caused by any increased trade dem and
IL seems that the covering of previous
bear contracts is responsible for this
slight improvement, and whether il
can last depends chiefly on the hold
| ing power of factories and on the ex-
tent of next Spring beet sowings. A
point of considerable interest TO the
sugar trade is the reduction in price of
July 80 per cent. on roots for next
seasons delivery, 10 which many far
mers abroad have submitted, but how
! far such a reduction may interfere
with the future supply of sugar, is a
matter of conjecture. Probably a
small area, really not fit for beet Gull
tivation, will, at present prices,
not be sown again. In the
meantime the offerings of for
eign refined for delivery during
the summer months at prices leaving
little or no margin continue, thus Sc
rlously handicapping home refiners,
who show no inclination to anticipate
their wants far ahead. Grocers, too,
supply only their current wants,
which as usual during January, are
not large.

Rice.-Hawaiian: Before arrival S.
s. Australia, with 24e0 bags, rice was
selling at S4.25 net cash. The small
quantity arriving and none on the
way caused price to advance to Acc.
net cash. 1t Is a case of quantity MAX
ing the price.
Japan: Receipts, 1900 bags. This
rice Is in fair demand and being sold
to the trade at $500 to So s. net cash,
duty paid.
Rangoon: This rice is offered at
$3.50, duty paid, packed in 100-lb.
bags. The local trade do not take
kindly to this rice and bulk Of it will
have to be sold in bond to Central
American points, taking place of
China mixed.
Mexican: Market bare.
Kona Coffee.-Last sales of good
qualities were made at zoe. at which
price there are free buyers. The latest
arrival, comprising los bags, are held
at 20i, but so far only one small parcel
of 40 bags has been placed at that
figure, though dealers intimate their
Willingness to divide the difference.
All coffees are firm in tone and bust
ness has been very active, especially
in Central Americans, until within
the past four days, during which
the demand has slackened consider
ably. AS this is the beginning of our
season of heavy receipts from Central
America; prices for those descriptions
may ease Off slightly. Kons coffee,
however, occupies an independent
position as a rule, and provided re-
ceipts of this coffee are not too heavy,
holders stand a fair chance of estab-
fishing demand at their present asking
price.
