last market day, 4.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 13.)
SUGAR.-The grocers purchase reluctantly of West
India Sugar, particularly of brown and middling yellow
descriptions, which must again be quoted Gd., and in some
instances is cheaper; good and fine yellow kinds brought
late rates, the supply being very small. The demand
from the refiners has been limited : the sales for
the three days have amounted to only 900 hhds
&c., including 120 hhds Barbadees at auction,
which sold at previous rates ; middling to good
yellow fetched 65s to 66s 6d, fine 67s to 68s, and one
lot low middling 62s 6d per cwt. The stock is
3,467 hhds, &c. larger than at this period in 1838. The
average price, which will appear in to-night's Gazette, is
37s 00, in 1838 it was 34s sid, and in 1837, at this
period, 38s 21c1 per cwt. 120 hhds Barbadoes was de-
clared for Tuesday.
This afternoon, grocers as well as refiners bought very
cautiously, but no further reduction in prices was submit-
ted to; bright yellow sold at 59s 6d to 603, rather greyish
58s to 56s 6d; 3 barrels Barbadoes brought 68s per cwt;
the total sales for the week are only 1,200 hhds and tierces.
REPINED.-Prices have undergone no change for Re-
fined goods, but the grocers have bought only sufficient to
supply their immediate wants ; standard lumps 77s to
776 6d, and brown lumps 74s to 76s per cwt; there
is a fair supply of goods at market. For Treacle
a good demand has prevailed, and 31s Gd has been
currently paid, but the best old have been taken
sparingly at 33s to 34s 6d per ewt. Pieces have secured
A fair sale, especially bright descriptions, and last weeks
rates have been supported. Bastards have sold very slowly,
and lower prices have been submitted to. In Bonded
Crushed Sugar there has been a fair business transacted,
and 345 3d bas been currently given. For Loaves there
are few buyers, but previous rates have been supported.
Treacle sells freely at 13s 3d to 13s 6d. Bastards and
Pieces at 16s to 26s per cwt.
To-day there was not much demand, prices as previously
quoted ; of crushed made from goods refined in bond, there
are buyers at 341, but no general sellers, but for present
shipment 34s 3d to 34s 6d is paid.
Meurtmus.-For good and fine yellow descriptions
there has been a fair demand, and the prices paid are fully
equal to those of this day week, but all other kinds must
be quoted is cheaper, and the sale has been a dull one ; at
auction, 6,100 bags have been offered, good to fine yellow
at 64s to 675, good middling 63s to 63s 6d, middling 62s
to 62s 6d, low dry and soft yellow 57s 6d to 60s, middling
to fine brown 51s 6d to 576, low middling 48s to 495, low
dark brown 43s 6d to 445; the stock is 3,077 bags under
that of last year.
EAST INDIA.-For brown descriptions of Bengal ne de-
mand at present, and the whole of 1,700 bags at public
sale were withdrawn and taken in at lower rates ; for com-
mon white sorts there are few buyers, but coloury qua-
lities continue in demand, and command previous rates :
at auction 600 bags have been put up ; good white fetched
68s 6d, middling to good middling 66s 6d to 675, flue bright
yellow 65s to 65s 6d, damps 64s 6d to 655, washed, &c.
61s 6d to 62s 6d per cwt; for public competition on the
17th, 1,000 bags brown are declared. Manilla has been
inquired after to a fair extent, for shipping as well as for
refining under bond, and by private contract 2,700 bags
have been disposed of at previous rates, viz. good middling
and good brown at 20s to 20s 6d, and fine at 21s per cwt.
Siam has been more sought after, and 2,500 bags have
been disposed of at last week's rates, viz, fair mid white at
25s 6d, good middling and good 26s to 26s 6d per cwt.
For Java previous rates have been maintained, at which
some small parcels have been disposed of privately.
This afternoon, 127 bags Bengal at auction were taken
in at 49s 6d for low damp brown.
FOREIGN-For yellew Havannah previous rates are re-
quired, but the private operations have been very limited ;
white is neglected. Brazil of dry brown and grey quality
is wanted by our refiners, but the short supply has pre-
vented business of moment privately ; in white sorts not
much passing, but former rates rule ; 50 chests very ordi-
nary soft Bahia have been disposed of by private treaty at
22s per cwt.
MOLARSES.-For West India there are few buyers, and
there are sellers of parcels in some cases rather under pre-
vious rates.
Row, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.......We have still to re-
port a dull Market for Rnm ; the purchases in Jamaica,
as well as in Leewards, have been very limited this week,
and are not worth enumerating, but the merchants are not
inclined to press sales at present, the stock in first hands
being light. Brandy has secured a fair sale for home
use, and prices remain firm, but the shippers still buy
sparingly. Geneva has brought previous rates, at which
several purchases hare been made.
TEA.-The market has been very quiet for all kinds of
Tea for several days past, and for cash lower priees have
been submitted to by some parties; Congou of common
quality has been sold at 2s 4d, good and fine 2s 8d a
2s lid, Twankay 2s 81d to 2s 8 d, Hyson fair 3s 3d,
Gunpowder 4s, and Imperial 3s 3d a 3s 10d;
Company's Congous have been disposed of at 2s
2d a 2s 3d, but there are no further sellers under
2s 4d and 2s 5d with a prompt. The principal holders,
however, have refused to sell under last sale, being of opi-
nion that after the prompts are met that are falling
due prices will rally. We are still without advices
from Canton. To-day there was not much passing in
free trade Tea, but holders appear firmer ; in Com-
pany's; Congou a good many operations were made at 2s 4d
for cash, and 2s 5d with a prompt. 1,870 chests, b9B
chests Congou, 40 Souchong, 352 Twankay, 80 chests
Hyson, and 165 chests Young Hyson were offered at
auction, the whole of which were taken in at prices equal
to those established at the auctions last week : there were
buyers of Congou and Hyson id to 2d under the rates of
that period, and of Twankay within id per lb ; one lot
Twankay, however, sold at 2s 100. Good ord Congou
Bohea kind taken in at 23 3d, but mid rather strong 2s Bd,
mid rather strong Pekoe flavour 2s 10d to 3s ; Twankay
but mid brightish leaf 2s 10d; Hyson mid 3s 10d, good
4s Id ; Bohea (2s id duty) 2s 3d; Twankay Skin 2s 3d.
COME.-For all clean qualities of British Plantation
there has been an increased inquiry from the trade;
and by private contract several parcels have been dis-
posed of at improved rates; unclean kinds have
been in better request, and holders have obtained prices
which they could not get last week : at public sale 166
casks 44 barrels have been offered, which sold with anima-
tion, and an advance on the rates of the last auction of 3s,
good and fine ordinary sorts were also is to 2s dearer ;
Jamaica of clean middling and good middling qualsitsy

This afternoon there was a fair demand for all clean
qualities by private contract, and the
was fully supported ; at auction 101 bags Ceylon sold Is
