SIICAR.—To-day a decline in the value of several sorts
of Raw Sugar took place, in consequence of the great
increase there was in the supply at market ; but the
home trade were induced to operate upon a larger scale,
whilst shippers directed their attention more to the
article. In West India Muscovado a large business was
transacted both for refining and grocery purposes ; but

that existed previously. The total purchases were 720
hds and tea, including at public sale 123 hds 9 tcs Bar-
