tional Convention now in consultation
with Government officials at Wash

becoming effective.
EASTERN AND FOREIGN MAR
KETS.-Througho the month OF
April the market for raws in New
York has shown gradual but contin-
| uous improvement, and while at first
| offerings were light and sellers in
| different, latterly on the advent of
spectators in the market coincident
| with increased receipts, transactions
| have been more numerous. Latest
| mail advices under date of April 9th
| indicate a steady and firm market
| with buyers at current quotations,
the tone and tendency favoring sell
ers.
Fluctuations have been observable
! in the European beet market; never
theless prices have been fairly well
| maintained in spite of the falling off
in demand from England, where pre-
viously large purchases had been
made in anticipation of the imposi-
ton of import duties. At present it
appears that the offerings of beet SUI
| CARS are at prices above the parity OF
the market in New York, although
holders evinced for time consider
able anxiety to effect sales in this
country.
The demand for refined while quite
| moderate during the early part of the
month in review, improved consider
ably. but about the time that another
advance was looked for, the Interrupt
ton to and delay in shipments caused
by phenomenally bad weather through
out all the Eastern half OF the United
States, had depressing effect on bust
ness generally. Latest reports indi-
cate a moderate demand with little
probability of an immediate change
in prices.
CHARTERS.-Market has continued
dull and inanimate since our last, with
one vessel closeu at 1926 orders, but
durin the week past we have had good
and timely rains, and with a decline
in wheat caused by same and better
feeling in consuming markets, an adj
tions of several vessels spot and "to
arrive" at $50 orders.
