rttehreti value of
rerea was
only one small parcel submitted to public competition.
There was, however, no increase in the amount of busi-
ness done for export or home consumption. West India
Muscovado was operated in with caution for all purposes,
and the private sales did not exceed 200 hhds and tierces
at the reduced rates previously quoted, or at a fall on the
prices of last Friday of is per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day there was a large business trans-
acted in refined goods by the home trade, in consequence
of rather lower rates being accepted. Brown grocery
lumps were sold at 575, and standard at 58s to 58s 6d.
Bonded crushed Sugar is dull of sale at 32s to 32s 6d for
fine quality.
Maxamus.—None at present has been submitted to
public competition. By private treaty few purchases
have been made by refiners or grocers in any kinds,
although there are sellers at even a further reduction in
prices. The deliveries are not so large of late, and fur-
ther parcels have ben received, but prices are 5s to 6s
per cwt under those current at this time in 1846.
EAST INDIA.— By private treaty little business has been
transacted in any kind of Bengal Sugar this week, not-
withstanding holders further lowered their prices 6d per
cwt. At auction 30 boxes 2,038 bags grainy were all
sold. For Madras the market has a very dull appear
ante, and privately scarcely any business has been
transacted, although there are sellers upon the low terms
of 32s to 39s for damp ; at auction 3,207 bags were taken
in and withdrawn at 84s for brown, and 35s to 36s for
yellow. There is a fair supply at market. Of Ceylon
148 casks at public sales were only in part sold at low
rates.

FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 120 pkgs
Savanilla Sugar sold at 50s for good white, and at 41s
to 41s 6d for ordinary yellow damp and washed. Pri-
vately, 2,000 chests yellow Havannah were sold, chiefly
at 45s 6d per cwt.
MOLASSES.—AIthough West Ineia can be obtained at
a further reduction in the value, still there are few buyers
to be met with, and we quote low to fine quality at 18s to
22s per cwt. For Bengal Treacle the market is in a dull
state, and former rates cannot be obtained. Of Ceylon
Syrup 36 hbds at auction were sold at 20s for thin.
Honey further declined in value. Of West India Tama-
rinds 30 casks and jars at auction were sold at 58s to
78s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the quantity of Ceylon
Coffee offered at public sale amounted to 1,723 bags and
7 casks ; the whole sold, but at a reduction on former
rates of 6d for Native ; and the Plantation went rather
cheaper. Of Rio 223 bags were all taken in at 36s to
38s for fine ordinary washed. 50 bags Savanilla sold at
32s 6d for good ord pale, like St. Domingo.
TEA.—Since Friday last a stronger desire has been
manifested to operate in every kind of tea, and a rise in
the value has generally taken place; speculators have
turned their attention towards the article. In Congou,
extensive purchases have been made in all kinds, and
the rates paid exhibit an advance on those cur-
rent two weeks of id, good sound common
Congou is worth 9id to 9id. Of Pouchong
several parcels have been sold, and at better prices.
In Green large purchases have been made in all kinds,
and the improvement in prices is on fine Young Hysons
and good Gunpowder 2d to 4d per lb, good and fine
Twankay Id to 2d, Hyson ld to 2d, whilst common
Twankay and ord Young Hysons have sustained the
former value. For Pekoe Teas there is a more active
demand, and full rates are obtained. Of the 4,040 pkgs
offered at public sale, 2,860 were sold, and the bidding
were brisker than for some time past.
RICE.—To-day the quantity of Bengal Rice offered at
public sale amounted to 6,376 bags; 4,375 bags were
taken in at 19s 6d to 20s for fine white, which was above
the value. 2,000 bags were sold at the reduced rates
that existed previously: good bold pearly white went
at 17s 6d to 18s, good middling 17s to 17s 6d.

--S—r-utrrs.--Thcre is a largo supply of Jamaica Rum,
and holders aro willing sellers, but although they sub-
mitted to a reduction on former rates of 2d to 3d per
gallon, still it occasioned no increase in the demand for
exporters, and the home trade have purchased all kinds
with caution. Leeward Island is little wanted, and
price are lowering. East India is heavy of disposal,
and is offered upon further reduced terms, that is to say
