SUGAR-Since the combination of T
finery interests there have bee
several changes adopted in Ii
regulation OF prices, and q con
binatlon has been established anon
the jobbers, whereby they receive Il,
per pound rebate on refinery lists, an
agree not to sell below the list prices, c
Duy any sugar elsewhere. Special list
are also made for different places, aC
cordlug to the distance and cost of trans
portation.
Contracts have been made with tn
principal canneries with a few exception
on the basis of 3 q 511xc. for graduated
There have been several importation
OF refined from Hongkong, which hav,
been sold in small lots at profitabl,
prices.
This sugar costs, laid down here dut,
paid, on the basis OF &c. per first grad,
graduated per steamer, and 1 S0-100c
per sail.
1t is also reported that there are few
small shipments OF German refined on
the way. This sugar can be laid down
here duty paid per steamer via Aspinwal
at 45S4c. per pound, and per sail via Cape
Horn at 35-100c. per pound.
These importations here have caused
an unsettled feeling, particularly among
those who are tied up under contract, and
1t has therefore been necessary for the
Western Sugar Refinery to reduce prices.
A new price list was issued on the
14th inst, subject to change without no
tice, and principal grades are quoted as
follows: Cube 55sc., D. Gran. &c, Elk.
c. 414c., Col. c. 41lc.
No change has occurred since, but
should further importations be made
prices will no doubt be promptly met,
although the refinery has still large
supply of high-priced raws on hand.
CUBA BAsIs-Sales of Cuba Centri-
fugals were made in New York 22d ult.
at Size, 18th 7-16c., Ist inst. 33sc.,
and 11th SIC. Since the 18th inst.
there have been no sales of Cubas, and
consequently We quote the basis to-day
at 81 &C, less the usual reduction as per
contracts.
EASTERN AND FOREIGN MARKETS.
Since our last circular both the New
York and European markets have ruled
dull and weak and prices have further
declined
The New York market has been gov
erned by the weaker prices in Europe,
and until there is a reaction there, no
can be looked ior.
Buyers have shown great indifference,
and holders have been watching the
foreign situation, which appears little
mixed.
There have been some receipts of
foreign refined in New York during the
month, but the quantity has not been
large, and consists principally OF Scotch
yellows.
Only sample parcels of granulated
have been received, as the parity be-
tween American and German produc-
ton is too near to admit OF free importa-
lions. The refiners in this country will
no doubt keep prices Just at enough diff
terence to shut out such importations.
Our latest mail advices from New York
II the 18th inst, state that the market
lor raws is still on the down grade, and
t is difficult to sell centrifugals at SIC.
Germany has made an extra drop of
ID. on beet sugars, which ought to indi-
ate nearness to the end, beet roots be-
ng very near to l3s. I'd, cost and freight. |
further reduction has also taken place |
n refined, which is now Age, but there
las been no increased demand.
