BALTIC SUGAR AND COFFEE MARKET. Oct. 30
Sugars.-In the market for raw Sugars the tone
it is still contended, is cheerful aud holders say
that they have now made up their minds that
the full measure of depression has been expended
upon the market, and that now, with Cuba and
Europe favoring, the influences are ri pc for some
recovery. The buyers are principally local and
evidently not investing beyond immediate wants.
Quotations are 5lsa514c for fair to good refining.

fugal 71aa7a For refined Sugars the market
