(Prom the London New Price Current of this day.)
a •
SUGAII.—To-day only a moderate home trade demand
was experienced for West India sugar, supply was plenti-
ful, and in some cases the fates taken were rather under
those of Friday. At auction 211 hhds 25 tcs Barbadoes
went at 6d per cwt decline ' • low yellow selling 33i
t 9 34s 6d, and mid to fine 35s to 38s 6d ; 150 hhds Deme-

chased with caution for home trade purposes, brown lumps
at 455, and low to fine grocery 45s Gd to 48s per cwt.
There is further increase of supply. For Mauritius sugar
the demand was limited.

mand, and an advance of 6d to is per cwt. took place. At
auction 1034 bags sold at 30s to 33s 6d for grey, and at 34s
to 38s for rod.

MoLAssEs.—To-day the market was inactive, and at
auction 332 puncheons Cuba were taken in at 18s per cwt.
COFFEE.—The coffee market this afternoon presented a
dull aspect. There was no public sale, and privately
operations were trifling, both for shipping and home con-
sumption ' • prices are, however, nearly the same as last
week. Native Ceylon is 46s to 47s for new import, good
to fine plantation 62s to 765, and other sorts 52s to 61.8
per cwt.
TEA.—To-day there was a reluCtance to operate in China
tea, and purchases were easily made in both black and
green at previous terms, supply keeping on the increase.
A public sale of 1,729 packages Asam, however, went with
spirit at tt'iise of ld to 2d per pound—Congou sold at is
bid to is 10d, Souchong 2s I:id to 2s 6d, Orange Pekoe 2s
2d to 3s op, and Flowery Pekoe 48 2d to 4s 6d per pound.
SPIRITS.—To-day many purchases were made in rum ;
Demerara realised 2s. 4d to 2s 9d for 32 to 42 per cent, over
proof, Jamaica 2s 10d to 48 Gd, Leeward Island 18 10d
proof, and East India is 9d proof. Brandy sells more
freely and rates are better ; cognac, best brands of
the vintage of 1851, realised 7s ld to 7s 3d per gallon.
COCHINEAL.— To-day the demand was not better, still
lower rates are rejected. Of 170 bags at auction about
one-half sold; Teneriffee black at 4s 4d to 4s sd, silvers 45
to 4s 2d ; Honduras Mexican 3s 84 to 3s 10d, and ord black
4s to 4s 14 per lb.
OlLS.—There are still many buyers of seal, and the
rates paid for pale are 331 lOs to 331 15s, and other sorts
301 lOs to 331 per tun ; the market presents a firm ap-
pearance. Cod is in larger request, and 33/ 10s to 331 15s
is now the value. _ _ _

TALLOW.—A more active demand prevails for Russian
on the spot, and there is an advance—fine yellow candle
selling at 47s 6d to 47s 9d per cwt.
