SCGAR-The local market has under /
gone several changes during the month
Although the demand for refined aas /
been slack and confined only to actual |
requirements both here and IN the inte-
rior, still the prices Of both redneries
have been marked up &c. per
pound since March 18th. Various re-
ports have been circulated OF late to the
effect that virtual understanding has
been arrived at between the S2reckels
lot yet confirmed by either OF the
parties.
CUBA BAsIs-The following changes
have taken place n the Cuba basis since
the eIst ult-, according to sales made II
New York on the respective dates. Feb.

change, but sales were made on the 10Th

EASTERN AND FOREIGN M.ggErs-We
can add little OF interest 10 the regular
newspaper reports forward during the
month. All the Eastern r-fneries have
upon the Sin bond >" basis with the ex-
ception OF Havemeyers& Elder Refinery,
which has been delayed on account OF
the receipts of Sandwich Island and
Louisiana sugars, but these stocks were
no doubt worked up week ago.
On the basis OF Acc. for graduated in
bond lat which price sales for April de-
livery have continued TO be made plus
drawback duty of say 60c., price would
| equal l0c. duty paid 10c. duty paid
| less duty in April at average OF &c. per
pound is 5.10c for free granuIated in
April, against 41sc. now.
Under date Of March 18th, the spot
refined market was much demoraIized,
| owing TO the fact that wholesale grocers
/ than could be disposed of before April
LIST, and hence they have been trying in
/ all ways to resell TO each other, thus
cutting prices s to &c. per pound below
refined quotation. Buyers OF April
sugar are well filed up, but the
| demand in that month is likely
| to be enormous in consequence
| of the very great vacuum to De
| filled. In regard to the raw sugar
| market, prices have been fairly well
kept up a. will be seen by the above
quotations of Cuba centrIfugals- The
! transactions however have been OF small
| proportion and OF course will be for any
| parcels to arrive before April lst-
