The reduction of the duty on sugar in
France, amounting to the payment of
bounties by the government for the ex.
portation of refined sugar, is viewed with
CONSERVATION by the British refiners. The
operation of the new rule begins October |,
and its effect already is to cause great nm
certainty in the English market. Fearing
glut of arrivals from French ports, the
English sugar.refning interests are, in con.
sequence, at a stand.stil. The operation of
the new arrangement is given in the London
Grocer as follows: 1.-THE French author
tiles, when estimating the yield of raw
sugar, deduct the percentage g per cent?
of glucose, or uncrystallizable, from the
crystallizabe sugar but in assessing the
moist, refined sugar, the glucose or un-
crystallizable portion is included. At the
new rate of duty this will give an export
bounty exceeding 6f the 100 kilos or rs.
Cd. per cwt.

Dictionary says: 1t is Familiarity employed
in tbs United States, but is title of court
esy merely Webster says it is a general
title Of respect in addressing letters.
