The report was then submitted az follows:
To the Officers and Members of the Sugar
Planters Association.
Your special committee appoiuted at the
meeting Of the eighth OF January, 1880 to take
Into consideration u series of resolutions of.
fered BY Mr.. Mccall and adopted BY the asso-
port:
At the fret meeting Of the committee It was
deemed advisaoie to subiivlde tha wors. 10 con-
branches, and we now place before you the re-
suit Of the investigations made, accompanied
BY such recommendations and resolutions AS
are thought necessary to obtain the needed re-
forms.
On the first branch we report az follows:
Ftrat-ln regard to the manner or system
under which sales cf sugar and molassee are
now usually made III this city"
That the system is wrong from the hurried
manner In which the sales are now conducted, |
there being Insufficient time given for that
careful comparison OF goods which ie usually |
obtained In all other markets. aud which leads |
to u careful consideration of value. and under |
which .aystem all goods bring more. nearly |
their fair market prices. That the hurried |
method now adopted. owing to the dangers that |
1t involves, leNds buyers to demand a larger |
margin than they would insist upon If. BY a
careful comparison Of the goods with others
offered. they could more nearly determine the
value of the goods they were Offering on.
That the Immediate remedy lies III the sale Of |
goods 10 arrive by adv nee samples. which |
may be readily Rent from the plantation one or
two daye In advance Of the shipment OF the
goods aud with this advance sample In hand
the broker eff acting the sales will have from
double to triple the time IL which To effect sales
than the present system Affords That this re-
lief can readily be adapted to ali sugars other
than open kettle, etc. with care In samplinv
" may be adapted to these. That reliet may
also be obtained by an extension Of the sugar
levee. by removal OF the sheds therefrom or by
other means. such AS will 80 enlarge the space
that all sugars arriving may have at least two
