It was reported that Great Britain had purchased 20,O00 tons of Cubas for June shipment at 4.65c f. O. b., there and between 100000 and 100000 tons of Javas for June and July shipment Should this latter sale prove correct it was thought in local circles that it would mean July so much less sugar from Cuba and perhaps less granulated from here for Great Britain and offerings from Cuba i'll this market would increase The mar ket closed unsettled at 4 15-16 cents for Cubas. cost and freight equal to 596c for centrifugal and 5.08c for molasses. No further changes occurred in refined sugar which were listed at from 7.50c to S5Oc for fine granulated except that an outside refinery reduced to 8.00c The do- mestic business was light as buyers are inclined to hold off expecting some re- yY- v.~,oA tinues and some small sales are being reported daily
 Futures were firmer, closing at a net advance of to points with sales of 17200 tons Outside interests seemed to be the principal buyers, although offer lngs were limited and sentiment seemed to be influenced by the reported sales in Cuba for Great Britain.
