SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-0ur market for Sugar
has been quiet throughout the week. Operations
| were Of very restricted character, and buyers
have not at any time evinced any disposition to
invest freely at ruling rates, but have purchased
cautiously and in small way for actual require
| ments. Rates have been uniformly maintained
throughout, and holders, in view Of the variation
| in Gold, continue firm in their demands. In Mo-
lssses we have no transactions whatever to report.
Rates for this article are nomnally unchanged.
The total sales OF sugar during the week were l9S
hhds. and 250 boxes. Receipts during same time
were 662 boxes Cuba Sugar and exports Sugar

which 200 were for New York, las for Florida,
| 2075 for Texas, 2640 for Havana, 400 for st.
Pierre and lS2 for Belize.
CoRN-The movements in the article under this
heading have been of very moderate character
| throughout the week. The-demand was confined
entirely to local trade, very little having been
| taken up for expectation, and rates, which were
steady for some time previous to Wednesday last,
| began TO decline on that day and without any
noticeable Improvement in the demand, the mar
| ket closes dull and quiet. The sales to day en-
| brace 1900 sacks, of which 400 were white Corn
a. 81 024 500 do. at 81, aud 300 yellow at 81 10.
The high rates for the latter are attributable to
its scarcity in the market. The total receipts for
the week IA 1856 sacks, against 1895 sold. The ex.
ports were 95l, divided as follows: 100 TO Texas,
| 225 to Florida, and GIG 10 Philadelphia.
OATs-Were quiet but firm until Thursday last,
when holders became more moderate in their
pretensions end rates declined slightly, without
disclosing any animation in the market, which
closes dull and quiet without any sale to-day to
note. The ast sale quoted was at 64c. ~ bushel.
We quote Oats nomnally at 623 6165c. u bushel.

ports 500; 200 Of which were for Havana and 100

the week. while rates have not undergone any
rerceptibefcbsnge, but have continued uniform
from the opening TO the close. Receipts during
the week were 6506 sacks. Sales in same time
1910. Exports l2S5, of which 800 we're for Texas,
456 for Havana and 532 for St. Pierre. In the

200. Exports so bales-to Havana.
PORK-From the opening until the close of the
week under review, this article has continued dull
and dropping, with very little demand in excess
OF retail business for home consumption. Hold
ers generally, in anticipation OF a revival of bust
ness, and heavy acquisitions from the interior and
from abroad, have continued firm with their rates
for round lots, which, they claim, cannot be re-
placed in this market at reduced figures but, as
the week closes, there is evidently disposition
on their part to make some slight concessions in
favor Of buyers, who have for some time past
held aloof from investing at ruling rates. We
quote nominally, mess, in lots, $50 75 and $3l rs
at retail. Receipts during the week, 3S4s bbls.;
sales 625, and exports IS bbls., of which 40 were
for Texas, 30 for Florida and for Belize.
