PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, com-
puted from the returns made in the week ending March kO,
1849, is 275. 2:4d. per cwt.

The Hamburgh advices notice little business of
importance in the Foreign Exchanges. Money conti •
nued abundant, and Stocks and Railway Shares were
purchased at prices slightly in advance of those pre-
viously quoted. It was reported on 'Change that the
preliminaries of peace with Denmark had been signed,
and that a three months' prolongation of the armistice
had, in consequence, been agreed to. At Copenhagen,
however, on the 17th, the preparations for war were
uurelaxed.
