SUGAR tP 1 BIT HIGHER.
Refined Now Half a Cent Dearer Since
California sugar Was Shei, ed.

All the sugar refining interests advanced
their list prices for refined sugars 10 cents
per 100 pounds yesterday, or To- the basis
of ass cents pound for granuated. This
makes an advance of nearly one-half Of a
cent a pound since il was decided by the
handlers of the consignments of California
beet sugar TO place these consignments
in warehouse pending a better market
for refined.
As the cost Of raw sugar to the refiners
has increased, however, their profits are
actually smaller than before the advance
in refined began. The difference between
the cost Of raw sugar and the net prices OF
refined is about IS cents 100 pounds. Ii In
supposed to cost at least ONE lalf of a cent
pound TO manufacture sugar
IL became known III Wall Street yesterday
that a few lots of new crop sugar have been
bought in Cuba for delivery here in Jan
udry at two and one-quarter cents "a pound
cost and freight basis, or one--lXteenth of a
cent above tine sppt raw sugar Irice. The
sugar was bought IN anticipation of some
reduction of the duty. In one trade quarter
II was said yesterday that If specuis tors con-
tlnue to buy sugar In Cuba II may have an
