sumers american especially it is pos
sible there will not be the pressure TO
sell which, in the face of the large
beet crop, was at one time anticipated.
The actual yield OF Cuban crop Will
have an important bearing on the near
future Of the market, as the quantity
of sugar to be taken by the United
States from Europe Will be largely
regulated by the deficiency in Cuba.

Our latest mail advices from New
York of January Goth, state that the
market has shown firmer feeling,
without actual business consummated;
but buyers are willing to pay 33-16c
for $4,000 to $4,000 bags Centrifugals,
while holders are not disposed to sell
at less than 314c. Refiners appear un-
concerned over the attitude of holders,
and are depending upon such supplies
as come direct. Refined continues to
accumulate, notwithstanding the lower
prices, with the difference now only
soc between Raw and Refined. There
are offers in hand for future beet de-
livery at 9s Cd for May, 9s 6Ad for
June, 9s SAd for July, 9s Sd for Au-
gust and 9s 715d for December; but
thus far there has been very little spec
ulatiOn in the market.
The Arbuckles have begun putting
in the foundations for their new Re
finery, and it is understood will employ
working gangs for the day and night.
1t is expected that the factory will be
pushed to completion in the shortest
possible time
The Ways and Means Committee of
the Senate are hard at work on the
Revision of the Tariff, and it is now
reported that sugar will receive a pro-
lection of at least 11ac per pond on 80
polarization.
