HAVANA, July Is, 1859.
Messrs. Editors: Since my advices of the 9th
instant there has been very little doing in the sugar
market, although continued favorable advices have
been received from Europe. This fact can only be
attributed to the want of the usual facilities for OBJ
tanning money and the great frmness exhibited by
holders.
Shippers have generally kept back during the past
week, and holders continue to demand s to 81 rials
per arrobe for D. S. No. 12 nor is there any apparent
probability of Decline unless, as many persons fear
the political horizon in Enrope should become much
darker. My quotations to-day are the following ::

81 rials Nos. l3 to H. 81 to 50 rals Nos Is to II,

according to quality, III to 133 rals per arrobe.
