COLONIAL.

Si:aux.—The market for West India sorts has been dull,
and the limited supply causes prices to rule too high in pro-
portion to other descriptions, of which thereis a sufficient
quantity on offer.
REFINED.— Standard lumps have been 6586 d to 668 per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-285 bags 36 trcs Bengal at auction partly

to 51s.

FOZEIGN.—A good deal bas been done in these descrip-
tion, though holders generally have been firm. Much inter-
est was excited by a sale of 140 hhds 14 brls St. Croix,
which was very superior in quality, and being the first im-
portation comes rather into rivalry with British West India
samples. Mid quality brought 53s to 54s 6d, and very fine
strong grainy yellow went as high as 58s to 60s. Ham-
nab, 2,674 boxes were nearly all taken in at 63s to 64s
for white, duty paid, and 31s to 34s for low to good
white in bond. Some of the good and line sold at
508 to 535. Brazil, 50 casks 60 brls 3,753 bags, duty paid,

to 54s 6d for good and fine, and 48s to 498 6d for mid ; white
Trinidad de Cuba, 354 boxes, was taken in at 59s to 6ls for
good and fine, and 674 boxes yellow partly sold at 50s to 53s

(From the London New Price Current of March 26.)
Sus:wt.—To-day a further fall ensued in the value of
nearly every sort of Colonial Sugar, the quantity brought to
market being more than the home trade could take off. Of
Nest India Muscovado, the small quantity only of 200 hhds
and tierces found buyers at lower rates, making the total
sales tor the week only 500 hlids and tierces, and the fall is
during that time.
REFINED —To day no further rise took place in the value
of Refined Sugar, but all sorts are wanted for home ti,e at
former rates and the supply is scanty. Bonded Crushed
Sugaris with uitliculty to be obtained under 37s per cwt for
first quality, so scanty is the supply, and large the orders on
hand unexecuted.
Mkuninus.—This afternoon two parcels of Mauritius
Sugar, amounting to 11,429 bags 339 casks and 90 trcs were
submitted to public competition, a fair prop ,rtion of which
consisted of strong working descriptions; for even these
there was less demand, and pi ices fell Is per cwt ; yellow sorts
met with little attention, and the sales taken were Is to Is 6tl
per cwt under those of Tuesday's sale, on brown the tall Is.
The chief part of the Sugar, however, sold.

EABT INDIA.—This afternoon 818 bags and 76 chest' f
Bengal Sugar were offered at public sale, and sold at al!'_„
31
the former value. Madras is little wanted, and 1,413 OW
at auction were taken in at moderate rates. •
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale, and Pri,,;
vately only 150 cases of brown Macao were sold at 230"
per cwt.
MotassEs.—By private treaty there is only a limited t
mand for West India ; at public sale 171 puns Demerara ll,'
taken in at 23s for middling quality; 125 puns of Barbel
at 25s for good ; 58 puns of St Kitts at 235, and 68 PO
hhds St Vincents at 245, being about the former value. fee
COFFIE.—This afternoon two parcels of Ceylon Clai
were submitted to public competition, and amounted to I,o_l
bags. There was little desire shown to purchase, and aP.
only sold at a fall on former rates of 6d to ls.
.wtiOd
TEA.—AII kinds are cheaper than they were at this
in 1846, notwithstanding the large consumption. Conc.
met with little attention, although there are sellers at allibs
rate rates. Pouchong is little wanted. For Souchong_.,.
demand has been limited. The better descriptions of Tolt;
Hyson have been operated in with more freedom, and,,
parcels sold were at full rates. Of the lower sorts of u`;'"st
,arge parcels have been sold, owing to the low rates tb
have been taken ; in good and fine a fair business has pc'''.
done at about late prices.
Rim—To-day the market was in a dull state for Fe'el
India Rice; and 1,304 bags Madras at auction were tag
in Is under former prices, viz., good yellow rather dastl'
Bengal grain, 18s to 18s 6d per cwt. filet
SPlCES.—Although Black Pepper can be obtained redo
under previous rates, still all qualities have been operate for
with caution privately for borne consumption as well essis
exportation. White met with little attention by Fr"o
treaty; at publicsale 11 bags were sold at aid to
Cassia Lignea prices rule firm, the demand u 7.01
good and supply small. The arrivals keep sniallt•o
the stock is less than last year ; but the delivr:b
are smaller, and prices are fully as high. The uisfyl
rates insisted upon for Pimento caused the horns
export demand to be limited this week by private try
At public sale 40 bags were taken in at 5%d for mid re;
coarse, 51/0 was offered. For Ginger the market is les
proving ; the demand privately has been good for all N

ei°ol
For utmegs the home demand is good, and exporters to
been buyers to a fair extent. Mace is wanted; also
better sorts of Cloves. In the value of Cinnamon there,
no variation to notice; the interior and coarse sorts are /1,0
glected, but.good and fine are in fair request, and the suPr'
is small. h. et
FRUlT.—There has been -several fresh arrivals liqeqrsio

Currants, three cargoes of Chesme and Red Smyrna Rai-get
and a cargo of Valencia Raisins from Liverpool ; the rusta
has been rather quiet this week, the exporters taking o>o
small parcels of Currants. Or old Red Smyrna Raisins
sales have been made at 31s 6d to 31:s for shipping.
Smut-ca.—The nearest value of Leeward Island ie

transacted has been trifling. East India is heavy of EP'
posal, and can be obtained at 3s 4d for proof with certifiell
