Rmrar went tin 20 cents a sack yesterday. Thn nilranxo ofT-: nil mdpj. both Cane atld beet, and was expectced. In view of the 1 strength of Eastern markets. In the past week the New York market has risen M points on raw sugar, and the Coast .markets were forced to respond sympathetically. "Until yesterday's advance, the margin between raw and refined at the Eastern seaboard was only 50 cents, against a difference of 95 cents at this tlma last year. Henry W. DIedrlch. United States Consul at Bremen, in a 1 report to the State Depart ment, dated October 18. gives the estimates for the sugar crop or iwi ana muz, as lesuea bv Mr. Geiseker. the noted Belgian statistician, and Otto Llcht, of Madgeburg, a veteran pub-v Usher of sugar statistics. Geiseker -estimates the total crop at 5.850.000 tons. Germany lead lng with 1,730.000 tons. According to Llcht s figures, tne crop win aggregate 5.850,000 tons. or 903.000 tons less than last year. In his opinion. Gieseker and Llcht will have to re vise their cztlmates considerably, as In France the decrease of 800,000 and SSO.000 shown In their estimates Is not warranted by reports from that country. Cuba, according to the Consul's estimate, wlll produce 850.000 tons, against CS3.000 for last year. Given these figures of the world's crop of sugar for 1002-3, this. then, would seem to be approximately the complete statistical situa tion, as compared with the previous year: 1009.3 10f1-9 1 frtnr-Vn' Knnt 1 1O09 1 Cdfl (Wi neiA mo Jieet-suf-ar crop. 1902-3 5,850.000 0.843.038 Cane-frjgar crop, 1002-3... 3.470.000 3.302,605 Total 11.120.000 11.1C9.685 The world's consumption of sugar during the past four years has ben: ions. 1898-1899 7.945.130 .1899-1900 8.312.850 1900- 3901 ; 8,736.723 1901- 1902 9.3G9.C85 From the aoove. It will be seen that even with more than an average Increase of con sumption, there will be above 1,000.000 tons of sugar left at the end of the season, or by August 31, 1903; which, however, will be con siderably less than the present excessive sup ply. The trade circular of a New York Importing house, says: The statistical position o.f sugar has be come very much better, in our circular of the 2Gth of September we stated that we ex pected the world's visible supply on October 1 to be from 1.700,000 to 1.800.000 tons, but the actual figures show . little over l.COO.OOO tons. Starting with thlB quantity and adding the last estimate of the beet crop made by Ir. Llcht. 5.S50.000 tons, adding also 3.4S0.000 tons as the ane production of sugar exporting countries and Louisiana, and taking '250.000 tons for United States beets.' we have a grand total of 11.130.000 tons. From this we shall have to deduct that portion of the 'next Java crop that will be diverted elsewhere, or will not arrive In the United States or Europe un til after October 1 next, say 350.000 tons. This- will leave us with a supply of 10.780.000 tons for the- -sugar year, which -began -October 1. 1902. and ends September '30. 1903. That the current year's consumption will reach 10, 000,000 tons is highly probable, and If we de duct this from the 10.780,000 tons, we are left with estimated visible supplies on" October 1, 1903. of only 760,000 tons. This in Itself should Insure fairly good prices for the whole of the current sugar year, unless the beet sowings of next Spring should be so large as to Influence ine raareei uniavorabiy. The sugar crop of the Hawaiian Islands for tne year-ended September 30. 1902. Is 355.C11 tons, the largest crop by 50,000 tons ever raised in the Islands. Of this crop 121.295 tons were produced on the Island of Hawaii. 107.870 tons were produced on Oahu. G9.720 tons on Kauai and SC. 720 tons on Maul. Of individual, nlan tatlons. by far the largest producer was Ewa plantation, near Honolulu. Ilntter. Beers. Poultry. Ere.' No change was made In poultry ajiotatlons.

Over One Hundred Thousand Shares Were Dealt In, the Issue Making n Gain of Over Six Points. NEW YORK. NovT 2L The marked im provement shown by today's stock market was doubtless due In a great measure to the great er ease of time money., There was no ap parent reduction In the rate, but the willing ness of certain banking Interests to lend for long periods was accepted' as proof that finan cial conditions here have been again on a substantial foundation. There were Indica tions also that the flow of money to Interior points lstat an end. Although another trans fer was made to San Francisco, this was moro than offset by returns from WesteVn and Southern points, and the preliminary state ment of money movements shows a material loss to' the Subtreasury, with resultant gains to local banks. While much of today's busi ness was really in the nature of short covering-there is little doubt that the solid Inter est were heavy buyers. For the first time this week the movement In Manhattan was overshadowed by that of another stock, namely St. Paul. That stock, which was dealt In to the extent of over 100,000 sharf. advanced to 180, and closed at that figure, making a net gain of 6 points. No plausible explanation for the rise was ad vanced, other than that an early announcement of on extra stock. Issue may be made. The opening was again Irregular, with Man hattan In the lead, though the other traction? were lower. St. Paul made early Improvement, and Louisville & TCnshvlllo itrna otcn ctrnn. The reported deal In Manhattan, which stlli mess oinciai connrmation, Dut is generally be lieved, doubtless .exerted some Influence on the buying side, allhousrh Mnnhnllitn mnviwl !,-,-- ularly throughout the day, and scored a net loss of Vt point. The movement In the railway niiares jainerea greater rorce berore the end of the first hour, St. Paul, Rock Island, Mis souri Pacific. Kansas City Southern. Toledo, St. Louis & Western, and other active Issues, all making substantial Improvement. In the In dustrial group Sugar. Amalgamated Copper and Tennessee Coal were the principal features It was clear that the shorts were running to cover, especially in Copper. The heaviness of Manhattan probably was due in part to profit taking by one or more pools. The improvement shown during the morn ing session was more than sustained later and with St. Paul still th leader, the general list continued- to move upward. At times the movement was almost buoyant Buying of such stocks as St. Paul. L. N.. some of the Pacifies. Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania. Reading and Copper were reported to be of the very best character, and board-room senti ment was more cheerful than for some davs. The closing was very strong and active, with prices very generally at the best, London was a heavy seller, and hrmirht v-v ni-. .u. T.,se' sf.nUment London and elsewhere on tne Continent continues rather bearish, Sterling exchange cxperlencecd another sharp advance, due in part to, further sales for Eu ropean account In this market.
