SUGAR. —To-day, although further reduced rates were sub-
mitted to for Foreign and Colonial Sugar, still no material
increase occurred in the home or export demand, and mer-
chants are yet willing sellers. 01 West India Muscovado
the quantity sold in the private tn.., ket unwonted to
320 tilids and trcs. although bunter reduced rat s were ac-
cepted, making :he decline in prices ice last Friday Is to

Is 6d per cwt:
REFINED.—To-day RAtied goas were sparingly dealt in
by the home trade, although standard lumps could be ob-
tained at 635, and brown grocery at 61s 6d to 62s per cwt.
The value of Bonded crushed .Sugar is 335, but few buyers
are to be met with.
MAURITIUS.—AIthough importers have submitted to a
further reduction in prices of is per cwt, still it hasoccasioned
no increase in the demand for either grocery or refining pur-
poses. By private contract the purchases made in all
descriptions have been to a small extent only, and a public
sale of 3,890 bags, 19 cases, and 64 tierces went off with
heaviness.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar
offered at public sale amounted to 4,559 bags;
When nearly
the whole found buyers, in consequence of holders submitting
to a further decline in prices of 6d, making the fall for the
week Is 6d to 2s per cwt.

FOREIGN.—This afternoon, at public sale, 209 bhda and
100 barrels of Porto Rico Sugar were sold at fair market
rates.

MotAssEs.—Only a moderate business has been transacted
in West India this week, the purchases not exceeding 200
puns; but, at present, no further decline can be quoted in
the value.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of any
kind of Coffee, whilst the purchases made by private were
extremely limited by exporters and the home trade. The
value of good and real good ordinary Native Ceylon is 37s

to 38s per cwt.
COCOA.—West India has been operated in with more free-
dom this week, and the rates paid are rather above those
that existed previously, whilst the supply is on the decrease.
Of Trinidad several parcels have been sold privately.
TEA. —Although Congou can be obtained upon previous
reduced terms, and in some cases rather undtr, still the
amount of business transacted has been of little moment in
all kinds. Puuchong is dull of sale. The trade have been
induced to take large quantities of the inferior and medium
kinds of green, owing to the low rates that are accepted. In
the value of good and fine there is little variation to notice,
but only a small amount of business has been concluded.

RICE:—To-day there was a greater desire manifested to
operate in all sorts of East India Rice; at public sale 4,281
' bags of Bengal were offered, all sold with spirit at an advance
on former rates of 3d to 6d per cwt. Privately large parcels
were disposed of on the spot and for arrival.
SmcEs.—Pimento, at present, is not much wanted, and the
rates taken are rather under those that existed previously.
Ginger is much wanted, For Cassia Lignea the inquiries
have increased. In black Pepper few purchases have been
made by private treaty this week, and fur the inferior kinds
rather lower prices have been accepted; but clean sorts are
held for the former value. For Nutmegs former rates are in-
sisted upon; but few contracts have been entered into pri-
vately by exporters or the home trade. For Mace quotations
are sustained, but the demand has been less active privately.
SPIRITS.—The arrivals of Rum have increased since this
day week; and amounted to 800 casks of West, and 200
casks East India; whilst large parcels of every kind are
near at hand—holders in consequence are willing to
realise, and have submitted to further reduced rates,
still without causing any material increase in the
demand. Although Jamaica is offered at a further reduc-
tion in prices of 2d to 3d; or at a decline from the highest
point of the market of 84 to is per gallon, still all qualities
have been operated on with caution by shippers and the home
trade : the total quantity disposed of for the week
not exceeding 250 puncheons. An opinion gene-
rally prevails that Rum will further decline in value,
although the new duties are in operation, as prices are highly
remunerating to importers. Brandy is offered upon further
reduced terms, still the quantity taken by exporters and the
home trade has been small, whilst the stock is yet on the
increase, and several arrivals are near at hand. Geneva is
little wanted for exportation, and prices are on the decline.
For British Corn Spirits the demand is yet good.
SALTTZTIM—EngIish Refined has been largely dealt in,
and prices are very firm. Rough is wanted by exporters, and
the rates offered are rather above those that previously pre-
vailed; but the supply of all descriptions is small, and none
has been offered at auction.
OILS.—The quantity of Olive Oil purchased by exporters
and the home trade has been to a small extent only since
our last report, although there are sellers upon further re-
duced terms. Rape Seed little wanted, and offered upon re-
duced terms. Linseed Oil at present cannot be obtained
upon lower tertes. For Palm previous rates are insisted
upon, but shippers and the home trade operate with caution.
Cocoa Nut has been spari: gly dealt in, but in consequence
of the scants' supply prices keep high. The arrivals of Fish.
Oils are on -the increase, but at present little variation oc-
curred in prices. Cod met with little attention. For Southern
few buy era are to be met with. For Sperm the market is in
a quiet state, and prices are on the decline.
Tseeow.—Although reduced rates have been accepted for
Russian on the spot, the quantity purchased by soapmakers
and chandlers:
has been limited. For delivery. in the last
three months of the year the demand has been good, but
there is a desire to sell fine Petersburgh Yellow Candle at 45s
to 45s 6d per cwt. Home made is-plentiful, and the demand
being limited, there are sellers at the reduced rate of 48s nett
cash. Other sorts of Tallow met with little attention.

Protessor Holloway—Sir : I beg to acquaint you that your pills have
effected a cure of a disorder in my liver and stomach all the most
eminent of the faculty. at home and all over the continent, had not
been able to effect ; nay. not ever the waters of Carlsbad or Ma-

Determination of blood to the head, apoplexy, &c.,
effectually prevented by the occasional use of Frampton's
Pill of Health, which, by strengthening the action of the
stomach, and promoting a healthy and regular digestion of
the food, prevents a recurrence of those symptoms of this
alarming disorder, giddiness, oppression of the brain, singing
noise in the ear, head-ache, &c. They are an excellent
aperient, without griping or prostration of strength, create
appetite, relieve languor, and invigorate the spirits; while, to
the free liver or sedentary, they ofler great and important
advantages. Sold by all venders of medicines. Price Is. led.

NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION RAILWAT.—We
understand that the Wath and Tebay contracts have been
well let, under the engineer's estimate. The tender for the
Wath contract amounts to little more than 5,0001. The
works will be commenced without delay ; active operations
are in progress for this purpose.

the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the
botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and
use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately, the
mulant, and the bear's grease as a nourishes. If anya

Ross and Son's, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first

pot, or the chances are they are obtaining a spurious ar-
ticle. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than
useless.

ALARMING FIRE NEAR SOllO-sQUARE.—Yesterdity
morning, shortly after one o'clock, a fire of a serious nature
broke out in the immense pile of premises occupied by Mr.
Hatubleton, an emery and glass-paper manufacturer, Mr.
Conway, a picture- frame maker, and Messrs. Bevington, the
organ-builders, situate in Bramwell's-yard, Rose-street, Soho-
square. The flames originated in the upper story belonging
to the first-named party, and were not discovered until they
had penetrated the roof and windows. By great exertion*
the firemen succeeded in confining the conflagration to the
upper portion of the premises. The damage done, however,
is very considerable, for the greater portion of Mr. Hamble-
ton's stock-in-trade is destroyed, and the lower workshops
and their contents are severely damaged by water. The cause
of the disaster could not be learned.
GRAIN.—We understand, from pretty good autho-
rity. that there is at this moment more grain, of one kind
and another, in Glasgow, than there i,... in Loudon and Liver-
pool and Hull combined. What a mighty city Glasgow ham
of late become!—Scotch Reformer's Gazette. _ _
