GROCERS' G A ZETTE

BRISTOL SCGAR MARKET, October IG.--The late
excitement has passel away, but the market remains
firm, aud the late advance fully paid throughout the
wiek. We quote Wrist India We. to 40e, per cwt. ;of
nth, r kinds of raw sugar none is offering. The cause of
the late improvement in value is four:old, namely, beet-
root short in France, short expected crop from
Mauritian, American, buying in thmerara, and an
enormous falling off in the L iusinana crop from
want of labour and cultivation. On. -half the surplus
stock of raw sugar in this country 000.i' • flow clayed
Manilla, and of medium good and useful sugar the stock
is not so widely different from that of last year. Refined
goods, crushed, &C., sell well, at full price,.
Isixtiox AND COLONIAL PRODUCE, Friday.— In the
Colonial and Foreign Produce Markets tranuctionr, thin
week have been fully up to the recent average, and
prieu in nearly all came. are firmly maintained. Arrivals '
have been small, and with some extension of deliveries
s.ocks in several instances exhibit • further diminution,
but are ample novel ',lulu., and stall show an excess
over those of last year at this time. The speculative
demand for sugar has flagged at interval*, but in the
aggregate • large business has again been concluded, and
for strong lirown refining kinds quotations are partially
Ed, per cwt. higher, with renewed inquiries at the close,
In refined sugars there is leu doing. Colonial coffees
hare met a better sale, and importers having offered
supplies leu freely prices are firmer. Floating cargoes
attract but little attention li, rici,husinens is confined
to the commoner kinds, for which full krtns are paid.
The dried fruit trade is moderately active, without
essential change in quotations. Ginger is again the
turn dearer ; cloves barley no firm, and other spices
stud,, with a fair demand. Public tea sales have gone
at full prices for Assam kiwis. Fine Moiling and Kai-
sow *wives of the new er•op have been purchased to
'ionic extent, principally for export. In the oil and
tallow trade there is no new feature.
