PRIcrs Muscovados and low grades have
remained nearly steady during the week with
a good demand and closing firm on basis of
So for fair refining. Centdlugals have been
in small demand, owing to small demand for

mostly ex ship, show decline Of Is but are
no criterion Of the market, as nearly all holders
Of centriugals in store still maintain Their
prices at and upwards, 90 y test, and a re
newed demand for this grade would make
them quite as high again relatively as musco.

pie sellers OF muscayados. Refined have been
in steady demand, with the exception Of granu.

increasing demand. The low price of resned
induced a small export demand, and about 4oc
bbls were taken mostly for London. The fit
mer market lacks further purchasers. The
statistical position continue to improve. Re

only ?, 255 tons. Stocks in all hands are reduced

daily. which is less than in May and June o
this year, and July Of last year, and indicate.
larger MEETINGS for August than last years.

the estimates OF short sowings and renders
shortage in the crop a certainty, the full eS
tent Of which depends upon the weather ant
cannot yet be fairly estimated. The STEADY
reduction now going on in the total stocks .
consuming countries, should soon draw NOR
attention to the effect upon prices Of shor
beet root crop.
