1 he following is from WUlstt & Gray'e weekly statistical sugar letter, dated
at New York. October 4:

tci s last week, ar.d 72t?,842 tons last year at the same uneven dates and S26,hS6
tf-nf, at even date of Septf mber 1st last : pEr. The deficiency of stock is 334 312 tor.8,
against a deficiency of 347,020 tons las., w fck, and an excess of 56,023 tons December
2&tr, 18M.
I'amburg 3,000 tons of raw beet sugar shipped to America from Hamburg and
Brerrtn th.s werk: 3,000 tons eigagemei)'s; ioo tons of refined shipped.
PAWS. Receipts remain at al out 2.". (w tons per week, as we expected, but
which at present is below requirements for meltings, and total stocks are now at
3',230 tors, the lowest point since Noven.ter 2, U93, when stocks were only 16,594
tore. However, as we have now entered the new sugar campaign, the corner in
supplies may be cons dered broken and s bundance of beet sugar will be available,
if not of cane also. With increased offe: ngrg a decline to 4.75c for 96 degree test
centrifugals is probable at any time. T! tSe changed conditions of the sugar trada
in Oc ober have been forecasted by us f r some time past. The trade will now be
done In declining tendencies instead of advancing tendencies, as heretofore. The
market is likely to be quite unsettled for a while, until the normal basis for the
campaign of ltOO-1101 is more clearly sern. It is possible that the pendulum may
swing too far downward for a time. We are not believers In any great average
reduction for the full campaign, however. Centrifugals were previously sold, to
arrive October 15th to 30th, equal to 4.69c to 4.75c. Some Peruvian centrifugals, due
to arrive end of October, are offering at equal to 4.75c. Demeraras for Immediate
shipment have just been sold at 3 l-16c, c. and f., equal to 4.76c duty paid, and now
few, if any more for October shipment are obtainable. Nearlysall Javas for October-November
shipment are placed. The quantity of Javas available for the bal
ance of this year is much less than for the same time last year. Our correspond
eice shows that American refiners have been buying heavily of new crop beet
sugars. October shipment of beet to arrive here in November, would cost on
piesent quotations equal to 4.43c for centrifugals. The Louisiana crop, which is
double that of last year, Is beginning to ccme to market, and European crop ac
vices are more favorable, therefore we look for somewhat lower prices in Europe.
The change in the abnormal spot quotations for centrifugals has begun, a sale
of sugars nearly due having been made at 4.91c and further declines will follow
until a normal basis is reached. As showing how history repeats itself, our records
state that on November 2d, 1893, when stocks were the lowest, raw sugars were
sold at 5-8c decline from the quotations of a week previous, the drop being due to
anticipation of large receipts of new crop sugars.
REFINED. Refiners did not wait for the coming decline in raw sugars before
reducing the price of their product. We have anticipated the first cut in prices
would be l-4c per pound, but buyers were scarcely prepared for the actual reduc
tion of 40 points which came on Wednesday. All above l-4c per pound must be
due to something beyond trade requirements, viz., a new outbreak of hostilities
between refiners. The Arbuckle refinery attempted to establish a price of 5c per
100 pounds for their product below the A. S. R. Co.'s list price. If this move had
passed unnoticed the Arbuckle could have run full and sold all its product at a
profit, while the A. S. R. Co. held the umbrella, but the A. S. R. Co. made a vio
lent second cut of l-4c per pound, carrying the price of refined to but little above
the cost of production and Arbuckles evidently did not care for the trade at any
lower basis, so prices rest at a level for all refiners at 5.75c list for granulated,
equal to 5.49c net cash. The notable feature of these movements is that the Ar
buckle is evidently to be forced into line to maintain prices and to take its
share of the reduced production during the off season of the year now at hand.
The demand is only' on the hand to mouth basis, notwithstanding the heavy cut
in prices, buyers being afraid to take on any supplies while the market Is In such
unsettled condition. This rather suits the refiners at the moment, however, be-,
cause they would be unable to meet any large demand, if It came while supplies
of raws are so small. Around the first of November, 1893, when stocks were the
lowest, prices of refined declined 3-8c, and, a week later, l-4c further, in anticipa
tion of the arrival of new crop sugars.
SUGAR IN WALL STREET. The usual rally in a declining market carried
sugar stock to $118 1-2, from where it began to decline, and touched SU4 1-8 on an
nouncement of first cuts in prices of sugar. As stated elsewhere, the appearance
of these cuts, made unnecessarily, is quite ominous for the sugar stock. In fact,
it evidently depends on the Arbuckle now whether business shall be done at a
loss or profit. The situation must be considered critical and we can renew the ad
vice so persistently given that the selling of sugar common stock will save holders
from large losses in the near future. The price has been unduly maintained by a
series of influences which will not continue.
QUEENSLAND. Mackay Journal says: "The crushing season Is now in full
sw!ng and few mills have not been put in motion. The weather has been quite
suitaMe for harvesting operations, though not so fine as to Interfere with the
grewth of the young canes. From the northern end of the colony to Mackay, the
winter has been exceptionally mild, andthough in the more southern districts
even a mild winter does not mean entire absence of frost or any great Increase
In the standing crops, In the rest of the colony it spells an advance on previous
est'mates. However, In the south, heavy frosts have again done much damage
and the cane is being milled as fast as possible. That at present our figures, given
last month, must stand, is obvious, until we have fuller information as to the
q -a'ity of the cane now going through the rollers. With a very mild winter, the
dersity of the Juice must of necessity be low. but this will probably remedy it
pelf later. In the meanwhile crushing goes on apace, much according to our an
ticipations, but happily with every prospect that this year the cane will prove,
even where scarce, of good quality. As to the young crops, it is sufficient to say
that on ell sides additional areas have been planted, ar.d in few places has the
weather been less than perfect " '
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 28, 1900. Sugar Weekly Summary Today was marked
by the arrival and sale of the first consignment of new centrifugal sugar for tlr?
soascn 1900,if01. This lot classed Good Prime Y. C. and consisted of 2G barrels from
the Woodland plantation of Messrs. J. L. Ory & Co., St. John Parish, La., con
signed to Messrs. T. Lanaur's Sons and was bought by J. W. Blackman, Jr., at
6 1.4c. With the above exception nothing of Intercut has transpired during this
week in our market, which has otherwise remained dull and listless, receipts be
ing scanty. Refined ruled quiet throughout at 6.00 net cash for granulated. Re
ceipts for the week were 511 barrels, against 732 last week and 883 same week
last year. Total to dat. 2.920 barrels, against 6,61)9 last year.
PORTO RICO CROP.-Government Weather Report for week ending September
15th: Very heavy rains prevailed on, Sunday, 9th, in the vicinity of Bayamon. At
Ct merio, on the 14th, 2.25 Inches of rain occurred in two hours. With these ex
ceptions the rainfall throughout the island was um;sua'ly light. Generally warm
wea'her prevailed. Cane continued its favorable growth, the warm, sultry weath
er foKowing the previous rains being very beneficial. Highest temperature, 87.8
degrees; lowest temperature, 74. S degrees
CUBA CROP. Government Weather Report for week ending September 22:
Rainfall Rains amounting to less than one inch in the eastern half of the Island,
and one-half Inch In the western half, for the week were the rule; the only sta
tions reporting greater amounts than these were In portions of southwest Matan
zas, western Santa Clara and northeast Puerto Principe. A few stations reported
no rainfall at all during the week.
Cane This staple generally is In an excellent condition, except in portions of
northwest Santa Clara where new cane greatly needs much more rain, and a
heavy yield is everywhere indicated. Planting has begun or continues in northeast
Havana, Matanzas, Santa Clara, Puerto Principe and Santiago, in northwest
Santa C'ara spring eane and ratoons not cut 1st season are sprouting along their
stalks; weeding and cultivating and preparation of ground actively continue, and
In parts excessive moisture in the groun . impedes the preparation of tne ground
for winter planting. In southwest Santa Clara the ground conserves ample
rrclsture; extensive fall plantings are being made under favorable conditions; cross
plowing and furrowing .continue; winter plantings are being made In soil pre
pared after the recent rains, and the canes which were blown down by the storm
of the 5th have partially resumed an upright position and are In good condition.
Preparation of ground continues In northeast Santa Clara and Santiago. Cultiva
tion progresses in Santiago. j
