(From the London New Price Current, April 20.)
StIGAR.-To-day the West India Sugar market pre-
Anted a firm tone, both grocers and refiners were de-
sirous to do business paying an advance on the rates of
Friday at 6d per cwt. A public sale of 19 hhds and
8 trcs Barbadoes went at a similar rise, good yellow sell-
ing at 36s to 37s 6d, good mid 35s to 35s 6d, mid 33s to
34s 6d, low 31s to 325, and brown 29s 6d to 30s per cwt.
REFINED.-To-day Refined Sugar was 'much in re-
quest for home trade purposes, and rates left off with
firmness, brown lumps at 44s 6d, and ord to fine gro-
cery lumps at 44s Gd, and ord to fine grocery lumps at
45s to 495. In Crushed Sugar purchasers to a fair ex-
tent made for shipping, at former rates there are not
not free sellers.
MAURITIUS.-This afternoon the demand was active
for Mauritius Sugar, and an advance took place of 6d
per cwt. At auction 5,700 bags were disposed of; fine
yellow went at 34s to 34s 6d, good mid to good 32s 6d
to 33s 6d, low to mid 30s to 325, good to fine brown 28s
to 30s, and grey sorts from 293 to 34s per cwt.
FOREIGN.-To-day Foreign Sugar was much in de-
mand privately for the continental markets, and stiffer
rates were offered. Several parcels of Manilla were
sold at from 31s to 32s 6d for clayed, not clayed 28s to
29s 6d, and 1,000 chests yellow Havannah at from 33s to
33s for ord to fine, whilst a floating cargo sold at 19s for
No. 12. At auction 86 hhds and 25 brls St. Croix were
sold, good to fine yellow at 38s to 41s, ord common 30s
to :339, and 30 hhds Porto Rico at 32s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the demand for Madras
Sugar greatly increaied, and an advance of 6d per cwt
was established. At suction 15,600 bags were all dis-
posed of, soft brown went at 223 to 243, fine ditto 24s 6d to
255, soft yellow 25s to 27s 6d, fine ditto 28s to 29s 6d,
graining white 41s to 435, good to fine yellow ditto 35s
to 37e, and other kinds 31s to 34s 6d. Bengal met with
greater attention, and in some cases realised an advance
of 6d per ctrl. At public sales 3,500 bags were sold.
Benares fine white at 35s 6d to 365, low to good 32s 6d
to 355, damp 32s to 35s 6d, mid to good like Mauritius

mand for Trinidad, and full rates were obtained. At
auction 500 bags were sold, ord to fine red at from 32s
to 40s, and grey 19s to 323 per cwt.
COFFEE.-To-day private operations in Coffee were
small both for the continental markets and home con-
-sumwion, previous terms were not generally sustained,
altheugh at present there is a limited supply. The closing
rates for native Ceylon were 37s 6d to 38, of Plantation
74 casks and 22 bags at auction were sold at rather
lower prices, low mid at 49s to 49s 6d, good Peaberry
61s to 625, and a few lots of triage et 41s to 42s 6d for
fair criatity.
TEAS -To-day the previous currency was generally
Sustained for both Black and Green Tea, but the public
soles proceeded with dullness. Of 10,800 pkgs offered,
4,100 found buyers, consisting chiefly of the better sorts,
FRUIT.-T'nero is a large demand for Currants, still
rates remain at 28s to 345, and old 24s to 265. Little is
doing in Raisins, new Valencia are offered at 28a to 30s,
and Dania 223 to 243. At auction to day 1,700 pkgs
Muscatels sold at 32s to 475, and 193 baskets Fero soft
shell Almonds at 31s, and 25 boxes Jordan 1303 to 1403.
Rzcz.-There is a reluctance on the part of exporters
and home dealers to operate; purchases can easily be
made at previous moderate rates. Good to fine white
Bengal eta be obteined at 9.3 9J to 10s 61 mid to good
mid Os to 9s 6J, broken 88 6d to 8s 9d, cargo 8s;

to 10s, pea barley Arracan, 8s Gd to 9s.
Town dressed Carolina is still quoted at 24s to 275, and
low to fine Patua Ils to 163; yet purchases are upon a
small scale, and supply is reeer more plentiful. Sago
met with little notte, and can be obtained at a decline;
small pearl 143 to 17s, large and medium 21s to 245, and
common lOs to lie. Several parcels of Sage Flour
have been sold at 14e to 14s 6d. Arrowroot finds a
more ready sale; Bermuda Is to Is Id; other sorts of
West India 3d to 7.1, and East India lid to 2d. per lb.
SPIRITS.-East India Ram is not offered under Is 4d
proof, although there are few buyers. Leeward Island
has been dealt in with caution, still holders are asking
Isisd to is Sid proof, on account of a small supply.
Demerara remains plentiful, and purchases have been
small, although 30 to 40 per cent, over proof can be ob-
tained at from 1e lld to 2s 2d. The market for
Jamaica is dull, there is no decrease of supply, and
holders are willing to accept for choice marks 35 to 38
over proof 3s 4d to 4s, fine ditto 23 10d to 3s 3d, good
mid to good 32 to 34 over 2s 4d to 28 6d, mid 2s to 2s 3d,
and l jw 24 to 30 over proof is 9d to Is lld per gallon.
For Brandy there is no decided reduction. Cognac best
brands of the vintage cf 1851 can be obtained at 49 ld
to 4s 3d, 1853 ditto 4s 4d to 48 6d, 1849 ditto 4s 9cl
to 44 11d, 1848 ditto 5s 3d to 5s sd, older 5s 6d to
as 6d, low to mid 2s 4d to 4s, and Bordeaux Is lid to
2s Id. The British Spirit trade remains inactive at 9a
8d to 9s 9d net cash, Gin 8s 6d for 22 under, and 17
ditto at 9s; indeed, some parties are selling rather
under these rates. Geneva is wanted, common at Is 10d
to is I Id, and fine 2s to 2s 4d; at present supply is
small; several parcels are looked for shortly.
PROVISIONS.-Irish Butter meets with little attention,
although there are sellers at very low prices. Cork can
be obtained at 66s to 723, Carlow, Clonmell, and Kil-
kenny 52s to 745, Waterford and Limerick 50s
to 60s, Tralee and Kilrush 48s to 50s. Friesland,

fine 705 to 745, Edam and Leer 58s to 645, and inferior
48s to 565. Imports were 2,706 cks for the past week.

mid has been dealt in with caution at 60s to 708, low 50a
to 56s per cwt, and Fresh 7s 6d to lOs 6d per dozen
lbs. A large business has been done in
Bacon at an advance; Irish small meat sells at 47s to
525, heavy 46s to 495, and Hamburgh sizeable 46s to
493. Middles met with a free sale, and rates are on
the advance ; Irish bale at 44s to 46, tierce 43s
to 455, Hamburgh and American 43s to 455.

to 445. Gouda 30s to 375, Kanter 18s to 28316 d, and
American 355 to 46s per cwt.
