SUGAR MARKET.

Following is the latest quotation on
the sugar market from Williams, Di-
mond & Co. IS circular, dated January Sd:
There has been no change in the Cuba
basis since November 23d, and it is still
sac for 96 deg. test, although the value
of Cuba centrifugals in New York, De-
cenber 31st, was &c for SO test.
All foreign markets are firm, and
prices continue to advance. London
beets, SO test, were quoted in our last
circular at los Sd. On the 18th ulto.
they declined to lbs I'D, and since then
quotations have been as follows: De-
cember 18th, los 41ad; 21st, 15s Cd;
22d, los; oath, los I'D; 9th, les;
29th, los AID, and 30th, los Sd. The
United States markets have not yet fol-
lowed the advance of foreign markets,
but it seems to be only question of a
short time when prices in this country
must further advance.
Our latest advices from New York of
28th ulto. show no particular change in
the situation from that last advised, ex-
cept that holders are firmer in their
views and less disposed to sell at pre-
vious prices.
The strong position of all markets out
side of the United States is the most
prominent feature of the situation.
Refners are holding off, only taking
an occasional cargo of low grade sugars,
that may be available at cheap prices.
They are enabled to do this by moderate
receipts by direct importation and light
production.
Cuba is holding with renewed conf
dence, az English buyers will pay better
prices than can be obtained in the
United States.
There is some indication that the
Crust" is beginning to realize that they
have allowed the market to run away
from them, for they are now willing to
buy at prices that were asked ten days
ago, but can find no sellers. The sup
ply of desirable grades on the spot is
practically nothing, but a large line of
centrlfugals could be readily placed at
31ac cost and freight for 96 test Sellers,
however, appear to have withdrawn and
prefer TO hold for the high prices that
seem inevitable.
The position of supplies in all parts OF
the world is so strong that sellers begin
to feel Indifferent and refners are begin
ming to be anxious.
Total stocks in all the principal coun-
tries December 22d was 735, 13O tons,
against 800, 800 tons last year, and
against the previous weeks figures of
736, 1924 tons and 823 ,816 tons.

THE LABOR FEDERATION.

We have had the Knights of Labor, and they have almost faded away. The Ameri- can Federation of Labor, which is holding it's annual convention in St. Louis, is rising into prominence. It has not large mem- bership in the New England States, but in New York and the West it's numbers are great and growing. In December, 1886, the membership, then for the first time accurate ly reported, was about three hundred and sixteen thousand. A year later it had in creased to more than six hundred thousand, 8 gain of nearly one hundred per cent.
 The Federation is avoiding some of the blunders which did much to wreck the Knights. It is not costly to it's members. All the money exscted from the members in the shape of dues is the small amount neces- sary to provide the officers with 8 single room for the transaction of their business and to pay the ordinary expenses of correspon- dence. Furthermore, it imposes no burden some assessments to carry cn strikes, as these the very last resort, and so it has engaged in none of any size. And not the least impor- tant respect in which it differs from the Knights is in the thorough recognition which it gives to the independence and autonomy of the trades. Instead of trying to organize all workingmen, of whatever degree of skill, it simply unites the different trades and unions by the loose bonds of fraternity and alliance, and leaves to each union full power of regulate the affairs of it's own trade.
 The Federation has good start and it is founded on sounder basis than the Knights. It may continue to grow and may net. The Providence Journal remarks: It would not be surprising if 1t had already reached it's maximum strength, or near it, in numbers. American workingmen are not naturally given to union, and there is but little in their special circumstances to bring them together. Probably the majority of them never be- longed to union of any kind, strictly so- called; and those of them who have tried the experiment have met with so many discour- agements in the last two or three years that they will be found, presumably. but little disposed to make another venture. The field, therefore, for the natural expansion of the Federation would seem to be limited.
