(From the London New Price Current of June 4.)

Stioaa.--The market for West India Mutcovado Sugar has
presented a tranquil appearance this week, and although importers
have submitted to a reduction on former rates of is per cwt, still
the demand has been limited for both grocery and refining pur-
poses, II iyers taking barely sufficient to supply their immediate
wants, and the private purchases for the two market days have
amounted to only 600 hhds and tierces. At public sale 23S Itlids
3(; tierces and brls new Barbadocs wore offered,
and went off quietly,
and about 70 hhds were taken in, the remainder sold at the re-

tish Plantation at market this week, and the qualities brought
forward well adapted for the wants of the home trade, still the
market has presented a quiet aspect; for clean sorts the demand
has been limited, buyers taking barely sufficient to supply their
immediate wants; importers, however, are unwilling to submit to
lower rates, and prices differ little from those of last week, but
unclean sorts are totally neglected, and are offered at lower rates.
This afterncon the market was quiet for all sorts admissible for
home consumption, and privately few purchases were made,' but
holders refused to submit to any further decline in prices, at public
sale 6 cases 8 bales Mocha, and 30 bags Mysore were offered ;
the former went at 103 s to 115 s for good and fine ord cleani,h
green garbled, and latter at 60s for good ord, being the full value.

TEA.—The unfavourable accounts received from China have
caused a great increase in the demand for free trade Tea this week,
and a considerable advance has taken place in prices.

To-day there was an active demand for Free Trade Tea of all
descriptions, and prices further improved, large sales of ord Con-
gou for cash were made at 2s to 2s Id, and Twan kay at is II id,
and towards the close of the market it was difficult to purchase
fair clean Congou for cash under 2s Id, In the speculative maiket
there has been much excitement all day, and large sales in Com-
pany's Congou have been made at the improved rates of 2s lid to
2s 2d, but on change there were sellers at the former rate, the ad-
vance on Black Tea this week Is full 6d, and on Green 4d to 5d
per lb. For public sale on Thursday 10,000 pkgs are declared.

CORN AND POPULATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir—lt is placed beyond doubt that since the period
the " food monopoly" was created, the population of the
empire has increased at the ratio of 36 per cent. at the
least. Making all allowances for improvements in the
a ~;•ricultural processes, has the"native production of food
increased five per cent. ? I think not ; but he must be
a bold " Buckinghamite," who would attempt to l rove
that the increase of • native food has been one-fourth as
great as the increase of months to eat it.
Now, Mr. Editor, will you oblige a simple " bagman,"
by telling him, though these laws might have been equi-
table when they were enacted, how in the altered rela-
tion of supply and demand can they be other Wise than
intolerably unjust how ?

I arn, sir, your obedient servant,
A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.
Salisbury, May 28.

CORN LAWS AND utiARTISTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sza,—l cannot approve of the conduct pursued by so
large a portion of my Chartist brethren in their opposi-
tion to the present agitation for a repeal of the Corn-laws.
I attach, probably, a greater importance than they do
to the abolition of the several monopolies now under
dis-
cussion

Possessing no faith in the sincerity of the Go-
vernment in regard to their professed, determination to
effect the abolition of the several monopolies which ob-
struct our commerce, as well as our social and political
advancement, I am of opinion that, monopolies once
repealed, no influence of whatever Government will be
sufficiently powerful to effect a re-imposition of them ;
or to postpone, neutralize, or destroy the grand and im-
measurable advantages which will flow from a liberal
and comprehensive system of free trade—that, in fact,
" free trade will be the Whigs' master, as well as their
own and the country's benefactor."
Having drawn up a petition to the Hottsp of Commons,
I am glad to say that in the course of two hours we ob-
tained not less than one hundred and five signatures.
A petition in favour of the Corn-laws is also in pro-
gress here, under the auspices of the aristocracy and
their dependents ; and I regret to say that ministers of
the Established Church have become the most
zealous promoters of its success. In the church
of a neighbouring parish the Clergyman, on the Sab-
bath-day, exhorted his hearers to sign a petition to
uphold the Corn-laws. A labouring man inquired the
purport of the petitit n, intimating that if its prayer was
for a continuance of the laws, he should object to attachhis
signature. " Oh, do not hesitate to sign it," replied the
clergyman, "it is all right—its object is to put down
Socialism and Chartism."

• But a volume would not contain the misrepresentations
imposed by the clergy and flint-hearted aristocracy on
the weaker understandings and unsuspecting minds of
the oppressed. and almost famished labourers and me-
chanics in this neighbourhood.
Our petition prays for an abolition of all monopolies,
whether in relation to land, or corn, or to the Parlia-
mentary franchise ; 'and I trust that my Chartist' briF.:-
thren, in every part of the empire, will no longer hesi-
tate to promote so important and valuable an object.
