Sugar Market

New York, December 1.-The market for raw sugar was firmer, sales being reported of 10000 bags of Cubas for late December clearance at 3 1S-16c cost and freight. equivalent to .83c for centri- fugal, 96 test, duty paid. Offers for prompt shipment were noticeably small and it was said that Cuban shippers were not disposed to sell at recent quotations as it seemed to be the prevailing opinion among planters that, owing to curtailed production in Europe the demand this year for Cuban sugar will be of sufficient volume to readily absorb the crop. The closing prices follow:
 Cuban cost and freight, 13-16c; centri- frgal, 96 test. 4.S3c; molasses, S9 test 4.06c.
 Refined sugar was unsettled and irreg- ular with two local refners out of the market entirely while the others reduced their prices 20 points to basis of 5.95c for fine granulated. Western interests were offering beet sugar quite freely on basis of 5.75c for granulated.
 Futures were moderately active With sales of SS50 tons. Strong interests seemed to be arrayed on both sides, with evidence that houses with Cuban connections were inclined to favor the buying side. Prices closed at points advance to points net decline. January sold from 3.73c to 3.67c, closing at S.72c; March, 3.40GS. .S4c, closing at 3.S7c; May. 3.49@3. 43c closing at 343c.
