According TO the New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia L9dger, the tenor of private
letters and dispatches received from influential
delegates TO the Harrisburg republican conven-
ton, indicate that the Cameron influence will
preponderate, and in that case that PennSylya-
mia Is sure for General Grant. If this. be So he
says 1t would be idle to deny that the New York
convention will be, If only from sympathy, sus-
ceptible to the same Impressions. 1t Is stated
in the same connection that eX-Collector Arthur
of New York, who will probably be chairman OF
the republican convention of that state, repud
ates the popular idea that he is working for Sen
ator Conkling, and makes no secret OF his con
viction that the New York delegation will be 6

The total consumption of sugar in the United
States last year amounted to 631 500 tons
against 1I5,4I2 tons in 1878, an increase Of 7.5j
per cent The average prices last year were
lower than any time siRce 1860, and While the
prospects are favorable for a fair crop this yeal
the estimate Is that 1t will fall below that OF
last year, and, as the consumptve demand will
increase, prices will rule higher. We get nearly
three-fourths OF our sugar from Cuba, and the
present estimate is that the crop for exporta.
ton this year from that island will be only
about $4,000 tons, against $50, 900 tons shipped
last year.
