REVIEW OF THE WERE.

Sugar : The activity which has prevailed during the
last few weeks has subsided, the market closing weak, with
very little inquiry, and to effect sales some reduction from
the late extreme rates would be necessary ; the sales are
limited to 125 hhds. 8.P., 1,250 bags date, to arrive, at
47s 6d for low brown, and 68s for yellow gurpattah, 20
hhds. Porto Rico at 61s 9d duty paid, and 2,300 bags
Brazil, chiefly at 38s 3d to 38s 6d per cwt. in bond.

puncheons clayed Cuba at 25s per cwt. ; a cargo of 450
casks Cuba muscovado has been sold, to arrive, but no
price reported. Coffee : We have no additional supply,
and the business is therefore confined to 150 bags unwashed
Rio at 51s 6d to 575, and 60 bags Malabar at 66s per cwt.
330 boxes pearl sago brought 23s 3d to 24s for small, and

per cwt for fine quality. No sales reported in tar or

to 1,000 tons, including 600 for arrival, and prises have
continued to advance, closing at £7 to £7 15s per ton, The
only sales reported in argols are 20 boxes Perugia white at

ben enquired for ; the sales reach 160 tans, prices
being, the same as last week. Nothing worthy of
notice has taken place in seal or cod oil, and in sperm oil
at £9B per tun. Linseed oil is in better request at 40s 6,1
to 41s. Small sales of pale rape are reported at 49s to
50s per cwt. A good business has been done in American
spirits of turpentine at 40s to 43s per cwt., chiefly to arrive
at former price. Palm oil has been in limited demand,
and only 280 tons on the spot, and 100 tons to arrive

is also very limited, and business is confined to 360 bales
at £l9 5s to £'2l 10s per ton, being about previous rates.
The transactions in beef for the week are below the average
extent, but a better business is looked for now with the
arrival of the over due vessels; prices are steadily sup
ported for all qualities. Pork is quiet also, the few sales
reported being chiefly of old, at a shade under former rates,
new American scarcely asked for. A change to milder
weather has imported a somewhat more cheerful tone to
the bacon market, and a fair extent of business for the
week is reported at a decline of about Gd per cwt, holders
meeting buyers freely. Lard being less freely offered,
buyers have become less shy, and the sales on the spot
exceed 100 tons, at prices a shade over last week's quota-
tions. English cheese is again lower, and American not
much sought after,
