With such a difference between this

is Cuba, and consequently holders

This being the case, it is difficult to

1884 tons and importers holdings
are nil, whereas on the same date
last year these amounted to 1929
tons. There is practically nothing
more available from Porto Rico and
exports from the Philippine islands
will not arrive until later in the year,
consequently the only sources of sup.

Cables from Cuba report that heavy
rains have been general throughout
the island, and these will be very
beneficial to the coming crop.
The receipts for the week at the
