Eastern and Foreign Markets-The
tenacity with which Cuban sugars
havakept aloof from the market in an
ticipation of a reduction in the duties,
is a marked feature of the period now
under review. Thus far this year re-
ceipts from Cuba have only reached
10,042 tons, the largest portion of
which was composed of old crop su-
gars, while in the same period last
year, 1854 tons were received. Coin
cident with this anomalous condition
of affairs, refiners have apparently
overreached themselves in their efforts
to take advantage of the demoraliza-
ton previously prevailing. and now
find themselves short of supplies The
necessity of replenishing stocks has
caused refiners to enter the market
freely, and avail themselves of present
offerings. in quantity considerably di-
minished by the temporary practical
withdrawal of Cuban sugars The re-
sultant effect is shown in the higher
range of prices which have existed
since our last report. Throughout the
past week, however, transactions have
been more moderate, and an easier
tendency is in evidence, according to
latest mail advices from New York

bill relative to Cuban sugars. and the
prospects Of a report favorable to a
reduction in duties are I'M

that in accordance with the wishes OF
the administration some concession
will be allowed. At all events the relief

closing of school to listen to the exam

if the moon was inhabited. The sci

in the front row, wriggled about and
raised her hand. Thinking to please
the fond parent, the teacher called up
on her to answer. "Yes'm; one moon

teacher. "The honeymoon" answered
the child. ITS inhabited by my aunt

ensembles" This structure has caused
