NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 125 tons refin-
ed sugar to America from Hamburg
and Bremen. No engagements.
Raws-TheTe has been no change in
quotations during the week under re-
view. and all sugars offered on the
market have been readily taken by
refiners. There have. also. been trans
actions equivalent to the current basis
almost daily to some extent. for sugars
for shipment, so that the market has
been claSsed as steady and firm at - g
for 96-degree test centrifugals, not
the fact that the Euro
pean markets have shown a downward
tendency during the week. and close at
the low point of IS I'D for beet sugar, ,
which is as low d quotation az has yet

markets to nearly the parity of our !

Dur cable advices from Batavia show
III Increase of 10000 tons in the esti-
nate of the Java crop, instead of the
which was expected by some I
parties. At the close refners are show

Refined--For the greater part of the
week a good demand was experienced
"hich kept the reffhers busy in MAX
rg shipments. Prices and conditions
unchanged at New York The
markets at other distributing centers
However, show considerable changes
San Francisco refined advanced 80
'oints. New Orleans graduated de-
lined 10 points, to 4.55c net cash, while
ranulated at the Missouri river ad-
anced D points, to 4.S3c. making these
Wo markets now on a parity.
Toward the close the demand fell OFF
5 buyers now see no object in antici- .
ating their wants. Although there is
o indication of any immediate danger
ere, we do not find quite as much
onfidence in the general situation as
as lately been shown.
Cuba-Mr Guma's first estimate of !
le coming crop, issued on the Sd inst.
dictates a probable yield of $4,000 f.;
ms, being $4,000 tons less than pre-
iOus unofficial estimates. The situa-
on there is rendered the more uncer-
lin, however, by the lack of definite
formation as regards the probabl aC-
on of United States Congress on ques-
on of tariff concessions.
