Eastern and Foreign Markets.-A
quiet, firm market for raws has been
maintained throughout the period I'M
cit in,
respects is peculiar, the offerings of
cane sugars having been on very
moderate scale and even Demeraras 90
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 1-2d C. i. f. equal to
4 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-
f1ners are well supplied for immediate
requirements and the customary cur
tailment of refined at this season of the
year has begun. A recent storm in
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 one-quarter of
the factories are grinding, according to
information recently received. New
crop prospects are favorable and the
out-turn is estimated at 100000 tons
Quotations in Europe have continued

ency has been exhibited latterly. MI

represents a decline of $4,000 tons
from the results of the preceding crop
