Eastern and Foreign Markets.-A
quiet and rather featureless market
for "Raws" is characteristic of the per-
iod under review, although firm I'M
dertone is visible at the close accord
ing to latest mail advices from New
York under date of Oct. 10th, tendency
favoring sellers.
Weather in Europe has not been spe
cially favorable for the Beet crops and
the market is strong. According to Mr..
LIGHTS preliminary report, the Beet
crop will amount to from 100000
tons to $3.50, 900 tons. Weights are said
to be backward in some districts.
Discouraging advices have been re-
ceived from Louisiana where indica-
tions point to crop of 100000 tons
against 100000 tons last season.
While the statistical position of SUI
gars warrants the expectation of a
slight improvement in quotation, it is
to be observed on the other hand that
the demand for the Refined product has
proven a disappointment, the market
ing of the Domestic Beet crop having a
tendency no doubt to diminish inquir-
les, and only latterly after the decline
on the 7th inst, has an improvement
been manifest.
: Coffee-Stock of Hawaiians in first
hands today is 2469 bags. A better feel
! ing is manifest in the market for Bra
! I'll coffees in New York, owing to the
reports of drought having affected the
, coming crop in Brazil and the tendency
| is to reduce former estimates. Con-
ditions East are reflected in the local
markets here while a fairly good bust
ness has been done within the range of
quotations. as follows: Fancy, l5c. to
16lac,; Prime, 12c, to 14lAc.; Good, 10c.
to 111ac,; Fair, &c. to 91ac.; Inferior, &C.
| to 7lAc.
