(From the New London Price Current of last night.)
SUGAR.—The British plantation Sugar Market has been
again scantily supplied, but owing to the stiff prices de-
manded by the present holders, and the large arrivals off the
coast, have caused the demand from the grocers and refiners to
be extremely moderate at fully the quotations which ruled last
week ; about 14 vessels have arrived at the out-ports, and are
waiting for a favourable wind to get up ; but still in conse-
quence of the great deficiency in the stock, which on Tuesday
next will be nearly 8,000 hhds. and trs. under that of last
year, and the great demand that will spring up shortly for
Sugar, the refiners and grocers both in town and country hold-
ing no stock, cause holders to entertain a favourable opinion of
the article ; the quantity disposed of daily this week has not
averaged 200 hhds. and trs. ; the deliveries from the Docks
continue to exceed those of ast year. A public sale of 130
casks new Barbadoes is advertised for Wednesday. The sales
this week arc Demerara, middling and good for the scale, 635.
a 665. ; browns, 61s. 6d. a 625. 6d. ; Jamaicas and Antiguas,
good and fine, 675. a 68s. ; middling, 635. 6d. a 665. ; browns,
61s. 6d. a 635. ; a small parcel of fine Jamaicas sold at
70s. The quantity on show this day of West In-
dia Raw Sugar was under 500 hhds. and trs. ; the
Market is still quiet, but the prices firm. The
estimated sales for the week are 700 hhds. and trs., at
the prices of this day week. The Market closed this afternoon
for the Whitsun Holidays until Wednesday next. The Re-
fined Market for grocery and shipping goods has been very
heavy during the week, and although there are few goods to
be had, prices have given 6d. a Is. for the export descriptions;
some small rarcels of fine Crushed sold at 435. 6d. a 445., and
84s. 6d. a 85s. long price for Lumps to pass the standard ;
Dutch Crushed Sugar is held for 435. 6d. The Market keeps
quiet, fine Crushed offered at 445. ; Lumps to pass the
standard sold at 85s. for packing.
MAURITIUS.—There was a heavy Market for Mauritius
Sugar in the early part of the week, and of 3,062 bags offered
at public sale only half was disposed of at a reduction on former
rates of 6d., particularly for the fine qualities, low to good
brown at 525. 6d. a 595. 6d, low to fine yellow 625. a 675. 6d.,
but since then there has been a good deal done by private con-
tract, mostly by the grocers, at prices a shade above those of
the sale. The stock in the Docks will on Tuesday next be
above 40,000 bags less than it was last year.
_ _

EAST liinia.LThere have been no public sales, and the
want of supplies still prevents much busiuess from being done
by private contract; the prices continue gradually to improve.
The only sales are some parcels of Bengal at 375. a 38s. for
mid white, and 365. a 375. for damps.
FOREIGN.-There having been no arrivals this week, and the
few inferior descriptions of Foreign Sugars at Market being
held for extreme rates, scarcely any thing has been done, but
the enquiries have again been considerable, and should here
be any arrivals of strong descriptions they would be eagerly
purchased if offered at reasonable prices ; for some few small
parcels of yellow Havannah now offering in the Market 40s. is
asked for old of ord. quality, and 425. for good new ; and 435.
for strong white Brazils.
MOLASSES.-The prices of West India remain firm, but
there is not quite so much doing ; sales of good new Demerara
at 295. a 30s. mid. 28s. 6d., inferior of old quality at 265. 6d.
a 275. ; good old Trinidad 28s. 6d. a 295.
COFFEE.-The British Plantation Coffee Market has be-
come quiet, the speculative demand having completely subsided,
and owing to the large parcels arrived in the river and ex-
pected off the coast, the grocers have purchased sparingly,
and the prices since this day week have given way Is. ; the
public sales have contained 152 casks 4 barrels and 168 bags ;
100 bags of the above consisted of fine fine ord. unclean De-
merara, and was taken in at sls. ; the remainder was Jamaica,
50 casks of which were bought in, the remainder sold slowly at
the above decline, mid. at 91s. a 925., good and fine ord. 84s.
a 88s. 6d., low ord. unclean 755. a 775. 6d., triage and broken
40s. a 71s. ; There has been rather more doing in the East
India Market at fully the prices of last week ; some small par-
cels of Ceylon taken by the grocers at 525. a 535. for good
quality, offers of 51s. made by the shippers have been refused ;
parcels of Semarang disposed of at 48s. for exportation ; Mo-
cha has been in good request by the grocers and shippers at
late prices ; Mysore has been sold in quantities for exporta-
tion at 635. a 675. The Foreign Market has become quiet,
but the prices are firmly maintained ; small parcels of good
ord. coloury Brazil sold by private contract at 525. 535. and
545„ and 3,992 bags at auction, nearly all damaged and musty,
sold as follows-good ord. sound coloury but mixed 525. 6d. a,
535., sea damaged 475. a 515., musty even good ord. 50s. a
525. 6d. ; for a floating cargo of 3,000 bags, per the Urania,
545. has been offered and refused. There were no public or
private sales this day of Coffee.
COCOA.-The Markets for Plantation and Brazil Cocoa are
both quiet. A government contract for 30 to 40 tons is ad-
vertised.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been a good
demand for Rum, but mostly in seeond-hand parcels, at fully
the prices previously quoted ; the small quantity offering for
sale, particularly of Jamaicas, still prevents considerable pur-
chases. Brandy has become dull, owing to the warm weather
and the prospect of a heavy importation. Parcels of fine
Geneva are still offering at ls. 11d. Raw Spirits firm at last
week's rates, and a good deal continues to be done. A govern-
ment contract fur 75,000 gallons of Rum is announced, to be
delivered at proof strength, half in three weeks and the re-
mainder in three weeks afterwards. The government con-
tract has had no effect upon the Market ; few Rums in first
hands.
RlCE.—There has been a brisk demand for East India this
week, at full former rates ; 3,000 bags Bengal sold for exporta-
tion at 12s. 6d. to 13s. 6d. for ordinary an middling quality.
In Carolina there is not so much doing, but prices remain
steady.
LAC DYE.—Prices are not higher this week, but the de-
mand continues brisk.
TALLOW.—The arrival of ten vessels from St. Petersburg,
which were frozen in during the winter, and having on board
4,500 casks, has much checked the demand for parcels on the
spot, and prices are, not so good as they were last week ; sales
of Petersburg Yellow Candle made at 435. 3d. a 435. 6d.
There continues to be little disposition shown to purchase for
forward delivery, but the holders still continue not to be an-
xious to sell at the present quotations. There was a steady
demand this afternoon for Tallow on the spot at 435. 3d. a
435. 6d. For delivery nothing doing.
PROVISIONS,—The great demand for Lard has again caused
prices to advance ls. to 2s. ; 68s. paid for prime Waterford
landed. The sales in Bacon have been extensive, and prices
have risen several shillings, 525. to 545. paid for prime small
Waterford landed, and 555. to 565. on board, deliverable at the
end of this month, and in June. Butter in Ireland keeps up
in price, Limerick being 103 s. and Waterford 955. to 100 s.
There is a steady demand here at about late rates, but we arc
still without arrivals of the new make, owing to the low prices
of Dutch, and the plentiful supplies of the same. In the Fo-
reign market there has been little done, but prices have not
given way. The English and Irish Ham trade has been ex-
tremely brisk this week. Extensive sales have been made in
both English and Foreign Cheeses ; supplies small and stock
on hand light. There is nothing doing in India Beef or Pork
beingnn board, the season at an end. The demand from the
home trade is steady. Extensive parcels of Hams and Lard
have been shipped this week to the West Indies and South
America.
METALS.—Extensive sales of Spelter have been made, and
prices have advanced to 211. ; Banca Tin has been sold at
1155., straights at 112 s. 6d., and English has advanced ss.
per cwt. In English Copper there has been a great advance
in the prices.
Su-K.—The arrivals of East India have been large this week.
the sales have been again moderate, but the prices have under
•
gone no change.
NITRATE OF SODA.—Tile holders are firm in asking 20s. 6(
a 215., but there has been little demand.
TEA.—The sales since the first day hac;e proceeded vv

considerable briskness, all low descriptions selling at an ad-
vance of I sd. per lb., the fine qualities at fully the prices of
the first day ; the fine Congous by the Alexander Baring, taken
in at the early part of the sale have been since sold at the
buying prices ; up to last evening about seven-eights of the
sale been disposed of. The question as regards the time when
the 2s. Id. per lb. duty on Bohea Tea is to comp into operation,
is still unsettled, but there is everyFrospect that the government
