ScHEMEs.-FIoat a company in the
London market for the purpose OF
raising money at about 4 per cent. on
the security Of landed property in this
and the Leeward Islands generally,
as the case may be. The company
to be controlled by a Board OF Lon
don Directors composed of leading
merchants, and others interested in
West Indian affairs, whose knowledge
of the wants, capabilities, and value
of sugar estates, would be IN some
measure a guarantee for the scheme.
The Directors are of course to have
no control over either erection, or
working Of the factory, as they would
simply be guardians Of the loan.
Be it remembered we are no adj
vocating here a Central Factory Com
pany, but a Land Mortgage Company
with a resident agent appointed by
by the board of Directors to look
after their interests, and to whom APP
plications could be made for the
money required to erect n or more
Central Factories ON application
by the owner or owners OF certain
estates who may desire to erect a
Factory, the Agent on satisfying
himself that the request is bona hde,
the locality suitable, the lands free OF
encumberances and capable OF turn
ing out the number of tons specified
by the applicants, or in other words
of paying The interest on the loan,
will on receiving these guarantees
together with "a suitable mortgage,
communicate with his principal and
put the matter at once in motion.
We look upon it that the obligations
of the Agent only extend to recon-
%mending, or reporting against the
security offering, and to the fair dis
bursement of the money, but in no
way to reach either the mode OF
erection or working of the Factory,
which ought to be under the super
intendence and sole direction OF the
mortgagor, whose property it would
be as much Us any other portion of
his estate.
AS the great objection tothis scheme
will no doubt appear to be the impro-
liability of floating such company as
we have here hurriedly sketched, we
may say the strongest assurances
have been already received from those
on whom we can rely, that so soon as
the Encountered Estates Act is with
drawn from this Island, and the
consignees lien obliterated from II
laws, Antigua Estates will stand quite
high enough in the eyes Of the
money market to command the neces-
sary capital for the full development of
sugar Factories, which, as we shall 60
on to show, have paid handsome divi-
dends even during the past year; in
deed it is now pretty certain.that, but for
the suspicion with which the Encum-
bered Estates Act is looked upon out.
side these Islands, moneyed men who
know the West Indies would long
ere this have come to our aid, and
, 1885-01-31

the interest as well as discharge the
capital in 80 years.
This lean ought to be in the hands
OF a local commission responsible tor
its bona fde and even disbursement.
But perhaps instead of Immediate
ly raising the whole amount required,
as the water works sinking fund is
about to be liquidated, and the bond
holders appear willing that the cou-
pons should remain in their hands,
let the Government be asked to ne
gociate a renewal of the loan at about
4 per cent, as it we would be far bet
ter policy for them to transfer this
fund TO the Planters and charge n
moiety of the interest on the general
revenue, than TO allow every industry
in the Island to fall INTO pauperism.
So far then we have only consider
ed the probability Of one or two
small factories being erected in GER
tain localities as a tentative measure
and at cost not exceeding thirty or
thirty five thousand pounds each; if
however it should be desired to create
sufficient power TO manipulate the
crop of the whole Island, we think
four large UsineS in different districts
and on convenient sites capable of
turning out singIy $500 tons or
$4,000 tons collectively, and costing
together about $3.50, 600 quite equal
to our present crops-These Facto-
ries might be erected, worked and the
interest raised exactly in accordance
to that proposed in the smaller
scheme.
We should not be inclined how
ever to recommend less than four
Usines to take off the entire crop of
the Island, as the expenses for tram
Ways must necessarily be increased in
proportion to the mileage or distance
that the canes have to be carried TO
the Central Factory.
The power we have provided,
namely four Factories capable of
making annually $500 tons each,
would be somewhat OVER our average
wants, bat it is just as well in making
our calculations to remember u ex-
ira percentage as well as the produce
of outsiders who will in "a short time
be only TOO glad to avail themselves of
a new process TO manufacture even
their smallest lots, and from which
instead of obtaining 40 lbs. weight Of
Juice from 100 lbs. of canes as we
recently witnessed may readily reck-
on upon so lbs. at least from the
same quantity.
We can well imagine the conster-
nation depicted upon ~countenances
not directly interested in agricultural
pursuits, and we can almost hear ok
CARNATIONS upon the injustice of lax
ing a whole community solely 10
benefit the planting interest, but if
even we are guided by number we
shall not then be advocating the
cause of the minority, form a purely
agricultural community as thisis, with
all the inhabitants more or less indi-
rectly dependent upon the prospects
of the Planters, there are out OF a
population Of $4,000 souls at least
, 1885-01-31

the employment and supervision OF
the skilled staff necessary to turn out
such parcels as we should then make,
ought undoubtedly to be under the
management ofthose interested in the
whole scheme.
In the Limited Liability review for
November 1884 we notice an article
on the Argentine Sugar Estates and
Factories Company to which we call
attention; the shares Of this company
were at the above date firm at E13-
or 80 per cent premium, and there
was every Likelihood that they would
reach Els or so per cent by the end
of the year. The company was
brought out at the commencement OF
1884 with a capital of G130,0OO, of
which one third was taken by the
vendors, the balance being issued to
the public; the vendors guaranteed a
profit Of 100000 during the first
twelve months, which was exceeded
before the termination of the year
but supposing that G25,00O profit is
realized this will he sufficient to paw

The jury returned a verdict that
