Low Price Of Sugar.

Sugar is now cheaper than it has ever
been in the memory Of the present mid.
dle-aged generation, and it is supposed
prices have not yet touched bottom.
The fall in prices, however, has not
been caused BY . falling off in demand J.
for consumption has never been SO
great. In less than year it has in
creased one fourth, and the United
States are now using 25 per cent. more
sugar than they used last summer; yet
the stock on hand in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore on July.
% last, amounted to 169,798 tong,
against 1873. 893 tons on the same day
last year. Cuba is not sending us much
sugar now, as the export tax--half
% cent per pound and the inn
port taxes here, cause it TO be
worth only three cents q pound on the
island, and the growers, hoping the
Spanish Government will Tighten the
export duty, are holding back their
product, rs at present prices they can
make little or no profit. The chief
cause Of the present cheapness is the
enormous production of beet. root sug-
ar in Europe, especially in Germany,
last year. So great was this, that
Germany now rules the sugar markets
of the world, and although not much
Of this sugar is imported here, cane
sugar, which we use chiefly, comes to
us all the cheaper, from st. Domingo
and other places, because it cannot be
sent TO Europe in competit with beet
sugar made there. OF course, the low
price hurts the producers Of cane,
sorghum. and maple sugar here in all
parts of the country. s. {.

to run in a profer ional pitcher on our

Of filthy .lucre from this professional

il was claimed he was resident OF
Greenville, yet some OF his own club
did not know him, and neither did a
majority Of the citizens OF Greenyille.
Finally it leaked out that he had been

was to be for several days more" Our
club then decided to pro ong the game
until after dark, and make it drawn
game. While all this was going on
four or five gentlemen got up purse
Of $1,000, and offered to bet it on the
Blues, conditional that Hutchison was
removed from the pitchers box.
Our club having the sympathy of the
spectators, our pitcher pitched snow

train time some of the Greenville club
had to go to the depot, as they held
