(From the London New Price Current of this day,)

SUGAR.—The lowest point of the market for West India
was in the early part of February when sales of brown
were made at 15s to 30s 6d, and yellow 31s to 39s ; the
present currency is for the former 31s to 33s 6d, and 34s
to 40s for the latter. Of both Colonial and Foreign im-
ports here for the year have amounted to 205,000 tons,
and 214,000 in 1851; deliveries for home consumption are
200,000, and 172,000 in the previous season • for exporta-
tion they are 30,000 and 20,000 in 1851, stocks: comprise
69,000, and at the close of 1851, they were 89,000 tons.

desirous to operate prices on the advance for refined sugar,
especially for inferior and mid qualities. Sales of brown
lumps 455; Tittlers, low to fine 45s 6d to 49s 6d, double
508 to 51; Hambro Loaves 46s to 50s, double 51s to 525,
Standard lumps 46s 6d. per cwt. There are ready buyers
for delivery at these terms and with few sellers. To-day
there were ready buyers of Refined Sugar for home con-
sumption, and prices are still on the advance; good brown
lumps are with difficulty to be obtained under 45s 6d. per
cwt. Crushed Sugar is much wanted for exportation.
MAIIRITIIIS.—The lowest rates current were in the early
part of February—brown selling at 22s 6d to 295, and yel-

28s to 33s 6d, and 32s 6d to 39s for the latter. Several
