SUGAR PRODUCTION AT NATAL, SOUTH
AFRICA.

Cane culture and the industry connected
Herewith are the only important ones in the
colony, and considering, first, the low value Of
the lands, which for the best is but 5l2 per
acre, second the yield of these lands, which in
favourable seasons may reach l and Il tons Of
raw sugar, worth from $50 to $50 per ton
and further the tariff protection which the SUI
gar industry enjoys protecting it from all com.
petition it would seem that it should be quite
prosperous.
1t is not, however, for all the advantages
enjoyed by the Natal planters have been rem
dered useless by the greater or less droughts
experienced in that country during the last
four years. During this period the produc-
ton has constantly decreased. 1t is stated
that in Victoria county, which produces about
two thirds of the general yield, the last crop
that of 1890, was 60 per cent short. Without
doubt prices were higher, and they have
now reached Sl05 per ton, but there is consid-
cradle expenses for man ufcture and manipu-
lation say about $35 per ton, leaving but little
to the planter, considering the deficit in the
cane crop just alluded to. The price of sos per
ton alluded to is not considered very high.
1t might ~reachSl25 per ton without permit.
ing competition of foreign sugars, even those
of Mauritius and Bourbon.
In 1888, according to the French consular re-
ports, the export by sea of raw sugars amount
ed to $3.50, 900, and it exceeded that of the
previous year by $4,000 In quantity this
export, which reached about 1000 tons, repre-.
sents 46 per cent of the total production,
which total was estimated at 10, 1874 tons. The
surplus was chiefly consumed at home and ex-
ported by land to Transvaal and the Orange
Free State.-FTom the Louisiana Planter.

GA YANKEE TRICK,

A Syndicate of English capitalists have just
been victimized in Chicago. Not long ago thew
bought from the Armours their spacious stock
yards and plant. The price was S25, 900, 900.
One of the conditions of the sale appears to
have been that the Armours would not set up
business again in Illinois. But the English
men have not had more than time to get we'll
to work when P. D. Armour made arrange
ments to recommence business in Indiana. An
American contemporary says that the English
Syndicate " can have no legal cause of com.
plant" They have been over-reached, but have
only their own ignorance of American geogra-
ply to blame for their misfortune. Armour is
reported to have said that he is not Worrying
about the English investors, but that he must
look out for his own interests and those of the
