OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER
San Francisco, February 90, per 5. 5.
Australia.
lFrom our specl.1 Correspondent

The S. S. Australia leaves to-day
at noon, this hour having been fixed
for the departure of all the Oceanic
Company's steamers in future owing
to another change in the overland
mail time table, the mails now arriv-
ing in San Francisco at s o'clock in
the morning.
Sugar News.
The local maket for refined sugars
underwent the first change in many
weeks on February 23d, prices being
reduced / cent by the California
refinery, the American following
suit. This makes list prices for
granulated 81 cents and cube IS
cents.
The market for raw sugars re-
mains unchanged at 5 GIG cents for
90 degrees. Stocks are firmly held
at this figure. NJ LIGHT has reduced
his estimate of the yield In Austria
by 25,OOO tons. The Cuban crop will
show a deficit of ten per cent owing
to the hurricane of last summer IN
connection with the low test of the
mice which is not above 9 % 10 de
Srees in some localities. The Brazil
crop is estimated to show delcl-
ency of 10000 tons, and offerings
from there are very light. The
Louisiana crop has all been mark
eted, consequently supplies must
now be drawn from abroad. The
price of European beet sugar Is
about 3 cent above the parity of the
New York market, and the lndIca-
tions are that there will be an adj
vance in the price of raw sugar in
stead of decline, as has been Gus
tomary at this season for several
years past. The stocks in Eastern
ports are 10000 tons less than a year
ago. while the total stocks III the
principal countries of the world are
over 100000 tons less than at this
date year ago.
