EASTERN AND FOREIGN MARKETS.
There is no change to note in the gen.
eral situation of the sugar markets of the
world. Prices continue strong and the
statistical position continues to improve.
European markets are still too much
above the parity of our markets to admit
of much business.
There is nothing particular to add to
our last report concerning the condition
of the New York market. The control
ling influences of the situation have been
much the same for several weeks past,
supplies in all positions being held with
confidence. Refneries restrict their
buying to current requirements and have
pursued this policy on account of the
uncertain demand for refined, which, in
the early part of the month, was rather
disappointing.
Our latest mail advices of September
lst state that there is more disposition
among local buyers to replenish their
stocks. The demand for refined has
greatly improved and heavy deliveries
have been made. Supplies, however,
are offered sparingly and held firmly at
full prices.
Muscovados are readily salable on
the basis of 5-16c. for SO test, and CEN
trifugals on basis of 6l4c. for 96 test.
Reports from the Louisiana crop say that
the recent severe weather has damaged
it to considerable extent, estimated by
some to be from Is to 20 per cent.
