Important to Sugar Makers.

"Bradstreet's, ~ on June 9th. says:
1.-THE news process of sugar making dis
covered by Frobach, of Berlin, if it proves
equal to all that is claimed for it, will
completely revolutionize the sugar trade.
For years it has been conceded that the
present method of extracting the sugar
from the cane is defective and expensive.
The new process dispenses altogether
with crushing and pressing. The cane
being cut into strips, the water is first ex-
tracted by alcoholic vapor, the saccharine
being left in the cane. This is then
treated with liquid alcohol. It is asserted
that this extracts all the saccharine.
Afterward the sugar is extracted from the
alcohol by being filtered through lime
and chalk. If this proves successful it
will at once add third to the present
production of cane sugar, or at least

causes some sellers to market their re-
naming old crop sugars a little earlier,
but has little effect upon the size of the
crop.
Porto Rico.-Letters by the last mail
from reliable parties estimate the next
crop at only 90 per cent of the present
yield.
Philippine Islands.-Cable advices to
June 21st show 50, 600 tons had sailed for
the United States since January 1st,
against 4O,57S tons for the United States
for same time last year. Forty-two thou
sand six hundred and ffty-seven tons are
now afoat for the United States, against
So, 1856 tons for same time last year.
Havana, June 20th.-Owing to the dis.
parity between buyers and holders views,
this market opened quiet, and only small
sales at irregular prices were reported
during the first days of the week; but to-
wards the middle of same advices of
more favorable character having been re-
ceived both from London and New York,
the demand gradually improved, and all
the parcels brought forward met ready
buyers at a slight advance upon last
weeks closing quotations. Further on
the same good disposition having con-
tinued to prevail, holders have again en-
HANGED their pretensions and the market
closed to-day fairly active and strongly
supported for all descriptions. Accord
ing to a tabular statement the sugar crop
now nearing its end on this island, adds
up 567, O81 tons against $50, 903 last year.
WHAT ''BRADsTREET's" SAYS.
1.-The rise in the price Of sugar has
already affected consumption in England.
! The increased consumption for the first
! five months in the United Kingdom
! amounted to 80, 978 tons, but the deliveries
! for June have shown a decline. There
! fore it is safe to say that if prices
! continue, even at the present figure,
/ the consumption will decrease, and it is
doubtful whether the final increased con-
sumption at the end of the year will fig
ure so large as it is at the present time.
Those who figured large increase in the
consumption of sugar in this country are
also going to be disappointed. The ex-
pected increase was placed at 70, 900 tons,
but in the half year almost, over the in
crease amounts only to 5,831 tons oVei
that of last year.

THE SUGAR MARKET.

Our San Francisco correspondent
writes that the New York sugar market is
easier on account of decline in beets in
the London market. Owing to the holt
day season in the United States there is
but little to report, but we gather the fol-
lowing facts from our New York and Lon
don exchanges OF latest dates:
NEW YORK.
There has been no disposition to sell,
and holders views do not appear to have
been modified, but it is generally admitted
that business could only be resumed on
lower basis of valuation. Refners' stocks,
which are ample for present RECURRENCE ts,
have been increased by liberal direct i'm
portations, and accordingly for the pres
ent they can well afford to be Indifferent
spectators, particularly as present indica-
tons point to future purchases at lower
prices The recent upward movement re-
suited in the accumulation of heavy
stocks in London aud the diversion of
large shipments thither from cane-pro-
ducing countries, and these influences,
together with the absence of demand, has
caused holders to weaken. Local refners
have shown their lack of confidence in the
advance by the cautious manner in which
they have replenished their supplies, and
this market has given tardy response to
the bullish temper that until within few
days, has prevailed everywhere else.
PRODUCING COUNTRIES.
Pernambuco, May 23d.-For the past
month there have been abundant rains,
and the prospects are fair for the grow
ing crop, which is expected not to fall
much below the present one.
Trinidad, June 6th.-The wet season
seems to have fairly set in. A few es-
tates are still grinding as weather per-
mits. The crop is the same as last year,
say abont $4,000 hogsheads.
Beet crop.-Mr. LIGHTS report is at
hand by mail confirming the cabled re-
port, and showing strong statistical po-
sition on basis of supply and demand for
next twelve months. Cabled reports give
more favorable weather recently, which is
required to recover the three weeks back
wardness of the crop. This evidently

ALBANY, n. Y, July 23.-The follow
ing proclamation has been issued by the
governor:
State of New York, Executive Chamber:
Ulysses ;. Grant, twice president of the
United States, the defender of the Union, the
victorious leader of our soldiers, and the
general on the retired list of the army, is
dead. To the last he was the true soldier,
strong in spirit, patient in suffering, brave i'm
death. His warfare is ended. After the
close of his official life and following that
notable journey around the world, where
tributes of esteem from all nations were paid
him, he chose his home among the citizens of
our state. He died upon our soil in the
county OF Saratoga, overlooking scenes made
glorious by revolutionary memories. 1t is
lifting that the state which he chose
as his home should especially honor
his memory. The words of grief and
the tokens of sorrow by which we
mark his death shall honor too the offices
which he held and proclaim that praise which
shall ever be accorded TO those who serve the
Republic. Therefore, II is hereby directed
that flags on the public buildings of the state
be placed at half-mast until his burial and on
that day, yet to be appointed, all ordinary
business in the executive chamber and the
departments of the state government viii be
suspended. The people of the state are called
upon TO display until this funeral en-
blems of mourning and are requested that at
that hour they cease from their business and
pay respect TO the distinguished dead.
Given under my hand and the privy seal of
the state of New York at the capitol in the
city OF Albany, the twenty-third day of July,

magnitude of the public loss of a great mill
itary leader who was in the hour of victory

ingly the pathway OF duty undeterred by
doubts, single minded and Straightforward.
The entire country has witnessed with deep
