has been more doing in Dry Fish with rise of

call Tor Mackerel is small; jobbers are selling at
last weeks figures, but they have been paying
Zoe more; the supply is very small, not over fifty
bbls In this market. Ondura and Valencia Raisns
weak and lower; other grades without change.
The demand for refined Sugar has been moderate
the past week and further decline in values is
noted. with granulated now selling aG 71sc and
Extra &c. Messrs. Wiilett, Hamlen & Co., in
their weekly sugar circular, say: "The features
of the week are the circulars sent out by the
Spreckels Refinery, Philadelphia, preparing the
way for sales of their product in the near future
as soon as they begin running, and the counter
circulars sent out by other refneries in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Spreckles claims, showing the pros
pect of sharp competition between Mr.. Spreck-
els and other existing refners 1t is not vet def
initely known upon what date Mr.. Spreckels will
begin to WORK his refinery" Stock in the four
ports at latest dates was 34,s59 tons, against
$3.50 tons in 1888. and $4,000 tons in 1887

cable dates is 3S6,362 tons against 429,84S tons

and unchanged; the stock in the four ports at
lates dates was 1887 hogsheads against 1884
hogsheads in 1888 and 1884 hogsheads in 1887.
Coffee steady with fair inquiry. The New York

advancing instead of declining market as was ex-
pected; the visible supply of Rio at latest dates
was 4s4, s02 bags against 1914 bags in 1888.

duce; trading has been fair
