New York, Sept. 29th.—A sharp de- cline in the sugar features market yesterday carried October down to 100 points, the extreme limit by the ex- change, t 0 8.24. January and February each declined 90 points, March 80 points, and November and December 30 points each. The slump was attributed to re- ports of reductions in refined to 14c¢ by three of the local refiners, and diminu- tion of export demand, as well as de- mand, as well as demand in the domes- tic fleld, owing to the approach of the close?of the preserving season. Full du- ty raw sugar was offered at 9¢c Cif ear- ly in the day and it was understood that Cuba’s could be bought for 9% ¢ cost and freight, although not openly offered on this basis. Buyers were not showing mueh interest in the raws for shipment even on this and until now it must be admitted that Cuban holders have not shown much anxiety to dispose of what remains of their crop. In the refined sugar market buying continues mainly on the hand to mouth basis, but the job- bing trade appears to be operating on narrow margin of stocks, as nearly all orders are for immediate shipment. £ ey A £aNE \ \, . el Uity g 2x o ha Y R“S"""‘§§ g Ng\v}?BTt ™2’ 12" .
