Sugar during the week Just closed in

|! keIs by the passage OF our tarlh bill seems
TO have developed the fact that other intiu-
ences are at work TO bring the long contin-
! red depression in sugar 10 an end, aud TO
{ start reaction which may result IN a
} steadily continued advance. Cuba Is rap
idly advancing prices upon what appears TO
be well-based expectation OF crop OF less
than 10000 tons, against about GO o. tons
last year. The British and other West In
J dia Islands a'e advancing prices for the
same reason, viz; less crop than antici'
pated, and less than last year. The Philip.
pines are locally speculative, and adyanc-
ing under the impetus OF large chartered
tonnage 10 load in the next lew months,
The Brazil crop is virtually at an end, and
only half crop. The excess In the United
Kingdom is diminishing, and the next bes.
crop is uncertain. Under these influences,
with only a moderate stock to draw upon,
and much of that held for the reduction of
duty ON June |, there is no course open for
the United States TO obtain continued
supply Of sugar, except by paying the
prices demanded. Hence, the position is
extremely strong, and is likely TO continue
So for the tact is constantly before us that
the countries ON which we mainly rely for
full supplies will not this year meet our re-
quirements, aud We must look elsewhere
for very considerable amount of sugar.

| principal ports was so, 900 tons. against 49,
600 tons last year. As the above reports
from the five principal ports include about
| lO,OU0 tons OF old crop, it appears that the
new crop is ut this time over 10000 tons be-
hind the last crop In receipts. Latest and
highest sales thus far are at 3lGC, commits

The last congress passed an act TO pre-
vent the importation Of spurious or adul.
terated tea, which act provides that from
and after its passage at shall be unlawful
Tor any person or persons, or corporation, to
import or bring into the United States any
merchandise for sale as tea, adulterated
with spurious leaf or with exhausted leaves,
or which contains so great an mixture of
chemicals or other deleterious substances as
10 make II unfit for use and the importa- |
ton OF all such merchandise is hereby pro- |
hibited," On making the entry at the |
custom-house the importer has to give bond |
not TO remove the tea until released by the |
authorities, who must, within three days, |
examine samples OF each line, and ii |
y IS found to come within the prohibit
tons OF the act, final examination must |
be made by experts, and if the first decision |
Is sustained by them the spurious article !
must be shipped out Of the United States
within SIX months, and if not shipped out |
the collector of the port, at the end of that |
time shall dstroy it. The act is not to be |
enforced in regard to tea actually on ship. |
