hueAR Asp MoLAssEs-The market for Sugar
continues quiet, with very little inquiry in excess
Of retail lots Of few hogshesds or boxes. The

usual standard; while native Sugar Is scarce and
the Offering stock embraced in few hogsheads.

changed. We repeat: Cuba Sugar, NOS. - 70 o., -
i2SGl3Ro.; Muscovsdo, l2a@l3tc.; Porto Rico,

movement to note and no sales whatever TO re-
port. .-..

inquiry for round lots for exploration. Operations
in lower grades. particularly superhae, are
restricted, owing 10 the very moderate onerings;

but very small proportion Of superfne and other
low grades, ard consequently the supply, WIN
only an ordinary demand, soon becomes exhsusted
end prices enhanced. Sales to-day embrace ZOO
bbls. Of which 200 were superfne at 81, 100 single
