SUGAR.--There has been an excellent demand irons the
grocers fur mid good and fine yellow descriptions, which
have brought an advance on former rates cl Is per cwt,

rather higher rates have been paid for strong sorts.

ance, from both grocers and refiners ; there was a brisk de-
mand fur strong grey, and colory descriptions, which brought
prices in some cases rather above those of Friday, and the

market had been better supplied ; for soft and
.grown sorts there was not much inquiry, still
sale was experienced for such, and farmer
rates wore fully supported. The purchases amount
to 700 hnds trcs, including a public sale of 78 hhds

in prices having caused buyers to be desirous to get into
stock, and a good deal of business has been done in cash
parcels to supply both town and country orders, but
scarcely any improvement in prices has taken place since
Tuesday, many parcels being offering for sale.
The public sales which took place to-day were looked

the article, and there was a large muster of the trade present
