Sugar Prospects.

With the 1st of October begins the new
campaign which is to supply the world with
sugar for the coming twelve months. 1t is
interesting to know as early as possible
what the best informed merchants expect
from the different countries of production.
In reply TO requests for information we
have received sufficient replies to enable US
to make preliminary estimate as compared
with the crops of the campaign now closing.
The grand total is 2,652, 900 tons Of cane and
B. 713, 600 tons of beet, against 9, &c., 900 tons
of cane and $780, 900 tons of beet last year.
These figures are subject to change as the
crops develop.
Regarding some of the countries we are
informed as follows:' Cuba-The stocks
now in Cuba are estimated at $50, 600 tons,
of which 20 900 tons are under shipment and
ing the growing crop are very favorable,
with few exceptions Rains have been
abundant and the sowings have increased
somewhat. West India lslandS-Crops are
all finished and exports will be limited to
few stray cargoeS, probably not exceeding
5000 tons. Prospects in all the islands and
Demerara are favorable for good crops for
1S91-92, but very much depends on the
weather during October, November and
December. The Demerara new crop will
begin about October u. but we may not
look for arrivals in the United States until,
say, November 15 Regarding Brazil. there
IS no stock of old crop at Pernambuco. and
the new crop will be late, with no ship
ments before October or November. At
Meceio old crop all gone and new crop su-
CARS are not expected until November. At

He had done some newspaper work on the
Milwaukee Wisconsin before the war, and

writer, on the New York Evening Post.
In that place he was closely associated

In 1868 he was made editor in chief of The
Evening Mail and after thirteen years serv-

capacity when it was joined with The Ex-
press in 1881, the new journal being The
Mail and Express. Colonel Shepard, pres

of the writing was done at Mentor; the
work was done in six weeks, and is geper-

produced.
