IltrM, BRANDY, IND HOLLANDS.—In Leeward lslan
Rum large purchases have been made since we last wrote, and
prices have further improved id to Id per gallon ; strong
kinds sell the most freely, the sales are 500 puncheons, proofs
at 3s 8d to 3s Bd, 2 to 6 per cent overproof 3s Sd to 3s 1014,
7 to 12 over 3s Ild to 4s 2d, 14 to 18 over 4s 3d to 4s (id, 20 to
25 over 4s ad to 4s 10d, 26 to 33 over 5s to 5s 4d, .;35 to 35
over 5s 6d to 5s 9d. Jamaica has been in good rtstus.st, j
and 200 puncheons have been disposed of at hiA hot
prices by Id for 28 to 35 per cent. overproof 5a 8d to 6s h.'s
been given, 6s Id to 6s 3d for 36 to 38 overproof, and 6s 44 to
6s 6d for stronger and favourite marks. The stocks in first
hands is very small, particularly of fine Jamaica; some parties
will not sell proof Leewards under 3s 9d. For East India 10
per cent. overproof 3s 9d to 3s 10d is asked, at which small
sales have been made. In Brandy a fair business has been
transacted at full prices, Cognac first brands, of the vintage
of 1336 have been disposed of at 5s 3d to is 6d in put*
and hhds, ditto 1937 5s 2d to 51 bd, ditto 1838 5s to 51 3d,
ditto 16394 s lid to 5s 24; there are buyers to sense extant
rather under these rates, but no sellers thereat. Geneva has
been taken sparingly, and Is 11 d to 2s accepted for shipping
quality. British Corn Spirits sell freely at 10: per gallon. To-
slay several purchases were made in Jamaica and Leeward
Island Ruin, and at the rates quoted above holders were firth ;
still without arrivals. In Brandy a fair business was tran.,
acted at fo..mer prices.

TEA —The r e was an improved demand for Free Tradt Tea •
last week, and prices slightly advanced; large purchases were
made in ordinary Twankay for ersti at 2s 64d. Common Free
Trade Congou sold lsrgely at '29 44d to 2s 15d, for money, and at
these rates many parties refused to sell. For prompts, hew-
ever, there was not much disposition manifested to do basin's's,
still the transactions were oa a more extended scale, and mike-
prices were paid, ordinary Congou realised 2s 6d to 26 7d, mid
Twankay 2s 74d to 2s Bd. The operations in Conipany's Cn-
gou were to some extent, and prices rallied to 2s 84tto •t„ led;
money and prompts. The news from Canton is looked for with
more anxiety than has been the case since the stoppage of trade
with this country and China.
To-day the trade came forward with increased freedom, ca-
pitalists were also anxious to make investments, and a large be-
siness was transacted in Free Trade forscash at stiffer prices-for
common Twankay, which sold carrently to 2. 64d tole 7d,
and it is difficult to make further purchases, excepting- at Wie
latter figure; common Congous are held for previous metes,
and large purchases were made at 2s. *1 to 64d, and _cog ,
ordinary not better than Fukien Bo ea at 2* 4.d per lb.
For prompts there are not many buyers; still the demand is
improving, and several purchases were wade :n erd twankay it
2s 8d a 27 14d, and Congos at 2s 64d to 2s 7id ; at' these rates
many of the large holders will not sell. The small quaostiti
declared for sale has given buyers as well as sellers a inuala bet-
ter opinion of the article. In Company's Congou a good Wally
purchases were made at 2s 9d to 2s bid for cash, and 24 lQd
a2s lid pith prompts. The overland mail has not yet ar-
rived, and is looked for with much anxiety by all parties am-
nected with the Tea trade. Other ships of war have keesa or-
dered out to Canton.

This afternoon a- a late hour a great deal of business was
doing in Tea, and prices left off at 2s 7d a 2s 7d for ordinary
clean Tvrankay for cash, 2.3 6d a 2s 61,0 for orl Wean Congou,
and 2s 9fr a 9s 111,0 for Company's for money and prompts ;
at these rates some difficulty was experienced ►n buying. The
deliveries of Tea last week were 329,0001b5. 100 news Iron►
China.

SUGAR.—The grocers were free buyers of British Eanta-
tion Sugar during the past week, particularly of bright yel-
low descriptions, but a large business was prevented in conse-
quence of the small and indifferent assortment at Alarket ; for
refining purposes 1 here was a good business done, considering the
few samples exhibited for sale ; the total purchases since this
day week have been 1,490 hhds and tierces, and the acitance 6d
to Isper cwt.
This afternoon the quantity of Sugar on sale being small and
indifferent, together with 'most of the merchants not being in-
clined to sell, excepting at advanced prices, caused the private
sales in Refining as well as in Grocery sorts, to be on a small
scale, amounting to only 2:10 hhds and tierces, .at prices fully
equal to those of Friday, and in some cases rather above : if
there had been an assortment at market suitable for the want@
of the trade a larger business would have been done, and full
prices paid, the stocks in the hands of the dealers being short.
There is no arrival, and the deliveries from the warehouses
are large.
At public sale 104 hhds Barbadoes were only partly disposed
of 6d above former rates, fine fetched 71s a 7ls esd, good

previous rates ; the stock held by the merchants is very small
only 15 tierces Demerara have been offered at auction, and sold
at 105 s a 1083 for fine ordinary unclean, and 92a a 9.9 s for
