EASTERN AND FOREIGN MAR
KETS-The spot market for raw sugar
in New York has been quiet with very
few sales the past month Latest ad-
vices report an increasing scarcity of
ready cane sugars in the markets OF
the world, and prices asked at the pro-
ducing points are from / 16c to 1-Sc
per pound above the parity Of the spot
market.
Latest reports from Java indicate to-
tai exports OF the present crop to Nov.
80, SIS, 600 tons, this crop being esti-
mated at $50, 900 tons, leaves still avail
able for export for June /, 1900, $4,000
tons. The scarcity of cane supplies for
some time has turned the attention of
refiners to beet sugars, and the outlook
is for continued steadiness in the raw
sugar market.
C. CZarnikOw's circular, under date
of Nov. 90, reports nothing of special
interest in the market. Demand slow,
and the trade not tempted to do more
than supply immediate wants.
LIGHTS estimates have been increased
from 100000 to 100000 tons, and
with the favorable weather now pre-
vailing, il would not be surprising to
see the actual yield exceed even his
latest figures.
LOUISIANA accounts are still I'M
favorable, crop estimates having been
reduced TO $50, 900 tons.
CUBA advices report favorable
weather for coming crops and that
some districts viii show an increase
over last year.
Latest estimates of the sugar crops
OF the world, from Wi1lett & Gray, re-
port grand total of cane and beet sugar
1899 1900, S,414 900 tons, against 1898
1899. 7,937,463 tons. Estimated in
crease in the worlds production, 49,
537 tons.
We have had fine rains all over the
State for the past month, and contin-
uation of them viii mean large re-
turns of beets on this Coast, but too
early now to estimate the quantity that
may be produced.
COFFEE, Notwithstanding has
been done IN Hawaiian cofees for some
time. and we cannot therefore note any
change in the market based on sales.
The trade regard these coffees as priced
too high, ana it will doubtless be nee
essary 10 reduce figures in order 10
stimulate consumption.
RICE, HaWaiian-Last arrival was
| 500 Lags ex Australia; price 47sc less
| 10 per cent, but weak at this figure.
| 4 ssade OF New Orleans equal to Island
can he laid down here at 45sc today.
! JApAN-Selling at ASS less ~ per
cent Supply is limited and demand
has improved. The market, however
for ali rice is ruling dull. and at pres
ent writi!~, owing to the closing Of the
wear. jobbg will not buy before stock
| taking.
