THE WEEK,

Our daily reports have shown the little business that has ben done
in these markets, and the great uniformity of prices this week with last.
Wo snake no variation in any kind of Raw or Refined Sugar, Coffee,
Tea, Spices, Cotton, Cocoa, &c. Rum may be regarded as having ad.
vanced Id. per gallon and for East India Rice more money has been
a:ked. Cotton and Indigo remain unvaried. The produce of the
Canadas has participated in the general dullness which pervades all the
other markets. Irkorts of ail kinds have generally been slender, and
at present we have but little FAA or West India produce.

(From the London New Price Current, Friday, Feb. 23d.)
SUGAR. —The West India Raw Market on Tuesday ex-
hibited more animation than it has for some time past. Bar-

sold at 095., mid. from the same colony at 625., and good
