(From the London New Price Current of August 7.)

S (Yu/al.—The West India raw Sugar market has ex-
hibited a dull appearance throughout the week, both the
grocers and refiners showing a disinclination to purchase
except at reduced prices, which the merchants do not seem
disposed to submit to, and the sales are confined to small
lots,—sufficient to cover the wants of the buyers—from the
limited business done however, and the extreme firmness
of the merchants we cannot quote a decline upon the rates
of last week of more than 6d to Is per cwt, though in some
instances easier purchases have been made; good brown
Jamaica has brought 806 6d, and low middling and mid-
dling do 81s 6d to 82s 6d per cwt.

There was very little demand for Raw Sugar to-day,
and the market was extremely flat, the sales being only
100 hhds and trcs, but in prices no further change took
place. The estimated purchases for the week are under
400 hhds and tics.

IZEFINED.—Prices of all descriptions of refined goods
have declined about is per cwt since this day se'onight ;
standard lumps 108 s per cwt. Double crushed is to be
had at 345, and Hamburgh loaves at 37s to 39s for 14 and
10 lbs. Treacle rather lower. Several sales have been
made in Dutch crushed Sugar at 31s 3d on board in Am-
sterdam, and at 32s 9d on board here.

MA URM us.—ln the absence of public sales the market
has been in a very quiet state, there being no disposition
to realise, while the buyers hold back as much as possible,
consequently prices are in a perfectly nominal state.
EAST INDIA.—The pikes of white Bengal remain the
same as at the close of last week, very low damp brown
at public sale 67s 6d to 69s 61 per cwt. Siam and Java
are not inquired after for export, and the refiners do not
continue their purchases, consequently the market has been
flat, and in the absence of public sales nothing has been
done, but prices remain firm.
This afternoon there was little business doing in Bengal
privately, and one small parcel only was offered by the
hammer, which consisted of •?26 bags, and sold at 83a to
&is for yellow to good white, being about Is under pre-
vious prices. . _

FOREIGN. —There is nothing new to report in this mar-
ket ; the refiners arc now not purchasers, and the shippers
refuse to give anything like the rates demanded, there-
fore we are without transactions, but the holders are firm,
and very few parcels are offering. Since this day week
the arrivals have been large, consisting of 4,300 boxes
290 hhds Ilavannah, and 490 hhds Porto Rico.

WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—For this article the demand
continues limited, but the holders, from the small :took
here, do not seem disposed to give way io price, and the
small parcels sold have brought previous rates.
COFFEE.—The prices of West ledia and Ceylon Coffee,
owing to the withdrawal of the Customs' Duties Bill,
have (as was anticipated) suffered a decline of 3s to 5s
per cwt, and in some cases even more, and at which the
trade have shown very little desire to purchase,
sequently we have had a dull heavy market ; Jamaica, low
middling and middling at 1063 to 117 s, good and fine fine
erd at 80s to 105 s, and Ceylon good to fine ord at 84s 6d
to 88s, will a similar portion of very fine at 106 s 6d per
cwt. Java and other sorts subject to the duty of 9d per lb,
rather higher than last week.
There was little demand for Coffee for borne cons i:n
tion this afternoon, and being only one public sal 4 the
market was very quiet, but without a disposition o ► the
part of the merchants to press sales. 430 bags Java were
bought in at extreme rates.
Cocoa.--In some cases a slight advance has been IY:id.
Trinidad good grey at 51s 6d to 535, and fine to good red
at 5.2 s to 53s 6d per cwt,
Tau.° N.—Since Monday, prices have declined about
6cl per cwt; the price of P. Y. C. of fine quality has de-
clined to 523 per eat on the spot, at which there arc
further sellers. New Tallow has fallen to 525, deliverable
in the last three months of the year.
This afternoon the prices of tallow were again a shade
lower, without any improvement in the demand. P. YC.
on the spot 5 ts 9d to 52s .and to arrive 51s 6d per cat.
SPICES.—To-day the Spice-market generally was quiet,
there king few inquiries after any article except Pepper,
which would still be taken freely at 3i,d, but without find-
ing sellers. At a public sale of 322 bags East India
G.nger there was little demand, but the holders were firm,
and bought in the whole at 19s 6d for middling Bengal,
and at 17s for fair Malabar.

OlLs.—The demand for all common sorts of fish oils
continues, both for home use and exportation at full, and
in some cases, rather advanced prices ; pule Seal 29/ 103,
and Southern 24110 s Jo 25/ 16s per tun, Sperm 96/ to
961 1 Os fine quality. In Linseed oil, both on the spot and

to arrive, 29s 6d to 29s 9d per cwt. Rape oil 39s 6d per
cwt. This afternoon the prices of Southern oil were very
firmly supported, and 260 tuns offered by public auction
were disposed of, low to fine quality from 241 to 261 103
per cwt.
Rice.—The demand fur E. I. descriptions continues dull
and prices still appear drooping, Madras sort is Is lower'
Bengal at I3i 6d to 14s 6d for good fair and good white;
1,950 bags Siam and Java were principally bought in, the
latter at Ils to 12s for good mid white, and at lOs for low
mixed paddy; 1,300 bags Madras sold at 9s to lOs for low
and mid yellow.
This afternoon 934 bags Bengal were brought to aue-
tion and partly disposed of at 13s to 14s 6d for mid to good
white, being the former value.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The prices of Rum
continue to be supported with great firmness, and the de
mand is steady ; all descriptions have brought last wee"
rates, except the choice and high flavoured sorts, which are
Id per gallon dearer. The sales of the week are about
250 puns Jamaica and about 300 puns Leewards • the
former 25 to 35 per vent over-proof at Os Id to 6s itlt 3,6
to 38 over Os 10d a 7s, with superior marks at 7s ld a 7st
and the Leziwards, proofs to 8 over at 3s Sd a 4s 9d, to I°
over 4s ld a4s Bd, 20 to 28 over 4s 10d ass 6d, and 30
to 40 over 5s Bcl a6s Id per gallon. Brandy has I'o'9'
tabled the prices quoted in our last.—For Geneva little
change can be quoted in prices.—British Corn Spirits
lOs 3d per gallon.
TEA.—At the public sales which took place on Wall
and Tuesday last there was a large attendance of the
trade, amongst whom were several influential dealers from
the country ; the sales opened with a strong desire 05
the part of the trade to purchase, and throughout,'
the biddings were brisk, particularly for black ae,
the better descriptions of green ; of 13,500 packag"
offered, 10,000 were readily disposed of for actual e°s'
surnption at the following advance on the last auction"
viz., oil Congou qd to 2d; Twankay 14d a 2d; HSI
2}d to 3d ; Imperial and Gunpowder 3d ; and on nearly
ether descriptions Id to 2d per lb; the remainder Wite
bought in much above market rates.
The following are the prices actually paid. COO/

imports of Tea from China from the Ist of January to tbo
end of July 1840 are 15,500,0001b5.
Since the conclusion of the above sales, advice' bs f
been received from China, which not being of a decided el,
satisfactory character, affairs being still in the same stet,
as when the previous accounts left, and ships continuing
get Tea, the market was iu a very dull state througll%
Wednesday, the trade being somewhat fearful of hold'
too large stocks, and in consequence prices were depregio
for most descriptions of Tea; at the same time Zip
holders were not disposed to press sales, and but little
op
siness was done ; Company's Congou on that day mo,
tuated between 2s lid and 2s 1/cl per lb cash, On The, $
day, however, confidence was in some degree restoreticso
fair business was done in free trade descriptions, and alert,
nearly recovered the depression of the previous day. I.coo.
was also more speculation going on in Company" alO
gou, and the price at the close of the day advance
2s lid to 2s 2d per lb cash.

THE BLONDE TRADE.—The standlatnonb tode
operatives in this respectable branch of the Nottinglia° With
appears to be universal. Not a machine is moving. avy
one united voice and heart they seem determined peace' ,f3C'
resist further reduction. Indeed the respectable Men
turers themselves are equally anxious with the worktoetioiiv_
a fixed, steady, and remuneratingprice should be
tained. To this end confidence alone is necessary', es satin'
demand for both quilling and plain and fancy blonde is rice'
factory, and does not require any diminution in oPf
It is already too low, considering the great expense

chinery, and other things with which the blonde-band is of s
able ; but the last printed statement rice, publishedi3ey aroci
year ago, the workmen are willing to abide by ; and vs
to a man, determined to accept no less. Several meet' qi,os
the trade have been held in Nottingham and the tOo°s

interested in the manufacture of blonde, and the greatest. so;
nimity prevails. Their object is nothing but reasonable:i
it is equally to the interest of employer and empletewte
