(Feohl T. 4- H. Littledale 4 o.'B'2lfontlily Circular.)
We have had a very steady consumptive
demand for Sugar throughout the month, and
prices generally have been supported, with the
.exception of Bengal Dates, which have been in
plentiful supply. The weather, though now fine,
has generally been very unsettled, and has pre-
vented the fruit from ripening. The stocks in
the four ports have slightly increased, and are
now estimated at 122,000 tons, against 118,000
last year, and 108,000 in 1858. The quantity on
the way is less than last year, and with anything
like an average consumption, prices ought at
least to be supported. The large estimates of the
:Mauritius crop were rather reduced by the last
mail; but on the other hand, the weather in the
lArest Indies, particularly in Barbadoes, had
improved, and prospects for average crops were
brightening.
Molasseb have been in excellent demand, and
pxices have further advanced 6d to is per cwt.;
19s 6d has been realised for two cargoes of Bar-
badoes to arrive. We have also to report a small
parcel of Barbadoes Melado at 28s.

(From T. 4- H. LittLeckie 6- Co.'s Monthly Circular)
9, MINCING-LANE, LONDO.N, Bth September.—
The market during the past month has again
been quiet, London and country dealers evincing
no desire to purchase, except for their immediate
requirements. The two mails from China have
not brought any political news calculated to cause
improvement, while the large proportion of new
tea settled, and already on its way to this country,
has to some extent nullified the prospect of a
short supply for the coming season. The
numerous public auctions during the month, the
greater portion of which consisted of tea offered
" without reserve," have occupied much time.
Black : Common Congou has been sparingly
dealt in,
a small parcel realising is 3d per lb.
In flavory kinds there has been a decline of ld
per lb, and at this reduction there has been a
moderate demand from the trade. Blackish
leaf 3, of which there has been a fair supply on
the market, are unsaleable, except at a. fall of 3d
to ld per lb. In Monings and Oopacks little has
been done. Medium and fine Kaisows have been
in better request, a fair business having been
done at abcut 1 ravious rates. Common Tayshans
have been %old in public sale, "without reserve,"
ld to lid per lb lower, A large quantity of

scented' ea Is on offer ; common Caper must be
quoted =id per lb lower. Green: There has been
t a air inquiry for most medium kinds, young
kysons and Gunpowders selling at fully
previous market rates. The better grades
ha...se been neglected. There have been
four public sales since our last -at *liich

ItvERPOoL, Bth SeptrAper.—Our market has
continued in the sa ie inactive state as noticed
for some time past, and closes with increased
depression,. The wants of the trade are small;
and they refuse to buy in quantity, except at
pekes to which holders at present will not submit.
We see little chance of improvement so long as
the frequent large public auctions, without re-
serve, are kept up in London or something deci-
sive occurring in China which would interfere
with the shipment of Tea, which-as yet is coming
down freely from the interior. There has been a
decline in the month of Id. per lb. on flavoury
kinds and Black-leaf Congous up to Is. Ad., whilst
the finest kinds of 'Toning and Oopack are qiiite
neglected. Fine Kaisows are saleable at previous
rates. In Scented Teas a fall of id. has been
submitted to. Greens remain as before ; but
there has been rather more inquiry for fine to
finest Gunpowder, which has sold at full rates.
