EASTERN AND FOREIGN MARKETS
H-Considerable business was transacted in
the New York market throughout the
early part Of last month In sugars afioat
and later, at a concession, for Cuba CEN
trifugals, March shipment On the other
hand. however, refners have shown a
Discrimination to purchase spot sugars.
Influenced, doubtless. both by local
weather conditions, and by their inabili-
ty to handle the various arrivals that
were unsold, insomuch 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
holdings soon became manifest and con-
siderable business resulted in a reduc-
ton of price about the 18th of February,
but this activity was Of short duration,
and latest reports under date of March 1
reveal hesitancy on the part Of refin-
ers to make further purchases at pres
ent. Consequently, 1t looks as though
concessions would again have to be
made In order to encourage sales. The
European beet sugar market has been
generally featureless throughout the
month, with slight fluctuations, and it is
noteworthy that conditions abroad ap-
pear to have exercised slight influence
upon the general trend of the market in
this country.
Earlier reports Of a large Java crop
appear to be confirmed by latest advices,
and as bearing upon the situation in New
York, it is interesting to note that Javas
are being offered for August-September
arrival but refiners are apparently un-
willing to make purchases. In Cuba a
great number of centrals are now work
ing, and evidently there is much cane TO
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 it de-
velops in the raw sugar market.
COFFEE-Stock of Hawaiians in first
hands today is 5,165 bags. Quotations
have not changed since our last although
poor to fair grades at from 1-2c to
3-4c. Sales reported since our last COM
prise 935 bags at prices ranging from
1-2 to lac, according to- quality. Mar
kets abroad are improving and our mar
ket is little firmer
R1CE.-The Southern market is even
stronger than our last reports The sea-
son is nearly over and most of the mills;
have closed Estimated amount of rice

30 am
time last year. We quote Louisiana rice
at liz TO Lac, according to grade Do
mestics from Japan seed are in good de-
mand, especially lower grades. We quote
Sac to a 3-4c. Imported Japan in light
demand at 4.65c, duty paid

the North, owing to holders of wheat
asking extravagant prices.

from consuming markets, very little is
