SUGAR.—There were few parcels of new Sugars left on sale last we*,
on account of the continued easterly winds preventing the arrival of the
expected supplies ; therepere In consequence few trap-actions r.ported.
the market partaking orr.te general stagnation of trade ; there was no ill
titration in the currency. There are no Muscovades on sale tkii nom

forenoon, and few purchases by private contract are lately reported. Its
market Is In a very extraordinary state : If sales were premed, we think it
would be difficult to sell a quantity of St. Domingo Coffee at Pls., Radii
extensive orders were to appear (we understand there were comiderible
orders by the mans yesterday; it would be difficult to purchase a Inge
parcel of St. Demingo at 495. ; it ought to be observed the quality of St.
Domingo and Brazil Coffee as greatly fallen of; parcels aid; colour
would sell higher than the usual quotations which we inert.
