Sales of new crop Cuba sugars and Por-
to Ricos have been made, to limited
extent, at reduced quotations, with last
| G. los m ado Of (t,1ha trif 1nolS
prompt shipment at 1890 G. and f.
90 test, equal to 3.77c duty paid landed,
thus reducing the spot quotations for
the week from 3.S6c to SIZE, or, say,
&c per 100 pounds. This represents the
lowest basis for the week for the ear
her shipments, intermediate sales hav-
ing been made at 3.77e landed for
Porto Rico centrifugals for early Jan
nary shipment, and at = 7-16c c. and f.
SO test for first half January shipment
from Cuba, equal to 3S0c landed Last
half January sold at 375c basis 90.
A large increase in offerings of new
crop sugars was noted during the week,
| but refners, as rule, took little in
/ terest
On Tuesday of this week there were
only twelve centrals grinding, showing
a rather backward state of crop max
| ing, but several centrals have beer
added since, and soon the crop making
will, show in receipts at shipping ports
of which thus far there have been none
reported.
/ Porto Rico in this respect is little
ahead of Cuba this season and more in
clined to sell.
5, European fluctuations in beet sugar.

son, closing at los for prompt, los "a
fer next month, and los 3Ad for May
delivery, with quiet and rather easiel
tendency.
F. O. LIGHT cables a reduction of 40,
600 tons in his estimate for Germany
say from 100000 to 100000 tons
| The crop of all Europe is now estimated
at 6,450,000 tons, against last year
crop of 6,532 900 tons.
No new developments have come t.
hand during the week relating to tn
conditions and prospects of the Cub;
crop. Neither is anything more devel
oped about the sugar schedule of tE'
tariff bill.
The policy now being maintained b.
the holders of Louisiana sugars in stor
ing their sugars to resist further de
cline is showing good results. TIL,
stock in warehouse has reached figur'
of 1000 tons, and at the close we hav,
received a telegram from New Orlean
reporting an advance of 1-16c, to
9-16c for 90 test
Stocks continue to decline in tn
United States, and refners must, befor
loEg, make provisions for their renewa
from the Cuba and Porto Rico crops
The earlier purchases from thes
crops went partly to European specula
tors at higher titan the present value
and, therefore, VIII not come on tn
market again at the present time. At tn
