BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE COLONIAL MARKETS DURING

THE WEEK,

There has been very little business done during the past week, as out
daily reports have shown. Not above 1,000 Mids., or thereabouts., of
B.P. Sugar sold. Prices cf all kinds of Raw Sugar have un,'crion-tio
variation from those of List week. Refined unvaried. In Coffee the on'y
kinds altered are Ceylon and Mocha, bath of which may be quoted
Is. to 2s. higher. Spices firm, but not advanced; this same remark is
applicable to Ruin and Ricc.. No alteration in Indigo or Cotton. Ca.
nadian produce has been stationary all week. Tea has been lively, and
rather advancing. The imports have been very slenie-, and the deLvc_
ries at the Customs but small. We have but little business at present
advertised for next week.

665. 6d. to 675. 6d., good 655. 6d. to 665. Jamaica Sugars of

which is 25,130 less than last year (including the East India Dock).
The grocers have purchased sparingly of Refined goods; but the
supply being still very short, former .rates have been well maintained ;
Lumps rather under the srandard have yielded 795., and those passing
80s. to 81s. ; export descriptions are still held firmly, but the transac.
tions have been limite.l, and confined to a few small parcels of double
Crushed at 395.

MAURITIUS.—The buyers have purchased sparingly by private treaty;
6,2.50 bags, the last of the old crop remaining unsold, have been offered
at auction ; part of these had been bought in from sales about six and
eight weeks previously, and upon the prices of Tuesday there was a re-
duction of Is. Gd. to 2s. 6d. ; for the remainder full prices of the more recent
sales were paid frr those sorts under 635. 6d., but above this price there
was a decline of about 6d., and a good many lots were again bought in,
