Another advance of - cent per pound was re-
ported In American sugars yesterday. The
brokers' handling Chinese sugars have not as
yet made corresponding advance, but prob
aoiy viii before long. No reason can be as
signed for the present upward tendency OF the
market, but it Is evidently the work OF the
sugar trus.
The retail trade has not yet responded to the
advance OF Il cent made in the price of sugars
within the past week, blu, such movement Is
anticipated, as the margin OF profit Was too
small to admit of such an increase in the bay
ing price without advancing the selling. Tho
war between retail meat dealers is now sharper
than ever and it is evident that unless some ad-
3ustment is made before long there will be a
good many butchers going out of business.
Poultry trade is dull. but the demand for fish is
FAIR. The demand for fruit and vegetables 10
very good, at firm prices. lemons being about
tne only thing that has advanced in price.
