THE SUGAR MARKET.

Reports From Producing COun.
tries--A Larger Deficiency I'm
the Beet Crop.

Since last advices from the Coast,
the special correspondent of the AD-
vERTIsER reports that there has been
but little change in the sugar markets
of the world. According to reliable
statement the Cuban crop, to June
1st, amounted to 567, 200 tons, against
$4,000 tons last year. Though the
weather was still unsettled, grinding
had recommended on the south of
the island, and the cane still uncut
was figured at 100, 900 tons. The Cali
fornia Refinery at San Francisco has
advanced its prices / cent, making its
rates now equal, on all grades, to
those Of the American Refinery.
THE LONDON MARKET.
Our latest London quotations for
German beet sugar, SO per cent, were
les. Sd. per cwt. This has been fol-
lowed by a rise of 3d., the market
standing at les. Cd. Though purchases
nad been unusually light, the market
closed quiet and steady. The stock
of raw sugar in London on June 9Th
was 80, 488 tons, being 1000 tons less
than the average for the past four
years, and 10000 tons less than at the
same date last year.
NEW YORK MARKET.
Our latest quotations for Cuba
Centrifugals at New York were 6
cents. This has been followed by
rise to 81 cents, but the market, on
the departure of the Mariposa, was
weaker. Granulated had risen in
New York to cents, but subse
quently dropped to ga decline of
cents. Refiners are we'll supplied
and in a position to await further de-
velopments from the London market.
Sellers remain firm, but the demand
has diminished, consumers with
drawing from the market for raw ma
terial. Foreign buyers have taken
refined grades, which has been the
chief feature in sustaining values in
the New York market
PRODUCING COUNTRIES.
In Demerara the rainy season has
commenced and the crop will be less
than 100000 tons. The Guadalupe
crop is estimated at $1,000 tons,
against So, $50 last year. In Java the
weather is highly favorable for out
standing crops. Rain is badly needed
at Barbados, where sales are made to
Europe; the crop will reach 10000
tons. From the PHILIPPINE Islands
advices are that $4,000 tons have
sailed for the United States, against
36,673 to the same date last year.
In Havana the opinion prevails
among sellers that New York specu-
Iators have combined to reduce
prices and have caused the check in
the upward tendency of the market.
European beet-producing countries
report the appearance the plants as
unfavOrable; the crop is three weeks
behind that of last year. Rain is
much needed and the deficiency is
consequently larger.

THE IRISH POLICY
ON THE NEW BRITISH GOVERN
MENT.
An Elective Board for Dublin ian Place
OfVice Regal GOVernment-PrOb-
able Irish Policy Of the
a'OIISorV0fiVeS,


Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, who
is son-in-law of Salisbury, has been per-
mitted by the present Premier to speak for
him. His address to his constituents has
attracted profound attention. Salisbury
was a most persistent advocate of coercion
in Ireland Responsibility. however, has
apparently tempered his views and he feels
the necessity of letting the Tories down
easy" The most striking utterance in
Balfour's speech is an unqualified declara-
ton that he desires, not less than Chamber
lain, to see Ireland governed by equal laws
with England and to see all exceptional
legislation against the Irish people forever
abolished. The new Chief Secretary strong
ly supports home rule for Ireland, but con-
tends that this home rule shall extend to
local interests only. A remarkable change
of attitude in the conservative feeling to-
wards Ireland is indicated. The policy
which will prevail with the present Govern
ment favors the gradual replacement of the
Viceregal Government at Dublin Castle by
the formation of an elective Central Board,
to sit in Dublin and possess the power of
dealing with all internal questions of gov
eminent.

Care of a Watch.
[Cor. Popular Science Monthly. !

A good watch should be oiled once q
year and cleaned once in three years. If
a jeweler tells you that there is some very
serious trouble or break in your watch,
which will cost several dollars to get re-
paired, ask him to take the watch down "
to wind ones watch in the morning than
in the evening. since if you wind it at
night and expose the watch to the cold,
the chilling of the tightly wound main
spring may break it. Frequently empty
out the dust that accumulates so quickly
in your watch-pocket 1t will not injure

The death of Emperor William promises
to be the next great sensation IN Europe
Extraordinary precautions are being taken
to prevent the sending of any telegrams re
vealing his real condition, but private lei,
tiers give such discouragiug forecasts that
the news of his death is daily expected,
It's immediate political effect will be to bind
Germany and England together IN very
close union. The Crown Princess Of Eng
land will be Empress of Germany. aud the
coming Emperor is known as an affection
ate friend of the Prince Of W ales and Queen
Victoria. Nothing more opportunc for the
new Tory Government of England could
possibly occur.
The Ins aud Outs OG 1t.
All this was counted upon before Lord
Salisbury consented to take office. There
are hints of O second and secret treaty OF
Windsor that lad really more to do with
the change in the Administration than the
vague and shadowy promises made by Glad
stone. The Crown Princess Victoria assur
ed her mother that the death of the En-
peror was only a question OF few weeks;
that upon the accession of Frederick Will
liam the influence of Prince Bismarck
would cease to be a predominant and dis
turbing element in European politics, and
If England would heaftlly support the COL
onizing enterprises of Germany, there
would be no obstacle to an Anglo-German
alliance, as against Russia in Afghanistan,
France in Egypt, and foes OF rivals of Eng
land everywhere. This line of argument
decided Salisbury to accept the Office of
Premier and caused him to adopt the I'M
precedented course of combining with it
the office of Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, so as to keep the delicate negotia-
tons of the next few weeks or months care
fully within his own control.
