(From the London Nets Price Current of February 23.)
SUGAR.—The British Plantation Sugar Market has as-
sumed a dull aspect, the demand from both grocers and re-
finers has been very limited for all descriptions since our last
report, the purchases not exceeding 480 hhds and tierces ; the
small supply, however, has prevented any material variation in
prices, in some cases, lowever, a slight reduction has been sub-
mitted to for the lower descriptions ; with bright yellow sorts.
the market has been scantily supplied; St. Lucia, of damp
and low heavy quality has been disposed of at 70s ; Demerara
low middling yellow rather bright 74s ; Antigua, good 80s.
To-day the West India market was in a dull state, both
Grocers and Refiners buying with much caution, and the
sales amounted to only 150 hhds and tierces ; although the
quantity of Sugar on show was small, still prices gave way a
little, and the reduction since Tuesday last amounts to 6d to
Is on brown and middling yellow sorts; but good and fine
have nearly maintained the previous value, they being very
scarce ; middling bright yellow Demerara sold to-day at 755
to 76s per cwt.
REFINED.—For Refined Goods prices have given way a
little ; Standard Lumps 97s 6d to 98s ; Tittlers and Hambro
Loaves, fine 103 s to 106 s, good 99s to 102 s, ordinary 98s,
brown Lumps low to fine 93s to 965. Treacle common at
34s 6d to 355; Patent 36s to 375, best old make
39s to 40s, and golden syrup 41s to 42s ; for Bas-
tards former rates have been supported. For Pieces a
fair demand has existed ; fine sorts at 86s to 89s, and other
kinds at 78s to 84s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar at 32s 3d
for first quality. Leaves, 101bs and 141bs, at 36s 6d to 38s.
Treacle at 14s 9d to 15s. Bastards and Pieces at former rates.
Dutch Crushed Sugar at 30s 9d to 31s on board.
The- home trade to-day purchased sparingly of Refined
Goods, and lower rates were submitted to, standard lumps
selling at 97s per cwt. Treacle met with a slow sale; common
at 345, and other sorts at 35s to 41s per cwt. Bastards and
Pieces moved off slowly at the rates quoted. Bonded Crushed
Sugar was in good request, and few sellers under 32s 6d per
cwt for first sorts.

Mau RITIUS.-This afternoon the trade evinced little desire
to purchase, and at the public sales the bidding' were very
languid, 8,546 bags were offered, not half found buyers, and
and prices declined 2s to 3s for brown and mid yellow sorts, and
Is to is 6d for good and fine ; black brown went at 4bs to 50s,

cases.

COFFEE.—The demand has been limited for clean descrip-
tions of British Plantation since Tuesday last, and prices have
given way Is Od to 2s per cwt.
This afternoon the market presented a quiet aspect ; by
private treaty few purchases were made in any kind, for either
home use or export, and prices have still a downward ten-
dency. The stock of East India has greatly accumu-
lated during the last few days. At public sale
1,540 bags Company's Java, and 284 bags Ceylon were offered;
the former was mostly disposed of, but at a reduction on the
rates of Friday of 2s per cwt, good ord pale went at 55s to
55s 6d, good ord pale greenish 56s (id to 57s ; the latter sold at
70s to 70s 6d for good ord, being Is to is 6d under the prices
of Friday. Sumatra, Padang, Rio, and St. Domingo are
offered on rather lower terms.

The Dutch Trading Company have declared 400,900 bags
of Coffee for sale next month. •
For auction to-morrow 1,600 bags Ceylon, and 600 bags
other East India sorts are declared.
COCOA.—For West India prices are firm; fine red Trinidad
at 56s to 58s, middling and good 50s to 5-is per cwt. Prices
have improved for Foreign, Bahia good red at 42s to 43s 6d,
and one lot inferior 41s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—The market for Free Trade has presented a more
lively appearance since this day week : a fair demand has pre-
vailed for most descriptions for actual consumption, but im-
porters having brought large parcels to public sale, has pre-
vented any improvement in prices, and they remain much the
same as on Tuesday last for black, but green is rather dearer

_
in some cases.
To-day the transactions in Free Trade were only to a limited
extent by private treaty, and former rates were barely sup-
ported - Common Congou for cash was however not to be
had under' '
der' Is bid per lb. At ;public sale, 2,036 packages
were offered, at which the biddings were languid, and
not above half found buyers rather under the prices
