present prospects are that the bottom
mas not yet been reached. Consider
able business has been done in Javas
at current prices in competition with
Cubas yet to be marketed. AS regards
refined a firm market was in evidence
for the time being and although new
business was of moderate proportions a
very active call for Withdrawals was
the feature of the situation, but at the
close the demand has been very linn
tied at unchanged prices. This fact no
doubt in conjunction with other feat
ures affecting the raw sugar market
has created a feeling of Indifference
among refners relative to increasing
their stocks of sugar at this juncture.
