SUGAR. —The market for West India Muecovatines has I.7e-
sented a lively appearance since Tuesday last, from the
Grocers there has t;een a brisk demand for brown and yellow
descriptions, the former and the Middling descriptions of the
latter have brought an advance of 6d per estt. good and fine
quiltio have maintained their former currency, but no further
rise can at present be quoted. The Refiners have come for-
ward more freely, and several large purchases have been made
at prices rather above those of this day week for the lower
kinds; on Wednesday the quantity sold reached 700, on
Thursday 1,500, and on Friday 1,000, making the purchases
for the three days 3,200 hhds and trcs, besides 74 hhds Barbadoes
at public sale sold at its former currency, low to mid. at 53s a
61s 6d. There has been only one small arrival since last
Tuesday. Prices are now nearly 7s lower than they were at
this period in 1837.
This afternoon there was much life in the market ; from
both grocers and refiners there was a brisk demand for brown
as well as for yellow descriptions; the private purchases
amounted to 1,500 hhds and trs at prices 6d above those
of Friday. The public sales of Barbadoes, consisting of
222 hhds 23 trs went off with animation ; fine descriptions
brought an advance of is ; the lower sorts sold at full prices,
fine -went at 65s to 66s and 66s 6d, low mid to good 58s 6d to

for both common and the better descriptions, and rather
