(From the London Mercantile Journal of December 21.)
The Colonial Markets will close on Thursday for the
Christmas holidays ; and business will note be resumed
until the 4th of January.
SUGAR.—The West India market was very dull to-
day, the attention of the buyers being directed to the
public sales of Bengal, and the few transactions that
took place were at rather lower prices than accepted
at the close of the market on Friday last. 50 hhds
Trinidad were offered by public auction, and bought in
above the value at 60s to 63s for middling greyish yellow,
and at 58s for low yellow.
MA uRITICTS.— Two parcels were brought to public
sale, consisting of 6,463 bags, 146 boxes, the bulk of
which (4,700 bags) consisted of the new crop, per the
Science, just arrived ; the quality and condition of the
Sugar was not so desirable as could be wished. The
demand from the trade was very inactive, but nearly
the whole quantity was sold and in prices, with the ex-
ception of the old brown qualities, which were rather
cheaper, there was little variation from last week ; low
heavy brown sold at 40s to 41s, strong middling and
good middling brown at 47s to 48s, low mid yellow at
54s to 555, middling yellow at 57s 6d to 595, good mid-
dling bright yellow at 61s 6d to 625, good and fine bright
yellow at 66s 6d to 67s 6d, and very fine dry and colory
of a favourite mark (Le Breton) at 69s 6d to 71s 6d
per cwt.

5,771 bags 233 boxes 162 casks, which went off heavily,
brown sorts at lower rates, but yellow and white fetched
full prices, brown 31s to 475, yellow 53s to 545, low to
fine white 62s Gd to 75s per cwt.
A parcel of Java, consisting of 643 bags, was put up
to auction and disposed of for refining at 15s to 15s 6d
for dry brown, and at 13s 6d to 14s 6d for washed
FOREIGN.-1,125 boxes yellow and 99 boxes white
Havannah Sugar were brought to the hammer, and
being of last year's importation were all bought in ; the
white at 32s fur good, and at 23s to 23s 6d for low qua-
lity, the yellow at 21s Gd to 22s 6d for good and fine
quality.

mand at the quotations. Foreign Refined in bond—in
()rushed some extensive sales having been recently made
at 28s 9d; the refiners are now demanding 29s per cwt.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—The demand for this
article has become quiet, and prices have given way
about is pen cwt.; fine Antigua has soli. at 29s 6d, fine
Trinidad at 265, and ordinary and middling St. Lucia at
23s to 25s per cwt.
COFFEE.—The market has been unusually quiet
this week ; not a single parcel has been offered by
public sale, and the private transactions have been ex-
tremely limited, with a downward tendency for prices,
though no actual decline can be quoted ; the importers
still being unwilling to press sales.
The public sales consisted of 110 casks Berbice, and
350 bags Ceylon ; the first being mostly of the better
class sold at full prices, viz., middling at 104 s to 110 s,
and fine middling at 115 s to 120 s ; the Ceylon realized
66s to 67s 6d for good ordinary pale and colory.
COCOA is dull of sale, and prices rather easier ; 300
bags Trinidad at public auction only partly sold at 37s to
44s for low to good fair red.
_ _

GINGER.—E—ast India is still almost without inquiry,
and prices are very low ; only 200 bags Malabar have
been put up to public sale, which being of ordinary qua-
lity and old went at 8s 6d to 9s per cwt.
PIMENTO. —ln the absence of a public sale, we are un-
able to report any change in the value of the article, and
very little business has been done. The stock continues
on the decrease.

CASSIA LIGNEA.-170 chests were brought td the
hammer and partly sold at full rates, middling at 88s 6d
per cwt.

not lively ; 2,954 bags were put up to public sale, and
only partly sold at 3d 3id for fair and good Malabar.

Thursday, and for Tuesday, 28th inst. Fair common

prices, viz., Jamaica 32 to 34 over proof at 5s to Bs 2d,
proof Leeward at is Sid, and proof Bengal at is 3d per
gallon. On Friday a parcel of this description, con-
sisting of 46 puns 30 hhds sold at Is 6fd to is 7id for 21

Brandy are fully maintained, and some of the shippers
ask Id more, but there is not a great deal of business
doing. Geneva, unaltered. British Corn Spirits 2d per

ness is doing ; fine Yellow Candle on the spot is quoted
at 48s 3d to 48s 6d per cwt. . .

ALARMING FIRE.—GREAT
PEATY. Loss OF PRO-
-An alarm of fire was given between twelve and
one o'clock this morning (Monday), which proved to be
at the Union Carriers' Warehouse, Piccadilly, Manches-
ter, and
the building, 36 yards by 18, and eight stories
in height,
is reduced to a heap of ruins, with the valuable
contents therein, and not a vestige of anything saved.
The building was the property of Lord Francis Egerton,
and said to be insured. 'The building is understood to
have been completely filled, chiefly with cotton, sugar,
wheat and flour. The estimated loss, is 50,000/. besides
the building. There are but few of the owners of the
cotton, &c., who arc said to be insured, so that the loss
will be a total one to all who were so unfortunate as to
have had property within the building. This makes the
seventh or eighth fire that has taken place in Manchester
in the last three or four weeks, most of which have in-
volved the loss of property to a serious amount. In such
danger was a boatman, with his wife and son, from being
literally burnt, that they all jumped into' the canal, and
by great exertions were saved. A part of the man's
shirt was burnt on his back, and he was so much injured
as to be taken to the Infirmary.

The Lord Chancellor has appointed Thomas Ward, of
the city of Oxford, Gent., to be a Master Extraordinary
in the High Court of Chancery.
