THE SUGAR MARKET.
Raw Firm ut Advance of 7 Point. TO
All Cents.

The raw sugar market was Arm yester-
day at an advance OF points to All
cents for spot. at which price sales OF
1900 bags were made. The frmness In
the raw market is largely due TO the
scarcity OF prompt shipments and no
change In the trend of prices is looked for
until the movement of the crop at Cuba
proceeds more freely. Recent advices are to
the effect that conditions on the island
are fast nearing normal and that 100 CEN
trails are now grinding. The refined mar
ket was hrmer. II was reported that one
rehner was doing business at ASS cents
In the early part of the day, but at the
close all were on a iIrm 4.95 cent basis.

TO have made even tramp steamers

rates from Galveston on bale weigh.

$6.25, against a normal rate around
so: Bremen. S16.25 to $3.50, against
a normal rate around IS. These rates
are outrageous and have done much
to keep down the price paid to the

was proof required of the necessity
for an American merchant marine
subject to regulation of its charges
these exorbitant rates surely furnish
