HAVANA, Jan. 10, 1859.
Afessrs. Editors-The only transaction Of which
have heard in the Sugar Market since the date of my
last advces about 200 boxes (new crop) at rate
of % rails per arrobe for D. S. No. H. and other num-
bers upon that basis An offer has also been made
for all the sugars of welknown and favorte estate
could deliver during the present monthly of 81 rails
for D. S. No. IL and l04 rails for Nos Is aud Is per
arrobe; which, however, was not accepted. As it is
more than probable that before long there will be
much larger arrivals of the new crop, it is to be
hoped that planters will be induced to make con-
siderable concession 70 buyers, and thereby consult
their best interests for from the latest advices
from other countries, there appears little likelihood
of such extravagant ideas finding favorable res
ponse from abroad. .g .-,.-.,.s - ~
