THE commercial and financial outlook
of the country is very gloomy. Much de-
pends upon what is to be the fate of its
sugar industry, which appears to be threat
ened, owing to the low price of sugar In
the New York market, the high export
duty which this article pays, and which
amounts to about twenty-five cents per
quintal. and to other causes. Many estates
are reported to be at present on the verge
or bankruptcy and ruin. The currency of
the country consists of the deprecated
paper of the national bank and of Domini-
can silver money. The new Dominican sill
yer dollar is SO much cheaper than the
Mexican dollar, that this last has been
driven out of the country. Exchange to-
day is quoted at LIT per cent. and promises
to rise still higher 1t is, in fact, quite
impossible at present to buy drafts at even
that high rate.
