even less than previously, although there were sellers rather

making purchases for the week 1,480 hhds. and trs. For
all sorts of sugar the market closes with a quiet aspect.

' bro loaves 45s Gd to 50s, double 51s to 52s ; and standard

a larger demand for Refined Sugar for home consumption ;
moderate prices being accepted ; brown lumps selling at

a moderate demand exists for crushed Sugar for exporta-

17s to 18s and clayed 20s 6d to 21s per cwt. To-day Foreign
Sugar attracted little notice for the home or continental
market, and at previous rates, holders are decidedly in-
cluded to sell. None was offered at auction, but a large
parcel of Brazil are declared.
COCOA.-West Indialis held with firmness, and none has
been submitted to auction since last week. There is rather
lore demand privately, yet no rise has taken place ; Tri-

345 6d 'to 38s, good to fine 38s 6d. to 435, and Grenada 30s
to 375. Consumption is favourable, yet stock is 3,000 bags
over the previous season, and prices rather above. Foreign
attracts little notice, but prices ruling moderate, sales aro
not pressed. The value of Bahia is 24s to 25s ; Para
26s Gd to 27s 6d, and Guavquill 34s to 36s per cwt. Stock
yet varies little from last year, and few parcels are at
present expected.
COFFEE.-There is yet a roluctanco to do business in
Native Ceylon for home consumption, and there is no de-
mand from shippers or speculators ; prices in consequence
continue to decline, ruling at 46s to 40$ 6d for good ordi-
dina,ry, at 45s 64 for old import. In Triage and common
Plantation Ceylon, several purchases have again been
made ; low to good ordinary rule at 47s 6d to 48s 6d ; fine
to fine fine ordinary 49s to 53s ; low middling 53s 6d to

45s to 475, Sumatra and Padang 40s to 425, Tellicherry
47s to 70s, and very fine 70s to 745. To-day Mocha coffee
was operated in with reluctance, still merchants refused to
soli at any further decline ; of 23 bales and 1,050 half bales
a small portion only sold at 70s to 763 for mid to good,
cleaned garbled. There is a want of demand for Planta-
tion Ceylon, and a part only of 260 casks 78 brls 104 bags
at public sale found buyers at easier prices, good went at
59s to 635, mid 543 to 51s, low mid 52s 6d to 53s 6d, and
other sorts 49s to 525. For native the market closes with
a dull aspect, good ord of new import at 465.
TEA.-Prices for Congon have scarcely undergone any
variation during the week, still supply is more plentiful of
low to good ord, and purchases have been on a small scale
at 10d to 10i d per lb. The rates obtained for rather
blackish leaf to blackish leaf have been 101 d to is
strolls. to Pekoe kinds is ld to is Bd, superior is 9d to

is ld to is 4d, and other sorts 9d to is. Pouchong met
with little notice, and clean can bo obtained at 7d to 9d.
With green the market has been well supplied, and prices
have slightly given way, still large transactions have
taken place, better kinds being most preferred, and home
dealers are the leading operators. The following is the

TALLOW.—OnIy a moderate demand has been experienced
for Russian on the spot since our last report ; there is no
speculation going on, and holders ;generally being inclined
to realise, prices are further depressed, ruling at 45s 641 to
45s 9d per cwt for fine yellow candle. Purchases are im-
material for delivery, with sellers at 453 3d to 45s 6d for
