Paris, Sept. 4th.——The French Govern ment made known yesterday that the Germans had delivered 1,500,000 tons of coal to August 28th. and said it was es- timated that the total deliveries for the month exceeded 1.600,000 tons. This would be 400,000 tons below the deliver- ios promised by the Germans at Spa, the (Jovernment’s statement said that the rate of increase in production indicated that the Germans might in September and October make up the deficiency and reach the requited 6,000,000 tons, for the quater. Berlin, Sept. 4th Thé Zeitung Ammit tag learns that Germany’s coal deiiver- ies to the Allies during August fully com- plied with the requirements of the Spa agreement. The newspaper also asserts that the full amount during September is already assured. Difficulties will be experienced in meeting requirements for October, says the Journal, owing to the recent. disorders in Upper Silesia and a strike among the Polish miners. New York, Sept. 2nd.—The feature of the day in sugar was a rumour circulating in the trade that a péwer Wall Street sugar refining company which had bought heavily in Java whites for the local market had diverted upwards of 50,000 tons of this sugar to European countries, Holland and elsewhere. Such a move, it was thought, would help the unsettled situation to 'sgxe extent. There was no reported change in refiners list prices which now range from 16¢. to 17.10c., less 2% for cash, the demand con- tinuing light and mostly supplied from =/3 " 1 g <§\ \ P ‘- a'.). 4)7(’ second hand offerings, the supply from this source possibly being now fajrly well depleted. There was further in quiry in the market for refined export and it was believed that negotiations were underway locking for additional business. In raw suwars no new busi- ness was reporied. An operator was said to be still bidding for Cuban raws at 104c. C. and F. but holders have appar- ently stiffened « eir ideas and expcet to nold for a 15c. market. Practically all ra'v sugar here have been placed in store or on lighters. Full duty sugars were said to be available in small lots at from 10c to 104 C. I. F. with Porto Ricos probably availaable at 114 C. I F. 20,000 bags of the latter being now on lighters though pressed for sale at the moment. The sugar futures market opened 12 points lower on Sep- tember. Other months unchanged to an advance of 25 points. Business was very quiet until late in the day when outside interests started a covering movement which sent prices sharply upwards clos- ing at net gains of 20 to 70 points. o R e NOTICE.
