(From the London New Price Current of STtember 11.)
SUGAIt.-Importers of British Plantation have displayed
firmness this week, and the rates previously established
have been supported both for brown and yellow de.sertp-
tions ; from the grocers there has been a good de nun 1,
particularly for sorts with colour and strength, but ftc
refiners have evinced little disposition to purchase,
and the sales made by them have been trivial ;
the purchases have amounted to 1,300 hhds and;,,:
for the three market days, including 100 hhds Barbadcscs
at auction, which went without spirit, but former prices
were maintained, fine yellow realized 86s to 863 6d, goad
84s Gd to 85s 6d, middling 85s to 84s per cwt The arri-
vals since last Friday have been 3,099 birds, &c., being 400
hhds, &c., less than was received last year during the same
period.
This afternoon importers refused to submit to lower
rates ; but the trade evinced little desire to purchase, and
the demand was limited both from refiners and grocers, the
purchases amounted to only 350 hhds and trcs at the rates
previously established; if the merchants Lad sub nitted to
a slight reduction it would have led to the disposal of
several parcels. The total sales for the week arc 1,650
hhds, &c. ; 100 hhds Barbadoes are advertised for Tuesday.
REFINED. -The home trade have purchased sparingly
of Refitted Good this week, and prices have given way 2s
to 33 per cwt, standard lumps have been disposed of at
1043 Gd to 105 s, good and fine brown lumps 1003 to 104 s,
ordinary 97s to 99s ; Hambro Loaves and Tittlers fine
108; to 1093 6d, good 1063 to 107 s. Treacle, best old
make, 44, to 443 Gd, patent 4ls 6(1 to 423, common 39;
to 403. Bastards, good sorts, have fetched 76s to 783,
ordinary dry quality, 713; per cwt. Pieces, fine qua-
lities, 863 to 88s. Bonded Crushed Sugar 333 6d.
Loaves 141bs at 38s to 38s 61, and 10lbs at 39s to 393 6d.
Treacle at 15;. Pieces and Bastards at 203 to 283.
Dutch Crushed Sugar 31s 3d on board at Amsterdam.
For 25 hhds deliverable at this port, 32; Gd has been paid.
EAST INDIA.-Brown and soft yellow kinds of Bengal
have been less in request, and former rates have not been
supported by Is, but white qualities have been in good de-
mand, and previous prices have been fully maintained.
At auction 3.600 bags were all disposed of ; fine white
at 88s 61 to 893 6d, middling to good 863 to 883, damp
anti damaged 84; Gd to 87; Gd, very low soft brown 613
to 623, rather better colour with more grain 75s per cwt.
Manilla at 25s for middling yellow. Fcr Java full rates
were paid. This afternoon 144 bags Bengal at auction
sold at 68s 6d to 79s 6d for damp brown, being full prices.
Manhiews.-Former rates have been fully supported,
and a good demand has eaisted privately, principally from
the grocers. At auction 1,730 bags sold readily, mid and
good brown at 79s to 80s, mid yellow 82s to 83s, good mid
84; to 81s 6d, good greyish yellow 863 Gd per cwt. Only
one small parcel has been received since our last report,
but three vessels are near at hand with about 20,000 bags ;
this will finish the season's supply. The stock is 87,206
bags less than last year at this period.
FOREIGN. -There has been rather more desire evinced
on the part of shippers to purchase white Havannah, still
the demand has been only partial, the private sales have
been 1,100 boxes middling greyish quality at 343 per cwt.
Yellow is held firmly for former rates, but for shipping
there are few orders, some parcels however have bean
taken for refining under bond at 24s 6d to
26s 63 for ordinary and fine quality. Brown
aorta are wanted for the same purpose, but the supply is
still; short. White kinds of Brazil remain neglected, and
prices have a downward tendency; yellow and brown sorts
however have been in fair request by private treaty, and for-
mer rates have been fully maintained.
COFFEE.-There has been an increased disinclination
evinced on the part of the home trade to purchase clean
description of Nest India this week, and to dispose of
even small parcels holders have been compelled to sub-
mit to a reduction on former rates of 33 to 4s; unclean
sorts, although cffered at a decline on previous prices of 6s
to Bs, have met with but few purchasers ; the operations
have been confined to the public sales, consisting of 265
casks, which went with heaviness, and the principal part
offered was taken in for the want of buyers.
This afternoon there was no improvement in the demand
for Coffee from the home trade, and the operations were
confined to the public sales, consisting of 161 casks Bri..
fish P:antation, 1,416 bags 78 casks Java, 965 bags East
India, 1,382 bags Coffee from the Cape, 16 pockets 28
bales Mocha, and 50 b iga Brazil. The :ales went
off with extreme heaviness, arid ord and unclean sorts both
of East and West India at much lower rates; clean kinds
were only supported by their being taken in ; in the pre-
sent state of the market it is difficult to quote prices;
good pale Java was taken in at 683, and fine in casks at
70s, Brazil imported direct went at 423 6d for dark coloury,
St. Domingo from the Cope 1,100 bags ail sea-damaged
and repacked it bad condition went at 41s Gd to 425, Ber-
bice low mid aad mid coloury unclean 73s 6d to 775, fine
fine ordinary 70s.
OILS.-Since our last report holders of common descrip-
tions of Fish Oils hate displayed firmness, and former
rates have been maintained. Cod, 291. ; Pale Seal, 311.
Southern at 261 103 to 28/, for good and fine quality ;
Sperm, first quality has advanced to 100/; Linseed Oil,
on the spot, at 28s to 283 3d ; Rape, pale at 393 6d, and
brown 38s ; Palm, fine quality at 381 to 381 10;; for East
India Cocoa Nut, 42; paid for gocd quality ; for Olive
prices have improved; Gallipoli at 631, and Spanish at
54/ to 53/ per tun.
This afternoon 233 casks Palm at auction sold at 37/ to
3715 s per tun.
SPICES.-This afternoon the public sales consisted of
113 bags 31 cases Cloves, 67 bags white, and 1,391 bags
black Pepper, 307 bags Bengal, and 50 bags African
Ginger; Cloves partly sold at is for good dark Mada-
gascar, being rather higher; white Pepper went at stiff
prices, ordinary quality at to 8d ; black was all taken
in above market rates, v:z., fair brown Sumatra, but stalky
and dusty, at 3id ; Ginger was sold at 193 for middling
Bengal, being rather higher; African was taken in.
Rice.-Holders of Bengal are still disinclined to take
lower rates in consequence of letters from Calcutta
stating that the quantity shipped for several weeks had
been small, and it was likely to continue .so, owing to
the high freights, but the demand by private treaty
has been limited, and only 1,100 bags have been
offered at auction ; 800 pockets consisted of dusty
yellowish cargo, and were taken in at 10s to 10s 63, the
remainder seood white sold at 143, ord Its Gd, being its
former value. Java is held firmly, but there has been little
doing, the attention of buyers being directed to a public
sale of 6,000 bags declared for Tuesday. Carolina has been
in fair request for home at 34; to 363, and for shipping 22s
to 23s has been paid.
This afternoon there was little desire shown to purchase
East India, and 1,835 bags Bengal at auction sold 3d
cheaper, mid and good bold white went at 13; to 14s
per cwt.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS,-There hasbeen a steady
demand for Jamaica and strong descriptions of Leeward
Island Rum this 'neck, at full former rates; common sorts
of Leeward; are however dull of sale, and prices have
given way Id per gallon, proof in small parcels selling at
33 6d, Calcutta at 3s 4d for proof. For new descriptions of
Brandy prices improved Id. per gall., old qualities a similar
improvement, sales in Cognac, first brands of the vintage
of 1836 have been made at 53 3d in hhds, and in puns
53 ld ; 1837, hhds 5s Id, puns 49 Ild ; 1838, hhds 4s lid,
puns 4s 9d ; 1839, hhds 4s Bd, puns 4s Gd. Geneva for
export at 23 to 2s Id, and for small parcels of fine quality
for home use 2; 4d to 2; 6d has been paid. British Corn
Spirits have been in excellent request at 10s 3d per gallon.
TEA -The accounts received from China being of a
very warlike nature, have caused the trade to be desirous
to purchase Tea, and have also given holders more confi-
dence as to the future prospect of prices ; for free trade
there has been an extensive demand by private contract, from
both the trade and speculators, and rather higher prices
have been paid for all descriptions ; but Congou
has been the most in request ; the public sales
which occurred yesterday, consisting of 8,360 pkgs, at-
tracted a large number of the trade; about a third part
was disposed of with avidity at an advance on former
market rates of id to Id per lb; the remainder was takes
in much above the former prices, the principal part of the
Congou offered was of excellent quality, the bulk of the
Tea disposed of was taken by the large houses.

trade attended in large numbers, and were very desirous to
buy, but the merchants were unwilling to sell, and all the
