SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar re-
fused to sell under the rates of yesterday, although the
home trade demand is small for the pan and scale. Only
221 hhds, Sm., were sold, making 1,838 for the week; the
tendency, however, appears to be downwards for brown
Sugar. _

better sorts met with a fair demand. Prices closed
with firmness; brown Lumpslat 443 6d to 45s per cwt.
In Crushed Sugar rather more doing for shipping at
previous terms.

13.110 bags Mauritius Sugar was submitted to public
sale, still the whole found buyers, and full rates were
obtained, but the lower sorts of brown sold rather
cheaper; fuse yellow went at 35s to 35s 6d, mid to good
31s 6d to 343 63, low 30s to 31s, grey sorts from 27s to
345, mid to fine brown 27s to 304, low 23s to 26s 6d,
