Our latest mail advices from New
York of January Goth, state that the
market has shown a firmer feeling,
without actual business consummated
but buyers are willing to pay 3-16c
for $4,000 to $4,000 bags Centrifugals,
while holders are not disposed to sell
at less than SIC. Refiners appear I'M
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 IS Cd for May, IS 6%d for
June, 9s SID for July, IS Cd for Au-
gust and 9s 712d for December; but
thus far there has been very little spec
ulation in the market.
The Arbuckles have begun putting

pushed to completion in the shortest
possible time.
The Ways and Means Committee OF
