The sugar planters, and those parties in this

troubled about the present condition of affairs.
The soft weather which has prevailed for a
week or ten days past, has had an injurious
eteet upon both the wind-rowed and standing
Cane, causing a souring of the same, which has
rendered It unfit for the puposes of sugar mak
leg. The consequence will be that the larger
portion of the cane remaining on the hands of
planters will have to be rolled to make molasses.
This will prove a serious loss, some estimating
it at 50 per cent of the crop. We earnestly hope
that this estimate may prove excessive,
We had occasion yesterday to allude, on pas
set, to the adroit and somewhat extravagant
manner in which our St. Louis friends are
wont to press their claims to commercial Im
portance, and even supremacy. A casual
glance at a well known banking journal con
Arms us in the opinion we had formed. The
St. Louis Clearing-House reports stoolioeoeoee
as the resultof the last year's banking business
of that city. This sum looks very large, and is
oaloulated to convey a very exalted idea of the
Anancial transactions of the "Future City." But
a "round, unvarnished tale" will upset the cal
eulations naturally deduced by unsophisticated
people from these "official" data, The truth is,
that the St. Louis Clearing-House makes re
turnp of credits and debits, and the seeoeeaoee
must necessarily be divided by two, which will
give, in round numbers. Swoaoo,eeo as the total
result of the business of that much vaunted city.
Here in New Orleans. and it is the general
oustom in other cities, the clearing-houses re
turn only the credits. Those in New Orleans.
during the past year, amounte I to a little over
596,000,000--only 175.00e,000 under the sum which
St. Louis, with double the population of New
Orleans, is entitled to. Comparisons are gen.
erally invidious, but we could not permit this
statement to go forth uncorrected.
The Jetties.
A Western contemporary makes the state
ment that the jetties at the South Pass have so
tar cost$1,400,000, of which the national treasury
has, as yet, paid only s$5e.000. We do not give
this as a matter of news to our readers, but
simply, in connection, to copy the following
paragraph from the lit. Louis Republican of the
lath inst.:
Now that Capt. Ends has fairly earned his sec
ond ha -million of dollars, the outcry will be
tadt he got his channel by dredging and
not by te jetties. In anticipation of this it
ma as Well be said that no dred eboat ever did

p a ann for twenty years for the money

inu matter whether he keels the depth by
dreding or not.. The only thing ople are
conoejrned in Is that he Is to be pal ci a oertain

and width, and a certain amount additional
or annum for maintaining that channel. If
le does that work it is of very small importance
bow he does it. The dredgeboats will be used
until the extreme depth has been secured, and
then their mission will be ended, just as surely
that the nitro-glycerine employed to blast
tie rocks from the Hell Gate channel, New
ork, is no longer needed to keep those rocks
from reforming.
The Cotton Yield.
The Financial ChronIcle, In its last number,
reviews the reports of the various cotton ex
changes for December 1. and arrives at the fol
lowing deductions:
Th gives us a crop of 4,0t9,070 bales, or 87,
t0 bales more than the reports of last month.
his increase is due to a material change in the
timate for Louisiana We make no account
(for te purposes of this compilation) of the
anges in acreage from last year, for the
reason that the Cotton Exchange reports have
always heretofore given the yield of the State,
and not the condition of the plant. But if we
understnd rightly the New Orleans report this
month, they would have us add the increased
in their department to their estimate of

The shipments of wheat from British India

oti etll It Is probable, however, that a
arge proportion of the American ealicoes ox'
ported constitutes surplus manufacture which
the home market is unable to absorb, and which
is consequently forced off at a loss abroad.
Wheat from mouth Russia.
The New York Journal of Commerce says:
We have a very blue and bearish report from
the United States Consul at Odessa about the
grain crop of South Russia for the current year.
le says it is the largest harvested for twenty
flive years, was well gathered, and mostly n
good condition.
The Consul ventures to think that this unprn
cedented crop when it can be got to market,
will "no doubt dove a depressing influence upon
the price of grain from other countries-a fact
that is worthy of note by American exporters of
grain." But those exporters will also bear In
mind that not abushelof grain can be moved out
till the war ceases-the Russians being effectu
ally blockaded in the Black Sea by the Turkish
fleet. With the war suddenly over and winter
coming on, probably the bulk of the crop could
not be shipped till next spring. The averago
annual export of wheat for eight years from
Odessa and South Russia, from 155a to 1H76
(omitlingls7s, for which no returns areat hand),
was less than 14 H10,000 bushels. The increase
on this must be very large to produce the result
confidently predicted by our Consul at Odessa.
The expected termination of the Eastern war at
en early day has already sent, down wheat two
or th ee cents a bushel in this market: but the
revort from Odessa will probably have but little
if any effect here.
Another Petroleum Coembination.
IChicago Tribune, is'h inst.]
A combination repi esenting $Sem,00ece0. and
intended to control the coal oil resources of the
country, as well as the relining and sale of the
manufactured article, has been formed in halti
more. The Standard Oil Company, which has
made other efforts in the same direction, is in
the combination, which was actively engineered
by T. N. Camden, of the Camden Consolidated
Oil Company, of P'arlaersburK, W. Va., The new
combination is named the Baltimore Oil Com
ppny, and includes the Crystal Oil Refinery of
West & Sons, and the refineries of Christopher
& Co., Brown Hammill & Co, United Oil Coim
Rany. lad ý Co., Messrs Sylvia C. Hunt, and
the referees of Newbold & Son, Carswell & Sons
and Roster Broihers are either bought out or
negotiations to that end are about being closed.
Negotiations are also being made with the firm
lols&Co. It. is b alievcd that by this act ion
all the outside minor interests will be merged
into one consolidation. The desperate efforts
made to control, and so raise the prices of. pe
troleum indlate that the manufacturers are
having a hard time, and need to use extraor
dinary means to keep themselves ailoat.
Removal of the Wheat Belt.
[From the Buffalo Courler.1
The removal of the "wheat belt." westward is
strikingly exhibited by the trade of Cleveland.
Only thirty-live years ago she shipped morn
wheat than any other port on the great lakes,
Buffalo alone excepted. Massillon. now scarce
ly known in the wheat trndo, was the chief
point of original receipt. and received a larger
amount of wheat than any other port in the
world from theactual producers. Now both
Cleveland and Massilion draw a large propor
tion of their breadstuffs and grain from the
Northwest. Westwar4 the wheat-producing
region takes its war; but this condition of af
fairs, although it will last for many years. will
not be permanent. With improvedlagriculturn,
wheat will again be grown in large quantities
where it is now neglected' and the inoreased
settlement of the West will, after a certain
point is reached, provide consumers nearer the
places of production in that region.

Thursday Evening, Dec. 20, 1877.
GEN#ERAL REMARKS-To-day has been a
rainy, gloomy day, and has thrown a damper
or "wet blanket" on business generally. Es
pecially was the effect observed on the landings.
The olerations in sugar were greatly cur
tailed by the above cause, though the demand
was good and the prices steady. The receipts
were light, amounting to 872 hhds; sales 365
hhds.
The demand for molasses was good, and mar
ket steady at a slight advance. Receipts 3181
bhls: sales 1562 bbls.
In cotton, notwithstanding the weather, the
demand was fair, and sales reached 7200 bales,
at prices fully up to yesterday's quotations.
The Liverpool and Havre markets had a down
ward tendency, but New York spots and futures
appeared to be a shade better.
There is a large stock of flour on hand, and
we have nothing that is striking to note in
this trade. There is only a small demand, and
that is merely for local trade. The arrivals t
day reached only 4000 barrels: sales, 800 barrels,
the market being dull and easy.
There was a little better feeling in pork, and
the market was Quite steady at $12 75, and $13 on
job sales to the trade.

The weather yesterday was cloudy and rainy,
with a stiff wind from the east.
Business not very active.
The John Means left Wednesday night, and I
will be followed to-day by the Storm No. :. The
Storm has a lot of sugar and molasses engaged.
The City of Alton left here with 125, hales cot
ton 225 hogsheads sugar, 1800 barrels molasses
and te0 barrels rice. She had besides a lot of
wagons, camels. etc. belonging to Coles'.Circus
and destined to St. Louis.
TheJ. 0. Fletcher left yesterday forthe Arkan
sas. Capt. Hennigen intends to run her between 1
Fort Smith and Little Rock.
The Cotton Valley laid over on account of bad I
weather; she go-s to-day sure.
The Charles Morgan arrived Wednesday
night from the Ohio, and the U. 1'. Schenck
yesterday morning. The Schenek was adver- 1
tised to return yesterday, but her late arrival.
together with the had weather, prevented it. 1
She will get off some line to-day. Capt. Carter I
claimed that as he was the last in, the Morgan
should be the first out, according to the "memo
randa" published in the river column of the
DEMOcRAT some time ago, but at a meeting held
during the day itwas decided that he should go
ilr.t. and that the Morgan should go to-mor
row.
Pollee-Where Were Thsw t
The W. J. i'oitevont arrived from the La
fourche Wednesday evening. Having a large
load, Capt. Terrebonne instructed the mate to
take off a portion of it. enough, in fact, to Blear
her decks. The mate found a crowd of about
forty white men on the wharf from which he so
lected a number, and started them to work; the
balance wanted work also and insisted on being
employed. Refused by the mate they became
noisy and made threats. Capt. Terrebonne not
finding any police thereabouts, sent to the har
bor Station for help. The messenger returned
without any, whereupon several of the more
demonstrative ones in the crowd attempted to
stop work by threats to the others, and by block
ing the staging. Capt. Terrebone again sent to
the station, and word was brought back that
there was no one there. The officers of the boat
were then forced to drive the crowd off, which
they did. Capt. Terrebonne feels that he has
just grounds for complaint, for from half-past
6 up to 1o o'clock, when the work was stopped,
and during nearly the whole of which time
there was more or less noise made by these
men, some of whom were drunk, not a single
policeman put in an appearance.
The Bart Able leaves for Alexandria and
Grand Ecore to-morrow. She will be at the
landing to-day.
The Assumption leaves this morning for

The St. Louis Republican, of the pith, has the
following news 1?) Item, in reference to the Kate
Kinney and the New Orleans and Red River
Transportation Company:
"TheKate Kinney, which recently left this
Port to enter the New Orleans and Shreveport
trade, as an independent boat, same as last
year, has been taken into the lied River
Transportation line, to which she was to run
in opposition. the left New Orleans on Fri
day niht for Shreveportcommanded by Capt.
Dannalls with Joe Dodd and Dime Devenney
in the office, and the balance of the crew of the
lost Lotus. The New Orleans papers say 'she
has entered the line,' but the Shreveport Times
received a telegram stating that she had been
tiurethsed. The fact is more probable that the
lied River Company has agreed to pay Capt. Joe
Kinney sit;eo for the use of the boat for live
months, to keep her In good condition, and in
case of her loss to Day S$Jt,oeutt for her.
The Bertha left for the Atchafalaya yesterday,

that he had etTeted the arrangement., and that
she would leave to-morrow. We could not.
ascertain positively if such was a tact, but
there isn't a doubt but that he will have a boat
to leave to-morrow. (Opt. K. does not let the
