/ EASTERN AND FOREIGN MARKETS
considerable business was transacted In
the New York market throughout the
early part of last month in sugars af1oat
and later, at a concession, for Cuba CEN

hand, however. refiners have shown
Discrimination to purchase spot sugars,
Influenced. doubtless, both by local
wea ther conditions and by their tnabili-
ty to handle the various arrivals that
were unsold, insomuch as they were
crowded with direct receipts; the result
being shown in a great increase of re-
ceipts over MEETINGS, and in the swelling
of importers stocks. The Impotence OF
sellers of raw sugar to dispose of their

willing to make purchases. In Cuba n

be ground everywhere, and all indications
point to the correctness of the previous
estimates OF large yield.
| NEW YORK. REFINED.-The quiet
market continues with no special indica-
lions, as buyers are only filling immedi-
ate requirements, and are evidently
watching carefully the situation as 1t de-
velops in the raw sugar market.
