The Grocery Market.

New York, June 4.-The raw sugar mar
ket is very slow and somewhat unset
tied owing largely to the growing compli-
cations arising out of the rebellion in
Cuba. Buyers appear to be Indifferent
about purchasing large lines and on the
other hand holders are not pressing sugar
for sale. Prices are quoted at 3asc. for 96
test centifrugals, 2 15-15c. for SO test mus
covado and 11-l6c. for SO test molasses
sugar.
The market for refined sugar Is very
quiet and rather easy, though prices have
not been changed, the basis of quotations
still being 4 7-1G7s4Ssc. for granulated.
Coffee rules steady with Rio No. Z quoted
at 152la16c. and Rio No. s at 14laa14Ac.
Rice and molasses steady but dull.

BOIES is FOR SILVER.
Says the Gold MonometalIists Rav Q
Brought on the Issue.

ALTON, Ia, May 21.-In letter to the
Alton Democrat, Ex-Governor Boies of
Iowa comes out for free coinage of silver
at 16 to l ratio without waiting for any
international action. He SAYS:
ut is idle to expect the masses of the
American people to wait for the CO -oper-
alton of foreign nations before they set
tie this question.
81 frankly admit that if the question
is to be narrowed down to the single
issue of gold monometallism on one
side or unconditional free coinage of
both metals at the old ratio on the other,
l am ia favor of free coinage, because
believe it will at least be the beginning
of a broadened financial system that
will, if necessary, be so perfected in the
near future as to give Us an absolutely
safe and sound currency, the foundation
of which will be, legally at least, and, l
believe, practically, the equal use OF
