| Septem Der. against I.IJV.uUD TONS. II
seems more prudent TO assume that
our stocks viii show considerable
surplus in January and February. and
reach an unprecedented total then, but
that the statistical movements in Feb
ruary and September Will depend
much on Cuba, about which little can
be said. and upon consumption, which
apparently has been stationary last
season, as it has sometimes appeared
before, but which figure corrected it
self in the following year.
1t certainly seems that we can do
without Cuba, provided We get liberal
isowings next spring, and these will
then depend quite as much on the
price of sugar as of grain, which re-
quire close watching. AS to crop es-
Inmates, the factories have now also
issued their estimates, which during
the last two years have been 500, 900
tons and 100000 tons below the yield,
so that LIGHTS figures are considered
nearest the mark.
In Germany the extra weight OF roots
per acre 6 to u per cent in chief prov
Iinces) more than compensates for in
ferior quality (06 to 90 polarization) ,
but final yields everywhere are depen-
dent upon autumn weather and good
| keeping of the roots, which will still
| remain the finally determining factor
| in all estimates. In the face of large
prospective supplies, there has been no
| increase of business on the part of
| trade, and the cautious policy adopted
in Europe and in America, seems as
yet not unwarranted. We give latest
| estimates of new beet crop under date
of October 22d, as follows:
| 1S96-1S97, LIGHT, 1850 600 tons; Gle
| seeker, 4,645, 90 tons. The yield in 1896
| SO was 1928 ,S99 tons; 1S94-95, 1872 $50
| tons. LIGHTS estimate of the cane
crop for 1S96-97 is 1855 900 tons. In
1896, the crop was 2,704, 447 tons;
1S94-95, 2,S50,615 tons.
Our latest mail advices from New
York of Nov. 4, state that the market
for the few days past has been more or
| less restricted, on account of the cleo
| ton with a very strong undertone, and
with buyers of centrifugals and no
| sellers at last quotations of 3Hc for
| SO test; and for MuscovadOs 27sc for
| SO test. 1t now depends upon the Eu
lrOpean markets for a day or two,
whether next sales will be at higher
range. The tone of the market is GER
tainly confident and aggressive.
