The Sugar Situation,

Monday morning local wholesale grocers
will quote prices fixed by the American
Sugar Refining Company. and, as will be
noticed in the list of quotations. they are
somewhat lower than the highest of the
week, the basis being $500 for grannlated
President HGvemeyer, of the American
Sugar Refining Company, says: THE margin
between raw and refined sugar is less to-day
than it has been at any time since the
cholera calamity. Local raw sugar specu-
latOrs and Cuban Spectators have advanced
raw sugar except beet and the American
consumer is naturally the sufferer In no
instance has price of refined been advanced
beyond the corresponding advance in raw
The operation of the a. 5. 4. Co. will be to
melt up its available raws and give the
product to the American consumer at the
same difference as has prevailed. How long
supplies will last depends only upon what
the several quarantine officers and health
boards may determine. All the orders for
sugar obtained lately are taken subject to
indefinite delay
Wi!let & GTay's weekly sugar circular
says: Net cash quotations are: Muscovados,
&C; centTl ugalS, ) 9-l6c; granula ted, 4.90c.

done in Cuoa. Refiners have been busy try

SATURDAY, Sept. II.
The local commercial movement has not
been SO much under the spell caused BY the
cholera scare during the week as have in
vestlnept and speculation in stocks and
bonds and other lines where capital is rnled
by fears and shadows. Staples have had
pretty free movement to all points en-
braced by Pittsburg's arms of commerce.
and the character of the operations, partic-
ularlv on country account, has been such as
to cause increased cheertulness among
sellers. The course of prices has
been against buyers, though here
and there they have obtained some slight
advantages Breadstuffs have been steady,
with a little tendency toward improvement;
groceries have shown increased strength;
provisions got through tie week without
another decline; dairy products were drmer,
with cheese higher; and with the exceptions
of fruits and vegetables, which were easy
and lower, all other changes favored the
selling side. The trade influences peculiar
to this section, notably the iron business,
were in better shape, and so far as inquiries
were extended fairly easy collections were
reported.
Accepting the bank exchanges as a barom-
eter the volume of business for the week
was 7.9 per cent larger than that OF the cor
responding week of 1891
