(From the London New Price Current of March 19 )
SUGAR.—Although the transactions in West India Musco-
vadoes have been on rather a more extended scale this week,
still the market has been in a dull state, prices of other descrip-
tions of raw Sugar being much Itw:er in proportion to those of
British Plantation, cause both grocers and refiners to el:c-
rate wi,li much caution in this description, and the total quantity
sold during the three market cl:lys has net exceeded 160 hhds
and trcs, end it is still—difficult to quote accurate prices ;
a board of St. :Kitts has been soli—via., 8 liLds good
middling yellow at 765, end 2 hhds good brig!it, brown
725, but this was allowed to be above the general run
of prices, good brown St. Lucia were taken at 68s, ansl rather
better greyish at 70s, and for strong middling grey Demerara
68s have been., refused ; on comparison these prices will be
found to he still everal shillings above those current for
Mauritius and Bengal Sugar. To-day both grocers and re-
finers purchased rather more freely of West India, and prices
have become more settled ; good and fine brown Jamaica sold
to-day at 68s to 70s; prices of British Plantation, however,
left oil' much the same as those of Friday last; they rule, how-
evar, 4s above those of Bengal and Mauritius.
REFINED.—The borne trade have purcha>ed more freely of
Refine d goods this week, and a fair business has been trans-
acted at prices equal to those of Friday last, sales of Standard
Lumps have been made at 92s 6d to 93s per cwt. ; Treacle,
common at 30s to 31s, pa ent 31s to 355, best
old make and golden syrup 37s to 38s per cwt.; Bastards,
best sort, is not w,,rth more thin 585 ; common dark kinds
have been selling at 45s to 48s per cwt. Fine pieces fetched
yss to 795. For bonded crushed Sugar rather lower rates have
been submitted to, small parcels of first quality at 32s 3d per
cwt. Leaves 101bs at 37s to 383. and 14ibs 36s 6d to 375. per
cwt. Treacle at 14s 6d. In Bastards and Pieces few sales
have been made, 15s to 2Z)s are the quotations. Dutch Crushed
Sugar at 313 on board.

To-day there was a good demand for Refined Goods from
the home trade, and prices have an upward tendency • Stand-
ard Lumps are firm at 93s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar
first quality at 325, sellers 32s 3d per cwt.
IA URITIUS. —This afternoon there was,an increased de-
sire en the part of both grocers and refiners to purchase, and
privately several parcels were disposNl of at improved rates,
making the advance on the rates of Friday la=t 2s to 3s per cwt.
No public sale is yet declared.
EAST 1 N DIA. —ll,,lders of Bengal haee displayed more
firmness this week, in white sorts, particularly in fine, 3s above
the rates of Friday last, in brown and yellow sorts prices
have improved 2s per cwt. Siam at 24s to 25s 6d
for ordinary to good middling white. Alan illa at
former rates. Java sound taken in at stiff rates—viz., good
greyish ye'low at 23s 6d to 245,' low to middling 22s to 22s 6d,
washed went at 20s to 21s ; twenty cases Penang were taken in
at 18s for low ord foxy brown.
This afternoon there was a fair demand for all descriptions
of Bengal by private treaty, and a further advance of Is per
cwt was paid.
• FOltElGN.—Prices remain firm for Brazil. Middling soft
white Pernambuco at 24s for export. Bahia brown at 24s 6d ;
and white at 245. Yellow Havannah at former rates. White
is held firmly.
IVoLassEs.-TTbe demand for West India has been dull,
and the purchases are not worth enumerating, prices, however,
have undergone no further depression ; the supply is by no
me,..ns large.
COFFEE.—TII:! home trade have evincrd little desire to pur-
chase British Plantation Coffee this week, and the de-
n and has been limited for all descriptions; importers, however,
