SUGAR.-The market having lean
sni:.nrd?iffwerrne,nrtl: fiawnodlisrcaahnles
tily supplied this week with West India Raw Sugars, toge-
ther with a change of the wind, vo
for arrivals, have caused the demand to be extremely mocteraie,
either from the refiners or grocers, the sale barely averaging
300 Mids. daily ; but owing to the great deficiency there will
be in the stock on Tuesday, when compsred with that of last
year, fully to the extent 0(0,000 hhds., &c., holders have been
firm in their demands, and have even succeeded in some in-
stances in obtaining 6d. advance on the prices of this day
week. It is reported that several vessels have arrived off the
coast with Sugars, which are much wanted, and may be daily
expected. To-day the prices of West India Raw Sugars con-
tinue firm, but the demand was again limited, in consequence
of the indifferent show ; not above 500 hhds., &c. were offer-
ing for sale, which, together with the expected supplies, much
checked the demand, not 100 hlids. having been sold to-day ;
there is every prospect, however, that when there is a good
supply at market that a great demand will exist for Sugars,
being much wanted both by the town and country trade ; the
estimated sales this week are 1,000 Mids. and trs. at steady
prices. Refined goods for shipping continue exceedingly
scarce, but there is less demand for them this week, and fine
Crushed may now be purchased at 445. 6d. a 455., or 85s.
6d. a 86s. for Lumps to pass the, standard. The grocery
descriptions fully support the late advance, and there con-
tinues to be a brisk and general demand. For small quanti-
ties of Dutch Crushed Sugar 435. has been paid, but the par-
cels now offering in the market are held for 435. 6d. The
Market this afternoon for grocers and shipping goods is very
dull and lower, fine crushed at 445. 6d., and lumps to pass the
standard 85s. Dutch Crushed Sugar is offered at 435., being
6d. cheaper.
EAST INDIA.-Bengal continues in brisk request, and prices
since this day week have advanced 6d., but owing to the
equalizing the duty still remaining unsettled, holders arc not
free sellers, even at the above advance. At auction 1,100
bags mostly sold, good to fine white 395. a 40s. 6d., mid.
and low white, 375, 6d. a 38s. 6d., damps 375. 6d., 385., and
395. 6d. There is still little doing in any other kind of East
India Sugar, owing still to the scanty supply at Market. The
private sales are parcels of Bengal, taken by exporters, good
and fine white at 395. a 41s. ; 300 bags old Manillas at
325. a 335.
Mauemes.-The prices of Mauritius have been firm this
week, and there has been a considerable business done by
private contract, mostly in second hand parcels. At public
auction 3,419 bags went readily at last sale's rates, low brown
at 535. a 595. ; middling and good brown 60s. a 625. 6d. ;
low to good yellow 635. a 67s 6d.
There is less doing in Mauritius Sugars this afternoon, but
the prices keep firm ; 5,649 bags offered at public sales, chiefly
a refining parcel ; a large portion was bought in ;_ the rest sold
heavily at former rates, brown, 61s. ; mid. to good grey, 635. a
665. 6d.
FOREIGN.-All kinds of Foreign Sugars have been much
inquired after, but owing to there being few now in the Mar-
ket, and those held for much higher prices than were accepted
last week, less business has been done. At auction 390 boxes
yellow Havannah offered, 220 of which were good, strong, and
dry sound taken in at 425. a 435. 6d., being 2s. a 3s. above
the previous rates of the Market, the remainder was damaged
and went at 335. a 375. 6d. ; 60 packages Bahia also taken in
at advanced rates, mid. and good white 375. a 375. 6d. ; for a
parcel of mid white Havannah 535. has been offered and re-
fused. 140 chests of brown Bahia sold by private contract at
295. and 31s. 6d. ; small parcels of Havannah at 51s. a 535.
for good white, and 395. a 40s. for•yellows ; new white Rios
at 40s. At auction this afternoon, 20 packages Colombian
Sugars, forming no criterion to Market prices, sold fine fine
3 allow to fine white 395. a 475. ; 10 chests 11 barrels Bahia
taken in at high prices, ord. white 345. a 355., brown 295.
MOLASSES.-West India continue in good request, and fully
last week's rates have been obtained. Demerara of good old
quality sold at 275., new 295. a 295. 6d. This afternoon
several parcels of West India, received coastwise, sold at 28s.
for Trinidad, and 30s. for Antiguas.
TEA.-The prices are steady, but there is little demand,
owing to the near approach of the sales. The sales of Tea for
next week contain 42,000 packages, and they command the
chief attention of the trade : the question about an extension
of time for paying up the Is. 6d. duty is not yet settled, though
it is expected that it will be granted.
CQFFEE.-There has again been a considerable business
done in the British Plantation Coffee Market, partly on spe-
culation, and the remainder for actual consumption, and the
prices since this day week 2s. higher, particularly for the su-
perior descriptions ; the public sales have consisted of 340
casks and barrels, the most part Jamaica, the remainder De-
merara, all the former sold with much spirit ; Jamaica mid. at
925. 6d. and 945. 6d., fine fine ord., 90s. and 915., good to
fine ord., 83s. 6d. and 875., ord. 775. and 80s. In addition
to the public sales, large parcels have changed hands by pri-
vate contract at the above advance-not a single arrival this
week. There is little variation in the prices of East India ;
the Market still keeps dull, particularly for the sorts suitable
for the grocers ; at auction 108 bales Mocha taken in, even
clean garbled long berry at 765. 6d. and 795. 6d. ; 129 bags
Batavia also at auction sold at 483. 6d. and 495. for clean
yellowish broken quality, but have since been disposed of by
private contract at 2s. advance on those prices; Ceylon is
offering at 525. 6d. and 535., at which prices some small par-
cels were disposed of privately for good quality. There was
a considerable business done in the Foreign Market this week,
at extreme rates ; 5,000 bags,Brazil sold by private contract
at 525. and 535. for dingy, even good ord. to coloury good
ord. ; also a parcel of St. Domingo at 545., with some colour,
but mixed ; at auction 495 bags of the latter, imported from
New York, went at 51s. and 535. for mixed pale good ord.
quality. The Fairy Queen and the Morley have arrived at
the Cape of Good Hope, and one vessel at St. Helena, all
from Ceylon, with Coffee, bound to London, subject to the
low duty of 6d. There is a better demand for Mocha this
day, 255 bales at auction went off briskly at an advance of Is.,
and sold at 625. and 635. 6d. for good ord. ungarbled, ord.,
58s. 6d. and 60s. 6d. ; 15 casks Jamaica taken in at full
prices, mid., 955. ; 1 186 bags Brazil, mostly damaged, sound
,
good ord., a little coloury, taken in at 525. and 535., held for
the latter price, damaged went at 463. 6d. and 525. The
trade being supplied for the present with Plantation Coffee,
and large arrivals being expected daily, there was less demand
by private contract this afternoon, but the late advance in
prices are fully maintained.
RUM, BRANDY. AND HoLLANns.-In Rum a considerable
business would have again been done this week had there been
a sufficient quantity at market, but owing to the scanty supply,
the sales have necessarily been limited, and confined to about
100 puns. Jamaica, and 120 puns. Leewards, at fully
previous rates, the former 30 per cent. over ; foul, 3s. 9d., and
bright same strength 3s. 10d., and some parcels of fine

neglected. English, Scotch, and Irish Spirits have again risen

there is still little doing, at auction 800 bags sold at 31c1. a

holders have refused to sell, the private sales arc 1,200 bags,
mostly good half heavy Malabar, at 44d., the remainder Su-
matra at 43d. to 44-d. for light and half 'heavy. West India Gin-

to mid., steady prices. The public sale of 522 bags of Pepper
to-day mostly sold at stiffer prices, good Malabar 4id to 41.,
a few lots taken at sd. 200 bales of Cinnamon just arrived
per Mary Anne, will be offered on the 20th of June.
Tobacco.-The holders of Tobacco 'are sellers at easier
rates, but at present nothing has been ‘clone for shipping, and
the home trade have bought only small quantities, just suffi-
cient for their immedate use. At auction Havannah Cigars
taken in at 7s. 3d. to 10s. Sheroots and Havannah leaf To-
bacco also brought in, no bidders, Columbian leaf Tobacco

day it was down to 41s. 6d., on Wednesday up to 435., and

been the case for some weeks past, the purchases since this day

heavy state of the Market. At Liverpool the Market is dull and
drooping.

1,000 bales of the latter arrived. The Italian raw market is
quiet, owing to the continued large arrivals of Italian thrown.
Prices are-not so good as they were last week.

did last week have much checked the demand, there being
ready buyers at former rates.

very quiet, the season being at an end. The reduced offers
made for English Wools have been rejected.
