The Raw SUGAR market was cloned in the early part of
the week, owing to the Easter holidays, and the raiaumpt.
of business since 11311 been on a very small scale ; notwith-
standing which prices remain steady. The previa stock is
about 900 cks. Itss than at this time last year, but the
average price exceeds that of last March full 7s. Of Foreign
Sugars there are scarcely soy in market at present, but they
would he worth the quotations if here.
Conran —Nis politic sale of Coffee has been brought for-
ward this week, anal the demand by private contract has
bcea very limited, being chiefly confined to fine qualities,
which are very scarce, prices remain nominally the same.
1W West ludic Coffee the stock is slow 5,000 tons, being
2,500 less than last year at this time ; but present prices
are 375. per cwt. higher.
Cocoa.—No sales of Cocoa were made last week, the in.
quiry fur common test ludia and Brasil continues, but no
parcels are offered ; indeed, the market, generaßy speaking,
is hereof the article.
PERCNTO.—Alibunch we quote gid. to 9,11. per lb. be-
cause no higher price thou the latter has yet been chiniaied,
yet 10d. per lb. is so generally asked for line, that we ilaaaht
whether orders could be executed under that price. '2 , 4
bags are arrived from Jamaica this week.
LOGWOOD even old lauded is not to he bought sander
81. 155.; and 91. is the general price asked fur Cargo Wood;
there seems to be a disposition to buy if holsters would give
way a little in price.
RUM.—There was business done on Weabiesday and Thurs-
day to moderate rate sit its Leeward* at a shade higher than
our last quotations ; but as proof strength may now be bought
at gs. 1161. we slim nut alter prices. Jamaicas are steady in
prices, but unimproved in demand. The present stock of
Rum is 15,200 poucherms, being 2,480 more than at the
same period last year, and prices now about 4d. per gallon
higher.
EAST INDIA PRODUCE.
Seicetd--A large parcel of fine Black Pepper lying at
Liverpool ',which, while it remained in the importee'a hands,
tended to flatten the London market), having been sold, and
the last year's crops at Sumatra and Java, with quantities
from Malabar, being sent to China, where the market was
much higher than au Europe—the confidence of the Mayers
has hero restored, anal considerable plirellaßeN have been
mask. The article has, however, become less lively, and best
qmality may he obtained at 94. Other Spices without match
'lawny. excepting Cassia Lignea, in which good business
has been dame.

Faurr.—A cargo or Cori-ante now binding (honZlit he *
wind...ale house upon arrival) has been resulil, awl are much
