Yesterday all previous records rec-ords were broken, as not only the lurgesf single cargo ever known was cleared, but the aggregate exports were phenomenal phenom-enal The steamship Conemaugh was cleared with a cargo consisting of 17,000 barrels and 190 bags of Louisiana sugar. This is an immense cargo of sugar, and is all intended for eastern refineries. The aggregate exports of sugar, all for eastern ports, for the day were not far from 50,000 barrels, tho actual figures being 41,200 barrels, 050 hogsheads and 190 bags. New Orleans Picayune. |
