SUGAR.-The importers of West India Muscovadoes having
submitted to a further reduction on former prices of Is. 6d. to

purchase more freely, and the transactions have been on a
more extended scale this than has been the case for several
weeks past, but still at present the market has not been active,
grocers and refiners buying only sufficient to supply their pr e-

some from other favourite colonies up to 60s.

ness to a fair extent was transacted ; the refiners are the prin-
cipal buyers, and the prices of yesterday were fully Int"-
tained ; the sales for the week amount to 1,600 hhds.
The grocers have purchased very sparingly of Refined goods,
and a reduction on former rates of 2s. a 3s. for common and
