COLONIAL.

SUGAR.--The market for British Plantation continues
steady, 700 hhds having been sold without material alte-
ration from previous rates. The public sales have com-
prised 3,400 bags Bengal, 300 bags Madras, and
1,800 baskets Java. The Bengal was chiefly
disposed of at a reduction of is to 2a per cwt ;
low grey to mid yellow Benares. at 34s to 37s ;
with low to good white at 39s to 45s 6d ; but
ir the Madras was bought in at 30s, being about the
relative value, and the Java was mostly taken in, a few
lots only being realised at 37s to 39s for brown; with
grey and low white at 4ls to 43s 6d, which are easier
terms. Privately a cargo of Java, of about 500 tons,
has been sold afloat for delivery here, but the
price has not transpired. The quantity of British
Plantation landed in Landon this year, to the 30th
ultimo, was 96,024 hogsheads 13,451 tierces, against
67,742 hogsheads 8,888 tierces to the corresponding
period of last year. The consumption has been
74,604 hhds 10,414 tierces, being an increase of about
4,000 hhds and 1,000 tierces compared with last year,
The stock is 27,776 hhds 3,745 tierces, against 9,779
hhds 1,124 tierces, at the corresponding date of 1846.
The consumption of Havannah and other foreign sorts,
as well as of Maui itius, shows au increase ; but in Ben-
gal and East India there is a decrease.

COFFEE.-638 bags 36 casks Plantation Ceylon at
auction consisted chiefly of small lots out of condition,
which sold at low prices, whilst the sound portion was
withdrawn above the market value, with the exception
of a few lots of fine quality, which brought fully pre-
vious rates. The stock of British Plantation in London
is larger than at this time last year; that of foreign is
smaller, as well as that of East India. The consumption
exhibits no increase upon the whole.
Rust.—The stock in London on the 30th ult. was
17 791 puns, 4,011 hhds, against 13,629 puns, 2,387
hhds at the same date last year. The quantity landed
shows an increase, but there has also been a decided in
crt ase in the consumption.
lircE.-3,372 bags Bengal at auction was held for
higher prices, good white being taken in at 13s 6d, and
yellow cargo at 11s 6d per cwt.
TALLow.—P. Y. C. is 41s per cwt on the spot, and
Town 49a 6d per cwt.
TEA.—The market is steady, but the public sales
coining on check business.

TOBACCO.—There has been less business done during
the last month than was expected, sales not having ex-
ceeded 860 hhds. The trade purchased almost as in
need, and demand for export having been much less
animated than was generally anticipated, the very late
importation has also influenced many purchasers to
postpone their usual supplies, and it is therefore
reasonable to presume that transactions would
have been much more extensive had the im-
portation net been delayed to so late a period, and
buyers being deprived of making their usual assort.
ments. Good and fine descriptions may be considered
stationary as respects prices, but mid to ord, both Vir-
ginia and Kentucky, are rather more in favour of buyers.
Imports, 1,858 hhds. Deliveries, 1,367 hhds, against
1.707 in the corresponding month of 1846. Stock,
27,804 hhds; against 32,826 hhds in 1846.
