COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—The market has been good for most descrip-
tions. Refined is scarce, but with less demand. Brown is
very- firm at 455, and low to fine grocery at 453 to 51s. The
advanced price asked for West Idia has rather checked
business, and the parcels sold have realised very full prices.
Barbadoes went at 34s to 39s for low to fine, being is ad-
vanced. St. Lucia found buyers at 35s 6d to 37s for good
and fine, at 34s to 35s for mid, and at 32s 6d to 34s per

been sold at 30s to 31s, and at 31s 6d to 34s for low to good

low, at 398 to 393 Gd for good white Benares, and at 38s to
38s 6d. Cossipore sold at 41s to 41s 6d for moist grainy,

full values. Privately, white Havannah realised 27s to
28s 6d, and 40s Gd per cwt. for florettes for home refining.
Bahia went at former prices—viz., 35s to 37s 6d for low to
raid white, and 378 to 38s for mid white. Penang, at
auction, brought enhanced rates, being required for refining
purposes, and low to fine brown realised 29s 6d to 33s 6d,
ow to good mid yellow 33s Gd to 35s 6d, and soft greyish
white 36s to 36s Gd per cwt. There is less inquiry for re-
fined, but being scarce, 45s have been obtained for brown,
and 45s to 51s for low to fine grocery.
COFFEE.--The market has been rather quieter, but with
fair support to the quotations. Native Ceylon has been
sold at 50s for good, and the latost prices obtained for
plantation at auction have been 57s 6d to 68s for mid, and
good mid Ns for small grain. 51s to 54s for triage, and 31s
for blacks. Peaberry has realised 61s to 625. Jamaica was
taken in at 80s to 84s for good. A cargo of Rio for a near
port was purchased at 50s 6d, about 3,000 bags, the
quality being good fresh. Mocha realised 80s to 81s 6d for
fine long berry.
COCOA.—Trinidad has been sold at 37s for good dark red,
being full prices. Bahia has been sold at 275.
RlM—There has been an active demand, at fuller rates,
although some slight falling off is observable at present.
Good white has realised 16s Gd, and mid white 14s 6d for
Bengal.

SPlCES.—Nutmegs have declined id to 64 per lb on the
small and mid, and 4d to 6d on the good and fine descrip-
tions. Brown Singapore 2s 3d to 4s 14. Mace is fully 14
per lb lower, mid and good and dark pale having been sold
at 2s 6d to 2s Bd. Black pepper has been in good demand
at full prices. Mid grey to good black sifted Singapore
44d. to 4d., and mid to good brown Penang 4id. to .Rd.

Much doing. Refraction 11 per cent. has been sold at
318 6d per cwt.
COTTON. -There has been a quiet market, but at steady
Pnces. At auction 700 bales were offered, and about half
that sold at 344 to 44d. for Surat.
ittlM.—The price is up 24. per gallon, proof Leewards
having been sold at 2s. 104. to 3s.
, TEA.—The public sales went off irregularly, about one-
Laird finding buyers.
TALLOW.—P..k.C. had declined to 61s. 6d. on the snot.
GREEN FRIIIT.—The severe weather has operated against
"les, and this, with the combination of the buyers to re-
sist lot money at public sales, has prevented business, and
added to the depression. Of two cargoes oranges from
St. Michael, offered by Keeling and Hunt at public sale,
one was withdrawn from the cause assigned above; the
second went at a reduction of 3s per box. Other kinds
of fruit without alteration, and it is to be hoped in a few
USYs the market will resume a more favourable position.
