AS freely as sellers have offered
their parcels, just as freely have buy
ers taken them, holding the market
steady, but giving no opportunity for
an advance.
Europe has not increased its pur-
chases from Cuba this week. and such
purchases, If continued, will not be
interfered with by American buyers
so long as stocks in the u. s. and the
'Cuban production promises to be suf-
ficient for their requirements up to
the maturity of the, domestic Cane

last year, which shows that our REIN
ers have been most liberal buyers at
the low prices. They will, no doubt,
continue free purchasers at the pres
ent basis of cost 1t has been diff
cult, under pressure of the large crop,
to obtain an upward reaction to the
market. thus far, but eventually some
improvement will, no doubt, come as
production declines in ending the
crop.
Atlantic ports receipts for week
were 52,943 tons of which 1916 tons

The Tariff Bill is now with the Fl.
nance Committee of the Senate, who
expect to report it to the Senate dur
ing the last week of June Its pros
poets are well indicated in our Wash.
ington dispatch herewith. 1t is to be
hoped and expected that the counter
vailing and dumping duties now said
to be applied to some free duty art.
0les should be extended to cover the
free duty clause OF the sugar schedule
in order to prevent American brains

brains, plus bounties and kartels.
The demand from the U. K. for

entail sugars have been sold to Can
ada this week at 1.96c. C: if I. New

was obtainable for shipment to the

We are in receipt CT special ca
/ BILE from Java stating that the exports
during May amounted to only 11,00t
tons to Eastern countries. The small
ness of these exports is partly &C
counted for by the backwardness O
the crop. the latest estimates of which
are unchanged at maximum of /,
100000 tons. Prices for early Java.
continue to be much above values OBJ
