CROPS ARE SMALL.
British Trade Journal: From Mr. G.
Czarnikow's report July 2Oth) Not
withstanding unfavorable crop reports
from Germany and parts of Austria,
few showers, and the prognostica-
tons Of more to come, were quite sui.
4 ficient to cause a sharp decline at the
end of last week. August beet, which
closed at 12s. 3D., and May at lis ID,
, declined to lis. 9%d. and lis. ped.
respectively, when, however, on We'd
nesday morning Mr. Lichts report was
, decidedly unfavorable about the Ger
man crop, very sudden change took
place, and at almost the highest prices
paid so far a very large business was
done, August touching 12s 71ad and
closing today at 12s. AID and May
next year lis. 9Bd., closing today at
lis. Sd. The monthly figures are now
complete up to the end of June, and
confirm that the absorbing power OF
the consumer continues undated; the
excess in the European supplies has
been reduced to 900 tons, and if
the reduction goes on as it has done
of late, we shall soon have disposed
of the remaining surplus. The Ger
man exports for the first ten days of
July have made a beginning towards
this, as they are 1861 tons, against
9,444 tons last year. The crop re-
ports, especially from Germany, are
causing anxiety, and if one follows
closely the quantities OF rain that have
fallen in certain districts, it must be
acknowledged that unless rainy
period sets in, We cannot look for even
an average crop; from private sources
we hear that damage has been done in
certain districts, which cannot be made
good even with favorable meteorologi-

complain, the reports from Hungary re-
main satisfactory, but France is rather
inclined to wish for moisture. Another
reason for the firmness of old crop
deliveries is the state of the river
navigation on the Continent; the water
is so low that it prevents a good many
!. barges from moving, and causes a
dearth of ready sugar; our refiners
have in many instances drawn upon
the Hamburg stock, which this week
has declined $4,000 tons. In America
the situation is unchanged, and buyers
still refuse to buy Javas, of which some
are offering at about 4 So cents for ar
rival in September-this price is now
asked for spot Cuban sugar, and has
been paid for August shipment from
cuba; with, however, an existing de-
ficiency of more than 100000 tons
against last year, they will presently
have to look around for some non
, preferential sugar, especially as our
English refiners in case of a scarcity OF
ready beetroot sugar may easily turn
their attention to few Java cargoes,
when they set nearer at hand.

Noeau From Kauai.
The Noeau got in from Kauai this
morning with two passengers, four
empty drums, AIS bags of rice, 1000
bags of paddy, 2,4OO bags of sugar and

Makura Left on Time.
The Canadian-Austraian steamer
Makura left Sydney, N. S. W., on Mon
ldav last, her schedule date, for Auck-
land, n. H., Suva, Fiji, Honolulu, Vic
toria and Vancouver. She is due here
: next Tuesday week. This fine vessel
is easily capable of clipping day or
two off her running time, so it is al
most certain that she will be here
either on Monday afternoon or Tues
day morning early, thus permitting OF
+ Sousa's band being ashore long enough
2 to give two concerts. If necessary
Captain Glib can make up day Ne
i tween here and Vancouver, as he has
