COLONIAL MARKETS.

A better feeling to purchase continues to prevail, particularly for
Sugar; B.P. sells to-day rather briskly, at prices is, per cwt. higher
than last week; lowest ,535., middling 58s. to 595., best 635. to 655.
The stock of B.P. is 11,836 hhds. and trcs., being 1,948 more than it
was at this tine lait year. We have no public sales of raw Sugar to.
day, but the whole market is firm, and prices very full. We had some
small sales of Ceylon, East India, Jamaica, and Berbice Coffee to-day ;
but they were not of sufficient magnitude to test the market. Much
about former prices ruled. Ceylon is 80s. for ord., mid. Jamaica 105 s.
The stock of B.P. Coffee is 1,017 casks 875 brls. and bags; Ceylon 8,446
bags ; Mocha, 4,038 bales ; Brazil, 38,064 bags. Tea is brisk and
prices are looking up. Refined Sugar is brisk and on the advance;
Lumps to pass are 76s- 6d. to 775. id. Spices are flat, and to-day we
had sou- e very small sales of Pepper, Ginger, &c., which went at former
prices. The imports are light owing to easterly winds. The business
advertised for to-morrow is 700 boxes yellow Havannah Sugar (New
crod) ; 200 bags Bengal; 1,300 boxes yellow Havannah ; 500 bags
Havannah Coffee; and 275 barrels Porto Rico. The rest are Drug sales.
