(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 20.)
SUGAR.—There has been an increased disinclination
evinced on the part of the grocers to purchase West India
Muscovadoes Sugar this week, and the demand has been
very limited for all descriptions ; the purchases have also
been on a small scale for refining purposes, and the mer-
chants have submitted to a reduction on former rates of
t;',;l, and in some instance' of is per cwt; the private pur-
chases to yesterday amounted to only 1,100 hhds aad trs,
fine brown St. Kitts at 635, middling: yellow Jamaica
64s 6d, and fine Iniddling Antigua 68s 6d ; at auction, 100
Barbadoes have been offered, a part only of which found
buyers, and former rates were barely maintained ; good
middling to fine quality went at 66s to 085 6d, and one lot
at 69s per cwt. This afternoon the mar;:et continues ex-
tremely quiet, but in prices there is no further' chatlge ; the
sales for the week are only 1,300 hhds and trs.
REFINED.—The demand has become limited for Rens?"'
goods for home consumption, and rather lower prices hays'
been submitted to for the better descriptions, and Us 6d
has been accepted for standard lumps; several parcels of
Crushed have been disposed of at 34s 9d to 355, and there
are not further sellers under the latter figure. Bastards
have become dull of sale, and in some instances purchases
have been made on easier terms. Pieces, rather lower
prices have been accepted. Dutch Crushed Sugar 33s 6d.
MAURITIUS.—The private purchases have been limited,
at a decline on last week's rates of 6d per cwt ; low yellow
went at 635, middling 645, good 65s to 665, and very fine
Us. good brown 61s 6d, fine 62s 6d.
This afternoon at auction 524 bags sold at 62s 6d to
63s 6d for low to mid yellow, being their former value.
EAST INDlA.—Bengal at the rates previously established,
good greyish yellow at 64s 6d to 655, middling white 66s

brown 56s to 59s 6d. Manilla at 2ls 6d to 22s 6d for fine
brown and low yellow, ordinary at 21s, and damaged
21s 6d to 225. Siam at the late advanced rates. Of Java
none has been offered at auction, and the private operations
have been confined to small parcels at 27s 6d to 288 for
geoci middling grey.
This afternoon there was less inclination to buy Java
Sugar, and 105 baskets at auction went rather cheaper;;
good yeliow seiilng at 25s 6d a 26s per cwt. ; 6,588 bags
and 43 pipes Manilla low mid yellow fetched 22s 6d a 235;

tended scale, and 700 boxes have been sold by private

middling.
TEA.—The auctions which commenced on Monday
have terminated. The trade Purchased freely at the be-
ginning at prices rather within the rates ruling in the
market previously. Comparing these sales with the
average of those at the early part of the month, we observe
hare), any alteration in Black Teas, except Flowery Pa'
koe, which has fallen 3d per lb ; of Green Teas—Twan-
kits!, Hyson Skin, and Young Hyson, have supported
value ; Hyson, Imperial and Gunpowder declined from Id
to 3d per lb.
Coarag.—The dullness which was perceivable in the
British Plantation Coffee Market last week has increased
this, and the demand has become very limited, the trade
even purchasing sparingly of middling and good clean
qualities, and a reduction on previous rates of 2s a 8s has
taken place upon common descriptions ; good and fine
kinds are also Is to is 6d cheaper.

This afternoon the home market was flat, but in prices
no variation of moment has occurred ; 64 casks, &e., un-
clean Jamaica at auction were principally taken at 120 s for
mid and good ord at 99s ; 248 bags Ceylon bought in at
100 s a 101 s for good ord mixed, being its full value.

Rom, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.—NO decided reduction
can be quoted in the prices of Rum, but the market conti
nues very quiet, and in Leewards scarcely any thing has
been done ; of Jamaica only 140 puns have been sold, 28
per cent over proof very pale colour and but little flavour
at 5s 10d, 34 over fine quality 6s 8d; the arrivals 3ince our
last have amounted to 800 puns and hhds. For Brandy a
fair demand has been experienced, and a trifling advance
has been obtained for good qualities, but ord sorts remain,
as last quoted. Geneva bas sold steadily at the rates 0,
this day week. In British Corn Spirits no variation.
SALTPETRE.—For Rough there are few export orders at
present, and from the home trade the demand has been limited
but importers remain firm, and the rates previously estab-
lished have been maintained. This afternoon the market
was very quiet for Rough • two parcels offered at auct ion,
consisting of 2,247 bags dalcutta, wcre all taken in at full
prices, 54 a 94 per cent at 24s 6d a 255, and 4* at 264;

ingly limited for Petersburg Yellow Candle, although im-

3s 6d, to 4s ; from the warehouses 48s 3d to 48s 6d has
been accepted for first quality, and 48s for Tallow which
has just passed the Sound. For delivery in the last three
months there has been little passing, and prices have de-
clined to 46s 6d to 47s per cwt. In Town Tallow the
purchases have been limited at the quotations. This after-
noon 223 casks Monte Video at auction only partly found
buyers at 463 9d a 46g.
