CALIFORNIA BEETS.-We have again
been blessed with general rains through
out this State, and the prospects for the
coming beet crop at present would indi-
cate an abundant supply.
EASTERN AND FOREIGN MAR
KETS.-The New York market through
out the first part of last month, in spite
of the Indifference of buyers, continued
fairly steady. but latterly the custo-
mary holiday inactivity manifested It
self and the few transactions recently
reported were only for immediate re-
quirements. The American Sugar Re-
filming Company has kept aloof from the
market entirely. and the views of other
refiners have been largely influenced by
the weakness displayed in the London
market. due doubtless to the increased
estimates, large stocks. and absence of
purchases for American account. Ac-
cordingly, latest reports indicate down.
ward tendency. and concession would
require to be granted in the event Of
further sales.
Mr.. LIGHTS December estimate of the
European beet crop. announced 18th ut..
foreshadows a total production of $780,.
900 tons. an Increase of 10000 tons over
his previous figures. and in some we'll
informed quarters even this Is thought
u be rather below the probable yield.
for although the estimates of the fac
tories are somewhat less, every indica-
ton points to an exceedingly large pro-
duction. which, in conjunction with the
high figures established in the cane es-
Inmates for 1900-190l. cannot help exert
ing great influence on the worlds mar
kets: nevertheless in determining values
due allowance should be made for the
natural yearly increase in consumption
In Louisiana the grinding season Is
practically over. and former estimates
Of 10000 tons are maintained.
Reports from Cuba show that rain Is
'etarding sugar making, with CORE
ipondingly small January shipments In
and there is now an impress
sion that Mr.. Guma's estimate of crop
# 100000 tons should be reduced to Co., |
90 tons.
The Java yield promises to be immense,
md some are of the opinion that a total
production of 100000 to $4,000 tons may
De reached. although the official esti-
mates are now placed at 100000 tons.
REFINED.-The New York market for
refined sugar has been exceedingly quiet
and conditions have become more set
lied, although the trade shows no incli- |
nation to buy more than sufficient to
supply immediate needs. Every indica- |
