cry will close down this week for the

EASTERN AND FOREIGN MAR
KETS.-Since @pr last circular the
market for raws in New York has i'm
proved, and although the American
Sugar Refining Company still cou-
tinue out of the market, the independ-
ent retiners. according to recent mail
advices, were ready to take all the
available stock at 3Ac for centriru-
gals, and some purchases have been
made at this figure. Most importers,
however are holding for &c, but con-
siderable stock could be had at 3-15-1G
cents.
Our latest mail advices from New
York of November "a state that the
local market has held fairly firm, but
not the same undertone of strength
has been exhibited as was previously
shown. Holders continue to talk &C
for centrifugals, but would accept
less. Muscovado sugar, SO degree test.

! Under date of London, November Il,
c. CZarnikow advises as follows: THE
! harvesting of the continental beet
/ root crops continues under favorab le
conditions, so far as the weather is
concerned, with the exception OF
France, where, owing to insufficient
rains, the weight is disappointing. On
the other hand the roots are being
stacked in excellent condition, and
the juice shows high percentage of
saccharine, which is expected to coun-
terbalance any deficiency in weight,
though some reports are doubtful on
this latter point"
THE accounts from the cane grow
ing colonies are so far good. Rains
have somewhat retarded the Iloilo
crop, but the prospects of the Philip
pines on the whole are much better
than last year. The shipments from
the Philippines to China and Japan
amounted during this season to 12O,-
600, but it is expected that 10000 tons
of the next crop will find its way
there, which would leave only about
100000 tons Gncluding 10000 tons wet
sugar. for the Western Hemisphere
From the Madras coast reports are
likewise more favorable and normal
crop is expected. Affairs in Cuba now
show little change, but the political
aspect seems on the eve of improve
ment, which must have an effect upon
the sugar industry later on. The lat
est advices from the Island estimate
the coming crop at 100000 to 100000
tons, which seems rather sanguine.

ports ports of United States. Novem-

the same time last year. The visible
production of the entire island of Gu
ba to November cath is $4,000 tons,
against 231,1 at the same time last
