vices, follows: about nine Thousand boxes clayed
sugars, crops Of three well and avorably known e.
tates of good quality, at $25 per l6 arrobies net,

Also 5000 boxes two crops at e24 so per 16 arobes
net Some other contracts are understood to be
under treaty, but as yet not concluded.
The sales of sugars on the spot have been quite
triing. owing chiefly to the small quantity in stock
which between this and Hatsnzas does not exceed
900 boxes aud the exorbitant pretensions of plant
ers increased perhaps by the latest received advices
from Europe.
Ny quotations must remain as per my last advices.
strong speculative feeling prevails, which, with
perfect plethora Of money and the difficulty Of find
ing profitable employment for capital, will probably
cause the current rates to be firmly maintained and
possibly even further advance in rates. to the mani
fest benefit Of sugar growers, but fear to the injury
