Iagainst $1,000 tons last year and S00'
tons in 1912: 1 Centrals were work
ing. against s and 10 in the two pre-
ViOus years.
We accept Messrs. GumaMejer'>
Cuba crop estimate Of 2,550. 900 tons
fer our worlds crop figures. The bal
anCe of crop receipts required to com
;plete 2.550,000 tons is 114.65l tons.
! Last year the balance OF crop re
Ceipts was 1S4.S74 tons and the yea:
before 1895 tons
Taking the conditions prevailing in
three years at the end of July. We
think the balance will conform more
nearly with 1912 than with 1913
Special advices to Us from Java re
pert too dry weather and unless there
! is some improvement soon. the crop
will show a decrease of 100000 tons
below early estimates OF 1850, 006

At the close the market is advanc-

August at 22sc C. & +. (3.39c).
Refned-The quiet attitude of re-
finers toward the raw market during
the week offered no occasion for any
change in quotations for refined, which
remained at 44Gc less per cent by
all refpers except the Federal
This refinery. in order to reduce an
accumulation, accepted orders for a
time at 4.25c, less per cent, for fine
granulated, in barrels and bags and
4-25 ID. bags: but at the close ad.
vanced to 4.40c, less 2 per cent, the
same as held by others
Now the course of refined will fol.
low the course Of raws, which course
is upward
There is a strong possibility that re.
finers will accept business next week,
assortment on contract only.
Cuba Crop Estimate-We extract
from Mr.. Himley's report of July 20,
1914: -" 49,.
in view of the short duration of the
rain and the return of fine dry wealth.
er, we think there is no longer any
doubt that our original estimate of
this crop, say 2,569,143 tons will be
reached
THE Central Chaparra of the Gu
Sugar Co. finished it's
crop on the 18th inst with 607,50o
bags (S8,142 tons), which is the larg-
est crop ever made by any Central in |
Cuba, and as far as we know, in any
country"
