Market Report,

The local sugar market has
ruled higher during the week than
it has for the past two or three
months, and prices are for stocks !
very low. No relief can be expected !
until the arrival of the new crop
Hawaiian, as the California Re-
fnery is placing all of its arrivals
of Manila and Java sugars in bond
in the temporary bonded ware
house on Mission Rock, so as to
take advantage of the change OF
the tariff in March. The demand,
however, for all grades will not be
large till Hawaiian crop begins to
arrive. Local prices are now fixed
on the basis of 64 cents for granu-
lated
The Eastern market is steady,
and gives promise of remaining so
until the tariff bill goes into effect.
There are no late developments in
the case of the Sugar Trust, now
before the New York Courts.
Parnelrs stand.
Charles Stewart Parnell, who
has led the Irish party in the Eng
lish Parliament since 1880, is being
vigorously opposed for the leader
ship Of his party by Gladstone,
and by the majority of Irish men,
bers no in Parliament. Parnelrs
troubles really began less than two
weeks ago, when an English Court
decided the famous O'Shea divorce
case by granting Captain O'Shea,
one of Parnells former friends, a
divorce from his wife on account
of criminal intimacy with the Irish
leader. Parnell presented no de-
Tense to the allegations that were
made, and as soon as the trial was
over, there arose an instant demand
for his retirement coming from the
3 better class of Irish members and
, the entire Liberal party of Eng
+ land. 1t was represented to him
that unless he Immediately with
drew from public life the cause O
Home Rule would be irrevocably
: ruined but, nevertheless, he re
fused to retire. Several meeting
r of the Irish members of Parliamen
Q were held during the past weel
I with a view to ousting Parnell
. That leader had, however, rallied
. to his support twenty-three of tn
Irish members-thc rag-tag an,
= bob-tail element of the party, am
p occupying the chair himself, sue
l. ceeded in out-generalling his oppo
il nents. After several stormy meet
ings, the poweriess majority sc
ceded and elected Justin Nc Carthy
:. the novelist, as leader, to succee
IL Parnell. Parnell's faction renewe
s their confidence in their leader, an
y at the coming elections in lrelan
a the question of Parnelrs continu
,e ance IN public life will be detinltel
o. settled. Gladstone has pOsltlvel
refused to treat with Parnell unde
any circumstances, and if Parne
wins at the coming elections, IL
el stated that the Grand Old Man wi
er retire from public life-that th
ID English Liberal party will give u
ID Ireland's struggle--that Harcoul
10 Will succeed to the leadership
IN the English Liberal party, droppin
- forever the alliance with the Iris
III party. Harcourt, it is said, hs
1e already begun negotiations wit
se' the Marquis of Harrington to il
of duce that once-noted Liberal
leave Salisbury's camp in case Pa
at nell is victorious and Gladstone +,
-, tires. Parnell IS now making
- trip through Ireland, where he
81 welcomed by one faction an
cd hooted by the other.
