N'KW VOUIv. Jan. 10. The market for
sugar futures today opened quiet. 2 to 7
points lower, with sales on the call esti
mated ,nt about IB, 000 tons. There was
considerable selling pressure from local
trade bouses, duo to the feeling that Iho
spot situation wns not quite so llrm. that
market being affected by the larger Cuban
exports. Thero was little demand and lh
market appeared to h.ne a sagging
tendency right after Iho call.
