SUGAR.—The demand for Muacovades last week was consider.
able for the season of the year; some small parcels of very inferior
brown were a shade lower ; in the other qualities there was no al-
teration in the prices. The Watt India warehouse list gives an
additiiin of meek, compared with last year, above 2360 casks, and a
deficiency in the weekly delivery of nearly 1000 casks; yet the
wholesale grocers are so much out ot their usual stock that they ap.
peered early in the market as buyers. yet only for their immediate
wants, and the purchases reported still inconsiderable, without any
vatiatlon in 'prices. The request for Refined rods rather increased
last week; Lumps 81s,. Molasses 29a ed. The severe frost pre.
vents all inquiries for shipping in the northern ports ; Lumps are
in consequence nominally Mx; today no sales reported; the
wholesale groeern buy fine goods in mr.oll parcels at former rates.
Molasses are 29s ed this forenoon. There were no sties of Foreign
or East India Sugars by private contract last week. ''he following

on account of the favourable intelligence by the mails from Rolland
and from Flanders ; several parcels of St. Domingo and Brazil
eoflee sold at an advance ; St. Domingo has since been 57 a3B ;
fine ordinary Brazil 375. By public rale this forenoon, 187 casks

produced. St. Domingo 57s a Ws. it would be difficult to pur.
chase largely at these pries.
FRUIT.—Tito market is abundantly 'upped with every tie-
leription, and,but few buyers make their appearance; to attempt to
fore, saleitat this moment a conaiderahle reduction must he submitted
to. A parcel of New Ited Smyrna Itaisins WWI divided in part last

inferior quality, theholders of good are Looking forward for better
