(From the London New Price Current of October 23.)
SUGAR.—There has been an increased disinclination
evinced on the part of the trade to purchase British Plan-
tation Sugar this week, the grocers have bought sparingly
of both brown and yellow kinds, and few of the refiners
have made their appearance in the market; the quantity
sold during the three market.days have amounted to only
950 hhds and tierces ; importers have generally refused to
reduce their pretensions, in a few cases, however, a alight
reduction has been submitted to for the better sorts, but it
is not sufficient to warrant us in altering the quotations.
Jamaica of low brown quality has been disposed of at 804 ;
Demerara and Jamaica low middling yellow 81; to 83i,
good middling of the latter at 84s, and good nearly fine
trom the same Island and Antigua 84s 6d, these latter
are certainly in proportion the cheapest sorts; for low
brown Berbice 78a has been refused.

To-day the trade were more desirous to do business, and
a fair demand existed for all descriptions, the grocers,
however, were the principal operators • 450 hhds, &c., were
disposed of, and towards the close of the market it was
difficult to buy at the rates of yesterday ; the sales for the
week amount to 1,400 hhds and trcs. The market closed
with a decidedly more healthy appearance; the lowest
point for dry brown is 79s per cwt.
REviszEn.--The home trade have bought sparingly of
Refined goods this week, and prices have given way Gd
per cwt ; standard lumps selling at 102 s to 102 s 6d,
good and fine brown lumps 98s to 101 s, ordinary 95s
to 975; Tittlers and Hamburgh Loaves 102 s 6d to
104 a, fine 105 s to 107 s. Treacle of common quality
at 3Es, but patent and the best old make have been
in excellent request, 41a 6d to 42s paid for the former,
and 43s 6d to 443 6d for the latter. Pieces have
sold freely, fine at 84s to 88s, and other kinds at 792t0 831
per cwt. Bastards have been in good request, and have
fetched 67s to 68s for low and fine quality. There has
been a brisk demand for Bonded and Crushed Sugar, 33s
3d paid for large, and 33s 6d for small parcels of
first quality. Loaves have sold slowly, but prices
have been supported, 61111 are worth 423, 101bs
39s to 393 6d, and 141bs 383 to 383 6d. Treacle
has been taken freely at 15s to 15s 3d. Bastards and
Pieces have sold slowly at 203 to 28s. For Dutch Crushed
Sugar on board at Amsterdam 31s has been paid.
Matiamus.—There has been no public sale, and pri-
vately little inquiry has existed for either brown or yellow
descriptions, previous rates however have been supported :
no arrivals, and no auction is declared. The stock is
56,667 bags less than last year at this time.
EAST INDlA.—Holders of Manilla having submitted to
rather lower rates have caused the refiners to come for-
ward more freely, and they have taken 3,000 bags by pri-
vate treaty, low yellow at 235, middling 23s 61, good
24s 6d, the principal part was at 23s to 23s 6d per
cwt. Siam fine white fetched 28s to 283 6d, low
to good 25s to 273 61, damps and washed 24s to 263
Bengal brown and yellow sorts at rather lower rates ;
white at itis 6d for middling ; low foxy brown at 653,
very ordinary black 50s ; 82s to 83s for middling yellow,
84s to 85s 61 for good and very fine, and 703 to 723 61
for middling bright brown;
FOKEIGN.—YeIIow Havannah at 24s 6d to 25s for good
middling quality. The parcels of Brazil offered at auction
have been large, and have consisted of 321 chests 142 bar-
rels Pernambuco, and 264 chests 120 barrels Bahia ; buy-
ers evinced little desire to purchase, and holders not being
disposed to submit to lower rates, the whole was taken in.
It is reported that an order has been received at the Cus-
tom House, to admit white Havannah for home use, at the
duty of 63*, and 5 per cent.
COFFEE —For all clean descriptions of British Planta-
tion a good demand has prevailed this week to supply the
wants of the home trade, and former rates have been fully
supported, indeed superior marks of Jamaica have brought
advanced rates, and are much wanted ; for unclean kinds
there are yet few buyers, and to dispose of small parcels
holders have been compelled to submit to rather lower
rates.

This afternoon prices were firm for all clean kinds of
Coffee admissible for home use, and a fair demand existed
privately. At auction 117 bags Java end 33 bags Salem
were offered, the former sold a- 55s 6d to 59s 6d for end,
and sea damaged at 48s 6d to 545; the latter fetched 71 133
for fine pale greenish, being the full value.

TEA.:—holders of Free' trade have displayed firmness
this week, and forme% rates fully supported for both black

nd green sorts, but the demand has fallen off consider.
ably, and but few purchases have been made, this is not to
be wondered at, considering the sudden announcement of
large public sales for Tuesday, 10,000 pkgs being the
quantity declared, the principal part Congou of excellent
quality, For fine Hyson sold at the auctions last week,
there have however been several inquiries. The specu-
lative market has presented a tranquil appearance all the
week, but there is no dispositio❑ to force sales, and in
prices little variation has occurred. Company's Congou
cash 23 31d to 23 31d, and 2a 44 to 2s 4,141, with
prompt;. The General Kyd has arrived with
1,500,000 lbs. The deliveries at this port during the
past week have been large, amounting to 437,900 lbs,
Accounts from China by the overland mail may be cx
pected about the 6th of next month, and are looked for
with intense anxiety by holders of Tea, as the nature of
the advices will no doubt affect the value of the article
one way or the other. The stock in bond in the kingdom
is on the decrease.

To-day holders of Free trade refused to accept lower
rates, but there was little business done in any kind.
Common Congou for cash was not obtainable under 2s 3id,
and ordinary Twankay 2s 3id per lb In the speculative
market there was little stir, hut Company', Congou for
cash was not offered under 2s 3id per lb. The public
sales at Glasgow were well attended, and of 3,656 pkgs
offered, 1,3110 were readily disposed of at full prices.
Congou realized 2s ad to 2s 10 d, and Bohea 2s id per lb.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS. —There has been a
better demand for all descriptions of West India Rum this
week, and strong qualities of Leewards have brought pre-
vious rates; for common sorts, however, a slight reduction
has been submitted to. Jamaica has brought previous
prices ; of the former 200 puns have been disposed of,
proofs at 3a id to 3s I Ad, 2 to 4 over 3s 2d to 3s 21d, 5 to
12 to 3s 3d over 3; 81, 18 to 26 over 4s to 4s 6d, 28 to 36 over
4s 8d to 5461, 38 to 40 over very fine 5s 91 to 64 ; of the latter
the sales have amounted to 250 puns 28 to 36 over 5s I Id to
6s 4d, fine marks 7s to 7s 3d per gallon ; at existing rates
some parties are not disposed to sell, the last vessel from
Jamaica for the season having arrived, and a Government
contract bring expected to bs shortly
declared; proof
Leewards are not now to be bought under 3s 21 per gall.
East India has brought former rates ; since last Friday
280 puns &o. have arrived. Although prices of Brandy in
France have opened much under those of last season, and are
as follows :____vintage 1840, hhds 3s 91, puns as 7d ; 1839,
blids 4s 9.1, puns 4s 7d ; 1838, hhds 5s 2d, puns 5s ; 1837.
