(From the London New Price Current, April 13.)
SUGAR.—TO-day there was not much disposition
evinced to operate in West India sugar for home-trade
purposEs; still holders are firm, and obtained full rates

for most sorts. The purchases to-day were 530, making
1,335 hhds, &c., for the week, and the market closes
quietly. For public sale on Tuesday 150 bhds Barbadoes
and 3,000 bags Bengal Sugar are declared.
REFINED.—To-day there was less desire evinced to
operate in Refined Goods for home trade purposes; still,
in the value no variation took place. For Bonded
Crushed Sugar the market is in a quiet state at a former
rates.

51AIIIIITIUS.—This-afternoon the market was better
supplied with Mauritius Sugar, and four parcels were
offered at public sale, amounting to 10,614 bags; the
whole, however, sold, and at full rates, but in some
cases the lower sorts went rather cheaper; fine and very
superior yellow realized 40s to 43s Gd. middling and good

On the part of holders there is firmness. East India

is, however, not a brisker sale; but deliveries are exceed-
ing arrivals. A further- advance-"in the value of Honey
is observable. • • • • -
COFFEE.—To.day there was no public sale of Coffee,
and privately little desire was evinced by exporters or
home dealers to do business. The value of Native

tained at a reduction; the stock is also getting larger.
Pimento is held with firmness, and the market is less
freely supplied, but the demand for all purposes
has fallen off. There has • not been much dodge
to do business in black Pepper for home use or export,
yet merchants have confidence. The sepply is falling off.
Sumatra is held for 2}d to 24d per lb. White is held
with firmness at 5d to 8d for ordinary to fine, and the
demand continues to get brisker. For Cassia Lignea
there is a firm market, and the supply is yet yet scanty,

but the supply is small, and prices are firm; Bourbon and
Zanzibar atd to 'id. Bencolen is 3d to is 9d, and

and parcels of Calcutta to arrive realized 28s 6d to 29s
per cent for 5 per cent refraction.
INDIGO.—The market is quiet, exporters as well as
home dealers evincing little disposition to make pur-
chases, still there are not sellers under last quarterly
sales rates. Ttie quantity declared for auction has been
if.crk &Jed to 6,000 chests. Of Spanish the supply is bet-
ter, and as there is not much demand rather lower rates
have been taken.

FRUlT.—There has not been much demand for Rai-
sins; holders ask 403 per cwt for prime Valencia. Cur-
rants have been de-aft-in-with -more readiness, and stiffer
rates are paid. At public sale 140 pkgs Patras were

drawn, but a parcel of 590 pkgs realized 43s to 455.
SPIRITS.—The rates asked for Leeward Island Rum
are Is 4d to is 6d proof, still the sales made have been
small for all purposes. East India has been dealt in with
caution, and prices are on the decline. The value of proof
is is 3d to is aid, and a larger amount is on offer. For
Demerara the market is quiet, and prices rule at Is 10d
to 2s 4d for 28 to 38 per cent. over proof. There are
sellers of low and mid sorts of Jamaica Ram at rather
lower rates, as the supply is abundant, stilt only a
limited home or export demand has been experienced.

realiv,d lull rates. There is a larger stock
of rum than last year by 10,000 pkgs, and home as well
as export deliveries are moderate. Brandy has been

in the value of British made spirit, and the market has a
(Diet aspect.

do business in Tallow, and fine P.Y.C. on the spot
cannot be quoted above 38s 6d. At auction 350 nkga

per cwt. The production is barely equal to

DREADFUL MURDER at THORPE,

NEXT WAINFLEET.
On MotElay afternoon last a murder was committed
here, on Mrs. Ward, the wife of Mr. William Ward, a
small farmer in the village; and what renders the affair
still more shocking is the circumstance that the mut,
exam before the magistrates. We are derer a;,-pears to be her own son, who on the evening ofsaranthe saran day was committed to Spilsby prison, where he
awaits examination
in-
formed that on the morning of the fatal day, the mother
and her son John had some strong words respecting a
young female whom he was wanting to marry; that the
n then left the house, and did not return till after din-
ner, when,
finding his mother asleep in a chair, he took
down a loaded gun, and deliberately shot her in the
bead. Death seems to have been instantaneous, as when
a surgeon, who was promptly sent for, arrived, she was
found quite dead, although still sitting in her chair, in
a position little changed from that in which she had been
sleeping. After the commission of .the dreadful deed,
the unhappy son did not attempt to escape, but allowed
himself to bo taken by the constable before the Rev. T.
H. Rawnsley. of Halton Holgate, by whom he was com-
mitted to Swishy prison. A coroner's inquest was held
on Wednesday.
