firmness this week, and the grocers have been anxious to
purchase ; good and fine yellow descriptions havo been in
brisk request, and the ma' ket has been daily nearly cleared
of such ; the supplies bring rather small, buyers have been
compelled to pay an advance on former rates of 6tl to Is
per cwt ; brown and the lower sorts of yellow have been
disposed of to a fair extent at previous prices. The
refiners have not evinced much desire to do business, still
they have been on the alert, and a steady demand
has existed for all strong sorts, which have fetched fully
former rates, but soft kinds have moved off slowly ; fine
yellow Jamaica has fetched 83; to 84s, mid and good mid
73; to 79t, low 723; Trinidad, good brown 693 to 71s ;

with some heavy samples amongst them 645. good and fine
brown 68s to 71s, low mid yellow 72s to 735; Dominica

they were in fair request. The :total sales for the week
