last market-day, 29.

(From the' London New Price Current of April 24. )
SUGAR..—SIIICC the opening of the market on Wednes-
day there has been a good demand for West India, and
prices generally have advanced is per cwt.
This afternoon both the Grocers and Refiners continued
ready buyers of %Vest India Aluscovadoes at the advance
above noticed, but in consequence of the very reduced
show of samples further advanced pri: es were asked, which
checked business and the sales did not exceed 400 hhds
and tierces, making the total business of the week 1,500
hhds and tierces, and the market dosed very firmly, exhi-
biting an advance upon the rates of Thursday last of Is to
Is 611 per cwt.

REFINED.—This week prices generally have advanced
6d per cwt, with a very firm and almost bare market
Lumps equal to the standard have brought 82i. per cwt.;
double crushed in bond has brought 34s 9d, to be delivered
in about a fortnight, while Hamburgh Loaves cannot be
bought below 37s to 39s for 14 lbs.

,ciAußiTirs...._There has been a good request for this
description, and prices hare further improved 6d to Is per
cwt.; fine yellow at 67 to 68s, good middling and good
do at 6.5 s to 66s Gd, miudling do at 64s Gd, and a few lots
brown at 60s to 61s Gd per cat.

EAST 11DIA.—In v,liite Bengal so small a quantity is
}et offering, that business is almost prevented, small par-
cels only haying been sold to supply actual wants at full
late qnctations. For Manilla and Siam the holders still
refuse to give way in prices, and the business is nearly
confined to about 6,000 bags of the furmer at 22s and 22s
6d for fine brown.

FOREIGN,--There is no new feature in this market;
Pernambuco at public sale was bought in, middling
white at 28s, yellow at.23s, and fine brown at 22s per cwt.
Brown qualities of Bahia and Rio held for stiff prices. A
floating cargo of white Havanuah has been sold at 395, de-
liverable in tile Baltic.

W. I. Mot.assils remains firm in prices, Demerara, of
good quality at 34s to 34.3 per cwt.
COFFEE.—The demand for British Plantation descrip-
tions continues extremely limited, and confiaed to the clean
and better qualities, of which we ha%c still a very small sup-
ply, but except at the late reduction sales cannot be effected.
The public sales have offcrtd 2,816 bags St. Domingo ;
the whole of the sound of the former was bought in at from
46s 6d to 483 for good ordinary to fine ordinary coliaury,
but the damaged sold at 38s 6d to 46, ; the St. Domingo
partly sold at from 45s to 46s for low and good ordinary
mixed.

This afternoon there were brought to public sale, 3 226
bags Java, 289 bags Ceylon, and 332 biles Mocha, which
went off quietly, there being no desire to purchase at pre.
Bent rates, and the whole of the sound was Weight in;
Java, good pale bold at 755; Ceylon, good ordinary 935;
and Mocha at 1153 to 128 s ; the damaged of the Java
sold at stiffer prices than lately, first class from 65s to 67s
per cwt.
Cocoa.—The prices of West India are not so firmly
supported, 225 bags St. Lucia disposed of at 54s to 564 6d
for good middling red. Foreign is firm at late rates.
_ INDIGO.—The quarterly sales which commenced on the
14th, were brought to a close yesterday. The quantity
declared is 6,052 chests comprising the following assort_
ment, viz :-315 chests very fine shippirig quality ; 550
good and fine do; 1,012 middling shippers; 1,070 fine
consumers and ordinary shippers ; 909 middling to fine
consumers ; 582 ordinary and low do ; 100 very low and
trash ; 604 Madras ; 111 Kurpah ; 746 Oude ; 28 Manilla ;
25 Bombay. Prices ruled about 3d under those of the
last sale.

Taenow.—Prices continue to rule very high for Rus-
sian Tallow; the stock being nearly all in the hands of one
party, he is still enabled to get his own price, and for small
parcels of first quality 52s 6d has been paid. The stock
is 4,800 casks greater than at this time last year. Several
parcels of Odessa have arrived, and sales made at compa-
ratively lower prices than at Petersburgh. For delivery
in the last three months the transactions have been on a
small scale at 49s 5d to 49s 9d per cwt.
PROVISIONS.—For Irish Butter prices continue very
high; a fair demand exists for Foreign, but prices are
.lower, fine qualities are selling at 108 s a 110 s. Bacon
prices are firmer ; prime meat is selling at 51s to 32a.
Lard prices are firm.
Spices.-In Cassia Lignea nothing of consequence has
been done. For pepper extreme prices continue to be
' paid. In Pimento late rates supported.
This afternoon, 294 bags middling Bourbon Clore*
;were offered at public sale, and bought in at 10/4 to
11id per lb. 716 bags Bengal Ginger of good fair quality
cold at 18s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—Tbe monthly public sales of Tea commenced on
Wednesday ; the total quantity was 12,471 pkgs, or
915,775 lbs weight. The attendance of persons was
large, but there was a want of spirit in the biddings, not-.
withstanding the trade evinced a better feeling towards
the article than previously. The merchants exhibited
much firmness, and gave great support by buying in con-
siderable parcels at high rates ; the trade was consequently
compelled to pay full prices for the quantity purchased,
but no actual advance upon the previous market-rates can
be. quoted. Black Teas have chiefly sold at full former
prices, while the Green, of wlriele the-proportion was large,
have gone off very heavily, and generally at reduced
prices, say 2d to 3d per lb, which is more apparent is
Hysons.
For Company's Congou the demand has been dull, and
the price has fallen to 2s .5d a 2s sid per lb cash, while
for prompts nothing has been done. In Free Trade _Tea
there has been scarcely any business done by private con-
tract, but generally holders arc firm, and the market looks
healthy.
To-day the public sales were brought to a close ; the
biddings were again inanimate, which perhaps may be ac-
counted for by the bulk that passed auction being Green
descriptions, which are not much wanted by the trade.
Prices, however, were firmer towards the close, and the
total quantity sold is estimated at 11,000 pkgs. Congou
closed a shade dearer in some instances. This afternoon
Company's C ngous remained dull at 2s 5d to 2s 3fd cash.
Rest, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The only alteration -
in the prices of Rum is a fall of Id per gallon on tlje com-
mon qualities of Lcewards, but the market has become
quiet, and the business of the week confined to about 300
puns Leewards, proof. to 3 over at 3s 9d to 3s 10d, 5 to 11
Over at 4s to 4s Bd, 20 to 25 over at 4s 10d to 5s 2d, 96
to 29 user at 5s 3d to 5s sd, 33 to 38 over at 5s 6d to fa
Bd, and 29 over and upwards at 5s 10d to Gs per gallon.
Full prices are asked for the few Jamaicas offering. Tnere
is no new feature in the Brandy market, end the purchases
have not been large. Geneva remains as before quoted,
and British Corn Spirits arc still obtainable at 10s per
gallon.
RICE.-The market has been quiet during the week.
This afternoon 670 bags Bengal yellow cargo cold at
Os a 9s 6(.1 per cat.
Oles.—The transactions have been on a small scale in
Fish Oils, but the merchants have refused to submit to
lower prices; pale Seal has fetched 27/. lOs for first qua-
lity; Cod 28/. 10s, and Southern 23/. 15s to 251. ftir low
to good quality. Sperm has been taken sparingly, but
fine quality is not ale ed under 108 L Fur Linseed prices
have ruled rather lower on the spot. Rape is also a shade
cheaper. Palm at 351. to 351. lOs for first quality. For
Olive prices arc firmer.
