Sugar Trade Depression.

The sugar trade is passing through
one of those prolonged stateS of stag
nation into which "a market some
times settles, aud out of which it is So
difficult to revive it. Prices are lower
than they have been before in thirty
or forty years, and, while members of
the trade profess to believe in a reyi-
val of bushes, there are as yet few
signs of Improvement. Still, this is
the very dullest season of the year,
md as is usual at this time, many re-
finerles nre closing temporarily for
repairs and improvements. Several
have done so in Philadelphia and
Boston. The causes of the ~stagnation
are several. Cuban planters have
been in great financial stl ats, many
have failed, and this has forced out
a great deal of sugar at very low
prices. Even a war has been going
on i'll this country between the ref
ners and the importers, which has
caused much depression. Formerly
the former purchased their supplies
of the latter, but for a year or two
past they have gone into the business
of importing directly and this has
been gradually crowding out the i'm
porters. Several great houses, which
formerly did a large business in i'm
porting sugar, scarcely touch the arti-
Gle now. This competition has Of
course depressed prices, which have
declined about two cents per pound in
about "a year.
The Claus Spreckles Hawaiian
sugar monopoly of San Francisco has
caused much trouble to Eastern ref.
ners. Determined efforts have been
made to secure the abrogation of the

connected with the factories, and
when the latter are at work, on the
sugar produced by them. To pro-
vide for the proper working of the
scheme, q Committee is to be appoint
ed to map out the Island into districts
in order to determine the number of
central factories required, the most
suitable position for each factory, and
the probable cos of erection. The
Committed is also charged whit the duty
of enquiring into the best means and
the best machinery for attracting the
greatest quantity of s"ccharine matter
from the sugar-cane, and reporting
thereon, but no means are to be re-
commended which might involve a dis
proportionate increase in the cost of
manufacture,
The circular deals thoroughly with
the question of central factories in
regard to Barbados, and shows very
clearly the advantages which would
be gained under the proposed system.
An increased expenditure admitted Of
81 per ton in the manufacture of
sugar is shown to be more than
coumtprbaIanced by the market value
Of cry>tallized sugar "a against
muscovado, besides taking into ac-
count n SAVING in the cost of bags
used instead of casks, and Of freight
proportionateIy, also a saving of the
los" in weight resulting from drainage
unavoidable with mu>covndO sugar.
The cost of the factories it is estimat-
cd would be about G35,00O, tram
ways and water supply included, for
a crop of 1000 tons; and the interest
(p'oft?) about $2t per ton on the
Sugarmade. Any building andmachine-
~ which could BIZ utilized, to be used
i'll carrying out the new system.
The scheme is bold; but if the
spirit which nnimates the projectors
be caught by those who can assist
in carrying it out, ii may not prove a
very difficult matter; while it may
fulfil the expectations of its pro-
mote RS. = The Dominican.

The Effects of the Drought In the Cot

The report Of the condition Of the cotton
crop of the United States, in 6I5 out Vi
the $50 counties raising over oOo oales
each and representing about % per cent
of the whole cotton area Of the Union, TO
Brqdstreers. reflects the situation up to
Oct. p. TIE prolonged drought, which
was general throughout the cotton belt,
left the plant incapable Of subsequent
Improvement, except in some OF the
bottoms. The top crop is almost null
Iitv. and the cotton is about all open
and nearly all picked. The planters
are complaining Of short crops and low
rrices- and in many instances claim that
fbev must market their crops at less than
the cost Of production. Low water IN the
streams has retarded ginning and trans
pOrtation in some quarters. The picking
season has been extraordinarily line; the
staDle has been gathered free from stain
or trash. and is grading much higher than
usual. Recent kilograms tell Of rainy
weather. and consequent hindrance 70

fields.
In Georgia a generally favorable con1l-
ton had been reached by August, though
the plant was left in succulsnt condition
from previous heavy rains. The hot
drought following through september
caused the plant TO wither, together
with general drying up and
shedding Of young bOlls. For the pasi
month parching hot weather mas con-
9inued over the state. and present reports
show that only ia counties has there
been an improved making OF fruit, while
in - counties the parching weather has
further reduced tue yield. In the re-
naming % counties reported the slifa-
non is unchanged as 10 yield, the croplu

Oct. l. and bevOnd the influences OF the
subsequent weather. About 10 counties
report q slim prospect for top crop,
while over 100 counties report practically
no top crop whatever. The 0Gils
are about all open, aud the excellent
picking season has permitted the bulk

In Florida previous reports showed
moderate damage from rains or drought,
according to locality. and indicated a fair
average condition for the whole State.
For the past month the weather has been
hot and dry, having tended TO improve
the crop in counties and injured il in 10
counties, while in ) counties there mas
been no change, as the plant had stopped
growing at last report. The weather for
picking has been very satisfactory, and
the bulk Of the crop is already gathered
in remarkably good order. In very lew
localities there has been interruption OF
work by political excitement among the
pickers. The crop has been going 10 mar
ket freely. but owing 10 the decline in
prices the movement is now Stacking oil.
Sea island districts are suffering from
protracted drought, which is reducing
the Top crop but affords a splendid pick
ing season. The worms were checked
by the dry weather.
The general yield throughout the cotton
belt is numeroUsly reported less than last
year. bv others equal to last Year. and 10y
some larger than last year. The tendency
of borh mail and telegraph advices IS in
the direction of light crop estimates, and
but Tor the excellent picking season,
which has reduced the waste 10 a mimi
nam. very short crops would be reported.
Wet weather is now prevailing in several
States. and the small remainder of the
cotton in the fields may be injured as to
grade.

condition Of the crop in the various
States.

he gives the following interest

DAYS more. when our provisions having
become exhausted, we turned about and
beat d hasty retreat for home, living on
the country as we came. We had plenty

Mercury Will be an evening star after
Nov. /. but viii not be visible in conse-
quence Of his proximity to the sun. Venus
viii be a morning star during the whole
month: on the meridian at On. lon. a. n.
on the 9TH and at 9h. pom. a. N. on the
25th. She is rapidly approaching superior
conjunction with the sun, as vel as her
reribeIion. the latter taking place on the
18Th. when three-fOurths Of her illumi-
mated disk Will be visible. On the morn
ing of the 4th Venus and Uranus viii be
in CONJUNCTION. the former being only 30
minutes (Of arc) north of the latter. This
will be a favorable opportunity for ANA
teurs and others Tor finding Uranus, which
is usually difficult 10 find without instru-
mental means.
Mars is too near the sun to be seen this
month. Jupiter rises a little after mid
night, crosses the meridian at Oh. 40m. a.
N. on the 18th. and is about 10lz degrees
north of the equator, ard is therefore
tolerably well situated tor observing both
the Felts and satellites. but the red spot

telescopes.
Saturn is the most conspicuous object
in the heavens, rises on the 10Th at On.
4Jm p. m. and on the meridian at 2h. a.
M. has a great northern declInatiOn (2134
degrees aud is, therefore, very fayOrably
situated for observation. The south side
OF the rings is visible, the earth being on
Nov. Is 265Z degrees beiOl1 their plane
and the sun 20s< degrees. The greatest
apparent diameter Of the rings viii then

least diameter 20J{ seconds. The rings
will be easily seen with telescopes Of very
moderate power. TIE star OmicrOn Of
