much less than usual and the pros
poets for the coming crop are not very
promising, although favorable weather
may yet offset part of the damage
caused by the unprecedented drought.
The stocks in Cuba are 100000 tons,
of which 100000 tons are estimated to
have been sold; deducting this guam
tity and 20-30,000 for local consump-
ton, it follows that Cuba cannot have
more than 100000 to 225,000 tons I'M
marketed, Some of the plantations
that usually grind IN to July and
August have already finished, and the
probabilities are that the June-October
receipts-this year will not be as large
as those during the same period last
year. The total visible production to
May goth is 1850 tons. 1t is now
seen that had it not been for the fact
that the yield in December was very
poor, and that owing to lack of rain
the canes did not grow much during
the crop months, the total crop would
have reached very nearly the first es-
| innate of Messrs Guma-Mejer.
Receipts of foreign sugars at New
! Orleans for the week amounted to 46,
600 bags Cubas and $4,000 bags Porto

Although his health had been

for the last seven months had

'the Lords will be done" The

Flowing by the throne of God
