(From the London New Price Current of October 2.)
SVGAR.—The British Plantation Sugar Market has as-
sumed a quiet aspect; the demand from the grocers has
been limited this week, they taking barely sufficient to
supply their immediate wants, and the refiners mostly keep
out of the market; middling and fine yellow kinds have
brought previous rates, but brown and low yellow qualities
have in several cases been disposed of at a reduction of 6d
per cwt ; some of the importers are still sanguine in their
expectations, the deficiency in the comparatitre stacks
increasing, and the trade everywhere being scantily sup-
plied. The purchases for the three market days have
amounted to 1,000 hhds and tierces, including 151 hhds
Barbadoes at public sale, which went at previous rates,
and all found buyers, fine yellow at 86s to 86s 6d, good
84s 6d to 85s 6d, middling 83s to 84s, and one lot greyish
damp 81s; privately for low yellow Trinidad 81s 6d has
been accepted and 83a to 84s for good yellow St. Kitts.
The arrivals have amounted to 2.500 hhds, &c. since last
Friday: the stock is 22,275 hhds, &c less than it was in
1839 at this time. The Gazette average price is now
58s 2d, in 1839 it was 40s 24. d, and in 1838 at this time
29s 2d per cwt.
This afternoon there was not much life in the market,
still the merch sots refused to submit to any fuither reduc-
tion, and there was decidedly a better demand from the
grocers, but the refiners bought with caution ; the sales
amounted to 500, making the total quantity sold for the
week 1,500 [Ads and tierces.
REFINED.—In the value of Refined Goods little varia-
tion has taken place since we last wrote, but there has
been a better demand frim the home trade, and a fair
amount of business has been transacted on the following
terms ;—Standard lumps at 101 s 6d to 102 s, good and
fine brown lumps 97s to 100 s, ordinary 95s to 96s ; Ham-
bro Loaves and Tittlers, fine Io6s to 107 s, good 103 s to
107 s per cwt. Treacle has been disposed of more freely,
and prices have been steady ; sales in common made at
38s to 395, Patent 41s to 425, and best old
make 43s to 445. Bastards have sold steadily
at former quotations; common has fetched 67s to
70s, better 71s to 78s. A good demand has existed for
Pieces, 78s to 80s has been paid for low and middling, and
624 to 87s for fine kinds. Bonded Crushed Sugar 33s to
33s 3d. Loaves 6 lbs have been disposed of at 425, 10 bs
39a to 39s 6d, and 14 lbs. 38s to 38s 6d. Treacle 14s 9d
to 15s. Bastards 22s to 28s. Dutch Crushed Sugar is
rather lower, 31s having been taken for 100 tons, deliver-
able on board et Amsterdam.
EAST INDIA.—In Manilla there has been little passing
privately, the attention of buyers being directed to the
public sales declared for next week, consisting of
10,000 bags ; holders however remained firm, and
prices have been supported. Siaru has sold slowly,
but prices keep up ; the public sales of 6,000
bags are postponed until the 20th. Java has been in fair
demand by private treaty, and full prices have been paid;
the refiners continue the chief operators. White kinds of
Bengal hare brought previous rates, but the home trade
have bought with caution ; broWn and low sorts arc heavy
of sale, and offered at rather lower prices ; there has been
no public sale, but 700 bags brown are declared for the
7th. The stock is 25,136 bags less than at this time last
year. _ _

This afternoon the trade evinced little desire to purchase
Bengal, and 1,194 bags at public sale went without spirit,
white sorts however at full prices, but brown and yellow
kinds sold rather cheaper, fine white fetched 87s to 88s,
good 85s to 86s, low middling 84s to 84s 6d, middling
bright yellow 83s, dingy 80s to Bls 6d, b:ight brown 763
6d to 775, damps, white, and brown 75 to 86s 6d, washed
72s 6d to 83s, white, Sugar drainage, damaged, 81s 6d to
ass 6d.
Matieiritis.—By private treaty both grocers and refiners
have shown little desire to do business, and 4,173 bags at
public sale sold without spirit, low brown sorts of which
there was a large quantity in the sale, at a reduction on
former rates of 2s to 3s, other kinds maintained their for-
o,er value, good and firm yellow sold at 84s to 86s, mid
82s 6d to 83s, low 81s 6d to 82s, good and fine brown 80a
to 81e, low and mid 74s to 77s 6d, very dark low heavy
brown 64s 6d to 7ls per cwt. For auction on the 6th,
1,800 bags aro declared, and 7,000 bags for the 7th; no
arrivals since those mentioned by us last Friday. The
stock is 76,014 bags less than last year at this time.
FOREIGN.—For White descriptions of Brazil a much
better demand has existed, chiefly for shipping, and the
rates previously established have been fully supported ;
120 chests soft Pernams have been disposed of privately,
low and middling quality at 24s 6d to 25s 6d, good 275;
150 chests strong middling Bahia at 255, besides which
200 chests at an average of 25s 6d, being the
parcel taken ill at auction on Friday last Brown
sorts are much wanted principally by our refiners, and full
prices have been paid by private treaty, the parcel of 120
chests taken in at auction last Friday, has been sold at an
average of 22s 6d; the supply is still short. Yellow Ha
vannah is not procurable on lower terms, but there has
been only a limited business transacted privately, either for
export or refining under bond, and none has been offered
at auction ; there are still buyers to a fair extent at a
slight reduction. The demand for white has been very
limited, but holders have displayed firmness, and previous
rates have been supported. For public sale on the 20th,
320 chests 250 barrels Pernams are declared : 2,032 boxes
Havannah have arrived since last Friday.
COPPIE.—The importers of British Plantation are gene-
rally not disposed to submit to any further reduction, and
have supplied the market sparingly this week, but the
trade still operate with caution, the Purchases have been
on a small scale in all clean sorts and canfined to the
public sales of 183 casks, 20 brls principally Jamaica,
some part was taken in, holders being unwilling to take
lower rates.
There has been no public sale of Foreign, and holders
not being disposed to take previous rates for Brazil have
checked bnsiness privately, and only 400 bags have been
disposed of at 42s 6d to 44s 6d, for good and fine ord, ord
much mixed 425, if the merchants would take previous
prices it would lend to the disposal of many parcels; St
Domingo has been much sought after, but few parcels are
yet to be bad.
This afternoon the market for East and West flndia
Coffee was still in a dull state, and by private treaty there
was nothing done, and the only public sale was that of 800
bags Coffee from the Cape, the whole was taken in above
the value, viz good ord pale Java at 63s to 645, and good
Padang at 48s ; the nominal value of good ord Ceylon is
80s per cwt.
OlLS.—There has been an increased inactivity in the
Market for common descriptions cf Fish Oil this week,
and holders have been more desirous to realise. Pale
Seal at 291 lOs to 291 15s. For Cod 281 15s to 29/
Southern not offered at any further reduction. Sperm, first
quality, held for 1071 to 1081. Linseed Oil on the spot was

auction all sold at 231 lOs to 2515 s for low to fine quality.
RUM, BEANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been an in-
creased disinclination evinced on the part of both shippers
and the home trade, to purchase Rum this week, and the
operations wero very limited ; all strong descriptions arc,
however, held for nearly previous rates, the supply being
small ; but common kinds of Leewards prices have given way
efd to 3d per gallon. Proof in small parcels have been
disposed of at 3s 3d to 39 3id, even at which there are few
buyers. The stock has been further increased ; 620 nuns,
&c., have been received since last Fi iday. East India is
procurable on rather lower terms, but there are few buyers.
The stock of W. I. is rather less than it was last year at
this time. Brandy has supported previous rates, but the
accounts from France speaking favourably of the vintage
have caused the trade to buy less freely, still a fair
amount of business has been transacted on the follow-
ing terms :—Cognac first brand of the vintage of 1836 at
5s 2d to 5s 4d in hhds and puns ; 1837, 5s to 5s 2d ; ditto

but there has not been much demand.
To-day Rum was neglected, and proof Leewards were
to be bought at 3s 2,1r1 per gallon.
TALLOW —There has been an increased disinclination
manifested on the part of. both chandlers and soap-makers
to purchase; the neare-t quotation for P. Y C. of the first
quality is 525. For forward delivery the operations have
been on a small scale in P. Y. C., and prices have deenned
to 51s 9d for the last three months, and 52s 3d for Janu-
ary, February, and March.
