CARDENAS February 2l-For the first two days sub
seuent to the departure of the last correspondence hence
our sugar market showed the same feverish excitement
as that observable during the preceding week On Mon
day and Tuesday last sunry parcels of sugar changed
hands at rates ruling from So upwards for fair
good refining While lots of fair grocery readily obtain
ed SA to SBand the crop of one estate producing
700 to 500 hhds.-mostly good refnng-was contracted
for at SE rs
On the receipt here however, on Tuesday evening of
the advices brought to Havana per Black Warrior all ac
ton on the part of purchasers suspended and very
few transactions have taken place since that date
We hear of small contract entered into 16th
for the crop of estate good refining rs and few
parcels have been taken to complete cargoes at prices
ranging from Sh to SA for good grades. But
OF no transactions of importance.
The decline, however in the northern
be said to have been felt in otherwise
the suspension of demand planters believing the epres
sion to De only temporary show little inclination
asking rates. and in consequence of the many crops
sold at the of the season. they have but
few goods comparatively in storehouses should
not be surprised to the produce of those which
have not been sold, held back by the planters for
time.
Moasses.-Several cargo purchases have been made
during the past week, at rs for Clayed and rs
Muscovado Although demand is not very active, still
our dealers decline accepting lower terms and the
majority of them have stl to deliver heavy quantities
on sales made earlier in the season, it is unlikely they
will submit to decline until their overecepts should
oblige them to part with their surplus stock.
Freights- Continue excessively dull few vessels
have been taken for Sugar 81 Northern Ports and
at SIX and SIX for Molasses Althouqb the amonnt Of
