London,
Aug.
2Tth.-—-The
situation
at
Danzig
shows
marked
improvements
and
munitions
are
being
unloaded,
ae-
cording
to the ' anzig
correspondent
of
the London
[im:s.
It
is
asserted
that
there
will
'be

difficalty in the
future
over
the

New
York,
Aug.
26th.—The
sugar
markets
have
probably
never
in
their
history
been
in
such
chaotic
condition
as they
are
at
the
present
fime.
Raw
sugar,
Cuba’s {ull duties and Porto Rieo’s,
have been
received
and
holders
find
it
iinpossible
to
even
get
2 bid,
the
result
being that
the
sugars
have
been
placed
in
store
waiting
for
an
improvement
in
the
market
conditions.
It
was
be-
lieved that
abid of ten
cents
cif
would
be
accepted
for
full duty sugzar,
but
no
buyers could
be
found whe
would
make
any bid.
It was said that
a tocal refinery
yesterday
morning bid 9.03
cents
cif for
Porte Rico’s, then withdraw the bid.
The
only hope for
a
more
stabilized
market
appears
to
be
the
possibility
that
Eu-
rope
will
beecome
an
active
huver
