REDUCED eventually to some extent.
"''Rumors of purchases of beet sugar
In Europe for American refiners to
any great extent must be takeugwith
caution, although 1900 tons Is re-
Fpeyted to be on the way, as therst are
no indications of large amount OF
beet sugars being needed here unless
the Cuba crop should be very late.
The necessity of marketing both the
domestic cane and beet crops quickly
by reason of the financial situation
will bring more OF the sugars on the
market at once than in former years.
Mail advices from London report
sale of 1000 tons beet to Canada for
shipment from Fiume and unconfirm-
ed rumors of sale of 5000 tons to
American refiners.

5000 tons last year. Grinding has
ceased.
Stocks in the United States and
Cuba together of 244,076 tons,

1899 tons last year, an increase of
100,147 tons from last year.
Europe: Stock in Europe. SEQ 900

VISIBLE SUPPLY.-Total stock of
Europe and America, S13,076 tons,
against S4S,929 tons last year at the
same uneven dates. The decrease of
stock is 1888 tons. against de-
crease of 3S,26S tons last week. To-
tai stocks and afloats together show a
visible supply of 963,076 tons against
l.033,929 tons last year, or a de-
crease OF lO,Sb0 tOnS.
RAWS.-Financial affairs have alb
sorbed the attention of the country
during the week under review to the
exclusion of all transactions in SUI
gar. No sales of Centrifngals have
been reported and the quotation for
90 degrees remains nominally 3.9Oc.

scarcely be practicable on any higher
basis than that of the New Orleans
market, plus the freight and insur-
ance charges north OH Louisiana SUI
gars.
Naturally the domestic sugars COM
ing to market under financial dis
tress have been forced to submit to a
decline, even In face of advancing
markets in European beet sugar.
Sales of 96-degree test Louisiana SUI
gar are reported in New Orleans at
3.625c. per h., which. with expenses
added, would mean 3.S4c. per ID. de-
livered in New York.
