(From the London New Price Current of May 26. )
SuCax.—The advanced rates established on Tuesday last
for British Plantation Sugar have been fully supported, parti-
cularly for brown and middling yellow descriptions, there has
been a fair amount of business transacted to supply the wants
of both refiners and grocers, considering that the market has
been supplied with samples, the sales since this day week have
been 700 hhds and tierces.

To-day the West India Sugar market opened firmly, and
the merchants refused to sell, excepting at prices fully equal
to those of Friday ; but the trade evinced little desire to do
business, and only a limited demand exists for grocery or re.
fining purposes; the private purchases amounted to only 200
hhds and tierces at previous rates ; a board of fine yellow Ja-
maica was sold at 755, low yellow Nevis fetched 70s per cwt. ;
there was a much better show. The scanty stocks held by the
trade cause several of the merchants to expect that a much
better demand will exist for Sugar ere long.
The first public sale of Barbadoes this season of the new crop
took place to-day, and consisted of 100 hhds ; it was but a
middling parcel, being deficient in colour ; it however sold
with spirit, and at very full market rates; fine yellow went at
73s 6d to 74s 6d, good 72s Gd to 735. middling 71s 6d to 725,
one lot low 68s 6d, the bulk fetched 73s to 73s 6d per cwt.
ItErii-rnn.—To-day there was not much demand for Re-
fined g,qods from the grocers, but prices remain firm, and
standard lumps are not to be had under 87s 6d, the supply of
goods is short. Treacle is. in active request at 35s to 3tts per
cwt. Pieces and Bastards are in good demand at our quota-
tions. Bouded Crushed Sugar is in steady request, and it is
difficult to get first quality under 34s 9d per cwt, the stir:ply
being small. Loaves were disposed of to a fair extent at the
rates quoted above. Treacle rather cheaper ; sale,. made at
133 9d per cwt.

, al A URITICS.-Thie afternoon there were three public sales,
consisting of 8,856 bags, which met with a good demand, the
whole found ready buyers, and the prices paid are fully equal
to those of the last auction, especially for the lower sorts, line
yellow went at 72s to 735, good 69s 63 to 71s 6(1, middling
68s 6d to 693, low middling 67s 6d to 683, fine brown 66s 6d to
675, good 65s 6d to 665, low and middling 63s to 64s 6d very
low dark 59s per cwt.
EAST Isnra.--This afternoon the public sales consisted of
1,800 hags Bengal, 5,769 bags Manilla, 341 baskets Java; the
Bengal sold readily at full former rates, fine white fetched 73s
to 74s 6d, good 71s to 72s 6d, damps 71s to 71s 6d, washed
70s 6d. Manilla was nearly all disposed of, but at a reduction
on former rates of 6d, low yellow sold at 225, low strong greyish
22s 6d, middling 23s a 23s 6d, fine brown 21s 6d a 225, damps
2ls a 22s 6d, washed 20s 6cl a 21s. Java was all taken in, viz.
low mid greyish white at 2.5 s Gd, fine yellow 25s a 2.lis 6d, dumps
and washed 23s 6d a 24s 6d per cwt.
Fo REIG..-Yellow Havannah continues to be held firmly,
except at late rates there are no sellers. White at 64 to is ad-
vance,
,good and fine of the new crop selling at 39s to 40s, and
ordinary old at 32s to 33s per cwt; Brazil at previous rates;
Bahia at 24s for middling white.
Moeassis.-For West India rather higher prices have been
paid. Common Demerara at '34s 6d, middling 35s to 35s 6d;
Nevis, 34s to 36s 6d • Antigua fine 38s per cwt.
COFFEE.-The Britishi Plantation market has been. quiet
since we last wrote; all unclean sorts are totally neglected,
although offered at a further reduction in prices : former rates, I
however, have been supported for clean sorts, few samples at
present being at market, but the trade have shown little desire
to buy even these kinds ; Berbice, good middling at 112 s to
1133 6d, middling 109 s 6d, fine ordinary 102 s, unclean was,
however, all taken in at 95s to 98s for low middling and mid-
dling quality Mocha is in short supply, and support former rates.
Thos afternoon there was some improvement in the demand
for clean soi is of Coffee for home consumption, but the pur-
chases were chiefly confined to the public sales of 133 casks
Jamaica, and 1,925 bags Java from the Cape, the former was
au excellent clean parcel, consisting of the new crop, the whole
of which was disposed of at full market rates, fine middling
fetched 124 e to 124 s 6d, middling 114 s to 115 s Gd, low middling
107 s to 110 s 63, fine to fine tine ordinary 101 s to 105 s ; the
Whole of the sound of the latter was, however, taken in at 67s
to 67s Gd for good fair quality ; there were buyers at the former
figure. Since the sales a part of the Java has born sold at the
buyingsin prices.
RICE.--7 his afternoon there was very little business doing
by prieat e contract in East India, and prh es have a downward
tendency, several arrivals being near at hand : at auction, 380
bags low white dusty and broken Bengal were taken in at 12s
per cwt.
•
STICES.-This afternoon the public sales consisted of 453
chests Cassia Lignea; 570 bags Black Pepper; 1,040 bogs
57 chests East India Ginger. The Cassia Lignea was all taken
in at 76s for middling quality, but false packed. Pepper partly
sold at steady rates, viz., at 4d fur shot Malabar, common
:lusty Sumatra taken in at 34d. Ginger was all bought in at
21s lid for good fair bold Malabar, the chests however sold at
0(1 to 62s 6d for fair bold scalped.
Rum, BRANDI-, ANTI HOLL ANDS. -111 Rum prices have
given way 1/2d to 141 for Leesvards, and the sales are only 180

This afternoon 300 tons Southern at public sale were all dis-
posed of at e 3/ 15s to 24/ lOs for middling to fine quality.
TEA. -The transactions in Free Trade Tea have been very
limited for actual consumption, and capitalists still refrain alto-
gether from making investments ; holders have generally re-
fused to submit to any further reduction ; but those parties who.
have been compelled to realize have submitted to lower rates,
the business doing is exclusively for cash ; common Congou has
been selling at 2s Id to 2s lid, and common Monkey 2s 2d to
23 2id, which establishes a decline on the rates of this day
week of 1.141 to 2d per lb, at these pricess there are, however,
not many sellers, there being still an uncertainty as to what
the season's supply will be ; by some it is estimated at
12,000,000, and by others at 15,000,0001b5, causing the trade to
be very cautious about buying; and they still take only sufficient
to supply their immediate wants ; the principal merchants, on
the other band. show much firmness, and will not sell at any
thing like existing prices, being of opinion that they will, ere
long, improve, in consequence of the perplexed state in
which the trade with this country and China is placed.
Some prompts being nearly due, 17,000 packages of
Tea being declared for sale en the Ist and 2nd of
June, and son.c arrivals being near at hand also tend to
keep the market quiet, and depress prices. In Company's
Congou there was little passing last week, and prices declined
to 9s 2441 for cash, and 2s 3d to 2s 5d for long and short
prompts; but yesterday there was more desire shown to buy,
and a good many purchases were made at 2s 2id to 2s 24• El for
cash. The next Overland Mail is looked for with anxiety, and
may be expected about the Bth of next month, as it is supposed
the trade will then be put into the possession of the actual quan-
tity of Tea which can be received, and which alone will regu-
late prices throughout the year. If they were to come down a
little lower for free trade some mercantile bowies in the Citync
would make large investments, but we do nut see ntil:hdeohma
e
of this at. present ; the stock in the United
is
4.5,000,0001b5, and last year at this period it w

this period; and from Ch,na
last
arrivals indirect, con.
week they amounted to 316,0001b5.
Thearrrices to rule low it,
4,500,0001b5. The deliveiies of late have.be.ears, to ;
sisting still chiefly of Green Tea, cause p
comparison with those of Black.
To-day the purchases in Free Trade Tea were rather limited,

but prices are firmer ; there are no sellers of cash parcels at any
further reduction in price. For Company's Congou there
were buyers at 2s 21d, but. few sellers under 23 3,1 for cash.
This afternoon several purchases were made in Corvq-any's
Congou at. 2s 24d to 2s 3d for cash, but in Free Trade there was
little passing ; no sellers, however, of I•>w Congou for money
under Ss lid, and Twankay 2s 2ld, and even thereat not many
parcels are to be bad.
TA LLow.—First quality is Tint to be had under 40s to 49e
3d. For delivery therk, has been little pass for the last three
mouths; but there are no sellers under 49s 3d, and some par-
ties require 49s Gil per cwt.
This after: non the market was quiet, but in prices there wal
no variation.
