 Sugar Market New York, April 1.-The local mar ket for raw sugar was little more active today, with sales of 25,000 bags of Cubas afloat and April shipment at 4 15-16c, cost and freight, to operators and refiners. This price was un- changd from the last sale and seemed to indicate that some holders at least were disposed to accept the ideas of buyers, although generally holders were firm in their views and inclined to hold for cents, cost and freight. The market closed steady at 5.96c for centrifugal, 5.19c for molasses and 4 15-16c for Cubas, cost and freight, The weekly figures from Cubas reports receipts there for the past week as 150,339 tons, against 38,769 year ago; exports, S9,564, against 117,119, and stock, S13,52S. against 490,649 tons, re- spectively.
 Tn refined there were fair withdraw als on old contract. While new busi- ness was only moderate, there was little better inquiry noted from ex-
 porters who were credited with pur- chasing between 5000 and 5000 tons. Canadian refiners also reported bet ter inquiry for granulated during the last few days. and sales were reported to the British commission of about 1O,- GOO tons Prices were unchanged at 700 to 710c for fine granulated. The market for futures was steady early on covering and some buying by commission houses and prices at one time were about points above
 the previous close. Trade interests, however, seemed to be offering quite freely and prices eased off. closing l to points below last nights finals on the active positions. May sold from 5.06 to 5.03c, closing 5.03c; July. 5.O5c to 5.03c. closing 5.03c; September, 5.05c to 5.02c. closing 5.02c.
