EASTERN AND FOREIGN MAR
Notwithstanding to latest mail advices
from New York under date of 9Th inst,
buyers In the raw sugar market. indiffer-
ent by reason OF heavy receipts, are dis
posed to withdraw entirely from the spot
market, rather than to burden them
selves with further supplies. and sellers
are obliged to offer concessions In order
to effect sales. A weak condition of the
market accordingly prevails, although
further pressure on the part of sellers
may stimulate purchases at decline.
The reduction in refined OF rs points has
brought about much better demand,
where previously transactions had been
on a very limited scale, since buyers
were evidently holding off In anticipation
of a substantial drop in prices. European
beets are weak and declining, but 1t Is
noteworthy that conditions there are
exercising little. If any, influence on the

crop, 5000, 900 tons, shows an increase of
900 tons over his previous figures, and
ass 900 tons more than the crop of 1899
1900.
