MARKETS.

SUGAR.—The ge price of sugar, the produce of the
British possessions in America, computed from the returns
made in the week ending the 14th day of August, 1865, is
225. 111 d. per cwt. No return of brown or Muscovado
sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, has been made in the
week ending as above. The g price of brown or Mum-
coved° sugar, the produce of the Bast Indies, in the week
ending as above, and exclusive of duty, is 28s. lota. The
average prim of the two foregoing descriptions of sugar,
jointly, is 235. 2jd.

SIIOAR.—BnIexoL, At/ova 17.—The market un-
thups animated, and prices have still an upward
tendency. The offices have been daily cleared of
every fresh lot of West India brought forward, in
which description the sales retch searly 1,000 hbds., in addi-
tion to which 6,000 mats of Mauritius and 4,000 boxes of
ha have alai found buyers, the two latter being for
arrivaL A mush larger ►usiness could have !mondani' had
importers been diapPeed to realise. The refined market is
far from active, and tut manufacturers fled it impoesible to
obtain any advance for their goods. The rum market is
quiet, but prices are firm.

TALLOW.—The market has declined this week, notwith-
standing the large demand on the spot and the extensive
deliveries from the warehouses. The decline appears to us
to be the effect of forced sales on the spot by parties who're-
&lived tallow on contracts early in the month, and which has
been pressed for sale to meet the prompts. The only new.
received this week bearing on the value of tallow is from
South America. It had been thowht that thence we
should receive an average quantity this mason ; It appears,
however, that (to quote the Bekaa Packet, Buenos Ayres,
June 30) " the Saladeros have been doing comparatively
nothing. We cannot expect any considerable supplies for
he next three or four months." It seems, therefore, that
the expectations heretofore formed of the supply from
South America are likely to be disappointed. Ws have no
advice. from St. Petersburg to-day. The letters received
yesterday quote IlOti paid for Y.C. on the spot, and carriagel
100 cop:ks. The market opened this morsisi Sat, but
