sAGuA LA dRANDE CROP REPORT, MARCH 49,
The weather continues very favorable to
grinding and there are now some twenty estates
That have or are about anis hing, all with much
VIII last years crop
them another month Of dry weather; those
gentlemen also felt quite confident that the es-
aggerated. and that the 27 per cent deficiency
that Is calculated does not yet reach the exact
figure that this years crop will be smaller than
case that there should be no fires or other mis-
fortunes which this country is 80 much ex.
posed to. Notwithstanding the unprecedented
favorable weather tor grinding. the amount OF
produce that has 30 far reached the port of sa-
qua does not come up to the amount stored at
same date last year. and considering that most
estates average about 80 days of grinding. 1t Ia
not likely that In the 80 days left them for the
same operation. they will be able to make as
much more.
cARDENAs SUGAR MARKET AND CROP REPORTS,
MARCH "a.
The flrmness Of our sugar market reported
by our last OF the twelfth instant, has continued
ance with tho general expectations. prices have
experienced II slight advance, principally due
to the ever increasing pretenstons OF planters
based on the certainty OF a reduced crop.
Comparing the receipts. stocks and shipments
OF 1890 UP to this date. 1t will be noted that
borne In mind that the weather this seas on has
been constantly exceptionally favorable for
and carting without the least inter-
ruption. 30 that the bulk OF what has been made
has already been sent to town. which was not
the case last year. We must therefore look for
a rapid decrease and q sudden stoppage Of re-
oeipts from the country which may result In a
sharp advance In values ere long.
