WiIliams-Dimond Circular.



! The course of prices in European
beets for the period under review il
! somewhat analogous to the trend O.
! events in this country, at first reced
ing but later on advancing. At the
present time the situation reveals nj
features of particular interest and the
dissemination of the news that Mr.
LIGHT had increased his estimate OF
the European beet crop by lis, 900 tons
his total estimates now being 6,125,0OC
tons, does not appear to have had any
adverse effect upon beet sugars. Evi
IDENTIFY the market abroad does not
respond so readily to varying infu
ences as was apparent some time age
, during the ascendency of speculative
interests and it is to be hoped that the
stability now manifest will continue.
In Cuba unfavorable weather has de-
layed grinding operations while Mr..
LIGHT cabled 8th inst that the yield
of the beet roots in Europe is retro
grading
AS regards Louisiana latest mail adj
vices are to the effect that the weather
has been favorable for crop operations,
but both tonnage and yield are disap-
pointing and crop estimates have been
reduced to 2SO,00O tons.
