WILLIAMS, DIM0ND e. co.'s CIRCULAR

Our last circular was dated January .,
1890, per Australia.
SUGAR.-The local demand has been
light for the past few weeks, owing to
the very unfavorable weather, which has
prevented shipments TO many points in
the interior. Both refineries are at work
being we'll supplied with raws again.
There have been two reductions in the
prices OF refined during the month. The
last change took place yesterday, max
ing prices OF the principal grades as fol-
lows: Cube, 67sc; d. Gran, 65sc; Elk.
c., 51sc; Col. c, 47sc.
Cuba Basi..-In accordance with sales
OF Cuba Centrifugals in New York, there
have been the following changes here in
the basis for sugars delivered under con-
tract, Jan 9th. 5.5S; 10th, 9-16; 10th.
5 ll-l6th and 23rd, $50. There were al
SO sales on the 10Th at ) 1I-l6, but no
sales reported since the 23d inst.
EASTERN AND FOREIGN MARKETS.
There is little OF interest to note and
the general condition of the sugar mar
kets of the world is much the same as
last advised.
There has been a further decline in
the price of Centrifugals as per above
quotations, and also a corresponding de-
cline in refined in the New York mar
ket.
The London market has shown little
change in the price OF Beets. On the 23d
inst quotations advanced to lis, Cd for SO
deg. test but declined again on the 2Sth
to lis, 71ad where they have since re-
NAMED.
Our latest mail advices from New
York, of the 23d inst state that there
have been few transactions in raws Re-
finers are in need of new supplies but
continue, however, to buy only for actual
| requirements.
Offerings from Cuba are small, on ac-
count of the lateness of the crop, and
there are only few cargoes available
| from Brazil.
More or less Beet has been coming d.
rect to refiners, but only small portion
| OF cane, and the amount secured by them
is hardly sufficient to equal the consump-
| ton.
On cost and freight terms few car
| goes OF centrifugals have been offered
| iIOii SuDN az oI4C lOI ~ OCS. tCSt, Will
| 31sc bid. Business could probably be
done at Slice.
Beet for prompt shipment has been
sold to small extent at 12s, Cd, cost and
| freight. The stock on the continent is
large, but not much suitable for the mar
kets of the United States.
Estimates of the present Cuba crop are
| further reduced on account of the con-
| tinued drought, and are now below
| 600, 900 tons. Other West Indies are
| likely to suffer.
Estimates OF the beet crop have been
again increased by LIGHT $4,000 tons.
| The crop at the Philippine Islands is
| late and no business reports yet. Stock
| at four ports U. X. January 23d was
1878 tons, against 162,377 tons last
| year.
Total stock in all the principal coun-
tries at latest dates to January 23d was
1,043, 404 tons, against 953,513 tons at
same time last year.
Our latest telegraphic advices from
| New York of to-day, quote Cuba centri-
fugals SO deg. test, 55sc.; granulated
638c.; small stock of raws and limited
market. Sales principally for forward
delivery. Beets SO deg. test, lis. I'D.
