the prices paid were 6d higher ; fine yellow Jamaica was
sold at 88a, and good 87s per cwt. Several vessels have
arrived duriug the past week, still the siock is not half
cf what it was et this time in 1849. and the difference
in the importations this as compared with that of last year
even exceede that quantity.--The weekly deliveries have
again been less than they were in 1839—this is not to be
wondered at, considering that prices rule more than a hun-
dred per cent. above these two years ago. The reduced
stocks held by the trade everywhere, and the falling off in
the supply, arise the merchants to be rather sanguine in
their expcetations.

Reeiseo.—For home consumption Refined Goods have
been in rather b. tter request since last Tuesday, and
prices are firmer, standard Lumps suiting at 107 s to
107 a Gd, Tittlers and Hamburgh Loves, good 108 s to
109 s, fine 109 s 61 to 1103 Gd, low brown Lumps 101 s

Bastards have been in good request, and common sorts arc
not to be had under 703 per cwt. For Bolded Loaves a
good demand has existed, 37s 6d to 33s paid for 14, and
38s 63 to 39s for 101hs. In Crushed Sugar the operations
have been on a fair scale at 33, 6d. Treacle has sold freely
et 15s. Pieces and B,starde are not much in le quest, and
prices are unveried. In Dutch Crushed Sugar the opera-
dons have bet n on a more extended scale; 200 tone have
been sold at 31s to 31s 3d on busrd at Aersterdant

only 1,800 bags are declare_ . sed rather higher prices
has been a geed deal of equity, ai.
have been offered for strong qualities ; :he short supply,
however, has prevented operations of moment, but three
vessels arc near at hand with 20,000 bags.
EAST INDIA.-.. Bengal has been much sought after by
the home trade, and advonced rates offered, but by private
treaty few parcels are to be had ; white kinds are the most
wanted; at auction 3.400 bags sold with spirit Is above
former rates, fine white at 89a 6d, middling to good white

this time : the importation ha: been under that of 1839
Our Refiners are buyers to a fair extent of Manilla, and
would pas former rates, but the short supply has restricted
businese, and few sales have been made privately, for ex-
port the orders are still trivial, prices being too high to
admit of the execution thereof', there has been no public
sale, Siam and Java being held for raAier bight, prices,
have caused the operations privately to be on a small scale.
None has been offered at public sale.
FCMEION. —Fur yellow Havannah a better demand has
existed since last Tuesday ; the merchants still display
firmness, notwithstanding the large stock, and have ob-
tained full former rate;; 500 boxes have been lispos, d of
by private treaty chiefly at 26s to 26s 6,1 for fine quality,
mud a cargo, consisting of 800 boxes of good quality, has
been taken for Ghent at 25s 6d per cwt. ; a good deal
of inquiry has existed for brawn serts from our refiners,
but the supply of this kind is small. For aline there
are yet fats buyers, and althou h there are sellers on easitr
terms, yet the operations have been limited. and con-
fines to 150 chests by private treaty at 35s to 36, for fine
quality. Brown sorts of Brazil have been in good requ .st
principally for refining under bond, and 1 ether higher
prices have been paid ; 200 chests have been disposed at
privately at 21s 6d to 22i fer goad quality. White kinds
are dull of sale, and parcels out of condition ere offered on
easier terms. The stock of Havannah is 50,000 boxes,
1 .
000 of which consist of white. The stock of Brazil is
less, :ban it was in 1839.
To-,:.''y a parcel of mid greyish white Havannah was
disposed or
urivately at 335. per cwt.
Molasses.--. West India has been disposed of to a fair
extent at previous rates. The stuck is 1,600 casks less than
last year at this time.
COFFEE.—Fur the cleat: descriptions of West India a
fair demand has prevailed sin see last Tuesday, and former
rates havo been maintained ; rte'ddling kinds have been
the most in request : unclean qualities,
however, have been
dull of sale, and prices have still a dow Inward tendency,
owing to the competition they meet with fresm East India
and Cape sot ts at public sale, 12 casks
Jamaica were disposed of : middling clears et
113 s to 118 s, low middling 1103 to 110; 63, fine ordinary'
92s to 95s per cwt. The stock and the importations up
to the present time arc considerably larger than last y, ar
In the value Of East India and Cape descriptions little va
riation has occur red, but the operations by private contract
have been on a small scale in till kinds, the public islet hare
been unimportant, and have consisted of 2 400 bags Java, halt
was diposed of 1. under previous noes, va at 66s to 67.
for good ord hold yellow, the remainder was taken in at
66i to 68s, but the whole has since been sold at 6tis to
66, 64 per cwt. Mocha of fine yellow quantity is wanted,
out lew parcels are to be had unless at extravagant prices
other sorts are still only iH limited request. The stock
has reached upwards or 160,000 bags, and the importa-
tions have been 174.000 bags, including 11 arty cargoes
brought from Holland via the Cape of Good Hope;
the high rates which ruled during the whole it' last
year have been the cause of such unprecedrntcdly large
supplies. The demand for Foreign is increasing, and a
fair amount of business hes been transacted in Rio at an
advance on former rates of full 6d per cwt ; 1 400
bags have been disposed of by private treaty ; good
ordinary at 413 6d te 42s ; fine ordinary mixed 42s 6d. St.
Domingo is much wan:ed, hut few pare, Is are yet to be
had ; floating cargoes would find a good market. Of Afri-
can 360 bags and 46 casks have been effered at auction
and all taken in at 65e for peculiar small bcrry. I3teh
the stocks aad importations of Ciifft.e for exportation
only are much larger this year than last, but considerably
smaller than in 1838.
This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind, and
privately the operators were on a small scale, hotders how-
,
cvr were firm. Gond Java could not be oi,tained unfit r
665, and Ceylon 84s
per cwt. The auctions declared are
of little moment.
A cargo of Domingo is offering afloat at 44; 6d per cwt.
TEA.—The market for Free Trade has preserved a
tranquil appearance since we last wrote, and few purchases
have been made in any description ; holders, however,
have displayed firmness, and prices have undergone little
variation; in some cases a slight reduction has been sub
mitted to for cash, common Congou selling 2e 2d, good
blackish leaf 2s 21d, ord and fair Twaiikay 2, 21 to Si 41
per lb Some se ssels being near at haw; tram Cnina.
and several public sales being declared, have been the
chief causes of the inactivity which has prevailed to the
market. The quantity of Tea arrived from Singapore
and the Cape of
Guud Hope during the past week
amounts to 14,000 packages. In the speculative market
there has been little activity, and Company's Congou
has fluctuated between 2s Id to 24 21,1 cash; but them
are sellers now under 2s 211 per lb. The deliveries of
Tea in the Mittel Kingdom fir home consumption
during the past Seven months have not been equ Al to thee
of last year during the same period by 2,821.675114. Tne
quantity taken for erport timeing the same time has been
1.742,832 lbs ; last
year it amount to 2 993 424 lbs.
The deliveries at this port. during the pest week have
amounted to 409,000 lbs. The supply for the seas ,n, it is
now calculated, will reach 30 000,000 ti);. Fur auVion
