NEW YORK, August 2.-Raws The
tone of the market is steady and firm,
although transactions are few.
The Federal accepted small lot OF
800 bags arrived San Domingo centri-
fugals and 5000 bags Cubas, atioat, at
current quotation of O2c. duty paid,
basis 80 deg test.
Cuban sugars are offered sparingly
at an advance to 11-16c. C. & f., SO
deg, test equal to 4IO5c, landed, with
the possibility of effecting a sale at
4 .02c, but with little eagerness shown
by buyers
Indications now point to the total
crop of Porto Rico sugars reaching
100000 long tons, against recent esti-
mate of 215,OOO tons The receipts
from Porto Rico at four ports and,
New Orleans thus rar amount to 212,-
600 tons and, allowing $4,000 tons for
local consumption, only small guam
tity is left to come forward. A pri-
Uate cable received Saturday from
Java gives total exports during June
and July to Europe and America, of
only 10S, 900 tons against $4,000 tons
for same time last year. Exports dur
ing August will doubtless be consider
ably larger, but sugars shipped in that
month cannot arrive until next month
and sellers believe they will all be
wanted at full prices, so they are con-
tent to wait for the demand, showing
no disposition to accept less than lis

The tariff bill as reported by the
Conference Committee finally passed
the House of Representatives, late on
Saturday night by the vote of 1876 to
1888, and it is now in the Senate where
it will probably be disposed of this
week and go to the President for sigma
ture
The bill goes into effect the day after
it is signed by the President.
Observation-Disclosures are received in
good volume showing a very salts
factory distribution.
Granulated can be shipped promptly
but some soft grades are delayed four
or five days.
There is every indication of a good
steady demand through the next two
months of large consumption and, in
view of the firmness of raw sugars,
prices of refined should be firmly main
tanned and gradually harden.
