(From the London New Price Current of April 10.)
SirsAa.—A good disposition has been shown on the
part of both grocers and refiners to purchase West India I,
Muscovadocs Sugar. The latest prices paid show an
advance on those of this day week of Gd to is per cwt.
At public sale 68 hhds, 5 tierces, 1 barrel Barbadoes
sold with spirit at stiff prices; good yellow fetched 69s to
70s, middling to good middling 67s to 68s 6d per cwt.
This afternoon there was an increased inquiry from re-
finers as well as grocers, and a large business was done
considering the short supply ; 500 hhds were disposed of
at stiffer prices, making the rise for the week Is, and 1,150
hhds and trcs disposed of.
REFlNED.—Refined Goods at prices 6d above those of
last Friday. Standard Lumps in large parcels at 81s,
Tittlers, 82s a 87s, low brown lumps 775, good and fine
78s a 795, patent goods 80s per cwt. Pieces, good and
fine descriptions 67s a 735. Bastards prices have slightly
improved. Treacle, common at 33s 6d a 335 9d, and pa-
tent and the best old make at 34s a 36s ; Bonded Crushed
Sugar at rather higher rates, 34s 9d has been paid to wait
a few weeks, for immediate delivery no parcels are to be
had under 355. Loaves 38s a 39s Gd paid for 10 and
14 lbs Hambargh. Treacle at 13s 6d. Bastards and
Pieces have been in good request, sales in the former made
at 1.9 s a 20s, and in the latter at 23s a 28s. Dutch
Crushed Sugar at 81s on board at Amsterdam. For a
cargo expected here in a few days 33s is required.
To-day the grocers bought largely of Refined Goods,
paying als. to 111 s 6d for standard lumps.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was an increased de-
sire shown to purchase, but the advanced rates required
checked business, and 1,375 bags at public sale were
nearly all taken in is above former rates, via., fine yellow
at 68s to 70s, good 66s to 675, middling to good middling
64s to 65s 6d, low middling 63s 6d per cwt.
This afternoon Bengal was in active request by the
grocers ; 1,200 bags white, 176 bags damp brown, and 20
casks sound quality were offered at public sale, and sold
with spirit 6d to Is above former rates ; good white fetched
69s to 693 63, damps 625, washed 67s to 68s, middling
damp brown fetched 51s. 6d to 52s 6d, one lot better qua-
lity 55s 6d, the casks fetched 55s for bright quality. Ma-
nilla is more sought after 's), the refiners, and former rates

paid.

good strong quality at 25s 6d. Porto Rico at late rates.
White kinds of Brazil have been only in limited request by
private treaty, but previous prices have been supported;
brown sorts have been in steady demand, and the advanced
rates previously established have been maintained.
COMEE.—The low and unclean descriptions of British
Plantation continue extremely dull of sale, and prices still
remain uncertain. This afternoon the home trade pur-
chased rather more freely of Coffee by private contract,
and prices have become more settled, 70s a 758 has been
' paid for mid and good Java, 90s a 92s for ord and good
ord Ceylon, and 135 s for good mid Jamaica, and the mar-
ket is far from active : at auction 42 bales Mocha, 6 casks
Demerara, 200 hags Brazil were put up; Mocha sold at
its full value, viz., at 123 s for very common mixed green,
and good yellow at 1335; Demerara sold at 90s 6d for
unclean ragged ; Brazil went at 45s a 48s for good and
fine ordinary, being its full value.
Tsi.—On Monday accounts were received from China,
stating that the Chinese Government had issued an edict,
prohibiting the importation into their ports of British goods
of any kind, whether in native or in foreign ships, requiring
a band from the masters of any vessel entering the port to
trade that it does not contain goods transhipped from any
British vessel, and consenting to the confiscation of the ship
and cargo should anything British be discovered on board.
Lin, the Commissioner, was in high favour with the Emperor,
who fully approved of the course he has pursued towards the
English, and there was not the least foundation for the re-
port that he had been lowered in rank. On the part of
tal:t. Elliot there had appeared some desire to place affairs
on an a„:_icable footing; but Lin was quite averse to this,
and stated this!' the edict stopping the trade for ever with
the English stiouLl continue in force. In India warlike
ins
.continued. The dates were
preparations against C::

above was to produce much desire on the
dpayar,taorifd thine
trade to purchase on that and the follovOng
Company's Congou a large business was tr,znsactad for
cash at 2s 5d to 2s sd, and a good many contracts were
made for short and long prompts at 2s 6d to /8 70,
which was an advance on the rates established towards
the close of last week of Id to lid per lb. For Free
Trade Tea a good demand prevailed for actual consump-
tion as well as on speculation, and prices improved Id.
In cash parcels a large business was done at 2a 3/d to
2., 4d for common Free Trade Congou, and 2s 4d to 2s 4-!4d
for ordinary Twankay. A good many parcels were dis-
posed of for prompts at 2s 5d for the former, and the latter
at 2s s&d, at which rates several parties were not disposed
to sell, but during the last few days there has been less
life in the market, and the transactions in Free Trade
have been rather limited, and chiefly confined to parcels
for cash, but prices generally remain firm, For Com-
pany's Congou the demand has much abated, and prices at
one time fell to 2s 2id for cash, but have since rallied to
2s. 3.1 d per lb. The future state of prices of Tea, par-
ticularly if there should be a long stoppage of trade, rill
mainly depend on the quantity of Tea that is already ship-
ped and in progress of shipment ; by some it is stated at
7,000,0001b5., but the letters arc mostly silent on this subject,
and this causes holders of Tea to be very timid, besides caus-
ing the dealers to buy with caution. It is reported that
the Thomas Coutts has begun to take in her homeward
cargo. The Royal Saxon, it is said, has succeeded in
getting up to Whampoa. The Frederick Huth has ar-
rived from Hong Kong with 50 chests, 849 half cheats,
300 boxes. 1,448 tencatty boxes Caper. 38 boxes Sou-
chong, 138 boxes Orange Pekoe ; and the Pekoe with
6,500 packages Tea.
To. day there was not much desire shown to purchase
Free Trade Tea, and the transactions were on a small
scale, and a heavy prompt falling due compelled some par-
ties to sell at earlier rates for cash, and low Congous were
disposed of at 2s 2d a 24 2-d, and ordinary Twankay at
23 3d a 2s 31d ; but at these rates not many parcels were
offering, and, considering the large quantity of money
required to pay for Tea, holders display much firmness,
and the nearest price for common Congou is 2s 3d, and
Twankay 2s 4d for cash. For prompts few sales were
made, but ordinary Congoue were not offered under 2s 4d,
and Twankay 2s sd. In Company's Congou there was
' little passing, buyers at 2s 3d for cash, but few sellers under
2s 31c1 per lb. It is calculated that if all the Tea ships
lying at Macao could get cargoes, they could not bring
more than 14,400,000 lbs. of Tea.
This afternoon the demand for free trade Tea was
limited for cash, and for prompts there are few buyers. In
Company's Congou there was little passing, the nearest
prices at the close of the market for cash to which the
business was chiefly confined was common free trade
Congou 2i 2d, Twankay 2a 31d, and Company's Congou
2s 3d per lb, at these rates there were few buyers : none
of the catalogues for the next sale have been issued.
