SUGAR.—To-day the market for West India exhibited a
tranquil appearance, both grocers and refiners operated with
caution. The private purchases amounted to only 100 hhds
and trc, and prices must agaiu be qu,ited fully 6d lower, ex-
cepting for the best yellow sorts, which have brought former
rates.
At public sale 120 casks 29 trs Barbadoes, and 89 hhds 4
barrels Demerara were offered; the former principally found
buyers, but the biddings were languid, and prices gave way 6d
to Is per cwt, excepting for the best yellow sorts, which main-
tained former rates, fine yellow went at 67s to 67s 6d, good
64s 6d to 655, good middling 63s to 643, middling 60s to 6'.is 6d,
low 58s 6d to 595, very ordinary heavy 57s 6d; the latter
taken in above the value, good strong grey at 603 to 61s 6d,
and middling 58s to 598 per cwt.
The stock of British plantation Sugar is now 23,060 hhds
and trcs, which is 7,413 more than last year at the same period.
The Stock of Mauritius is 100,189 bags, being 84,727 more
than last year. The stock of Bengal is 90,462 bags, which is
72,607 more than last year. The delivery of British Planta-
tion Sugar for the last week was 1,776 hhds and trcs, being
63 less than during the same time last year. The delivery of
the Mauritius was 9,235 bags, which is 5,330 bags mote than
last year. The delivery of Bengal was 5,692 bags, being
3,693 more than during the corresponding week last year.

of Refined Goods, and lower rates were submitted to. Stan-
dard Lumps selling at 87s per cwt, the supply is increasing.

the finest quality. Loaves heavy of sale.

prior to the accounts alluded to above. Company's Congou,
which fetched 2s 9d on Tuesday Kist, has been aisposed of cur-
rently at 2s stl cash ; but yesterday, at the close of the market,

- -
sellers could•not be fousd under 2s 51(1 per lb ; at existing
rates some of the merchants, however, are not disposed to sell,
csnsiderino• the accounts to be of a diversified and unsatisfactory
nature, and that the truce concluded with the Chinese will ho
of short duration ; at the same time, the trade have generally
made up their minds to cease to operate until the arrival of the
Overland Mail, which may be looked for towards the close of
next week. The deliveries of Tea at this port have been
440,00011)s during the past week.
To-day the market fur free trade Tea was in a dull state,
and few purchases were made in either black or green sorts,
but holders do not appear disposed to submit to any further re-
duction; 2s 4d is the value of ordinary sound Congou cash,
2s 4id to 2s 5d for good ordinary, and 2s 46 for common
'fwankay. The speculative market was inactive; Company's
Congou at 2s 54d to 2s 51d cash, but on 'Change there were
