Suoas.-There has been a better disposition evinced on the part of
the buyers to purchase West India Muscovadea, and a very good demand
has been experienced for all descriptions, for both the scale and refill-
ing; fully previous rates have been supported for yellow sorts at and
under 575., but those which have been sold above that price are 6d. to
Is. dearer this than they were last week ; fine qualities are still very
scarce. This afternoon there was a very good demand for good and fine
yellow descriptions, and rather higher prices were again obtained ; low
and mid. sorts were in steady request at fully former rates; at public
sale 126 hhds. Barbadoes sold with animation at an advance on the prices
of the last sale of Is., fine went at 665., good 645. to 645. 61, low and
mid. 60s. to 635. Gd.,one lot very ord. 595. ; the purchases for the week,
including the Barbadoes, amount to 2,900 hhds. and trs. The rates
previously established for Refined goods have been fully supported, and
for home consumption there has been a brisk demand, particularly for
the lower descriptions. This afternoon the grocers were again free
buyers, and prices are Is. higher; 765. paid for Lumps rather under,
and 775. passing the standard ; several sales have been ma.te in Tittlers

higher prices, brown sold at 525. 6d. to 545. 6d., low mid. yellow 555.

this period.
COFFEE.-Being still without arrivals of British Plantation, the quan-
tity at market offering for sale is extremely limited, but at the same time
the Grocers evinced little disposition to purchase at present rates, and
have again taken only just sufficient to meet their immediate wants, but
they have been compelled to pay former prices for the trifling quantity
which has changed hands privately. At auction only 54 casks have
been offered, which sold at the full valuations. Jamica mid, at 105 s. St.

black and green descriptions on the rates of late public sales. At Li-
verpool the demand was very languid at the public sales, but since
they have concluded the transactions have been extensive.
