TIE SUGAR BOUNTY.
New Orleans, June 29.-The Sugar
Bounty law passed by the last Con-
gress requires that all applications
for bounty must be filed with the
Internal Revenue Department before
July lst. They have been pouring
in since the beginning of June at the
rate of from twenty to fifty day,
and it is supposed that all of them
have been filed. There are $40 sugar
plantations in Louisiana, but only
about 800 have applied for the
bounty, aud it is probable that
number of these will make no appli-
cation for funds. The sugar they
turn out will not come within the
provisions of the law requiring that
it should contain 80 percent of sac
charine matter, and it would cost
them too much to make the improve
ments needed to turn out the better
grade of sugar upon which the boun-
ty is paid. The applications show
that the planters expect big crop.
There will be $50, 900, 900 pounds of
sugar, which will call for 50 900, 900
from the Federal treasury if the crop
turns out anything near what is ex-
pected. The chances are that it will.
