Sugar Market nx AA~arf~NsA 0r>an

New York. October 7.-The local mar ket for raw sugar was unchanged at 72S for centrifugal to the refiner. The weekly report from Cuba reported re- ceipts much smaller than the previous week while exports were little larger including 59,S15 to United States At iantic ports. The weather was unset tied with one mill still grinding. The hoard reported no purchasers. Twenty thousand bags of new crop were sold to an operator on the basis of seven cents f. o. b. Cuba February shipment.
 Tn the refined sugar the demand con- tinues active and some gre inclined to believe that this reflects the higher prices expected during the coming season. rather than actual requirements for immediate consumption. Reftners, however, are not accepting much new business and the trade generally IS awaiting the report of the refiners com mittee which is expected any time and which will give definite programme for the distribution of the remaining old crop supplies. Prices are unchanged at nine cents for fine granulated.
