of stock in first hands, and with cuba
sugars firmly held, the market remained
firm for the first part of the month The
local refinerS being fairly supplied with
cane and beet sugars, and owing to ths
expected arrivel of Java sugars afioat,
buyers have not lately shown anv diSpo-
sition to purchase, which, coupled with
the expected usual dUllness of refined
sugars IN the fall has no ubt had a
weakening tendency for the time being.
Louisiana crCD is reported larger than
last year, hut TO great Importance is at
tached to this: Shouio there be any SUD
den demands in the New York market. 1t
