(From the London New Price Current of January 5.)
SUGAR.—The trade made their appearance early in the
West India market this morning, and were anxiou, to pur-
chase; holders displayed firmness, and from the grocers
there was a brisk demand, particularly for coloury descrip-
tions, of which the supply was small ; the refiners were
buyers to a fair extent; the total sales were 1.000 hbds and
tics, and at prices 6d to 1 s above those current previous
to the holidays for yellow kinds ; for brown and grey sorts
with strength 6d advance was in most cases obtained, but
low and soft kinds cannot be quoted higher. There was
no public sale, and there has not been a single arrival
s ace this day week ; the market closed this afternoon
with a firm appearance.
RaFINED.—The better descriptions of Refined Goods
have been in good request for home consumption, and prices
have improved Is.
To-day a good demand prevailed for Refined Goods nom
the home trade, and prices have an upward tendency ;
Standard Lumps are with difficulty now to be had at 92s
pieces, and good sorts of Bastards sell freely. The de-
mand for Treacle is dull, at 36a 6.1 to 375. Bonded
Crushed Sugar sells slowly, and it is diffizult to buy first
quality at 33s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon a good demand existed,
and 2,806 bags at public sale went briskly at 6d to Is above
the rates of the last auction, fine strong yellow fetched
833 61 to 84s 6d, good middling and good 77s to 79s 6d,
mi cluing 75s to 765, low middling 72s to 73,6 d; fine brown
70s 6d to 71s, ordinary and good 57s 61 to 65s per cwt.
Fur auction on Friday 5,000 bags are declared.
EAST INDIA.—The grocers have purchased more freely
of Bengal, and they have been compelled to pay an ad-
vance on former rates of Gd a Is for white descriptions;
brown and yellow kinds have brought small profits on the
last auctions, and have been in better request. Siam or-
dinary white at 24s 6d, middling 25s to 263, good midd-
ling and good 26s lid to 27s 6d ; the stock is on the decree se.
This afternoon white sorts of Bengal were in good re-
quest, and brought rather higher rates : at auction 193
bags went briskly at Is above the rates of the last auction,
fine white fetched 85s 61, good 83s 61, mid 82s 6d, damps
and washed 81s 6d to 85s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-For yellow Haver nab former rates have been
fully supported ; 23s 6d to 24s for middling and good
middling, and good and fine 24s 6d to 255. Two
floating cargoes deliverable here at 23s for good colour,
but of rather soft quality. For white the demand has
been very limited, still no parcels are pressing for sale.
Fo white teats of Brazil full prices have been paid. Per-
nainbuco for export, at 248 64 fur middling quality ; brown
kinds at 19, 6,1 to 22s for ordinary and good. Port Rico
at 23s to 23s 64 for good middling. •
Come.—There has been no public sale of British
Plantation ; but by private contract a better inquiry has
existed, and the home trade has been compelled to pay
rather higher rates for small parcels of clean descriptions;
the quantity offering for sale i, trifling, and a mucn better
demand is expected to take place shortly. Altheugh
there has not been much business transacted in East India
or Cape descriptions, still holders have displayed firmness
aad have supplied the market sparingly ; the home trade
has also been more on the alert, and several small parcels
have been disposed of privately at full former rates ; for
good ordinary Ceylon, 73s has heen paid. For fine Mocha
some inquiry has prevailed, and the supply being small,
buyers have been compelled to pay stiff rates. Brazil
and St. Domingo from the Cape continues in re-
quest for export, and prices inclined to advance. In the
Foreign market not much business has been transacted,
still holders are firm and a fair demand yet exists ; the
sales have been 600 bags since we last wrote, good and
fine ordinary Rio at 43s to 455, ordinary and fair ordinary,
41s to 42s 6d ; St. Domingo, ordinary and fine ordinary
42s 6d to 44s 6d per cwt. ; fine sorts are the most wanted,
but of such the supply is small.
'this afternoon there was no public sale, but 130 casks
B. P. arc declared for Thursday ; by private treaty there
was not much inquiry for either East or West India, but
holders were firm, and several small parcels were disposed
of at full prices.
TEA.—The demand for Free Trade continues to im-
t prove, and since Tuesday last a good deal of business has
been done to supply both town and country orders, and
buyers have been again compelled to pay rather higher
rates, cash parcels common Congou disposed of at 2s lid
to 2s lid, Twankay at 2s lid to 2s lid. The transactions for
short prompts have been on a more extended scale,
and common Congou has produced 2: 2d per lb ;
upon the foregoing terms, indeed, several parties are
not disposed to realize, and few parcels are pressing
for sale : no auction is yet announced, and n •ne
is expected to be until after the at rival of
the overland mail, which is anxiously looked for, and
may be expected towards the close of the week. In the
speculative market a fair business has been transacted, aad
2s lid to 2s 2d paid fur Company's Congou, cash, and
with short prompts, upon which terms some further pur-
chases have bean made for actual consumption.
To-day there was a fair business transacted in Free
Trade, and the prices quoted above were fully supported,
and at which not many parcels could be had. In Com-
pany's Congou several sales were at 2a lid to 2e
cash ; the market closed with 'a firm appearance for all
descriptions of Tea.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been a good
demand for Jamaica Rum since this day week, principally
from the home trade, and 250 puns have been disposed of
at stiffer prices, 29 to 30 per cent over proof hasleen dis-
posed of at 6s to 6s Id, 31 to 33 over 63 2d to 6s 4d, 34
to 36 over 6s 5d to 6s 6d, 37 to 39 over 6s 7d to 6s 91,
and favourite marks 7s to 7s 3d; of fine sorts the supply
hos been very small ; Leewards have been in better re-
quest, and prices are firmer, the sales have amounted to 180
puns, proofs at 2s 9d to 2s 9kd, 2 per cent. over proof 2s
10d. Of Calcutta 250 hhds had been disposed of at 2s lid
proof, and 200 hhds Mauritius at 2s 6d, proof strength.
Brandy is held firmly : Cognac, first brands of the vintage
of 1336, at 5s to 5s 2d, in hhda and puns ; ditto 1837,
46 10d a bs ; ditto-1838, 4s ad a 46 sod ;- ditto 1839;486d
a 4a Bd, but there has not been much business doing ; fine
old kinds however have been in fair request, and have
fetched as high as 5s 6d per gallon. Geneva has sold
steadily for export at is 1 l&to 2s. The demand has been
limited for British Corn Spirits, but sales for cash cannot
be made at present under 103 per gallon.
RICE,—For Bengal the demand has been extensive
since we last wrote, and nearly all the parcels avail-
able have been cleared off the market, almost 12,000
bags have been disposed of by private treaty since this
day week, and prices have further improved 3d to 6d
per cwt; low middling white has fetched 13s to 13s 3d,
mid 13s 6d to 13s 9d, good mid and good 14s to 14s 6d,
and fine white which is very scarce has brought 155 per
cwt ; the principal part has been taken for the outports,
and chiefly at 13s 6tl for mid quality. For several parcels
of yellow lOs 3d to lOs 6d' have been paid. The stock
remaining in first hands is reduced to a low ebb, and the
arrivals expected are by no means large. In Java and
Siam a fair business has been transacted, and prices are
firmer ; sales have been made at 8s 6d to 9a 6d for ord,
and 103 to 13s for mid and fine white. Carolina has sold
steadily f a home consumption at 34s to 36s per cwt.
Olos.—There has been less activity in the market for
common descriptions of Fish Oils since we last wrote, still
a fair business has been transacted, and holders have dis-
played firmness ; pale Seal has been selling at 341 ; yel-
low and straw colour, 291 to 32; brown, 281 to 28110 s ;
Cc el, 271 lOs to 281; Southern, good and tine,
28/ to 301; ordinary and middling, 261 to 271 10s.
For Sperm holders remain firm. Linseed Oil 28s 3d on
the spct, and 29s to 30s for delivery. Rape has sold
steadily, pale at 45s and brown 445. East India Cocoa
Nut at 4th for good quality. Palm good quality at 35/ to
3515 x. For Olive prices have an upward tendency.
TALLOW.—For P. Y. Candle on the spot the price has
been steady at 47s 6d per cwt. For delivery in the next
two months 47s 6d to 47s 9d. Town Tallow however has
been in good request ; South American from 39s 6d to
46s for low and good quality.
To-day the market was in a dull state, and there were
sellers of P. Y. C. on the spot at 47s to 47a 3d, but even
thereat but few buyers; 47s Gd. is the nearest price for de-
livery.
FRUIT.—For fine descriptions of Currants and Valencia
Raisins the demand has beea steady and irises fine, but
ordinary sorts, of ;%hich there is a large steel-, have met
with a dull sale ; huldcts huw.ver are not diSposed to sub-
mit to lower rates. In other kinds of Fruit few sales have
been made, holders however for the most part expect tha

a better demand will prevail shortly. The arrivals ha/9
been small since this day week.
SPICES.—For Cassia Lignea prices have further ad-
vanced, and there has been a brisk demand, several hun-
dred chests have been disposed of since this day week ;
low middling has realized 88s to 893, middling 90s,
good middling and good 91s to 935, and fine thin
quill, of which little is to be had is worth 913 s
per cwt; the stock is reduced to a low ebb,
and is nearly all engrossed by one party ; the arrivals are
expected to be trivial for some time. In black Pepper
there has not been much business doing, still buyers have
been more on the alert, and common Sumatra is not to be
purchased under 3id per lb ; the stock is diminishing.
White has sold steadily at former rates. Pimento is held
firmly, but there are not many buyers ; a better
demand may, however, be shortly expected to take place.
For East and West India Ginger the demand has been
limited, but holders are unwilling to submit to lower rates,
the arrivals being small. Cloves have secured a fair sale,
and is Id to is lid paid for Bourbon for shipping. For
Nutmegs and Mace the demand has been steady, and
prices keep firm. Fer some small parcels of Cinnamon,
last sale's rates have been paid.

A NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.—A Rock
Harmonicon, formed of stones found in the neighbourhood'
of Skiddaw, and played upon by the discoverer's three SOIOO
is now performing at Liverpool. The Whitehaven Herald
says --" The inventor of this strange work of art is a pleils
Cumberland yeoman, from near Keswick, and the rude
materials from which he contrives to extract the most Cll
chanting harmony are nothing more than a collection of
slates or stones from the more unfrequented parts of the!
mighty Skiddaw. These are arranged in such a manner
as to enable three persons to beat upon them at the same
time with small wooden mallets; and this is accomplished
with so much dexterity and skill, as to distil from the
rudest possible materials the most rich and delightful In'
lody of sweet sounds that car ever heard, or imaginatiort
can conceive. The effect is perfectly magical. and the
listener stands entranced and wonder-struck. Men of utl-
doubted musical science have inspected this novel MAO.
