FORT WORTH, TEX, Aug. 30, 1888.
Trade fair to- day.
The grain market continues active with no
change In prices.
There Is good demand for fresh egze and
& cd butter. Inferior butter Is slow.
GROCERY Staples.
Tea is sold In the West IS per cent. at least
lower than the absolute cost of production WINS
fifteen years ago There Ia. however, probably
only one point in the cost of production which
can be r duced-that OF transportation. At
present the outlook for holders of tea 10 any
thing but encouraging.
An Important fea ,uro In the sugar outlook at
present j. the free Offering In London OF cane
sugar Java sugar Is now selling on basis OF
lSs per cwt., while beet sugar Is selling at liz
per cwt In 1885, when beet sugar was quoted
at the same hgure Java sugar was bringing lle
sd per cwt., or la Cd over present values This
shows that now cane sugar Is relatively cheaper
than beet, and that producers OF cane In Java
are willing sellers at these prices. Either
the Java producers have no fAith In present
p-'ces or they are needy 81 Hers. This year, as
last, the Java CROP is stated to be smaller than
ils predecessors hut for last year the exports
| aggregated 80 S,s22 piculs against COCA, $40
piculs for pr evious year, whish was by far the
largest evlr known. The shrinkage in exports
wa, tht refore, only 5000 tons against an est-
mated shrlnkage Of 10000 tons The capabili.
ties of Java are equal o. Cuba, and the facilities
much in favor of the former. Therefore, Il all
the condi Ions are taken into consideration, the
probabilities are in favor OF the largest yield
