produce is shipped on his
WI account, or indirectly when other
wise, by induensing the nes results
when sold. This loss is circa 7 pr. ct.
on cargoes to Europe, and cirsa 8 pr. ct.

3. The coat OF 325 empty hhds. for the

4. The annual expenditure for repairs to
wind mills and works, exclusive of
cost for repairing labourers', and
dwelling houses, say circa $500.
s. The Saving on more productive
employment of the labour spent
during crop on she manufacture,
storing &c. Of the Sugar, Rum and
Molasses.
8. The use of the megass either for max.
ing manure, or as q covering for the
land.
7. The use Of the buildings as stock pens.
and for the improvement Of the ma.
nure resulting therefrom.

point, he wished the clause had remained

Objections have however been raised
as to the success of the Ceatral Factory,
if, in consequence of dry weather, the raw
mlterial should fail to BE- supplied in sufi.
cient quantity, but, with respect to Es~
tates d ,~livering canes it must certainly
not be lost sight of that if 80 disastrous q
result has now to be taken into actual
calculation. to the detriment of the other
wise sound basis. on which the Central
Factory scheme has bsen laid, and to the
real gain as shown above to an Estate
delivering canes there, what would, under
the former arrangement, be the pecuniary
condition of such an Estate, were it not
to grow a sufficiency Of canes to enable
its proprietor to meet the necessary higher
administration expenses that would be in-
cured for the producing and manufacturing
of them. Bearing in mind the above named
catastrophe, it becomes palpabIe, from the
foregoing deductions, that q proprietor
would certainly be more pecuniarily bene.
fitted by having even his small crop of
canes accounted for by The factory, than
manufactured by himself. The more
important side of the question with
respect to the success of the Central Fac
tory touches the interest of the sharehold-
srs, and TO them it must certainly be mat
ter of business calculation that if the wealth
or should prove unfavourabIe for the proper
development OF the cane plant, an insutf.
eient supply will naturally be delivered re-
sulting in small profits to the Factory for
that year-ths ncrt gear may howeuer prous
the very reverse, showing large profits such as
shareholders IN Central Factories n some Of
the neighbouring islands enjoy, and finally.
as the machinery to be used for extracting
