(From the London New Price Current, April 10.)
SIICAR.—To-day the Raw Sugar market was closed
on account of the holidays; but business will be resumed
to-morrow. For public sale this week 150 hhds Barba-
does, 4,000 bags Bengal, 1,000 bags of Mauritius, and
1,700 chests yellow Havannah are declared.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in good de.
nand for home trade purposes, and it was difficult to pur-
chase brown grocery Lumps under 51s per cwt. Boaded
Crushed Sugar is held for 30s to 31s, but few buyers are
to be met with.

MAIIRITIUS.—Further parcels have been imported,
still holders are firm, and the rates obtained are full
equal to those current on this day week; purchases to a
fair extent have been made for both the pan and scale
by private treaty. For low to fine brown the value is
from 33s to 36s 6d, yellow 37s to 425, and grey 37s to
40s per cwt. None has been submitted to public sale,
but some parcels are declared, consisting for the most
part of better descriptions of yellow. Deliveries continue
of a satisfactory nature for home consumption.
EAST INDlA.—Previous rates are well supported for
all descriptions of Bengal Sugar, and there is only a
limited supply at market. y private treaty several
purchases have been made. Benares, good and fine
white, realised 41s 6d to 435, low and middling 40s to
41s, soft yellow 33s to 395, brown 30s to 325, strong
yellow 37s to 44s 6d, brown 33s to 365,
and strung white 45s to 48s. Imports are
getting upon a larger scale, but as home
fall off, the stock is not much heavier than at thin time
in the former year. In Madras a good business has
been concluded, and prices are fully as high as on this
day week ; there is also not a larger amount on offer.
Soft brown is quoted at from 30s to 32s 6d, yellow 33s
to 375, and strong ditto 38s to 44s per cwt. For Penang
there is a fair sale, and former rates are well kept up.
FOREIGN.—To•day there was only a limited demand
for Foreign Sugar for export, and difficulty was expe-
rienced in supporting prices.
COFFEE.—With West India the market is still scantily
supplied with all sorts; prices are, in consequence, kept
up, but the home trade operate with caution, and a
reduction is expected to take place shortly ; arri-
vals of the new crop are near at hand. Prices above those
current for Ceyl,n, excepting for ordinary sorts. There
is not much difference in the stock as compared with
this time last year, but deliveries are larger, and imports
exhibit a falling off. The market has an unfavour-
able appearance for East India Coffee subject to
the lower rate of duty, and export kinds are not
so much wanted ; the supply is also more plentiful
For Native Ceylon only a limited demand has been ex-
perienced for home consumption, and there are few ex•
port buyers. Prices are moderate, and rule at 32s to
33s 6d, and there is a fair amount on offer.
Plantation is offered upon rather lower terms,
yet the sales made have been small, and
the better kinds are the most difficult to dispose of.
Mocha is little wanted, and can be obtained upon rather
lower terms; the stock is also extending, and deliveries
do not get larger. Only a limited demand has been
experienced for other East India sorts, still holders are
firm. Padang is held for 28s to 28s 6d, Sumatra 27s to
27s 6d, and Sincapore Java 30, to 31s per cwt.
For Foreign Coffee the market has assumed a quiet
aspect; but as the supply is Rot larger, former rates are
kept up. Public sales will be declared shortly, when
lower prices are expected to prevail. A public sale of
1,365 bags Native Ceylon Coffee is declared fur Thurs-
day, To day the rates insisted on for good ord Native
Ceylon were 33s per cwt; but few sales were concluded
by private treaty.
MoLasses.—The sale is brisker for Wrest India, and
prices tend upwards. Purchases to a fair extent have
been made privately, and at auction 200 puns of Trinidad
fetched 20s to 20s 6d per cwt. Bengal Treacle cannot be
quoted higher; the sale is, however, brisker at :15s to
16s per c wt, and there is a less amount on offer: indeed
some holders will not sell at present rates. An advance
in the value of Honey is apparent, and We quantity on
offer is smaller than for some time past.
Cocoa.—The market is more freely supplied with
British Plantation, and prices have assurn,:d a downward
tendency, as the demand has fallen offs The value of
low to tine red Trinidad is from 403 to 465, and grey 38s
to 433 per cwt. Prices are expected to rule lower as
several 1 arcels of the new crop are near at hand. There
is a more active demand for Foreign and the parcels dis-
posed of by private treaty were at ratter higher rates.
A public sale of 100 bags Trinidad Cocoa is declared for
Thursday.

TEL:—The demand has not improved for black, still
holders will not accept lower rates, and 7id to Bid is the
value of ord and good ccmmon congou cash. Of
Green there is still a large amount on offer, and
sellers are ready to accept rather lower rates, still
on the part of the trade little desire is evinced
to operate. For scented and B. koe Teas the
market has a dull aspect, and a slight reduction in the
value is apparent. Arrivals for the past week amounted
to 16,000 pkgs, and during that time duty was paid
upon 427,9001bs at this port. It is a subject of surprise
that the market }or Tea should continue in so quiet a
state, as prices rule low, and dealers are not oversupplied.
RlCE—There are sellers of East India rather under
former rates, as the stock is yet extensive, and home as
w ell as export deliveries continue upon a small scale.
By private treaty all sorts have been dealt in with cau-
tion; good and fine white Bengal can be obtained at
10s 6d to 1 is 6d, mid and good mid 6s to 10s, low 8s to
8s 6d, cargo 7s to 7s 6d. Madras pinky white 7s 6d to
8s 6d, and pearl barley 7s to 7s 6d. The chief operation in
been 8,000 bags of white Java at 9s. 3d. per cwt. None
has been offered at auction, and imports are still less
than in the former year, whilst prices rule lower. Only
a moderate sale has been experienced for Cleaned Rice;
town dressed Carolina at 20s to 255; American, 18s to
20s; and low to fine Patna, 13s to 19s per cwt. For
auction 3,000 bags and 1,000 packets of Bengal Rice are
declared.

briarTs.—Holders of Leeward Island are firm, and
ask full rates, but the demand has become limited, and
the sales since our last are only 250 puns at is 4id
proof. Mast India has been dealt in with caution at
Is 3d to is aid ; there are rather lower prices. Deme-
rara met wit little attention, and sellers are
willing to accept 2s to 2s 3d for 28 to 34 per cent.
over proof, and 2s 4d to 2s 5 for stronger. Holders of
Jamaica are not disposed to accept former rates, still ex-
porters and home dealers operate with caution, and
there is a plentiful supply of low and mid sorts. The
value of 20 to 29 per cent over proof is from 2s 7d to
2s 9J, and fine 3s 8d to 4s Gd. Of the best marks
is yet a small supply. The deliveries of Bum hare
been to a fair extent since our last report
Brandy is less in demand, and supplies are upon a larger
scale. Holders are more disposed to sell: Cognac best
brands of the vintage of 1845 at 5s 6d to 5s Bd, ditto
1847 4s 2d to 4s 4d, ditto 1848 3s 5d to 3s 7d, and
inferior 2s to 3s 4d. There is no falling off in con-

COCHINEAL.—There has been again a large qualitity
delivered for home consumption and exportation ; the
supply is also less plentiful, and former rates are well
supported. None has been submitted to public sale, and

131 ivately operations are upon an enlarged scale, at ful,4+
ik firmer rates.

INDIGO.—The quantity of East India declared for
public sale on the Bth of May has been increased to
5,360 chts. There is little desire on the part of exporters
or home dealers to do business, still there are not sellers
under the rates of the last quarterly sales. For Spanish
there is a steady demand, and late rates are well sup-
ported, but public sales will be declared shortly.
FRlllT.—Cnrrants cannot be obtained upon lower
terms, but the sales made have limited at from 34s to
39s per cwt for low to fine quality. There is, however,
only a small stock wnereas consumption is proceeding
under favourable auspices, and the market is not
expected to continue long in a quiet position.
Raisins are held with firmness, still only small sales
have been made. The value of prime Valencia is 40s,
and Deria 30s per cwt. Fine Figs continue to be much
wanted and stiffer rates are offered; there is, however,
still a scanty supply. In the value of other sorts of Fruit
we have little variation to record; there is however a
better demand.

SALTPETRE.—Today there was much inquiry after
rough, and it was difficult to purchase common quality
under 30s per cwt. as the supply is yet scanty.
TALLow.—Russian has been dealt in with caution on
the spot, and prices are further depressed. There are
sellers of fine P. Y. Candle at 388 6d to 29s per cwt.
For delivery in the last three month of the year
only small sales have been made, at 40s to 40s 3d, as
lower rates aro expected to prevail. Home melted is
still only in limited demand, and is offered at 39s nett
cash; the supply is even greater than of late. Prices
are not supported for other sorts, although a less amount
is on offer. At auction 72 casks New South \Vales
sold at 35s 9d to 36s 6d, and 488 pkgs South American
at 33s 6d to 37s for low to fine. The quantity declared
for auction is 800 packages. Rough Fat is offered at a
reduction.
