SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-0peration 10 Louisiana
Sugar and Molssses have been restricted through
out by light receipts. Nearly all the stock on
hard is in second hands and is selling in retail lots
at retail prices. Sugar is quoted at l541l5tc. for
prime, l6Gl63c. u ID. for white. In MOlasses
prices are too irregular for quotations. There
has been some movement in foreign sugars and
some sales, but on private terms, and prices are
so irregular that we find il impossible to give cor
rect quotations. Cuba Molasses is quoted at 479
5Sc. u gallon.
