TRADE EXTRACTS.
From Williams, Dimond & Co. s
Circular.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feo. 1.-THE local
market for refined sugar continued
unchanged until the 18th inst, when
the Western sugar Refining Company
advanced all grades of refined &c per
| pound. Prices for export were also
advanced to 4Ec for granulated, taking
effect same date.
! The New York market has con-
tinued to hold its strength, and is
| constantly gaining, as viii be noted
from the quotations OF centrifugals.
The expectation of a duty is no doubt
the foundation for this advance in
prices.
Beet ROot-The last German figures,
which have now appeared, make no
appreciable change in the estimate
which LIGHT made for crop 1884.
Our latest telegraphic advices from
New York yesterday afternoon, quote
price of London beet, IS test, 13s. Id;
centrifugals, go test, .35. The mar
ket is rather less active. Holders de-
mand an advance, but buyers do not
respond. Prices are not likely to 90
much higher. Consumption falling
Off Estimates of the present beet
and cane crops unchanged. European
and foreign markets steady. Trust
certificates, common, 79s; preferred,
S23.
TarifT.-There has been considerable
speculation as TO what the Senate
Committee would finally decide on
tariff or sugar, but the best informed
have continued to hold out strong
hopes that duty of at least one cent
per pound would be imposed on raw
sugars. This is not satisfactory TO the
Louisiana delegation, whose votes are
necessary, and the question as to
whether an extra protection would be
given refined, has also caused consid-
cradle dispute. Our telegram of
yesterday states that the sub commit
tee finally offered Louisiana l cent
duty, but this delegation claims X
cents for their votes, and in cOnse-
quence the situation remains at this
writing uncertain, and all are now at
loggerheads.

CHARTERS-CargO quotations have
continued to decline, and wheat has
also touched the lowest point ever
known here, but is still considered
above the parity of other markets.
Shippers have shown but little inclina-
ton 20 make new engagements; at
the same time rates have remained
steady, handy iron being closed at 2Gs
Sd orders. About SOC, 600 tons of wheat
yet remain in the State, and prospect
for the growing crop continues all
that can be required.
No change in lumber quotations
since our last.
