GLASGOW TRADE,

In their monthly circular, Messrs. William Connal &
Co. say :—Our Sugar Market opened for the year with
an animated demand, at a gradual advance of about
ls. 6d, to 2s. ; good Brown Sugar commanding, towards
the middle of the month, 41s. Gd. to 425. Since then, how-
ever, the market has become quiet, and prices have given
way about is. The stock in first hands being compara-
tively limited, the refiners directed their attention prin-
cipally to floating cargoes. The sales, as far as they have
transpired, comprise 729 hhds., 159 trs., B. P. W. 1.,
370 bags Siam, 2,100 bags Pernambuco on the spot, and
3 cargoes Mauritius, or about 1,800 tons ; 6 cargoes
Pernambuco, Paraiba, and Havana, or about 1,300
tons, and about 400 to 500 tons Beet Root. There have
been no transaction in Molasses; but 139 tons have been'
withdrawn for distillation. There has been a large
business in crushed, at prices about 2s. advance on
previous rates, principally on medium qualities ; but
towards the close there has been less activity,
and prices have given way about ls. Loaves
have been in good demand, at ls. advance.
Rum has been in limited request, but the prices of last
month are maintained.—Nothing done in Coffee or
Spices, there being none offering.—The only sale of
Dyewoods effected was a cargo of about 150 tons St.
Domingo Logwood, at £5 ss. per ton to arrive.—There
is nothing doing in Tea for want of supplies, but the
cargo per Congo is now at Queenstown, for this port.—
Cotton has been in better demand this month, and
prices are now fairly supported. `2
-No advice yet of any
arrival of Mahogany, although the article continues to
be much inquired for.—Tallow is ls. dearer, Y.C. being
now quoted at 595. to 595. 6d.--There is little altera-
tion in the stock of Tobacco in bond, but the de-
liveries have much exceeded the receipts. The arrivals
have been only 20 hhds. 95 boxes and l case, whilst
the deliveries have been 68 hhds. 101 trs. Unmanufac-
tured, and 73 boxes Cavendish. The stock now in bond
comprises 439 hhds. 495 trs. and 4 bales Unmanufac-
tured ; 250 boxes Cavendish, and 28 cases Cigars. The
demand has continued limited at former rates, which
are unchanged. Grain.—Throughout this month the
trade has been very quiet, consumers purchasing only
to supply present wants. Prices of all kinds have
suffered a deline of 6d. to ls. per boll. The arrivals of
foreign Wheat and Flour, as also Canadian white Peas,
have been to a considerable extent far the season of the
year, the greater portion of which has been taken to
store for want of demand. New Baltic Wheat has de-
clined 6d. to 9d. per boll, and Canadian Flour ls. per
barrel. Barley and Oats have been taken to a moderate
extent, at a slight reduction in price. Beans and
white Peas sell slowly at 6d. to ls. per boll decline.
Pig Iron.—Opened dull, and the price receded to
555. 3d. on the 11th, when the report of the French
treaty of commerce caused a reaction, the price advancing
to 58s. 2d. on the 26th. Next day it ,was announced
the makers had resolved to damp the furnaces on the
Ist February, unless Dixon's men, who had gone out for
an advance of wages, returned to their work, in the
meantime, at the old rates ; this caused great excite-
ment, and the market closes very feverish at 61s. cash
for f.o.b. warrants. The stock of. Iron in yards is
146,300 tons, against which warrants are in circulation
for 145,400 tons.
