Oct. 15th. -The sugar markets were full of various rumours yesterday and while confirmation was lacking at the closc of the day there ave some in the trade ‘vho believe that cer- tain developments are panding which will tend to check any further decline in the raw article at least for the present, London, Oct. 18th.—One effeet of the coal strike upon financial London has been the weakening of the pound ster- ling, which has dropped to $3.43 on buy - ing orders to cover actual and prospective coal shipments {rom the United “tates to Europe. The effect has already been seen on continental =2xchanges, all of which moved against Great Britain late last week, and which were again slight- ly weaker today.

Sebastopol, Oct. 18th —Following the defeat of the Soviet focces by fenl Wrangel’s army at Sineninikovo, two So- viet regiments stationed in the village of Ribaskoe, held a meeting and declined to surrender, according to an oficial re- port. They took this actionin view of the fact that they were without food, shoes and eclothing. The Bolsheviki au- thorities are reported to no longer con- ceal the fact that their army is disso!ving and that a winter campaign 1s impossi- ble under present conditions. 2,500 civi- lian prisoners were massacred upon or- ders from five different commissioners during the last days of the occupation of Berdiansk on the northern coast of the Sea of Azov, according to advices.

New-.York, Oct. 16th.—The only trans- action in raw sugar yvesterday up to a late hour was the sale of 12,000 bags of Cuba’s prompt shipment to the Anmierican Sugar Refining Company at 7 cents cost and freight, eqnai to Be. duty paid. It was understood that 9,000 bags additional were under negotiation but the transac- tion fell thirough, as sellers advanced their price ideas. It 1s noted that but tew Cuban raws are on offer, but this is possibly accounted for by the fact that under the moratoriuin, the banks are not allowed to force their horrowers to liqui- date; it was sald 1n the street that the Warner interests had reent=red the mar- ket for raw sugar on the basis of Tets. for Cuba’s, but that the offerings of all kinds of raws were very limited. Thurs- day’s total business amounted to about 5,000 bags of Barbados and Jamaicu’s ex- store to local refiners together witl up- ward of 10,000 tons of Peru’s to the Royal Commisgion at 6¢. . o. b.

New York, Oct. 18th.—Foreign seil- ing, precipitated chiefly by the strike of the British miners and domestic offerings originating mainly at interior points. was the restraining influence of today’s duil and heavy stock market. The British industrial erisis which seem- ed to assume more alarming proportions was directly responsible for another sharyp decline ip the rates of exchange to London, sterling bills falling to their jow- est ‘quotations for the current month. Today’s minimum quotations no: only can- celled all the recent recovery in British exchange, but forced the price down to the low level or last March., FKxchange on other imp-rtant toreign <apitals was sympathetically affected. ¥rench and Belgian remittances, aise lire and rates to Spain, Switzerland and otaer so-called neutral countries, easing sharply. A new low record for remittances to Argentine was primarily due o that couniry’s ad- verse trade balance, London, Uect. 19th.—Sugar in stock on the 16th. inst. was 117,000 tons.
