Extracts from Williams, Diuond
9 Co.'s Sugar Circular.

SUGAR.-The Western Sugar Rein
ing Co. have made two reductions in
prices since last circular, viz, &c. per
pound on the 9TH inst. and &c. per
pound on the 22d inst. We quote list
prices as follows: Cube, crushed and
powdered, Sc. dry granulated, 43c.;
confectioner's ga" Age; Magnolia
"a - 4gc.; extra SC" 44c.; golden &C."
4c.; "D'' sugar, &c.; standard ga"
4lc. Price for export is on the basis of
Acc. for granulated. The demand con-
tinues light, but the present low
prices are likely to increase orders
somewhat by inducing jobbers to car
ry larger stocks.
The reports from Cuba indicate a
large crop and are most encouraging,
in many districts equaling rapidly the
crop of 1892, when it reached about
1,O0O,O0 tons. All indications point
to an era of cheap sugarin consequence
of the increased supplies.
The Louisiana crop is very large
and now being marketed, while the
beet sugar crops of the west are also
of much larger proportions.
The Chino factory has closed, the
campaign having produced 10,O63,351
lbs. of sugar from 45 81 long tons OF
beets.
Reports of refined sugars in New
York under above date show a quiet
market and only a moderate demand,
with indications pointing to decline
when the next change comes.
Total stock in all the principal coun-
tries, 543, 1913 tons, against 504, 443 same
time last year.
Latest Geographic advices of today
quote beets, IS test, at Us. AID; centri-
fugals, SO test, at Sd. Holders are
meeting the market freely. Down
ward tendency and consumption fall
ing off.
Since July LIST it has decreased
100000 tons in the United States,
caused by the prospects of the large
crop. Beet and cane crops promise
well. Estimates unchanged. Euro
pean and foreign markets dull and
declining.

ferred S91.
TARIFF.-The Ways and Means
Committee expect to present the Tar
iff bill next week, but there is much
dissentIOn and it may be delayed in
consequence. 1t is very difficult to
agree on the sugar tariff, but latest
reports indicate that the bounty is
sure to be removed and duty levied
on raws of &c. and 1c. on refined.
The refners are fighting hard for this
latter or an extra protection on re-
fined. There are also rumors of an
ad valorem duty, but this is opposed
by the sugar people.
RICE.-Market unchanged. Heavy
stock will be carried into next year
unless sacrificed. Sales at 3sc. net, 34c.
sixty days asked. Carolina cannot be
laid down under 4e. Trouble in local
market is Overstock.
