sold at 655. Gd. a 695. for mid. and fine. The purchases, in-
eluding the sale, amount to 1,000 hhds. and trs. The price.;
of refined goods have been very firm ; from the grocers o,.ere
has been a good demand, and they have paid 80s. for Lumps
that would pass the standard, and Is. less for these rather
under. In the export qualities there has been Ira little busi-
ness done ; but owing to the Market being (nitremely bare of
goods, the buyers have been compelled to pay 375. Gd. a 38s.
for some small parcels of Double Crashed. Treacle has sold
slowly, and on rather easier terms. Bastards continue neg-
lected. In Dutch Crushed nothing has been done. The
holders demand 345. 6d. a 355.
