We have, for several years, en-
tertained a most profound respect
tor the wisdom displa,ed by sugar
brokers, in the great city of New
Orleans, in fact our high opinion
ofttimes approaches v%eneratiOn.
This expression is called forth TO
day by a fact that has come to light
adding new lustre TO the renOwn
which already envelopes the n. q.
sugar broker in il veil OF glory al
most imprnetrable.
A planter, who resides not over
343 miles from ThibOdanx made su
gar in a pan in 1884, and
branded all his packages with the
name OF his plantation.
In 1885 he concluded it would lie
more profitable to make sugar i'll
al open pan, aud does lot ) the
vacuum.
He sent down one lot of molasses
which brought 30 cents and anoth
CT lot that sold for % cents, the bar
rels having the plantation brand
thereon. Then he sent aLOther lot,
branded in sO,ne other name, made
in the same manner. out ut the same
kind OF CANE, ami taken out OF the
saIe cisterns. This lot, although
molasses had fallen five or more
cents, in the mean time, brought
80 cents. This shows the peculiar
wisdom, penetrating intellect, and
coruscating genius that character
ize sugar brokers, OF the present
day. No wonder polarization and
all sorts of other 'ations arc sought
by them to aid in their efforts t.
sell the sugar crop.
The 'atiun that planters use when
they receive return OF such sales is
not suitable for a country newspa
per, to print.
