(From the London New Price Current of January 3.)
SUGAR.—.. A good demand has prevailed from the grocers
for West India Sugar, and the prices paid previous to the
holidays have been fully supported ; fine yellow descrip-
tions, of which the supply is very short, have brought
rather higher prices ; the refiners have purchased to a
fair extent, principally of strong qualities, and the mer-
chants have obtained former quotations . the sales for the
two days have amounted to 1,300 hhds and tierces ;
Dominica, good grey at 635; Demerara, good brown at
58s; St. Lucia, low middling yellow 60 6d ; Jamaica, ra-
ther better 61s, with more colour 635, good 645, fine mid
66s to 675, above this figure there are few samples on show.
Of Barbadoes there has been no public sale.
The parcels of Mauritius' Sugar declared for auction
on Tuesday have nit caused grocers or refiners to be less
anxious to do business in West India this afternoon, and
the demand was pretty good, the sales amounting to 700
hhds and trs, and former rates were supported.
RIIFINIID♦--For Refined Goods Otero has been a steady
demand this week from the grocers, and previous rates
have been fully supported ; standard lumps have been dis-
posed of currently at 76s tid to 77s per cwt. Bastards above
50s have been disposed of to a fair extent. Patent and the
best old make at 33s 6d to 355. For Bonded Crushed Sugar
buyers have been compelled to pay 34s 3d a 34s 6d for
small parcels. Treacle at 13s, but few buyers above 12a
6d per cwt. The demand for Pieces and Bastards has
been only for small parcels, at 22s to 26s for the former,
nod I7s to 189 for the latter. Loaves have sold slowly,
101bs. at 37s Gd to 38,, and 14Ibs at 36, 6d to 37s per
ewt. For Dutch Crushed Sugar 31s 6d on board at Am-
sterdam.

MAURITIUS.—Fine yellow sorts were in some cases
rather higher, low middling yellow sold at 62a 6d, mid
638 6d, good 665, fine 674, very superior nearly white 693,
and two lots fine brown 57s 6,1 per cwt.
EAST INDIA.— White descriptions of Bengal: for small
parcels the late high prices have been easily obtained ;
brown and greyish white kinds are held firmly. For Ma
nilla 19s to 21s 6d, for low brown and yellow quality;
Siam of good white quality is held for late rates, low
white 245 to 24s 6d-, and good middling 26s 6d to 27; per
cwt; Java, fair and ,middling brown at 20; to 205 6d,
and low yellow and grey at 22s a 23s per cwt.
This afternoon 2,000 wigs Bengal fine chrystallized yel-
low fetched for the bulk 68s to 68s 6d, damps went at
675 to 68s, and washed 66s to 67s per cwt.
FORBlON—Havannah at 24s for fair yellow, and 25; for
good middling with strength. Brown Brazil at previous
rates, common white sorts at the prices of last week.
COFFEB.—The merchants being anxious to dispose of
the late arrivals of East India and Cape Coffee, having
offered large preels at auction, besides advertising
others for next week have caused the grocers to purchase
less freely of British Plantation, and the operations by pri-
vate contract have been yeti., limited, but the merchants
have refused to reduce their pretensions for clean sorts,
in consequence of the small stock, and prices re-
main as previously quoted ; Jamaica, fine ord was
held for 103 s, good ord 91; a 91; ; D2merara, middling
107 s, fine fine ord 102 s, being its former value : th; stock
at the close of the month was 600 tons less than during
the same period in 1838. In East India and other de.
scriptions admissible for home consumption, the °vire-
tions have been conned principally to the large public
sale, which have good off heavily and at lower prices.
Mocha fetched fair market rates—viz, bold yellow at 131 s
to 133 s 6d per cwt. St. Domingo is held for previous
rates; but Brazil has been disposed of rather under pre-
vious rates. •

This afternoon there was little inclination to buy Cofftq‘
for home consumption, former prices were supported ; 76
casks Berbice at auction were mo,tly taken in at 112', for
low mid unclean, two lots clean mid fetched 177 a; 15 casks
fine pale Java taken in at 87s,
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has Appealed
