(From the London New Price Current of January 15.)
SUGAR.—Holders of British Plantation have displayed
firmness this week, and the grocers have been anxious to
purchase ; good and fine yellow descriptions have been in
brisk request, and the market has been daily nearly cleared
of such ; the supplies being rather small, buyers have been
compelled to pay an advance on former rates of 6d to Is
per cwt ; brown and the lower sorts of yellow have been
disposed of to a fair extent at previous prices. The
refiners have not evinced much desire to do business, still
they have been on the alert, and a steady demand
has existed for all strong sorts, which have fetched fully
former rates, but soft kinds have moved off slowly ; fine
yellow Jamaica has fetched 83s to 84s, mid and good mid
73s to 793, low 72s ; Trinidad, good brown 69; to 71s ;
Antigua, good and fine, but not with much colour 793 to
81s, mid and good mid 73s to 79s ; Grenada good mid and
good 77s 6d to 793 ; Demerara very dark greyish brown,
with some heavy samples amongst them 645, good and fine
brown 683 to 71s, low mid yellow 72s to 73s ; Dominica
good mid 775.
To day there was a good demand for middling to fine
yellow, and strong grey descriptions, which brought rather
higher rates; making the advance for the week is per cwt,
brown and low yellow sorts cannot be quoted higher, atilt
they were in fair request. The :total sales for the week
reach 2,400 hhds and trs.
REFINED.—There has been an excellent demand for
Refined Goods from the home trade since this day week,
and rather higher rates have been paid for the better de-
scriptions. Standard Lumps have been disposed of in
large parcels at 933 ; Tittlers and Hamburgh Loaves, good
94s to 965, fine 97s to 993; Brown Lumps, fine 91s Gd to
fos, good 903 to 915,. ordinary 88s to 89s per cwt. Treacle
common in small parcels at 365, patont 37s to 38s, best
old make 41s to 421, for golden syrup 42s Gd to 435,
Pieces have been in excellent request, and prices have
further improved; fine sorts have been selling at 82s to
863, good 79; to 81s, middling 77s to 78s, ordinary 75s to
765. Bastards of common descriptions may be had as low
as 493 to 50s, but the better kinds have brought full
prices ; middling and good descriptions at 563 to 675, fine
68s to 70s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar at 32s 6d to
32s 9d for first quality. For Loaves prices are firm ;
141bs have been disposed of at 375, 101bs 37s 6d to 38s, and
Gibs 40s to 41s. Treacle at 14s 9d to 15s. Bastards at
16s to 19s, and Pieces 20; to 255. Dutch Crushed Sugar
on board at 30s 6d.
To-day prices were firm for Refined goods, but there
was only a limited business transacted for home consump-
tion, in other articles no variation occurred.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon a fair demand prevailed,
and 1,049 bags at public sale sold 6d above former rates,
fine yellow fetched 83s, good 793 to 803, low and middling
74s 6d to 75s 6d, fine brown 68s Gd, low 50s per cwt.

fered at auction, and all disposed of at, and after the sale, 3s
above the general valuations, low quality realized 55s to
58s 6d, the bulk went at 57s per cwt.
FOREIGN.-Brown descriptions of Brazil would com-
mand full former rates, but the limited quantity has re-
stricted business; 25s for middling white; yellow Ha-
vannah rather above former rates ; middling quality has
fetched 245. Cuba imported from Jamaica, tierces
fetched 22s 64 to 23s 6d for middling yellow Muscovado,
and the remainder 22s 6d to 24s 6d for middling and good
clayed yellow, and one lot fine at 253 ; if holders would
accept 23s 6d for fair yellow quality of Havannah, it would
lead to the disposal of large parcels. Porto Rico continues
in request, and prices are firm; at auction 208 hhds fetched
23s to 23s 6d for good middling strong greyish yellow.

32s to 335, Antigua 38s, Berbice and Grenada ordinary
303, Dominica and St. Vincent's good 32s to 33s per cwt.

good ordinary 745, fine ordinary coloury 75s to 783 per
cwt. Java at 56s to 57s for good ordinary pale.

readily at full prices, good ordinary fetched 73s 6d to 743,
fine ordinary pale greenish 75s to 765, fine for ordinary
even pale 80s to 81s. The latter, of ordinary quality,
fetched 70s to 75s per cwt.

value, but there has been only a limited demand privately, i
and none has been offered at auction ; a large parcel has
arrived. Foreign in small quantities has been selling at
late rates.

for Free Trade since we last wrote. The business done
has been almost exclusively for cash, and on the following
terms :—Congou common is Gd to IsAid, coarse is GI-d to
Is 7d, fair blackish leaf is 7d to is lid, mid is 8d to is qd,

but prices have been unsteady, and have varied between
is OAd to Is lid for Company's Congou cash ; the closing
quotation yesterday was is God cash, and is 7d prompt one
month. For auction on Tuesday b,OOO packets are
declared.
To-day szveral parcels of free trade were disposed of,
and upon the whole a fair amount of business was trans-
acted, prices were firmer, and the lowest point of the mar..
ket for common Congou cash is is qd per lb ; of fine
kinds of tea there do not appear to be many parcels pressing
for sale. Company's Congou was in steady request, and
closed at Is 64d a Is 7d cash.

Currants, and damaged Valencia and Denis Rals:,,i; a
very thin attendance, and nothing appeared to ..ave been
sold.

Rt/M, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.--Por Jamaica Ruin
there are several buyers, especially of fine descriptions,
and full prices have been offered, but the short supply at
market has restricted business, and the sales this week
have not exceeded 100 puns at the rates quoted. Lee-
wards have been less in request, still a fair business has
been transacted, and former prices have been maintained,
200 puns have been disposed of, proofs at 2s 9d

have been sold at 5s 2d to 55 6d for 29 to 36 over-proof.

for Calcutta have fallen to 2s d to 2s lid for proof, at
which 80 hhds have been disposed of. The arrivals of

The transactions in Brandy have been on a more extended
