StoAa.—Business in the raw Sugar market was resumed
this day. Merchants displayed much firmness, and refused to
sell, excepting at prices is per cwt above those that prevailed
prior to the holidays. The trade were desirous to operate, and
in both grocery and refining sorts a good business was trans-
acted, the dealers evidently having allowe I their stocks to get
to a low ebb. The quantity sold in the- private market
amounted to 660 hbds and tierces, and there was but a
small and indifferent assortment. At public sale 152 hhds
of Barbadoes went off with spirit at a rise on the rates of the
last auction of Gd to Is per cwt. The market closes with a
firm aspect for all kinds of raw Sugar.
ReFixEn.—To-day refined goods were in excellent request
by the home trade, and prices were firm—brown grocery
lumps at 645, and standard lumps at 651 per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar is wanted, and first sort is selling at 33s 6d to
33s 9d per cwt.

MAIIIIITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity submitted to
public competition was large, and amounted to 6,775 bags,
and 211 casks, the chief part of which consisted of the better
qualities of yellow. The trade were willing to operate, and
the whole sold at prices showing a rise on those of the last
auctions of 6d to Is per cwt. _

EAST bana.—For Bengal the market has an improving
appearance. By private contract to day several parcels
were disposed of ; and at public sale 550 bags of white
Benares went 6d per cwt. higher. Madras was in excellent
request; and 5,821 bags at public sale. all out of condition,
t old at a rise on former rates of is per cwt.
FOREIGN.—A good demand existed to-day for all sorts of
foreign sugar for home consumption by private treaty, and
rather higher rates were paid. The export orders are, how-
ever, still small; but for the sorts available for that purpose
only: holders refuse to submit to any further reduction in
price. A fair demand exists for refining under bond.
Motansas.—Prices cannot be quoted higher for West India
at present, but the demand has been brisker, and 22s to 26s
per cwt is the value of low to fine quality.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon met with less at.
tention, and the parcels offered at auction, amounting to
1,824 bags, were taken in. Holders remained firm, and in-
sisted upon former improved rates. Mocha has been in good
demand privately, and prices are on the advance for clean
sorts.

11/M.—Bengal met with increased attention, and a further
advance has taken place in the value: extensive purchases
have been made privately, and the rates paid are 2s to 2s 6d
per cwt above those that prevailed two weeks back ; the
whole on offer has been cleared off the market, indeed, the
stock is nearly all in second hands.
Srnure.—The market has an improving appearance for
all descriptions of Jamaica Rum,. a good demand having
prevailed from the home trade, and exporters operated with
more freedom ; the rates paid have been above those pre-
viously current. Leeward Island Rum has been in excel-
lent request ; the supply at market is at present small, and
prices are improving. East India has been in good
demand, and the rates paid are rather above those
previously current. Demerara of strong quality has
been sold to a fair extent, and at stiffer prices.
For Brandy a brisk demand has sprung up, chiefly for home
consumption, and prices have improved for all sorts. Ge-
neva met with a much better demand, and prices advanced
to 2s 7d to 2s 8d for common shipping sorts, and 3s 2d to 3s
6d for fine for home consumption. For British Corn Spirits
the demand is active, and supplies being but moderate, to-
gether with the high rates of grain, caused the distillers to
advance the price of all descriptions, the quotation for Corn
Spirits being now 11. 9d, Scotch and Irish, lls 8d nett cash.
Osns.—There has been a good business transacted in Seal
and having a small supply, buyers are compelled to pay
stiffer rates. Cod has been only in, limited request, and
having a better supply there are sellers upon rather lower
terms. Southern is wanted, and owing to the limited supply
a further advance in the value took place. For Olive the
demand has been brisk, and advanced rates given. Palm
met with ready buyers, and holders are very firm. Cocoa
Nut is in scanty supply, and being much wanted, prices are
rising. In Rape Seed Oil a good deal has been done, and at
better prices. For Linseed Oil prices have not improved,
there being still a plentiful supply, but the home demand has
been good.
TALLOW.—There has been a brisk demand for Russian on
the spot, and the rates paid have been rather above those
previously current. For forward delivery there has been
little passing. Home-made has been in excellent request.
In other sorts of Tallow a good business has been done at full
rates.

THE WEATHER.—Monday morning, soon after
daylight, the frost rapidly broke up, amid a gentle fall of
rain, and in the course of the day the thermometer rose
to 40. The roads are in a shocking state, but the tem-
perature is now much more agreeable to the feelings
than it has been for some weeks past.

of design was established in the ninth century for the
'illumination of manuscripts,—The Builder.
