staples the market is llteless the month so far be-

marked fallingo iu the volume of business as COM

about last weeks figures with firm feeling in Win

Sugars. which have advanced rapidly, due to the

The Sugar crop reports are favorable for higher
range of prices than now prevail and the prospects
of firm and better market are encouraging. 1t is
estimated that the acreage sowing is 15 per cent
less than last year for all Europe. In Provisions
prices are generally steady with light jobbiDg
