fire. The Germans were swept out
of their first-line trenches over a

NEW YORK, Aug. 51.-The QUOTA
ton last week for Cuba CentrifugaIs
was nominal at 75c, but sugars were
offered at prices much below this fig

sale OF Cuba sugars was made In POI
sition to establish a market quotation,
and on that day two small, lots were
sold to Howell, one equal to 5.25c.

continued to make concessions and
the market has declined further, the
quotation Wednesday being 3 5-Sc c.

Tuesday of f-Sc c. & T. t4.S9cJ and
1850 c. & {. 1880. The highest
price quoted for Cuba CentrifngaIs
this year was lie c. & f. t6.52c), and
the quotation Of 464c shows drop
from the high point OF the year OF

to show interest in the market it will
be necessary for the country 70 In
crease their demand for Granulated
sugar The lowest price quoted for
GRADUATED is 709c less per cent, or
say 6.S6c net cash, or say a difference
of 2.22c above raw sugars. II is only
natural that the country, with such
wide difference between raw and re-
fined sugar, viii not buy any more
sugar than their actual needs require
While we look for an adjustment in
prices of refined sugar, this is not
likely antiI the refiners are able TO
ascertain at what price the raw sugar
market will settle, and furthermore
the disturbed labor conditions have
also had some effect on the refined
situation.
Bidders Raise Offers.
At 9 5-sc c. e. (. t464c) the market
became much firmer, with several
