( From the London New Price Current of Yesterday)

SUGAR.-An improvement has occurred in the home
trade demand for Colonial, and a less quantity having been
brought forward. • prices have assumed a firmer aspect.
To day the rates Obtained for West India Sugar were equal
to last Friday, but the home treacle demand was small.

hhds crystalized Barbadoes, a part only of which found
buyers at 358 6d. to 39s per cwt. For the week total ope•
rations are 1,670 hhds and trcs.

double 50s to 51s 6d ; Hambro loaves 46s to 50s, double
51s to 535, and standard lumps 46s 6d per cwt. To-day
there was only a limited business concluded in refined
sugar for home trade purposes.
MAIIRITIIIS.-Several parcels have been sold privately
at full previous terms, indeed 6d per cwt. advance has been
obtained for brown. At auction 9,356 bags found pur-

Fine yellow went at 37's to 38s 6d, mid to good 35s to 36s
6d, ord 34s to 34s 6d, mid to fine brown 31s to 345, ord

FOREIGN.-At the continental markets the currency is
firm for raw sugar, although only a moderate business is
doing, but supply does not increase. For floating cargoes
there is an increasing demand, chiefly for the -United King-

lower, ruling for Bahia at 24s to 255, Para 26s 6d to 27s 6d,
and Guayaquill 34s to 36s per cwt. Stock is rather under
