estimates the maximum production of sugar
throughout the group, within the present decade
as $1,000 tons or 1OODO,0OO pounds, being one
twentieth of the worlds production, instead OF
two-thirds, as estimated by several leading Amer
| lean journals. However, as the Pacific States
alone required 90 OOO, 600 pounds for 1880, and AZ

brought into San Francisco by the City Of Pekin

lea. Most probably neither statement is correct
but that both were put forth by way of blind to al
low the Cinnamon to be quietly landed and quickly
absor bed amongst their countrymen in California
and the neighboring States and Territories.
