The sapply of Beasts on offer being on the increase, and the attend-
ance of buyers small, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state,
and Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported. From
Holland we received 40, and from Norfolk 200 beasts. The num-
bers of Sheep were not large, yet the sale for them was heavy, and
the late advance in the currencies was barely maintained. In
Calves a steady business was doing, at a farther improvement In
prices of quite 2d per albs, the primest qualities producing 6s. The
Pork trade was firm, at previous figures. Mitch Cows very dull, at
from 161 to ISt each.

India Sugar market was good, and the rates were a shade
above those previously quoted.
REFINED.—To-day there was a good business transacted
in Refined Sugar by the home trade, and prices closed at 64s
for standard, and 63s for brown grocery lumps. Bonded
Crushed Sugar is held for 35i 6d to 35s 9d for first sort.
MAURITIES.—There has been an increased demand for all
descriptions, and the rates paid generally exhibit an advance
on those previously quoted of 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in excel-
.

lent request, and three parcels otl'ered at auction, amounting
to 2,591 bags and 62 chests, were all sold at prices showing
an advance on former rates of is for white, and 6d per cwt.
for brown and yellow sorts.
MOLASSES.—West India is little wanted, and the market
having been better supplied, purchases can be made upon
rather lower terms; the value of low to fine quality is 193 to
233 per cwt.

SALTPETRE.—The business transacted in rough by private
contract has been upon a more extended scale, and very full
rates are paid- low to middling quality 'sting 25s to 265,
good to fine 26s 6d to 27s 6d. Holders manifest firmness,
and refrain from offering any at public sale.

transactions by private treaty during the week are only 120
chests of brown Bahia at 19s, and 250 chests of yellow Ha-
vannah at 20s to 21s 6d per cwt.
COP/Mi.—There has been more desire evinced to purchase
West India this week, and in all descriptions a fair business
has been transacted by private contract at fully previous
rates. Merchants manifested firmness, and refrained from
offering any at public sale.
TEA.—Although there are further arrivals, and the stock
exceeds that of last year; still merchants have shown firm-
ness, and again refrain from offering any at publie sale; at
present only 482 pkgs all Assam are declared.
SPICES...-. Holders of Black Pepper have confidence and still
supply the market scantily. There has been a good busim ss

tention, and at auction 50 bags were sold at 4d to 4t,4d for
middling, and 5d per lb for gokll middling. Pimento is held
with firmness. Of Cassia Lignea some parcels have
been sold, but not at better prices. East and
West India Ginger can be obtained upon rather
low terms, still there has been little desire shown to operate.

tity brought to public sale having amounted to 89 casks, 14
boxes, 3 bags—the whole said, but at a reduction on former
rates of 2d per lb. Mace has met with more attention, and
17 cases at auction were sold at 2d to 3d per lb advance.
Smuns.—ln the value of Jamaica little variation ha' s
taken place, but the purchases made have been trifliny; ;

are not inclined to further reduce their prices. I: ewl'eorwaerar
