western provinces of Oudh, Of Punjab, of
Bengal and Of Madras. In these last two they
manufacture sugar, also, from the sap OF the
date palm, the cocoanut palm. and from an
other relm known as the Palmyra.
The area of land cultivated in sugar plants
is about two and one-half millions of acres,
giving a yield of about two million six hum
dred thousand tons. From the above area we
should deduct about one hundred thousand
acres devoted to other cultures included with
in these limits. In India the cane fields are
thick and each of small extent. The plant is
vigorous, although slender. They produce
one crop per year. The system of culture
practi sed in the West Indies is very little used.
Some foreign canes have been introduced, but
the natives cultivate them only for eating, and
as a dainty.
The culture of the sugar cane is very labori-
Gus and requires much fertilization and irriga-
ton. Hence, it is not much liked by the
natives.
AS compared with the results obtained Ia
the West Indies or in the Mauritius, the yield
per acre is low. 1t is, however, almost as
profitable. 1t is proper to say that the lc Y
yield is due to elementary methods of juice ex-
traction and thu sugar manufacture.
Formerly the English re6ners bought the
sugars Oh Bengal ana MADRAS, DuC now tney
draw from the Mauriu JUS and the West Indies,
and the Bengal sugars serve almost exclusively
for the local consumpt ion.
Thanks to the imp roved irrigation works,
cane culture is develop ing in the northwestern
provinces, where the local consumption is itself
increasing.
OH the other hand, in the presidency OF
Bombay. the Mauritian sugars, considered as
refined although they are not, are in general
demand.
This demand for foreign sugars shows that
the supply of Indian refined sugar is not equal
to the demand, and that unless refneries SINH
lar to those in Europe be established there,
this demand for foreign sugars will continue.

THE IMPORTS OF SUGAR INTO THE
UNITED STATES.
Louisiana PIGnter.)

There were impo rted into the United States for
the eight months ending September LIST, $1,000
tons of cane sugar, against 879, 900 tons for the
co responding period of last year. The APP
parent deficiency of $4,000 tons is covered by
the fact that there was imp orted 253,000 tons
of beet sugar during the same time, az against
1900 tons during the same period the previ-
Gus year.
AS against a deficit of 5000 tons in the
importation Of cane sugar, there was an excess
Of IT'S, 900 tons Of beet sugar, or an increase in
the total imports over the previous year to
same date Of III 900 tons. The stock on hand
September l in the United United States was
81 900 tons less than the previous year, and
hence We find an increase in consumption to
that date for this year of 142, 900 tons of sugar
or 10 per cent on the whole years consump-
ton showing during the first eight months. 1t
would then seem probable that the United
States would show an increase of 12@ per cent,
or more in consumption of sugar for 1890.
The enormous increase in the imports of
beet sugar 10 notable. The 253, 900 tons dur
ing the first eight months and the stock of all
sugars in all hands in the United States re-
duoed to so, 900 tons, and 81, 900 tons less than
last year, would show that the only present
source Of supply for the United States would
be the beet sugars of Europe, or the Louisiana
crop, and the latter is not enough, and hence
there must necessarily be from $1,000 to
1O0, 900 tons of beet sugar imported into the
United States during the last third of this
year, and the price of Louisiana sugars must
be made by the price of beet sugars in Europe.
There is no known test except that of human
taste to determine the relative sweetening
power of beet sugar as compared with cane
sugar. They are chemically the same. but
there is something beyond the reach of chemis-
try, and that is the measure Of favour or taste.
AS nearly as it can be determined beet sugar
has but 20 per cent Of the sweetening power
of cane sugar, and when sold as cane sugar
or mixed with it, such sales are practically
fraudulent, and an effort is making in Eng:
land to prevent the sale of beet sugars as
Demerara crystals.
Louisiana would derive considerable advan-
tage from the purity and high sweetening
power of her sugars were they better known,
