Eastern and Foreign Markets.-A
quiet firm market for raws has been
maintained throughout the period I'M
der review. The situation in some
respects is peculiar, the offerings of
cane sugars having been on a very
moderate scale and even Demeraras 40
not attract any particular attention.
Cuba at this juncture exerts no active
| influence on the market, the crop there
being virtually exhausted while Javas
have been practically absorbed, the on
ly unsold nearby cargo of Javas be-
ing held for lis 10 I'D C. /. f. equal to
5-16c duty paid. Neither buyers or
sellers evince any anxiety to consum-
mate transactions and the present in
activity is likely to continue until the
advent of the new cuban crop. Re-
fners are we'll supplied for immediate
requirements and the customary cur
tailment of refined at this season of the
year has begun. A recent storm in
Cuba occasioned no damage to the
cane fields, while on the contrary, the
abundant rains which fell proved quite
beneficial and the prospects are favor
able for some increase over last years
| production. The new Louisiana crop
is still green and only once quarter of
the factories are grinding, according to
| information recently received New
crop prospects are favorable and the
out-turn is estimated at $4,000 tons.
Quotations in Europe have continued
to decline to slight extent throughout
the present month, but a firmer tend
ency has been exhibited latterly. Mr..
F. o. LIGHTS estimate of the present
European beet crop was announced
18th inst. as 5,12OOOO tons, which
represents a decline of 1920 tons
from the results of the preceding crop.
The markets stiffened upon the an
nouncement of Mr.. F. o. LIGHTS fig
ures, but they subsequently became
quieter and the situation abroad does
not appear to present any features of
especial interest.
A dull market for refined has ruled
the trade adopting a strictly hand-to-
mouth policy and an easier tone is in
evidence, according to latest mail adj
vices from New York under date of
the END inst.
