HAVANA, Oct. z, 1860.
Mr.. Editor There have been but few transac-
tions in the Cayed Sugar market since the date of
my last advces. This circumstance is attrbuta-
Bile to the very small offerings of dry sugars and
the high rates demanded for them. Holders would
appear TO be holding back their produce in the
hope Of higher rates being soon obtanable, before
the new crop can be received The ruling rates
for dry qualities, according to the season, is 81
reals for D. s. No. IL per arrobe, whilst uncom-
monty good dry parcels bring /, and in some
cases even higher than that quotation, whilst
damp inferior lots can be had as much below.
The stocks here and at Matanzas are estimated at
about lA3, 900 boxes against 1853 900 boxes at this
period last year. M
