SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-The market for both OF
the articles under this heading continues quiet
with few retail sales Of Sugar, but no transac-
tons of q quotable character. There was some
little inquiry for Cuba Sugar. but buyers did not
seem disposed to invest largely atrulng rates, and
coDfne their purchases to very narrow limits. In
Molasses there is no movement whatever. The mar
ket remains quiet but firm, and we continue TO quote
Cuba Sugar 10 boxes, grocery grades l2&0l32c.,
Muscovado l31l4c., Porto Rico l4t9l5&c.; Louis
lana Sugar, prime to choice, l540l64c. % b

do. 42(t45c. u gallon.

referred to that reflect the business movements OF
| this city in such an impartial and unprejudiced
manner as the above, and we can confidently In.
dorse il for its accuracy In fact, 1t has occurred
20 MS that the writer or compiler Of the Slayback
Circular has been intended for the control of the

Could he not be prevailed upon to exchange posi-.
tons with the writer Of this Internationally pro-
| lOnged notice?
Considering the midsummer, when usually dull
we are pleased TO note firm and moderately &C
tive produce market, and while receipts are com
parstively small still the demand is good and
stocks of all kinds OF produce are being reduced
SJperfne and double extra Flour are very scarct
and under the influence of large order demand
for these grades, they bring nearly as much as 6
low Xxx, the latter being more plenty. There Il
no demand for low unbranded and fine Flour
Buyers are afraid il wont keep and samples near.
IN supertfne sell from 81 so to 81 under branded
supef6ne. Medium extras very quiet and
move slowly; choice held firm, but dull. Pro
visions are moderately active in retail jobbint
way and held very firmly. Weather pleasant anC
with the exception that we are having little to-
much rain the crop reports OF Sugar, Cotton an'
Rice are very encouraging. We quote to-1a.
