MINCING LANE.—THIS DAY.
St:GAIL—On 'Change yesterday about 2,600 boxes yel-
low llavannah were sold at 19e. in bond, for exportation.
COFFEE.—There has been a small speculative densr4
and about 1,000 bags of good ordinary native Ceylon sill'
at 395. 6d.

new to some extent has been done in common, and etry 3
good common Congou at 84. to 94. per lb.
In other articles no alteration; the holidays continue.
Scoutt.—The market has closed for the year sad= •
unfortunate year for the importers can sansiskis
bored. Oa referring to the Gazette averages the tbssp
descriptions, British plantation, Mauritius, and East India,
we find the price to be on the 7th of January, 295. od., ex-
elusive of duties; on the 25th of March it was 275. 9d., on •
the 24th of June 250. ad., on the 30th of Sentember23s.
ow the 23rd of December. 201. 10d., showing a decline of as! '
The highest general average in the year was 295. ltd., the
lowest 19s. 74. The hicle.st of West ladM was 30s. 11d.,
the lowest 21s. 2d.; Mauritius, tha highest 295. 24., the
lowest 19s. Id.; East India, the highest 34n. 6d., the lowest
15s. 2d. ; but to explain this great difference it may be well '
to remark that during the last month the very low qualities
were chiefly sold, when Khaur (Bengal) sold at Va., duty :
paid, which was only 12s. in bond. Foreign sugar is not
included in the awns avenge, but on reference to tho
grgprices we find thst there has been a similar decline.
