(From the London New Price Current of October 11.)
SUGAR.-The transactions in brown and middling yel-
low descriptions of West India Sugar have been very li-
mited this week, and previous rates have not been main-
tained by 6d to is per cwt; but for strong grey and good
middling and good bright yellow sorts at and above 63s
6d, there has been a fair demand, and the prices paid are
fully equal to those of this day week; the supply is getting
small, still there has not been much life in the market,
buyers taking only sufficient to supply their present wants,
and the refiners have bean the principal operators.
The purchases for the three days have amounted
to 1,400 blids and tierces, including a public sale of
101 hhds Barbadoes, which went off at previous rates,
middling fetched 64s 6d to 655, and good middling to good
65s 6d to 675; by private contract, good brown Trinidad
has been sold at 595, rather better Tobago 60s, low
middling 61s, fair middling 62s ; Antigua, rather better
635, good 64s to 65s per cwt. The stock exceeds that of
1838 at this period by 5,139 hhds, &c., and the deliveries
continue to fall off at the rate of 1,100 nhde per week.
The arrivals have amounted to only 374 hhds, &c., since
our last report.
This afternoon the operations were on a more extended
scale, and a fair business was transacted in grocery as
well as in refining qualities; the sales are 700 hhds, &c.,
and former rates supported. The purchases for the week
amount to 2,100 hhds and tierces.
REFINED. -- The operations in Refined Goods for
home consumption have been on a small scale since this
day week, the trade buying only sufficient for their
immediate wants, but the supply of goods being
rather small, has prevented any decline in prices
worth mentioning, they are, however, rather lower;
standard lumps have been sold at 79s 6(1 to 80s,
and brown ones at 78s to 79s per cwt. Treacle has been
taken sparingly, and prices are rather lower. In Pieces
there has been little passing, but in quotations no change
has occurred. Bastards continue dull of sale, particularly
the common sorts, and easier rates have been submitted to.
For export there has been a better demand for goods re-
fined under bond, and several parcels of Crushed have been
sold at 34s 3d a 34s 6d. Dutch is held for 33s 6d per
cwt., but there has not been much doing.
MAURITIUS.-The private purchases have been on a
small scale, in refining as well as in grocery descriptions,
but in prices little variation has occurred; the supply of
good coloury sorts is still small, and these are the most in
request: only 200 bags of indifferent quality have been
offered at auction; which sold rather cheaper; low mid-
dling yellow went at 60s 6d to 61s, good middling 63s 6d,
middling brown 58s per cwt. The weekly deliveries are
still large, exceeding those of last year. The stock is
11.800 bags more than at this period in 1838.
EAST INDIA.-The common qualities of Bengal have
been taken sparingly by the home trade, and prices have
L ' given way Is per cat; but coloury sorts are still wanted,
and being scarce, command stiff prices ; at auction, 3,700
bags have been offered, consisting chic fly of ordinary and
middling kinds, nearly the whole were disposed of ; good
and fine white fetched 68s to 695, good mid 675, low to mid
63s to 655, good and fine dry yellow 64s to 65s 6d, mid 63s
to 63s 6d, damps 63s to 66s 6d, washed 61s to 65s per cwt.
No arrival since this day week. For Manilla the demand
continues on the increase, and prices are rather higher; the
private operations are 2,500 bags, at 22s 6d to 235; 1,170
bags at public sale sold readily-low yellow fetched 22s to
22s 6d, middling 235, low middling grey 23s to 23s 6d,
and brown 21s to 21s 6d. Siam is not much wanted,
and late rates were not maintained by 6d per cwt, at a
public sale of 1,377 bags-low to good mid white sold at
25s to 28s 6d, damaged 23s 6d to 275. Java of brown
and grey qualitiea are held for previous quotations, white
sorts are however 6d lower, there does not appear to be
many orders here for this description, and half only of
980 baskets at auction found buyers, chiefly the lower de-
scriptions, good and fine white brought 27 6d to 295, low
yellow to good grey 23s to 25s id per cwt.
This afternoon the auctions consisted of 5,423 bags 130
cases Manilla, and 800 bags Siam ; the former were mostly
disposed of, but on easier terms, very ord dark damp brown
went at 19s to 20s, good brown 20s to 20s 6d, low mid
yellow 21s to 225, mid greyi,h yellow 22s to 22s 6d,
damps 18s 6d to 225, washed 18s 6d to 21s; Siam sold at
26s to 28s 6d for good mid to fine white, mid grey 25s to
25s 6d, and damps 24s to 26s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-The private operations in white Havannah
and Brazil have been on a small scale, the orders for the
Baltic being nearly all executed, and some of the holders
are not so firm in their pretensions, and have accepted 43s
for an average parcel of 600 chests of the former, which is
Is below former rates; for a small parcel fine picked 43s
has been refused : in the latter the sales are only 120 chests
Bahia at 26s for middling quality, and 40 chests very old
soft Pernams 22s to 265. in yellow Havannah the trans-
actions have been limited, but in prices we have no altera-
tion to notice, common brown Brazil is however in request,
and bring previous rates.
MOLASSES.-In prices of West India no further change
has taken place, but the demand hat been on a limited
scale, and confined to small parcels of fine St. Vincent's at
345, and middling Montserrat at 32s per cwt.
COFFEE.-The trade has purchased very sparingly of
West India, particularly of unclean sorts, which must be
quoted 2s to 3s lower; ord and fine ord kinds are rather
cheaper, but mid and low mid qualities have maintained
previous rates; fine mid kinds are however again lower,
making the fall from the highest point of the market lOs
per cwt. At public sale 300 casks, &c., have been offered,
nearly the whole of which found buyers. Jamaica
fine mid and fine sold at 128 s a 1325, mid 117 s a
120 s, low mid 113 s a 115 s, fine and fine fine ordinary
106 s a 112 s 6d, and ord 95s a 101 s. There has been no
arrival this week. In East India the transactions by pri-
vate treaty have been on a small scale, and the public
sales have gone off heavily; 2,600 bags Java from the
Cape have been brought forward, and nearly all taken in,
good pale at 79s a 80s, and fine bold at 84s, being equal
to previous rates ; the small quantity sold consisted of com-
mon sorts, which went 2s a 3s cheaper, and sold at 62s a 79s
according to quality ; 454 bags Mysore were taken in at
public sale at 73s 6d fur fine even green quality, 300 bags fine
ord Rio at 60a; 442 bags Manilla sold at stiff prices, and
brought 79s 6d a 81s for green quality, very clean and of
good flavour ; 71 bags Salem fetched 106 s a 103 s fur file
ordinary. Cylon has sold slowly by private treaty, and
56 bags at auction were taken in at reduced rates, viz.
good ord at 995, and fine ord at 100 s a 101 s 6d per cwt.
good ord is generally held for 100a.-Mocha has supported
late rates, but the purchases have been trivial. The mar-
ket for Foreign has been very quiet, and in Brazil and St.
Domingo the private sales are not worth enumerating,
holders however generally remain firm in their pretensions,
and have obtained 49s a 50s for the latter of good and fine
ord quality.
This afternoon the auctions consisted of 1,438 bags St.
Domingo and 1,093 bags East India ; of the former all
found buyers, but at prices 6d to is lower, good ord went
at 48s to 48s 6d ; the latter was all disposed of and brought
previous rates, good and flee ord Semarang went at 62s to
675, inferior 58s, very ord country damaged Sumatra 38s,
and good ord 45s 6a to 51s per cwt.
FRUIT -.Three cargoes of new Valencia Raisins have
been cleared off this week at 425. There are none re-
maining in the importers hand ; further arrivals however
are hourly expected. For Currants there is more inquiry
for the home trade ; new Muscatel Raisins are selling at
the prices quoted, but are taken off very slowly and in
small quantities.
PROVISIONS.-In the Butter market a good business has
been done since our last, generally at improving prices
fine Irish has sold at 90s a 935, and the best Friesland slandhsas;
fetched 100 s, and in some eases rather more
dull of sale, but not varied in prices. The Baconamrdarsktielti
remains steady, and extreme prices are paid for good qua-
lities which are not so abundant as the inferior kinds.
Cheese moves off moderately.
INDIOO.-Bengal, at the sales, has fetched 9s 3d to 9s 8d
for good and fine purple and violet, good to fine violet I
3s 9d to Os 2d, ordinary and middling
ditto 7s 3d to 85 6d,
violet and copper 7s to 8s 4d, cons'aming descriptions 65 3d
to 8s 3d, ord and trash 45 3d to 6s, Madras 4s to 55 Ild,
Kurpah 3s Ild to 7s 3d, and fine Manilla 64 to 65 lld
per lb. The average advance on Bengal, when compared
with the rates established in July, is full 6d per lb, with
the exception of very ordinary descriptions.
