importation in large quantities of Egyptian sugar is a new thing made necessary through the apprehension that the Cuban jrops by reason of the war will be very poor In addition to this large quantity considerable sugar is being shipped from Hamburg in British steamships and from Honolulu in American clipper clip-per ships FOREIGN FINANCES New York Feb 10The Evening Posts London financial cablegram
