This is what the S F Journal Of Commerce Of August g
says about Eastern Sugar:
The Importation Of Eastern Sugar or what Is known as
Eastern Sugar, that is far the most part the refined pro-
duct OF Cuba, has during the seven months Just passed
~. should this Be Continued during the balance Of the
year we should have an importation for 1873 of S,OOO.OOO
trade, and = serious cutting into the domain OF our Re
hnertes. Most OF the Sugar here noted has been dis
tributed before reaching the city, although the profits
for the most part have remained here and in the hands of
three Of our largest houses. The fmportatiOns by coun-
try merchants direct from the Empire City have not ex-
ceeded 10000 lbs. San Francisco capital has taken care
OF the balance. A considerable quantity Of the Sugar
has been the growth Of Louisiana, being thus really as
well a. in name Eastern or rather Southern Sugar, and as
the crop Of the Pelican State becomes larger We shall
probably see more OF 1t. When this is the case, the en-
terpF1se OF orr Rehneries which is taking for San Fran
cisco the prohts Of the Hawaiian crop, Will probably ex-
tend also TO Louisiana.
More recent dates from San Francisco, per SOnOma

Sugar. We are pleased to see that better prices for both
staples are being realised.
