tiica,cs sayg Tho steady mdcrtonc has

Tho Cincinnati Price Current believes that
the present cotton crop is second only TO the
largest crop ever produced.
At New Orleans the sugar market Is by no
means brisk and prices lack the strength
that characterized them recently. Open ket-
ties are fairly active cenirifugals show some
weakness. Moasscs, while not active, con.
tinucs steady, especially for centrifugals.
Buyers take kettles with caution, for fear OF
ferncntcd stock
Clean rice Is active and very strong, sellers
looking for higher prices. The stock Is very
much reduced, aud the daily turn out Of the
mills Is kept sold up. Rough rice Is very
strong, and all offerings meet with prompt
.talo.

Bull,iin, the main difficulty before the
grocery ,ynde Is such rs may arise through
the tariff reyisions, the coffee spcculations,
and the manipulations Of the sugar trust, all
Of which create more or lcss apprehension,
and for the time being are Frustrating. On
prices today few changes have taken place,
but, as rule the tone was rather tame at
the close"
