SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.
Extracts From Williams, Dimond
& Co.'s Circular.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-We have
no change to note in prices of local
sugar market since our last circnlar.
Price for export continues on the basis
of cents for granulated. The local
trade is completely demoralized on
account of the railway strike. Tele-
grams are continually coming in from
the country to the jobbers, who are
unable to fill same from lack of trans
portation. Last sales in New York
reported by telegraph, 9th inst, $4,000
bags a. 16-l0O.
Tariff.-The Senate finally passed
the Tariff Bill, on the Both inst, the
sugar schedule of which remains the
same as advised you in our circular of
May II, with the exception that the
bill will take effect August l, 1894, in
stead of January, 1897. The bill now
has to go before the House, which re-
convenes toIay, and will undoubtedly
be at once placed in the hands of the
House and Senate Conference Com
mittee, and while it is thought that
there will be considerable discu sion
on the main portions of the bill,
should it finally pass, it seems prob
able that a duty will be reimpOsed on
sugar. The amendment to the Sec
ton repeating the reciprocity clause of
the Mckinley law, declaring that the
repeal should not be construed to adj
vOcate Tabrogate?l reciprocal arrange
ments now III existence, was agreed
to and embodied in the bill as it
passed the Senate. The probabilities
are that the fate of the bill will be def
nitely settled within the next two or
three weeks.
Conservative operators admit that
so far as the simple relations of supply
ard demand may be concerned, the
market for raws has probably dis
counted stimulating effects, and the
principal feature now left r consid-
Grafton is the chance for duty and its
extent. At the moment the feeling
is strong, with buyers apparently
willing to pay former rates, but an
advance is generally asked.
Our latest telegraphic advice from
New York to date quotes Cuba cen

market looks steady, with improving

of larger crop than last year. Should
the tariff pass in it's present state, it is
predicted that raws will advance from
