are no material changes to note during

that there has been some little business
in spot and near by parcels on the basis
of 9-16c. for SO deg. test Muscovadoes,
and Sic. for SO deg. test centrifs., but
cargoes for shipment have received no
attention. Refners are still working up
their direct receipts OF Louisiana and
also European beet, the importations of
which have been quite heavy recently.
Purchases at higher prices are not pos
sible as long as supplies are available
from above sources.

100000 tons of the Louisiana crop. Sell

offered for cane sugar, excepting that an
improved demand and higher values
