Large Accumulation of Stocks of
Raws at Shipping Ports
ln Cuba.
The decline In the sugar market con
tlnuea. Yesterday there was another drop
of 25 cents a hundred in all refined grades,
making a total decline of (1 in the week.
Cane granulated is now quoted at (8 and
Leet at $7.90.
Reduced sugar consumption throughout
the country and accumulating stocks of
raw sugar In Cuba are held to be re
sponsible for the depression of the market.
As these conditions may not be remedied
roon, the trade Is prepared to hear of
further declines. A prominent sugar au
thority says of conditions ln Cuba:
"The stock at the shipping porta ef
new crop sugars has Increased, and now
mounts to 908.480 tons, which with the
stock of old-crop sugars of 45,888 tons
makes a total of 954.368 tons available
st the ports for shipment This figure
is considerably In excess ef the stock at
this time last year, say 657,765 tons, and
Is practically equal to the stock at this
time two years ago, when 971,140 tons
were on hand. The high point of stock
at the shipping ports In Cuba was reached
!n the season after the signing of the
armistice, on June 6, 1919, when 1,200.678
tons were In stock In the island.
