(From the London'New Price Current of this cloy.)
SUGAR.— There having been a more plentiful supply of
colonial, prices have declined for nearly every description,
still operations by home dealers are important, they hold-
ing light stocks, and consumption being satisfactory. For
public sale on Thursday 90 hhds 50 barrels Demerara
crystalised; 750 baskets Jan.,,- and 2,000 bags Bengal
sugar are declrred. To-day- Wet India sugar met with
little attention from grocer Ur refiners whilst in some
cases the rates taken are 6d, per cwt. under Friday, there
being rather a larger arnowit on offer. The auctions of 144
hhds'l4 tierces and 50 bags crystalised Demerara went at
rather lower terms ; brown at 33s 6d to 35s 6d, ordinary to
good greyish 368 to 39s 6d, and one lot fine 43s per cwt.
Total purchases were 258 hhds., &c. There was no auction
of Barbadoes.
REFINED.—Prices for brown lumps rule at 45s 6d to 465;

52s ; Hambro' loaves, 47s to 51s ; double, 52s to 54s ; and
standard lumps, 47s per cwt. For delivery there are few
buyers at these terms, and some buyers are disposed to sell.
Wet lumps are yet much in demand ; low to mid at 4256 d
to 43s 6d, and better sorts 44s to 455. To-day home dealers
were desirous to operate in refined sugar, and, supply
keeping scanty, stiff rates were obtained—brown lumps
selling at 465, and low to fine grocery 46s 6d to 508.
Sreacle is dearer, and selling at 17s 6d to 19s. Crushed
sugar is much wanted by expoters, at former terms, with
few sellers.

operate in Mauritius sugar, and rather lower rates
were taken. Of 6,500 bags at auction, only 3,500
found buyers ; mid to good brown at 32s to 34s 6d, ord to
good yellow 35s to 37s 6d, and refining 33s to 37s per cwt.

grocery yellow 38s to 395, ord to good 34s to 37s 6d, and
soft yellow from 29s 9d to 335. To-day Madras sugar was
less in request, and supply being plentiful, prices declined
64 to is per cwt. Of 16,000 bags at auction not above
6,000 found buyers ; ord to good grainy white at 398 to
4O 6d, good to fine grocery yellow 36s to 38s 6d, low to
