SUGAR. —There has been a good deal of inquiry from
the grocers for British Plantation this week, especially for
colory sot ts, but the market having been scantily supplied
has operated greatly against business, arid the merchants
have obtained rather higher rates in several instances for
yellow and strong brown sorts, but soft kinds of the latter
remain the same as last quoted. The refiners have been
desirous to do business, and have been disposed to pay a
slight advance, but large transactions have been prevented,
owing to the want of supplies.
To-day the small quantity of West India offering for
sale being almost all of brown sorts checked buyings :
there acre several inquiries after strong grey and bright
yellow kinds, and rather higher rates were paid, making
the rise for the week 6d per cwt; good yellow with not
much colour has been sold at 85s per cwt. The sales for
the week are 1,100 hhds and tierces.
Reeisab.--.To.day there was a good demand for re-
fined goods for home consumption, and goods very scarce,
higher prices consequently are realised, lumps equal to the
standard fetching 98a 6d. The shipping qualities go off
more freely at 32s 3d to 32s tid for first quality of fine
crushed made from goods refined in bond here.
MAURITIUS.-This afternoon the biddings were rather
languid at at public sale of 2,278 bags, the whole was how-
ever sold, and former rates were generally supported ; fine
yellow fetched 824 to 82a 6d, middling to goad 76 to
80s 6d, low middling 73s to 753, low brown 56> per 4t.
The importations have been large, and early this 3, ar,
amounting to nearly 60,000 bags ; the greater part has
however been sold. _

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the home trade were less
desirous to purchase. Bengal, the public sales consisted of
1,729 bags white, 400 bags and 29 cases brown, the for-
mer principally found buyers, but at rather loner rates,
good to, fine white at 83s to 843, middling 81s 6d to 82a,
low dingy 80a 6d to 81s, damps and washed 77s 6d to
82s, brown all taken in at the furmer value, very low sound
at 55s 6d to 563, damp 53s 6d and a few lots better, qua-
lity at 60s per cwt.
FOREIGN. —Yellow Havannah is wanted, but holders
still refuse to sell under 245. White at 303 to 343 fur
low and good quality. For brown and yellow sorts of
Brazil with strength stiff rates offered; white sorts are
held firmly. _ _

MoLassEs.—For West India prices have an upward
tendency; Antigua of good quality has fetched 38s, low
Demerara :31s per cwt.
This aft( moon 139 puns from Halifax, and 11 casks
Mauritius Sugar and Molasses were offered at auction ;
the former taken in at 13s, and the latter sold at 46s 61
per cwt.
COFFEE.—There has bzen rather more disposition
evinced on the part of the home trade to purchase clean
descriptions of British Plantation, and a fair business has
been transacted at prices equal to those of Friday last :
unclear, sorts however have met with a dull sale, but
holders du not appear disposed to submit to any
further reduction. This afternoon the public sales
consisted of 411 bags Company's Java, 220 tugs Padang,
68 casks St. Jago de Cuba horn the Cape, and 100 casks
73 barrels 78 bags British Plantation ; Java was mostly
sold at full prices, viz. good ordinary pale at 58s to 58. s 6d,
tine greenish pale 675, Uamaged 53: ; Padang taken in
above the value, fair and good ordinary at 40s 6 I to 44s ;
Cuba chiefly sold after the sale at good prices, low middling
fetched 80s, and middling 95s ; the British Plantation
being unclean, a part only sold at 2 reduction, good ordi-
nary to low middling Berbice went at 60s to 90s per cwt.
Cocoa.-1-lolders of West India are unwilling to sub-
mit to lower rates. Of Foreign the stock of unsold is ex-
tremely small, good red and grey sorts are wanted.
Teis afternoon the market was quiet for East India ;
350 bags Bengal at public sale were taken in at 13s for
middling white.
TEA —The market for Free Trade presented a firm
aspect in the early part of the week, a good demand
prevailed for cash parcels to supply both town and
country orders, and prices advanced Id per lb. Congou
in large parcels was disposed of at is Qd to is 71
fur common, middling Is 71c1 to is SP, good and
fiue strong blackish leaf is 91 to 2s 2d per lb ;
the lower sorts were the most in request : in green Tea
several purchases were made, common Twankay for money
produced is 6,-'td to is 65d, and fair common Hysori
2s I.ld to 2s 21 per lb. Foe prompts the operations were
to a fair extent, principally in Congou, but during the last
two days the trade have been less desirous to do business.
and the operations have been on a small scale only in
all descriptions ; the falling off in the demand may be
chiefly attributed to the sudden announcement of large
parcels for public sale : 2.000 pkgs are declared for
Tuesday, 18,000 for Thursday next, and the general
opinion is that the latter quantity will be increased to
22,000 pkgs previous to the day of sale; prices are a
-bade lower than on Tuesday. is 6.1 d is the present value
,f common Free Trade Congou fur cash. On Monday
rod Tuesday there %VP.% much activity in the speculative
market, and prices advanced to is itisl to is 8d for Com-
pany's Congou cash, and with short prompts, upon which
terms large contracts were entered into; but since then
the market has been rather quiet, and prices have declined
id to Id per lb; sales for cash and short prompts having
teen made at is 71 to Is 7id per lb : at the close of
the market yesterday there were net sellers for cash
under the latter figure. The deliveries of Tea at this port
lest week were large, and amounted to 410,600 lbs. The
public sale of 2,500 pkgs washed and kiln-dried Tea, duty
paid, went off at high prices, notwithstanding the bad ,1
condition and indifferent quality, Congou sold at 2s 91s1 to
3s lid, Souchong 2s 9e to 3s 81, Orange Pekoe 3s 04d
to 3s Old, Twankay 3s 4d, Gunpowder 3s 6d to 3s 81,
Hyson 3s 3id to 3s 8d per lb.
To-day the market was quiet for Free Trade, but
holders appeared unwilling to submit to lower rates, and
common Free Trade Congou, for cash, was not to be pur.
chased under Is 6}d per lb. In the speculative market
