acted in West India Sugar, although there were sellers at a
further reduction in prices for all descriptions, making the
fall for the week ls.

more freely supplied, produced a fall in the value to the ex-
tent of Is. per cwt.
CoFFEE.—The market has a firm appearance for West
India, a fair quantity of the lower description:, having been
disposed of by private treaty at fully former rates; the
better qualities are much wanted at the previous currency,
but of such the supply is trifling.
MOLASSES.—For West India further reduced rates having
been taken, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom,
and several parcels of good quality have been sold. The stiff
rates insisted upon for Bengal Treacle operated against
business privately, and 67 hhds at public sale of fine quality
were taken in at 27s per cwt. For Honey, prices are on the
decline.

the town and country trade at the former currency. Of

2d, and tine at 2s 4d to 2s 10d. In Green Tea of good and
fine quality a large business has been transacted, and at
firm rates.

COCOA.—A considerable increase has taken place in the
demand for Foreign, and a rise in prices of 2s per cwt oc-

tale, of which a considerable portion has been taken by the

taken by Messrs. Lemon Hart and Co., of London-street, at
a high figure. The market fyr Jamaica has been in a tran-
quil state all the week; holders have submitted to rather
lower rates. Demerara has been in good request, and
