in the prices of refined in this market.
Owing to the present low railroad
freights large quantities of'both raw and
refined are being shipped to the East
ern and Western States. These ship
ments will no doubt continue until
freights are advanced again.
EASTERN AND FOREIGN MARKETS ~
The New York market for raws has
continued dull, and the business trans
acted has been at reduced prices. The
first sale of Cuba centrifugals since the
18th of February was made on the
Goth, 534c for o6 per cent; on the sd
inst S 18c for oS per cent, making basis
here for late arrivals $3.50 for 90 per
cent. Rehners are still unwilling to
provide for their future requirements,
and buy in the same cautious manner
that has characterized their operations
for some time past. The London
market is closely watched, which for
the present seems to be the key to the
situation. On the sd inst. London adj
vices indicated better feeling. Beets
were quoted at 1873. Since then the
market has ruled steady at the advance
established, which encourages the belief
that a substantial reaction has taken
place.
PRODUCING CoUNTRlEs-L Latest mail
advices state that the beet crop remains
at the same deficiency, say 100000
tons, but the effect on stocks and prices
is not yet shown. The sowings for
next crop are said to be limited by ar
rangements among lubricants in Ger
many to about the same acreage as last
year. No producing countries seem tc
promise any larger crops than previously
reported, and some of the West India
Islands promise smaller. The stats.
teal position as regards supplies point:
to decreasing tendency. Receipts OF
raw sugar in New York from January
1st to March 1st were 2,S62 tons over
last year, and deliveries we're 1902
tons under last year. Total stocks in
the United States March Ist were I6,
$50 tons under last year, and in Cuba
stocks are also considerably under las
year
TARIFF-We quote from Messrs
Willett & Hamlins last advices as fol
lows: 1T becomes more uncertain
the bill will get beyond the Ways anc
Means Committee at this session, OWNS
to the different and divergent interest,"
+ to be considered. The country seem
scarcely in the humor for tariff agta
ton this year. The abrogation of tn
, Hawaiian Treaty is also being agitate'
as usual this season. California sugar
, refined from Sandwich Islands, ray
sugar, are being offered in St. Loui
and Chicago markets at same price
