SUGAR.—The West India Muscovado Market continues in
a dull and declining state, both grocers and refiners purchasing
with extreme caution at a further reduction in prices of Is.
Privately, sales of Nevis of ordinary brown quality have been
made at 525. 6d., which is the lowest point of the Market for
`that description. Good brown Jamaica and St. Kitts have
been sold at 545. to 555. ; Antiguas, fine yellow grocery
625. 6d. to 645. ; and middling and good middling yellow
qualities from other places at 575. to 61s. ; at auction 130
hhds. Barbadoes sold heavily at a reduction of 6d. to Is., and
they went at 635. to 68s. for good and fine yellow. The ar-
rivals since this day week have been rather heavy, amounting
to 1,750 blids., &c. The last Gazette average price was
365. 40., and last year at the same period it was 40s. 3rd.
The decline which has taken place has been again principally
on the ordinary brown and yellow descriptions, which have
been the most difficult to dispose of. A public sale of 120
casks Barbadoes is announced to take place on Tuesday next.
This afternoon there was a partial revival in the demand,
and about 700 hhds. were taken at yesterday's prices, making
the private sales for the week 1,700 hhds. and trs.
In Refined goods no alteration in their value has taken
place this week ; the Market still continues in a very dull
state, the grocers purchasing only just enough for their imme-
diate wants, which at present arc very moderate, and for ship-
ping there has been little done, but owing to goods for
immediate delivery being scarce, the buyers have been com-
pelled to pay for small parcels of double Crushed 375., and
78s. for Lumps entitled to the double bounty. Treacle has
been much in request, and the supply at Market being short,
stiffer prices have been obtained for the best qualities. Bastards
have fully maintained late rates ; the demand has been steady ;
good and fine qualities are scarce. In Dutch Crushed nothing
further has been done, but there are no sellers under 345. 6d.

This afternoon the transactions are only small parcels of
double Crushed at 375. ; Lumps rather under the standard
taken by the grocers at 765., and to pass at 78s.
MAURITIUS.—None has been offered at public sale, and the
request by private contract has been to a very limited extent,
at prices rather under those of last week ; 1,500 bags are an-
nounced for auction on the 24th. There has been an arrival
of 6,680 bags. This day another parcel of 6,680 bags is ad-
vertised for auction next Tuesday. This afternoon 207 bags
offered at auction, sold at a reduction of Is. 6d. ; good strong
grey for the pan 565. 6d., and washed at 565.
EAST INDIA —ln Bengal scarcely any demand has existed
by private contract, but in the prices no further reduction can
be quoted, and none h.ave been offered at auction, but 2,194
bags arc announced for next Tuesday. For Foreign East
India little inclination is evinced to buy at present rates ;
6,893 bags Siam and China at auction were nearly all taken
in and withdrawn at stiff prices, a few lots of the latter went
at 245. 6d. for mid yellow ; since the sale a few parcels of
the former have been taken, tine strong white at 325., mid
•?7s. 6d; .565 bags Bourbon sold at is. decline, and were for
shipping only, ord to mid yellow at 21s. 6d. to 225. 6d. and
washed 21s. to 225.
FOREIGN.—The Market for all descriptions has been in a
languid and declining state, and the transactions have been
confined exclusively to the large parcels offered at public sale,
a very small portion only of which have with difficulty found
buyers at reduced prices ; of 2,600 boxes white Havannah
offered only 260 were disposed of, at and after the sale, at a re-
duction of Is. per cwt., good quality with strength went at
345. 6d. to 365., the rest were taken in at 38s. for similar
quantity and strong grain, the offers not being within 2s. of
that price; 1,500 boxes yellow went at about previous rates
