Su°Ans.—To-day prices further gave wa) for Raw
Sugar, as the quantity brought forward was extensive,
and proved more than sufficient for the demand. In

ness was transacted privately, the purchases amounting
to 670 hhds and trcs. although the rates accepted exhi
bited a reduction on those of last Friday of Is to is 6d.

reduction on former rates of is to is 6d.

FOREIGN.—The market for all descriptions of foreigr,
Sugar has presented a tranquil appearance alt the wcek
%%Mist the quantity on offer exceeds the wants of al

to accept lower rates, although the stock has been fur-
ther increased ; but the purchases made have beer.
limited, and 20s to 24s is the value of common to fine.
TEA.—Although there are ready sellers of all kinds o,
Congou upon previous low terms, still the purchases mad&
have been trifling this week, and the market is well supplied.
In rouchong there has been very little business done.

public sale, were taken in at 3id to 4d ; 160 tins Jamaica

SAGO.—The supply. is still large, and exceeding th.
demand, a further decline in the value has taken place.
Of 1409 chests of small Pearl offered at public sale a part
only found buyers. There are yet large parcels to
arrive, and a further fall in the value is expected to take
place. Sago Flour is dull of sale. Tapioca sells slowly.

megs were taken in—mouldy garbled therefrom, good

Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-FOr Jamaica Rum
the market has exhibited a firmer appearance, and since
our last report the rates obtained are equal to those pre-
viously current for all sorts, and a very good demand has
been experienced, chiefly from the home trade. The
total sales for the week are 200 puns. The market is
well supplied with the middling sorts. Leeward Island
met with little attention, and the business transacted this
week has been much less than in the former—whilst
holders are more inclined to sell at 3s 3d to 3a 4d proof
strength. There is a fair supply at market. East
India is little wanted, and holders' are not an
firm : the small parcels sold were at 3s to 3s 2d for
proof with certificate. For Demerara a good demand
exists, whilst full rates have been obtained, and the total
sales for the week are 200 puns. There are ready seller,
of Brandy upon further reduced terms; still few parcel.
of any kind have been taken for exportation: whilst the
home trade lave operated with much caution. Geneva
is wanted for exportation. For British Corn spirits the
demand is very good at the late advanced rates.

to 5s fur good ordinary to good bold Teneriffe silvery
black, which is the full value.

crease in the demand this week for Russian; prices have
advanced, and 48s 9d to 49s paid for fine Petersburgh
Yellow Candle. For delivery in the last three months o-
' the year the opeiations are upon a large scale at 47s 6d
to 474 Od. For home matte a good demand exists at
