Price changes in futurcs wore ir- rogirlur with not much change in eith- cr direction, final prices being 1 point loivcr to 1 net higher. The market early was stoadier on covering and some buying of distant positions by commission houses, influenced by re- ports that the Cuban figure of fl.7ti0.litlli tons for this ycar‘s crop was accep- table to other cuuntrici in the agree- merit.

Sales were 10.000 tons. May closed 72. July 78, Sep. S3, Dec. 00, Jan 03. March 08. Rt-Jinetl sugar was unchanged but the decline in raw seemed further to restrict buying to nc rby needs. Pric- es wero quoted at 4. for fine gran- ulated by all refiners.
