Latest mail advices from c. CZarn--
kow, London. under date of August
10Th, are as follows:
"The German demand continues
good, thus relieving our market from
over supplies, and GRADUATED keeps
steady, so that our consumers cannot
remain out of the market for any
length of time. The quieter demand of
this week after last weeks activity. is
therefore expected to be temporary,
and the rise in cereals yesterday has
already effected Continental Beet
markets, where prices have recovered
last weeks level.
"The reports of growing Beet crops
continue good; the leaves especially
are developing largely, which, so far,
is satisfactory, provided Autumn
weather is favorable; the weight of
roots is likewise above last years,
whilst the polarization remains be-
hind. The July figures show a heavy
decrease of stocks in France. but
LIGHTS German stocks are disappoint-
ing, though the strong demand for
home use may soon effect an altera,
ton. In Russia the combination OF
factories has managed notwithstand-
ing very heavy stocks and nearly Is
per cent increase in weight, to keep
prices so high that the Finance Min
lister has released the legal reserve
stocks for home use. This may de-
press prices, and lead to expectation
of old sugars on new allotments. The
crep news is good, the weather lately
having been very favorable.
''ln America, Notwithstanding the
steady reduction made during the last
few weeks, stocks are still large so
that refiners can keep out of the mar
ket for some time, besides, far
quantity of Javas lately sold to the
United States will become available
during eptcmber-October. But for
long time cane (from countries not
granting bounties) will be the only
description really interesting buyers,
though the higher duty charges on
fine cane must be considered when cal
culating parity between cane and beet
products. For cane sugar on the spot
and near at hand there has been an
improved inquiry in u. X, but holders
being impressed with the small sup
ply available. only offer sparingly.
