TRADE MATTERS.
Extracts from Williams, DimOnd
& Co.'S Sugar Circular.

SAN Francisco, August 3.-Sugar
There have been two advances
made in the prices of the Western
Sugar Refining Company since the
above date, the last on July 18th.
Otherwise, we have nothing OF par
ticular interest TO note concerning the
position Of the local market, except
that the distribution of refined has
been very large since the ending OF
the strike and the opening of railway
traffic again.
Prices for export sc. less or on the
basis of SIC. for granulated.
Continued at So. 16 from July
9Th to July 18th with cost of sales re
ported at this figure on the Sth, $4,000
bags; 10th, $500 tons, and 18th, 5000
| bags. On July 18th it advanced to
| So 30 (cost sales $500 bags, 18th, de-
clined to $40 (saleS $500 bags.
There were also sales reported at this
| figure on the 18th, $50 bags; 18th,
| 1900 bags; 10th, 1900 bags. On the
| 2lst il declined to SIC. (sales 1000 bags
and since then there has been no
| change.
Tariff-The bill is still before the
! conference committee, the principal
item OF dispute being coal, iron and
sugar. Latest reports intimate that
an agreement has virtually been
reached, but it will not be known for
| a few days. 1t is expected that
compromise bill will be finally passed
! and that there VIII be a duty of 40 to
45 per cent. on sugars, but the differ
/ entail duty on refined is uncertain.
I l., =, thArprnt that q m hill that
| can be passed will not abrOgate any
/ of the benefits of the reciprocity
I treaty of Hawaii.
/ Cuba Crop This has been forward
ed so rapidly that there only remains
! in the island 81, 900 tons of stock, with
a possible further production of about
! $1,000 tons.
/ On account of the Tariff agitation
/ planters have obtained one quarter
/ cent to three-eighths cent per pound
more for the crop than would other
wise have been paid.
Centrifugals, 96 test, 35c., ex wharf,
store or ship. Market, quiet but
steady.
Ali cane crop reports are favorable,
and the European beet crop promises
to be larger than last year.
Latest Washington reports concern
ing the Tariff state that there are
strong prospects of an agreement.
Carlisle proposes 40 per cent. on raws
and one-fifth cent and 40 per cent. on
saccharine strength of refined.

Rice Hawaiian, spot stock IN i'm
porters' hands is exhausted. Rice, eX
| Australia, sold at widely varying
prices: 44c. 60 days; Age. net, and &c.
90 days. The latter figure we quote.
The cause of this sharp advance was
| light spot stock and small amount on
way. Samples of old Carolina are at
hand, but fair article cannot be laid
down under 5!c. to ste. Japan, re-
ceipts 22OO bags, all of which was sold
at S4.S5 net. Owing to the war with
China, the japanese government has
stopped all further expectations Of
rice.
