(From the London New Price Current of September 4.)
St:GAEL—The demand for all qualities of British Plan-
ation was limited on Tuesday, the private purchases amount-
rig to only 400 hhds, &c.,but the merchants were firm, and
previous rates were supported. At auction on the former day
100 bhds Barbadoes sold without animation, but at former
prices, it was upon the whole but an indifferent parcel ;
good to fine yellow fetched 85s to 86s 6d, low to middling
82s to 84s per cwt. Yestetday, however, there was more
life in the market, and a fair amount of business was
transacted for both grocery and refining purposes, 550
hhds, &c., were disposed of, and the merchants obtained
even rather higher prices for fine yellow sorts, Jamaica
fetching 88s., and a little inferior 87s. per cwt. ; the pre-
sent high rates, however, and which are more than a
hundred per cent. above those two years ago, cause
the trade to operate with caution, and to take only
sufficient for their immediate wants, though there
is very little chance at present of any reduction taking
place in prices. The stock at the end of August was not
half of what it was at the same time in 1839, and the dif-
ference in the importation this as compared with that of
last year even exceeded that quantity. The arrivals have
been 2,265 hhds, &c., since this day week. The Gazette
average price is now 583 Id, in 1839, 40s Hid, and in
1838, at this time. 28s 101r1 per cwt. Fur auction on
Tuesday SO hhds Barbadoes are declared.
To-day the trade came forward with increased freedom,
and a good den-and prevailed for all descriptions, both
from the grocers and refiners; 450 hhds, &c. were disposed
of at rather higher rates, making the advance for the week
fully 6d per cwt, and 1,400 hhds and tierces sold ; at the
close of the market nothing of dry brown quality was to be
had under 81s per cwt.
REFINED.—The home trade have purchased sparingly
of Refined Goods this week, and prices have given way
is to is Gd per cwt—standard lumps selling in small par-
cels at 1063 to 106 s 6d ; Tittlers and flamburgh Loaves,
good 1083 to 1093, fine 1093 Gd to 110 s 6d, low brown
lumps 101 s to 102 s, good and fine 1033 to 105 s per
cwt. The demand for Treacle has been very limited;
we quote best old make 44s to 44s 6d, patent 41s 6d
to 423, and common 39a to 403. Pieces have sold
freely, fine sorts up to 86s. Bastards hare been in good re-
quest, and common sorts are not to be had under 70s per
cwt. For Bonded Loaves a good demand has existed,
373 6d to 383 paid for 14, and 38; Gd to 39s for 101bs. In
Crushed Sugar the operations have been on a small scale
only at 33a Gd. Treacle has sold freely at 15s. Pieces
and Bastards are not much in request, and prices are un-
varied. In Dutch Crushed Sugar the operations have
been on a more extended scale; 200 tons have been sold
at 3lsto 31s 3d on board at Amsterdam.
To-day the grocers purchased more freely of refined
goods, and prices are firmer; standard lumps are 107 s to
107 s Gd per cwt. Treacle was in better request at the
rates quoted above.
MAtTRITIUS.—AII the parcels offering for sale by private
treaty at former rates have found ready buyers, but large
purchases have been prevented, owing to the short supply ;
brown as well as yellow sorts are much wanted ; there has
been no public side. The importation up to the end of
August this year was about 87,700 bags, and the preseet
stork i, 81,825 bags legs than in 1839 at this tune: no ar.
rival since this day week.
EAST lenia.—White descriptions of Bengal have been
much sought after by the Home Trade, and advanced rates
offered, but by private treaty few parcels are to be had ;
brown at,d yellow kinds have been in better request,
and prices have improved; at auction 1,719 b,gs sold
with spirit 6d to is above former rates, middling to
good white fetched 86s to 87s 6d, washed and damp
83a to 66s 6d, low heavy brown 72s 6d to 753 6-1.
fair 78s 6d, damp 65; to 67s 6d, dry yellow 853. 6d.
The stock is considerably less than it was last year
at this time the importation has been under that of
1839. Our refiners are buyers to a fair extent of Manilla,
and would pay former rates, but the short supply has re-
stricted business, and few sales bave been made privately ;
for export the orders are still trivial, prices being too high
to admit of the execution thereof, there has been no public
sale. Siam and Java being held for rather higher prices,
have caused the operations privately to be on a small scale.
None has been offered at public sale.
This afternoon Bengal was in active request, and 1,614
bags at public sale all sold at prices 6d to is higher, fine
white fetched 893 6.1. good 883 to 83s 6d, damps and
washed 86a to 87s Gd, soft dingy yellow 82s to 835 6d,
rather bright 84a, damps and washed 81s to 83s.
FOREIGN.—Brown descriptions of Brazil have been
sought after, principally for refining under bond, and 150
chests have been disposed of privately at 21s 6d to 223 for
good quality, being very full prices ; at auction 56 chests
Rio sold at 21s to 223 for brown and low yellow; all kinds
of white are neglected, but holders do not appear dis-
posed to submit to lower prices. Brown Havannah is
wanted, but the supply is short, yellow is held firmly,
but there has been little disposition evinced on the part of
shippers to do business, and the refiners have bought with
caution ; at public sale 807 boxes have been offered and
nearly all taken in at stiff prices, middling to fine qua,.
lity at 25s to 263 Gd, but 300 boxes have been sold
since the sale at 26s to 263 6d for fine quality. A cargo
of 800 boxes of good quality has been taken for Ghent
at 25s 6d per cwt. For white the demand has been
very limited, and although holders were willing to
submit to a reduction on former rates of is at the
public sales of 1,084 boxes, yet only GO boxes found buyers,
40 of fine quality at 365, and 20 do at 355, and a few lots
of washed at 28s to 295, the remainder was taken in at 33s
to 36s for low to good quality with strength. Tho stock
of Havannah Sugar is nearly 50,000 boxes, 18,000 of
which consists of white quality. The stock of Brazil
is less than last year at this time.
MOLASSES.—In West India there has been much busi-
ness doing, but prices remain firm ; the stock is nearly
1,600 casks less than last year at this period.
COEFEL—The West India market has presented a tran-
quil appearance since this day week ; cicala descriptions
have been taken sparingly by the home trade, although
holders have submitted to a reduction on former rates of
2s, unclean sorts have sold heavily, and prices have
suffered a decline of 45 to 53 per cwt, these
kinds being still the most difficult to dispose of.
The operations have been confined to the public sales
consisting of 260 casks and 244 this and bags, at which the
biddings were languid, the clean kinds were, however,
nearly all disposed of, viz., Jamaica mid at Ills to 1183,
low mid 105 s to 109 s, fine fine ord 1003 to 1043 good and
fine ord 86s to 935, ord and fine ord 80s to 83s 6d ; Berbice
unclean was taken in mid at 955, fine ord 86,s qd, n
.44110rara
mid 102 s, good ord 74s- The steel* and the importations up
to the present time are considerably larger than last year,
100 casks are declared for Tuesday. In the value of
