, (From the London New Price Current of September 18.)
SUGAR.—The West India market has presented a tran-
quil appearance this week ; the grocers have purchased
sparingly of both brown and yellow descriptions, and the
demand from refiners has been very limited, importers how.
ever, have displayed firmness, and prices have undergone
little variation, in some cases however a reduction of 6d per
cwt has been submitted to for brown and mid yellow descrip-
tions, the purchases for the three market daysamounted to
only 1,000 hhds, &c., including 126 hhds Barbadoes, and 35
hhds 28 brls St. Lucia at public sale, the former went
heavily, but the former rates were maintained, middling
and ,good middling yellow fetched 82s 6d to 83s 6d, good
84s to 85s 6d, fine 86s 6d; the latter went at steady rates,
ordinary strong grey at 81s to 82s, and middling yellow
83s 6d per cwt ; privately good brown or low yellow De-
merara has been disposed of at 82s, middling to good mid-
dling from the different colonies 83s to 85s, good and fine
Antigua 86s to 87s. At existing rates sonic of the mer-
chants will not sell, in consequence of there being every
prospect that the stock of Sugar in the kingdom, subject
to the low rate of duty, will be extremely small towards
the close of the year. The Gazette average price is 58s
Oil; in 1839, it was 40s 9d, and in 1838 at this time 28s
10Id per cwt.
'l'o-day the purchases made in West India we're on a
small scale, both Grocers and Refiners buying with cau-
tion, and only 350 hhds and tierces were disposed of, but
the merchants still display firmness, and the reduction
since this day week amounts to only 6d per cwt, and this
not being general, we do not alter our quotations. The
toieel sales for the week have been only 1,350 hhds and Ira.
REF purchases in Refined Goods for home
consumption ave been on a small scale this week, and
prices have buffered a further depression of es 6d to 2s per
cwt. Standard Lumps small parcels have been disposed
of at 101.1 s 6cl to 103 s, ordinery brown Lumps 96s to 995,
good and fine 100 s to 102 s. Tejers and Hamburg Loaves
fine 107 s to 108 e, good 104 s to 106 s ;ler cwt. For Treacle
there are still few buyers, and rather low "r rates have been
accepted ; sales of common have been made a: 38s 6d to 39s
6d; Patent 41s to 42; ; best old make and golden syrup 43s
to 445, good scum 33s to 345 per cwt. Pieces have' sold
readily, good and fine qualities at 82s to 88s, ordinary eed
middling 78s to Ws. Bastards have been in good request,
and prices have been firm, common sorts selling at 67s to
70s, good and fine 74s to 755 per cwt. Bonded Crushed
Sugar has been in brisk request, first quality at 33s 6d,
second quality at 33s to 33s 3d. Loaves have sold freely,
10 lbs at 39e to 39s 6d, and 14 lbs 38s to 38s 6d. Bastards
and Pieces are dull of sale, at 20s to 285. Treaele has
sold freely at 15s. Dutch Crushed Sugar is held for 31s
ed on board at Amsterdam, but there has been little pass-
ing; some parcels of Treacle, subject to a duty of 25s 3d,
have been taken by the home trade at 38a per cwt.
EAST INDIA._Whito descriptions of Bengal have been
sought after by the grocers, who have offered former rates,
but privately sales of moment have been prevented, owing to
the short supply ; brown mid ordinary yellow kinds have
been taken sparingly, but prices have been supported.
At auction 500 bags have been offered, good white went at
86s 6d, mid. 85s to 85s 6d, bright yellow 82s to 84s 6d,
damps 83s 6d to 85s, washed 83s 6d to 84s ed per cwt.
elani:Le has been inquired for by our refiners, but the short
supply at mar::et has operated against business, the small
parcels disposed of .have brought full former rates ; the
shippers have ceased to Sasake inquiries. The ordinary
sorts of Java arc wanted, but few parcels are to be had.
Siam is held firmly, but there bass been little passing.
This afternoon 1,275 bags Bengal weee offered at auction,
which being the kind not much wantea, a part only was
sold, but at full prices ; soft dingy yellow weett at 82s 6d
to 845, damps 82s to 83s, washed 81s 6d, Sugar drainage,
damaged, 80s 6d to 82s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—Previous rates have been maintained, .ut
the purchases have been limited by private treaty, and
none has been offered at auction, the parcels in first hands
being nearly all cleared off. The stock is 86,354 bags
less than last year at this time. The " iel" has ar•
rived in the river, with a cargo of sugar.
FOREIGN.—Brown descriptions of Brazil have been in
excellent demand, principally for refining under bond. and
rT "ricea have been paid, 100 chests 340 barrels soft Per.
r.
4isnoeed of by private treaty at 21s to 225,
nams have been 4 nrevious rates, but there has
white sorts have sUpportee "-eannah there has been
been little passing ; for brown en- the short sup.
several inquiries, and full prices offereu, bur •- held firmly
ply precludes business of moment, yellow ie "have
at last week's rates, but both the shippers
few parcels have
and refineie_
evinced little desire to do business,
changed hands ; if holders would take rather lower prices
an
it would lead to the disposal of several parcels ; to pur-
chase white previous quotations must be paid, but the
operations have been on a small scale, there has been no
public sale of any kind this week ; since we last wrote 280
hhds and 1,235 boxes Haven nab have been received.
Coyese —The West India Coffee market has again
presented a dull appearance; all clean kinds have been
takcu paringly by the trade, although holders have tub-
Mitted to a further reduction of Is per cwt; unclean de-
scriptions have been totally neglected, although obtainable

on lower terms, and prices are uncertain; by pupate treat
there has been nothing done, and 160 casks 126 barrels
public sale went off heavily, a part only finding buyers, vi:
Jamaica, middling 112 t to 118 a, low middling 105
to 107 s, good and fine ordinary 77s to 975; St.
Lucia, unclean low middling was taken in at.ss.
The arrivals have amounted to 440 tierces, &c. since "1
last wrote ; at existing rates some of the merchants still
not sell, they being of opinion that the trade basting al-
lowed their stocks to get low, must ere long be compelled
to purchase more freely, added to which the late consider-
able reduction which has taken place in the value of Coffe
will no doubt deter parties sending cargoes to the Cape ; for
auction on Wednesday 60 casks, and for Thursday 100 cask
are declared. The market for East India and Cape de-
scriptions has been in a dull state, and importers having
pre,sed large quantities fcr sale ; prices have been further
depressed for nearly all kinds. In Java the operations
have been confined to the public sales of 5,100 bags, nearly
the whole of which was disposed of, but at a reduction on
former rates of 3s; good ordinary pale, and fine bold yel-
low went 595 to 645, the principal part was however at €3s
to 63s 6d, and was taken chiefly on speculation. For
Ceylon prices have become nominal ; nothing bas been done
privately. and 219 bags at public sale were withdrawn
at 868 for good ordinary, being much above what the
trade were disposed to pay. Of Padang 2 300 bags at
auction, only partly disposed at 45s to 463 for good or-
dinary, Icing 3s to 4s cheaper ; the remainder wag taken
in at 47s to 47s 61. 164 bags Manilla from the Cape
sold at 59s for good ord pale. 550 bags St. Domingo,
from the same place have been put up to auction, and all
taken in above the value, viz., at 48a to 51s; 1,600
bags damaged were however disposed of at 37s 6d to
46s per cwt. The stock of Mocha of good quality being
extremely small, prices do not give way, but the grocers
buy with caution, and only clean garbled sorts are in
request. The chief cause of the extreme dulness which
exists in the Coffee market is to be attributed to the late
extensive indirect arrivals, and the principal part of the
stock being still held by the merchants. The arrivals are
2,916 bags Ceylon since la.,t Friday. The Foreign mar-
ket has become quiet ; by private treaty few sales have
been made in Brazil, and none has been offered at auction ;
importers, however, remain firm, and will not sell except-
ing at former rates. Of St. Domingo the supply is still
small. No arrivals since last Friday.
This afternoon there was no improvement in the demand
for Coffee for home use, and the operation, were confined
to the public sales which consisted of 200 bags Ceylon,
500 bags East India, 553 bags Brazil direct, and 775 nags
from the Cape; Ceylon wag taken in above the value, v:z.
at 82s for good ord. Eaat India was also chiefly bought
in ; fair Padang at 45s 6d to 465, ord Sumatra 34s 6d to
353, being previous rates, Brazil sold at full prices; that
imported from the Cape fetched 40s 6d to 41s 6d for fair
and good ord, and that direct 41s to 43s for ord to
fine ord.

sricEs...._Pimento•has be n in good request private 1,
and buyers have been compelled to pay stiffer rates, even
at which some parties will not sell, arrivals being still .44--
trivial, 150 bags are declared for Wednesday. Pepper is
held for full prices, but there has been little demand this I
week privately, and none has been offered at auction • .1
4,800 bags Sumatra are however declared for Tuesday;
Ginger is held firmly, and both East and West India has°
been in fair request, Cloves have brought former rates, --
but there has been less business doing, and 11 casks Am-
boyna at public sale were taken in at Is 4d to Is 5d for good
fair dark bold. In Nutmegs there has been little passing, but
former prices rule ; 22 casks at auction were taken in a!
3s lid for good fair bold Amboyna, and mid at 3s 10d ; all
the parcels of Cassia Lignea offered at reasonable prices
have found ready burs chiefly for export, but extensive
purchases have been prevented in consequence of the high
rates required, the sales this week have been 250 chests,
good and fine quality at 88s to 90s, mid to good mid 845 to
87s, and ord 80s to 82s per cwt, the accounts from the
Continent state that prices ware on the advance ; 220
chests are declared for sale on Thursday."
This afternoon 800 pockets black Pepper, and 274
bags Pimento were offered at auction ; Pepper partly
sold at 4d for light dusty Malabar, being its full value ;
the latter sold at stiff rates, low mid and mid fetched 3d
to 31d per lb.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—. Prices have gene-
rally been supported for West India Rum this week, but
the home trade have purchased cautiously, and for ex-
port there are few orders ; the transactions in Jamaica
have been confined to only 80 puns, 26 to 31 per cent
over proof 6s 2d to 6s 7d, 32 to 36 over 6s 8d to
63:10d, stronger and favourite marks 7s to 7s 3d;
ot Leewards only 120 puns have been sold, proofs at
3s sid to 3s 6d, 2 to 3 per cent over proof 3s 61,
to 3s 7d, 4to 8 over 3s 8d to 3s 9d, East India is 1"
cheaper, 200 puns Calcutta have been sold at 3s 3d for
proof, 100 hbds Mauritius have been disposed of at 3s lid
for 3 tit der procf. The arrivals continue large, and have
amounted to 1,250 puns, &c. since last Friday. The de-
mand for Brandy has been active, both for home use and
exportation ; and prices havel further improved Id per
gallon, sales in Cognac first brands of the vintage of
1836 have been made at 5s 4d in hhds and in Puns
at 5s 2d, 1837 hhds 5s 2d, puns ss, 1838 hhds 514 Puns
4s 10d, 1839 hhds 4s 9d, puns 4s 7d per gallon, and hold-
ers are looking for higher rates, the stock being light, and
there being some probability that Government, ere long,
will reduce the duty. Geneva is rather lower, Is lld to
2s having been accepted for parcels for export ; fine
quality for home use, however, is still worth 2s 4d to
2s 6d per gallon. For British Corn Spirits less demand
has existed ; the distillers, however, will not sell under
Do. Ad, whit.: h.yore seuvrally will not pay more than
108 2d per gallon.
