On the 4th inst We received a cable
from Manila reporting $4,000 tons sug-
ar shipped to the east coast of the
United States during July Including
these shipments there are $4,000 tons
afloat As practically all OF these sug-
ars are carried in British bottoms. 1t
is supposed that there will be a delay
in the arrival of these sugars, as ow-
ing to Great Britain declaring war
there is likelihood of these ships 60
ing to the nearest British port, until
they can safely resume their voyages.
At the close sugar offerings grew
less in amount and at advancing
prices, while contracts for definite
shipments already entered into will be-
come more and more difficult of execu.
ton. Last sales reported were at t.01c
from store, 4I4c and ACC for afioats
all duty paid.
While a reasonable opinion of the
future is impossible, it would seem the
limit of the advance is by no means
reached from the present outlook, and
dealings at all in any but spot sugars
are becoming more insecure.
/. RUSSIA, July II, 1914.-In South
west Russia the weather has recently
been warm and summerlike, with gen.
erous rains during the past few days.
Work in beet fields is generally ended
for the summer Reports from most
districts are favorable, the continued
high temperatures have given a salts
factory development to the root, which
IS we'll shaped On the whole the stand
of the fields is quite favorable. and
hopes are maintained that full crop
will be harvested. No complaints of
insects are now heard and few of
weeds. In some districts good rains
are desired.
1t is customary in Russia to use a
large portion L the army in the har-
vesting of the Deets in the fall. The
mobilization OF forces in 1912, during
the Balkan war, delayed the harvest,
and together with unfavorable weather
which followed, reduced the crop al
NEST 100000 tons below October esti-
mates).
