( From the London New Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAR. —The West India Market continues to present a
very tranquil appearance ; from the refiners the demand has
been extremely limited. and the grocers have purchased with
much caution, taking only sufficient to supply their immediate
wants ; the daily sales have not exceetled 400 hhds and trs,
and owing to the great accumulation in the stock importers
continue to lose confidence in the article, for they have again
submitted to a reduction of Is to Is 6d for the low and mid

descriptions ; the supply of fine qualities, however, being
small, has enabled the merchants to obtain previous rates ;
ord and good brown may now be bought at 48s to 50s 6d,
low and mid yellow 51s to 54s 6d, good 55s to 58s, fine
and very fine 59s to 63s ; of Barbadoes none has been offered
at auction, but 130 hhds. will be brought forward on Tuesday.
This afternoon the importers having submitted to a further
reduction of 6d for brown and mid yellow sorts, caused the
buyers to come forward more freely, and 900 hhds and trs
were disposed of, making the sales for the week 2,100 hhds and
trs. ; 20 hhds Trinidad at public sale were bought in at easy
prices, mid bright yellow at 5(13.
The Refined trade has again been affected, by the dull and
drooping state of the market for the raw material. The
demand from the grocers has been limited for all descriptions,
although a reduction on former rates of Is has been submitted
to • Lumps in small quantities passing the standard have been
sold at 75s to 75s 6d, and rather under 73s 6d to 745, even at
which the buyers have taken only sufficient to supply their im
mediate wants, anticipating a further fall in prices. For ex-
port there are few orders here, and the transactions for that
purpose have been confined to some small parcels of double
Crushed at 33s 6d a 33s 9d, which is 6d under the former rates;
at the former figure these are generally sellers.
MAURITIUS.—The operations have again been limited in
this article, buyers continuing to take only sufficient to supply
their immediate wants ; good descriptions, however, have
supported previous rates, the supply being still short, but low
and mid sorts are 6d cheaper ; the purchases have been con-
fined to the public sales of 6,367 bags, one of 4,425 bags took
place on Wednesday, and went heavily at the decline noticed
above ; very low and fair brown sold at 41s 6d to 45s ; low
middling grey, 50s to 51s ; good yellow, nearly fine, 59s 6d ;
the other sale occurred yesterday, and went with more spirit,
but no further reduction was submitted to ; ordinary yellow
brought 51 s 6d ; middling, 535; good, 57s 6d ; fine, 61s 6d
to 62s ; ordinary dark brown, 45s ; a shade better, 465.
EAST INDIA. —The market for export descriptions has again
been very inactive, and parcels are offering at rather low
prices, but without finding buyers. In Siam there has been
nothing done, either by public sale or private contract ; and
for Manilla there has also been no demand. Bengal has
been taken sparingly for home consumption by private treaty,
and none has been offered at public sale, but former prices
have been supported; 176 casks low heavy brown at auction
imported from Singapore sold at 16s to I6s 6d per cwt. For
auction on Tuesday 1,400 bags Bengal are declared.
