The Sugar Outlook.

The sugar planters OF this country are
very much encouraged by the prospects
of good crops and prices during the COM
ing season. There has been a hopeful
feeling among them ever since last spring,
when it was made known that the area
devoted to beet culture in Europe had
been much reduced. Subsequent reports
from France and Germany indicate that
the season was unfavorable for the beet
crops, and there now seems to be no rea-
son to doubt that the yield is far short of
an average. In fact, the short acreage
and the poor crops will, it is thought, cut
off the crop in France fully one-third. In
Russia, Austria and Germany, the crops
are better than that of France, but the
decrease in the sugar production of
Europe is estimated at nearly a half
million tons. The crop is estimated at
2,015,0O0 tons. 1t is doubtful what effect
the summer droughts, followed by too
much rain, has had on the quality, as
well as the quantity, of beets produced,
but it is claimed that the scientific man
ner in which the beet is cultivated now
causes it to retain its rich saccharine
qualities under extremely adverse influ-
ences.
The effects of the predictions of short
beet sugar crop in Europe were plainly
felt in the leading markets OF the world by
the middle of the summer, Prices were
advanced, and the market recovered It's
tone.
The outlook for the cane sugar growers,
especially those of the United States, are
still Frightening, for it seems to be pretty
sure that a good crop will be produced,
and that it can be sold at moderately re-
munerative prices. 1t is better that the
profits of sugar-raising should not be
very great, because production would be
unduly stimulated. The industry would
become largely a speculative one, and
very injurious reaction would be sure to
follow.
BY the time the season of 1856 closes
the new processes of making sugar will
doubtless have had a fair trial and have
proved successful. Should this be the
case the production of cane sugar in the
Southern States will certainly increase
very largely in the immediate future.

There is not al honest engineer or naval
constructor in the service who will say that
either the Dolphin or the three cruisers could
have been built at any navy yard for the con-

Navy Yard methods are not economical; plant

lacking; the work is inevitably allowed TO

London Truth says that ''when the
Royal Life Guards returned from their
opera-comique-like picnic campaign of
Tel-el-Keber, there was an official recep-
ton, and every effort was made TO get up
a great public demonstration, the whole
affair ending with a review before the
Queen, at which the heroes were the Duke
OF Connaught and Lord Wolseley, neither
of whom had been in any more danger than
if they had never quilted England. Now
the guards have returned from Suakim
after hard fighting and severe work; but.
although they have on this occasion really
done something to entitle them to a recep-
ton, no official notice whatever was taken
OF their ARRIVAL neglect which was OF
course due TO the fact that the Duke of
Connaught did not act as drag TO the
corps" II Gilbert and Sullivan have any
real independence, itlooks as If they could
easily find a subject for an army opera
that would even eclipse Pinafore.
