EASTERN AND FOREIGN MAR
KETS.
Our refners have 1atterly abstained
from the market, but it is evident from
inspection of the statistical position of
sugar that deliveries of the large pur-
chases made by rehners in April are
drawing to an end, a marked reduction
in the receipts from Cuba being a dis
tinguishing feature of the situation. The
falling off in receipts from Cuba, the
quarter to which United States refiners
look for the bulk of their supplies at
this time of the year, comedies with re-
ports of continued bad weather there
and statements that, as a result of rain,
the crop is practically ended in the
Western section of the Island
A renewal of interest in Raws has
been caused in part by the conditions
above outlined and we are enabled in
consequence to report considerable sales
of Cubas for shipment in this and next
month at a higher range of prices. OF
the existing stock in the principal Cuban
shipping ports, it is estimated that not
more than 100000 tons remain unsold,
and, unless weather conditions in the
Island improve, this amount will soon
cease to be a factor in the establishment
of prices.
Sales of Porto Ricos at an advance
are likewise reported and the Raw sugar
market, although quieter for the mo-
ment, according to latest mail advlces
from New York under date of the Goth
inst. reveals a firm undertone, while Of
ferings arr light.
The most pronounced feature of the
situation is visible in the continuous bet
terrnent observable in the prices of Eu-
ropean Beets, the most satisfactory fea- |
ture of the European situation being
discernible in the large increase in the
in Continental countries |
where the article has been cheapened, !
as result of the changes which have
the abolition of bounties.
