(By Thomson & McKinnon) Tha prediction that refiners would buy Bsore heavily of raw sugar within the next few days in order to replenish their stocks has failed recently to make any Impression on the markets. The policy all along the line continues to be one of paying from hand to mouth. Buyers are in M hurry to stock up. even at the current to*' prices. Cuban raws at yesterday’* dose were Inclined downward, last sales reported at 2 7-10. There was talk of a 5-oent quotation on refined in the near future as the efveraga selling price* dropped ten points or more. Support in the distant options i* to be expected In the futures market shortly but for the te being we see nohting to bring about di ox recovery and would watt for the t market to become more settled bemaking any fresh commitments on the buying side.

even in defeat she accomplished what thousands of dollars said she would not. do—she won nine games and came within one game of winning a set. Mile, Lenglen won, 6-3, 8-6. There can be no doubt that, for the time at least, Mile. Lenglen m the greatest woman player in the World. She has all the requisites of a perfect game, and to her credit it must be admitted now that she ha* courage, or she could not have come up from 2-5 to win the second set and match. The defeat of Miss Wills is Just a defeat on her record. Beyond the momentary glory and a few cups there was nothing vitally at stake in the match. Her defeat is no more of a discredit to her than the one she experienced at Seabright last summer at the hands of Elizabeth Ryan, former California star. . The real test Is yet to come at Wimbledon when the champion of the world will be at stake officially in the British national championships. There are .months between in which Miss Wills can get herself and her game more accustomed to strange conditions and there are months in which she can work to improve the defects that were shown In her game by the assault of a master artist. Perhaps Miss Wills’ day will not arrive this year, but It Is not very far away. SEALS GET DICKIE KERR Sox Southpaw Is Acquired by San Francisco Club.
