Business In New Orleans.

The following excerpts from Dun's
Review OF April Is, showing general
and market conditions at New Orleans,
will prove of interest:
General Conditions-The volume of
business in all lines shows steady inn
provement, and sales are running in
excess of this time last year. Collee-
tions shown terialimprovement. Sales
lsofreal estate last week were the largest
forman years, and number Of large
transactions have already been closed
this week. Values of real estate have
very greatly increased during the past
year.
Cotton-Trading in futures continues
of moderate proportions, and after
ihaving advanced slightly the market
later reacted and closing quotations
are the same as a week ago. Spots
are unchanged. Receipts of cotton at
all ports. Z 1891, 740 bales, against g.
743,086 bales last year.
Sugar Receipts OF sugar this season
| amount to /, 1896. 225 barrels and $50
hogsheads, against 1,097,454 barrels
and e61 hogsheads for the same period
last year. Receipts of molasses amount
TO 259, l27 barrels, against 81 s820 last
wear. There has been a fairly good
demand for sugar of all grades, and
the market has been steady at un-
changed quotations.
Rice-There has been very little ira
ding in either clean or rough rice, and
| receipts have been eompar atively light.
Practically, all sales have been for ex-
port. The Louisiana movement, ac-
| cording to Ta1mage's Sons, shows
as follows: Receipts, 1886. $50 sacks
rough, against loo, 8s44 sacks last
| year, and sales Of 1,4l8,534 pockets,
compared with 1881 $50 pockets in
1904.
The Delaware legislature adjourned
without electing a senator to succeed
4 Senator Ball, whose term OF service
expired March 3. This sort of thing
has become chronic in Delaware. SEN
aIor Ball having been elected ID March,

four years, and his colleague, Senator
Alice, landing il a seat at the same
time that had been without an occupant

state are sadly IN need OF a thorough
reformation, and the first essential to
this end would seem to b the elimina a.

CUBA LETTING SUGAR

were not for sale at higher prices, and
several parcels of spot sugars put into
warehouse at above 12c. are now
coming out at lac. In view of the
improved demand for refined, the re-
finers may be stimulated to buy more
freely of raws for current wants at
present level. Some $4,000 bags Cubas
were taken late yesterday for ship
ment to New Orleans at lac. duty
paid for 96 degrees test basis.
The Cuba quotation for shipment is
now 2.27-32c. cost and freight for 90
degrees test basis, equal to 4 Lac. duty
paid for SO degrees test. No import
ant change from these quotations is in
sight at the moment.
From Cuba no change of interest has
occurred. The receipts continue about
normal for the season and few cen
trails continue to produce few more
sugars.

the refined sugar market last week, a

vanced sc. to the general level. These
rapid declines of 35c. per 100 pounds
from the recent high level have natur.

for absolute wants and all refners re-
port good business. AS long as
| this condition lasts there would seem
to be no occasion for lower quotations
the general trend of the sugar mar
kets being downwards there is no

which would only come from an UNI

from the trade who have allowed their
stocks to run below the hand-to-mouth
basis. There is also some improve
ment in the methods of distributing
sugars which tend to strengthen the
position of refined, so that it is prob
ably well to carry for while during

Willet Gray's Sugar Trade Jour
nal for June 90 contains the following
information and comment on the mar
ket:
Visible Supply-Total stock of Eu-
rope and America, 2,15S,9lS tons,
against 2,554,3s1 tons last year at the
same uneven dates and 2,756,29S tons
at the even date of Jan. 1st., 1905. The
decrease of stock is 395,463 tons,
against decrease of 412,905
tons last week, and decrease
of 1,OO5,74O tons January LIST,
1905. Total stocks and afoats, to-
gether, show visible supply of p
293,9lS tons, against 2,727,3S1 tons
last year.
Raws.-The London quotations fer
beet sugar during the week under re-
view gives remarkable confirmation
of the forecast of the course of the
markets, as given by us last week,
which, at the time, caused consider
able comment. From lis. 10 I'D, last
week the quotations have come lis,
3D., lis. slid, lis. . Id, the last
quotation being the close for the week
without any rally whatever during the
week.
The new crop quotation has also par
ticipated to some extent from los. last
week to 9s. 3d., now for October-De-
cember delivery. There is no good
reason why next crop quotations
should descend, except from sympathy
with the current markets, while find
ing the normal level for the combined
new and old crops which should not
be less than los. and may prove to be
higher. In the meantime, however,
present general conditions, including
fine favorable weather for the grow
ing crops, have an over-powering in
fuence everywhere.
Even Cuba finds it of advantage to
let go sugars which short time ago

TO DIVIDE THE SERVICE

It is probable that the recent dis
patch stating that the American-Ha-
waiian Steamship Company had receiv-
ed the Tehauntepec national transport
contract means that the company's
service between Hawaii and New York
will go via that route. The Tehaun-
tepec railroad is the property of the
Mexican government and by its use the
company could divide its steamship
service, having boats running to the
terminals of the line on both the At
lantic and Pacific sides. This would
save the long voyage around the Horn
and though it would mean two trans
fers of cargo would be a great saving
in time and expense. The company
could handle more sugar, and it is
probable that this fact would tend 10
drive out few more of the vessels
of the sailing sugar fleet, already sore
ly depleted by the competition of the
big steam freighters.

The Chronicle says: San Francisco
is going to witness the building of two

ever passed in or out of Golden Gate.
This information was embodied yes
terday in telegram from Robert For

Works, to Vice President George Fred

Just closed a contract with the Amer
ican- Hawaiian steamship Company for
the construction of two large freight
steamers to cost in the aggregate over
$4,000, 600 The vessels are to be 500 feet
long. with a sixtyfoot beam and thir-
ty-five-foot nodded depth.
This" said Mr.. Fredericks, yester-
day, means the beginning of renewed
activity in the San Francisco ship
building industry, and marks the end
OF the quietude due to the shipbuilders'
troubles, which tied up the Coast in
dustry. In 1act this contract is the
first of any Importance signed up by
the Union Iron Works since those diff
ficulties with the shipbulders' trust"
The two vessels about to be con-
structed are for the largest steamship
company flying the American flag and
engaged exclusively in freight trans
portation. The officers of the Union
Iron Works feel gratified that after
having built three other ships for this
company the award Of two more should
have been granted to them.

COFFEE IS
LOOKING Up

willett & Gray, New York, June 90
say OF the coffee markets:
The coffee markets are still going
through the quiet period usual at this
time, and as our markets will be clos
ed from July LIST to 5th, holiday dull
ness prevails. 1t is very noticeable
that the European and Brazil markets
hold firm, Europe because of the fur
ther large decrease of stocks. and Bra
I'll because of higher exchange and
unwlIlingness of holders to give way.
Reports from Europe show that dealers
there must buy soon. no matter what
the price, as they have not enough
trading assortments Brazil is aware
of this, and 1t furnishes the best rea-
sons for holding firm, not to mention
the Improbable currency basis. The
regular deliveries from the seaports in
Europe show the absolute necessities
of consumption and point to the prob
ability of heavy buying in Brazil as
new coffees come down, If only to
maintain supplies. This Is an import
ant feature and should be worthily
considered. The American visible sup
ply is working down and buyers from
this side are obliged to enter the Bra
iii markets for better supplies of COM
mercial and selected coffees. Good
parcels of old crop, good roasting San
tos, are scarce, and Santos exporters
| demand high prices. 1t is significant
also that new crop coffees are offered
only sparingly. Some limitations are
made that the yield causes much dis
appointment and other parties begin to
confirm a smaller Santos crop than
hitherto estimated.
1t is well known consuming markets
must buy freely. They can only do SC
in Brazil, as the Mild crops are about
finished. Brazil is well informed as
to this and seems prepared to stand ur
for price, and waiting buyers should
take heed to avail of present low
values, before an advance should come
as a natural result of competition. The
new crop is but moderate when looking
at the worlds constantly increasing
consumption.
The current crop finishes 10 million
bags in Rio and Santos. Apart from
the decrease Of about 100000 bags in
the worlds visible (the Bremen stock
was not included a year ago. for the
crop year, a heavy shrinkage has oc.

decreases are certain until Brazil car
