COLONIAL.

SITGA.R.—There has been a good demand for British
Plantation, and about 950 hhds have been sold, without
material alteration, including 110 hhds Trinidad by
auction, which brought 38s for mixed low to mid yellow.
The public sales have likewise consisted of 1,400 bags
Bengal, 410 bags Madras, and 1,000 bags Mauritius,
which went off heavily, but the chief portion of the
Bengal found buyers at steady prices, viz. 42s to 48s for
good yellow to good white Benares; there was no
disposition to purchase the Mauritius or Madras, the
whole were withdrawn at about the previous currency.
The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at
the East and West India Docks was 2,097 hhds 327
tierces 504 barrels, and there were taken for home con-
sumption 1,617 hhds 209 tierces 567 barrels. The stock

(From the London New Price Current of July 20.)
SUGAR.—To-dtly the home trade came forward with
greater freedom, and the purchases made in Sugar for
exportation were also upon a more extended scale, and
in several instances better prices were obtained. There
was an extensive demand for West India Muscovado,
both for grocery and refining purposes, while the rates
paid were in several cases 6ti per cwt above those of
Friday for all sorts. Tho total quantity sold amounted
to 1,350 hhds and trcs, including, at puble sale, 219 hhds
13 trcs and 8 brls Barbadoes, which s.)ld at lull rates.
REFINED.—Today there was much desire evinced by
the home trade to operate in all sorts of refined goods,
indeed they nearly cleared the market of all sorts pay-
ing advanced rates—brown grocery lumps were sold at
58s 6d to 595, and standard lumps 59s 6d to 60s per cwt.
Bended crushed Sugar is dull of sale, first quality at
31s 6d to 32s per cwt.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the public sales of
Mauritius Sugar consisted of 5,187 bags 18 casks, nearly
the whole being inferior kinds of yellow grey and brown,
which sold at former rates, the few piles of middling and
good yellow selling 6d per cwt. higher.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Madras Sugar was
more in demand privately at former rates, and 80 bags
at public sale sold at 37s 6d to 38s for guod damp and
washed yellow. Of Bengal 3,605 bags were offered,
when the whole sold at full rates, indee white' went Gd
to is per cwt higher.
FOREIGN.—To-day sales to a fair extent were made
in Foreign Sugar by exporters and the home trade
privately, and full rates were paid; at public sale 13
caws 470 bags damaged Maceio sold.
COCOA.—To-day at public sale 400 bags Para Cocoa
were sold at 39s to 40s for good dark greyish red, which
is cheaper, but chiefly at 393 per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon, at public sale, 1,230 bags
Native Ceylon were offered, and all sold at full rates;
real good ordinary at 37s Gd to 383, good ordinary 37s 6d;
one lot 375, sea damaged, first class 36s to 375, second
and third 34s to 365, fourth ditto 3ls 6d, ditto and re-
packed 303 6d to 31s 6d. Of Penang 20 bags at public
sale went at 26s 6d to 27s 6d for good ordinary trown
heated, and at 23s Gd to 26s for damaged.
TEA.—Holders of Congou are not inclined to take
lower rates, but the demand has been less active for all
kinds, and only a small amount of business has been
transacted during the last few days ; still common
quality cannot be obtained under 9d, and good
common 9id per lb cash ; there is not a large
quantity on offer of any sort. Pouchong is dull
of sale, but not offered upon lower terms. Fine
green Tea has been in good request at the rates of last
Tuesday, but the lower kinds met with little attention,
still there are not sellers upon lower terms, and there is
not a large quantity on offer; the lowest price of sound
Twankay is 7d, and of Hyson is 4d. At public sale on
Thursday, 5,750 chests were offered, but only 400 sold.
The arrivals since this day week are 21,000 pkgs, whilst
duty was paid on 537,9661 es during that time.
Rim-I'o-day the purchases made in Rice were upon
a more extended scale,_ and. at stiffer.rates.; 158 6d to
18a 6d paid for low to fine white Bengal ; 1,099 bags
yellow from the Mauritius at public sale were, however,
mostly taken in.
Seco.—This afternoon there was not much desire
shown to operate ; and 999 boxes at public sale went
2$ to 3s under former rates—fine large pearl selling at

22s 6d to 23s 6d, fine small white 20s 6d to 21s Ed, goad
19s 6d to 20s ; hut the whole found buyers.
SPICES o-day et public sale I,Buu gags of Zanzibar
Cloves were all sold, but at a fall in prices of ld per lb
SPIRITS.—There are still willing sellers of all desci ip-
tions of Jamaica Rum, and the rates accepted show *
further decline of 2d per gallon, making the fall from
the highest point of the market this year of is 3d to la
6d per:gallon ; still exporters have operated with much
caution since our last report, while the home trade only
purchase sufficient for present wants. Over proof 3s ld
to 3s tod. In Lee~►ard Island the purchases made
have been very trifling. East India is heavy of
disposal, whilst prices continue to give way. Demerara
is little required, and is offered upon further reduced
terms. There is still a large quantity of all kinds of
Rum on offer, and an impression exists that prices ha,*
not yet arrived at their lowest point. Brandy of all
sorts has been operated in with caution by exporters
and the home trade, whilst holders are willing to sell
upon previous reduced terms, as the stock is heavy and
greater than last year. The older Brandies, and those
of the vintage of 1844 are still the most pressed for sale.
Geneva is in good request for exportation. For British
Corn Spirits the demand is dull.
INDIGO.—To-Cay during the progress of the sale 510
chests were withdrawn ; 1,094 chests (seeond hand
goods) have passed this day. This afternoon at public
sale 75 serons Spanish Indigo were offered, and mostly
v sold at 2s 8d to 4s for ord and good sobres, being ld to
2d per lb dearer.
COCHINEAL.—The public sale this day consisted of
118 bags: viz., 30 ordinary to good and fine Mexican
blacks, all sold at from 5s 2d to 5s 6d-30 middling to
good white silvers, all bought in at from 5s to 5s ld--58
ordinary to good and fine Honduras silvers, all sold at
from 5s 4d to 5s 9d, being very full prices.
SALTPETRE.—By private treaty Rough has been
largely dealt in since our last report, and the advanced
rates previously established are well supported. This
afternoon at public sale 676 bags of Calcutta were taken
in is above the value.

OILS.—A further decline has taken place in the value
of Cecoa Nut Oil, the supply having exceeded the
demand. By private treaty few purchases have been
made, and at public sale part only of 30 tons of
Cochin repacked out of tanks sold. Rapeseed
Oil is less required, and prices have declined.
For Palm prices have slightly given way, and
the stock been further increased, but a good business
has been transacted. Linseed Oil is little required for
home consumption at present, whilst only trifling parcels
have been taken for exportation. For forward delivery
few buyers are to be met with. The market is better
supplied with oil, but the consumption does not decrease.
Prices are very remunerating to the crushers, and are
above those of last year by 3s to 3s 6d. Holders of 011/0
evince firmness, and the demand is on the increase.
Lard Oil in small quantities fetched 43s to 495, and
African ground Nut 41s to 425. For all sorts of Fish
Oils prices have ruled firm, although there are again
large arrivals, whilst others are near at hand, and the
stock here being heavy, but the consumption is going
on satisfactorily. Pale Seal has been in excellent
request. In Southern purchases to a fair extent
have been made upon former terms. Sperm does
not improve in value, but there is a good demand.
There is still a plentiful supply. The value of Head-
matter is 87/. to 881. Seal and Sperm are lower in place
than last year, but Southern is higher by 40s to 50s per
tun.

TALLow.—Althou2h Russian on the spot is offered !it
a further reduction in prices of is to is 6d per cwt, still
the amount of business transacted has been to a small
extent only. For fine Petersburgh Yellow Candle
47s 61 to 48s are the prices taken, and at which there id
a desire to realise. For forward delivery little has been.
done. Home made moves off slowly at 47s 6d to 48s On
the spot, and the supply is large. Other sorts met with
little attention, and are offered upon lower terms.
