SUGAR. —To-day the quantity of East India and Metal-
tins Sugar submitted to public competition being very large,
and exceeding the wants of the refiners and grocers, whilst

sorts are fully as high as last .quoted. The low and raja
sorts of Green are attracting attention on account of the low
rates that prevail. In the better qualities a good deal has
been done, but not at higher rates.
RICE.- For Bengal the market has assumed a quiet aP:
pearance, and the rates accepted are rather under those that
existed previously. Madras has been operated in with
