this forenoon is not so estenolve as last week ; only 600 bays bare beta
sold up to a late hour to-day ; Surats as 40. a bed., Egyptian 74d.
SUGAR.—The few new Sugars at market last week met a ready sa I.
and as the quantity offering was not sufficient for the demand. seterst
parcels of old were disposed of ; there was no alteration to the currency.
There Is rather a good supply of new Sugars at market today, sad as the
buyers only purchase fur their immediate wants, in the anticipation of
lower prices when the supply Is abundant, which will be the cue la oar
or two weeks, they have to-day purchased on rather a limited scale. The
public sales of blarbedoes and Mauritius Sugars also tended to keep arm
from purchasing until the 'ale prices were ascertained. The qaandlf
landed last wick is abote 6000 casks, against about 2000 last year; the
stock has therefore rather increased. The weekly deliveries continue to
exceed those of N 323. The purchases by private contract at the close of
the day are more limited than usual ; the market is heavy, but no redac-
tion in prices can be quoted. The Barbadoes, new. 2100 ht:ria., went odd

holders were dfisposed to sell ; very oiffinary St. Domingo, tanned!
4.5 e. 6d., sold at 411 x., and for tine ordinary.bls. was refined; lei irk*
public sales to any extent are brought forward, the buyers have not mew
forward, and the sales have gone off heavily and rather lower: thn ast

FRUIT.—The market continues in a very languid state. and P'l".hild
made only sufficient to supply the Immediate wants.
OILS.—AIt descriptions of common Oils are heavy, and again lower;
the holders of the Sperm lately arrived refuse to sell, and in consequence
the market may be stated more bent. Seed Oils are noeshially at the qac•
tattoos of last week.

the nearest price to-day is 329.64. Hemp and Flax are little varied.

continues high, and purchrkes cannot be made at former prices; there
no alteration in the nominal currency here. Geneva is without alteration.

for immediate consumption.
