(From the London New Price Current of January 1 )
Suoae.—ln the West India market it has been a close
holiday this week, business will however be resumed on
Tuesday, when it is expected that there will be a fair de-
mand from both Refiners and Grocers. The stock is
13,275 hhds and tierces less than last.; year at this time.
There has been only one arrival since this day week.
REFINED.—There has been an improved demand for
Refined Goods for home consumption this week, pricea Is
to is Gd higher ; common sorts arc firmer; Standard
Lumps at 91s Gd to 925, Hamburgh Loaves good and
fine oas to 975, Tittlers 92s to 965, brown Lumps low
and good 88s to 915 per cwt. Treacle of common
qualitity at 36s 6d to 375, but for other kinds prices have
given way ; 40s is the present value of Patent, and 41s 6d
to 43s for bast old make and golden syrup. Bastards
good quality at 60s to 655, ord kinds 30s per cwt. For
Pieces, prices have improved ; good and fine descrip-
tions at 78s to 84s, ord and mid 74s to 77s per cwt.
Bonded Crushed Sugar at 335. Loaves, 10 and 141hs
36s 6d to 37s 6d per cwt. Treacle at 15s per cwt. Bas-
tards and Pieces move off slowly, the former at 16s to 19s,
and the latter at 20s to 265. Dutch Crushed Sugar at
31s 3d on board in Holland.
SIAURITLUS.—IIoIders have displayed more firmness,
and by private treaty several parcels have been disposed
of at 6d to Is above the rates of the last public sale for
yellow sorts; brown descriptions have brought small pro-
fits on the late sales. There has been no arrival, but some
are daily expected.
EAST INUFA —White descriptions of Bengal, at prices
Is above those of the last public sale. Brown and yellow
kinds at rather higher rates. Siam low white at 243 61,
middling 25s to 265, good middling and good 26s 6d to
27s 6d per cyst Java is held firmly.
FOREIGN.—YeIIow Havannah at 23s Gd to 24s for mid-
dling and good middling, and 24s 6d to 25i for good and
fine quality. White is held firmly. Brown kinds of Bra-
zil at 193 6d to 22s for low and flue dry quality; for white
descriptions, prices have an upward tendency; Pernambuco
241 Gd for middling white. Porto Rico at 23s to 23s Gd
for good quality.
COFFBE.—Although the private transactions in British
plantation this week have been unimportant, still buyers
have been more disposed to purchase clean descriptions,
and they have been compelled to pay rather higher rates
for small parcels, holders mostly display firmness, and arc
looking for a much better demand crc long, but few
parcels are offering for sale. In the value of East India
or Cape descriptions little variation has taken place ;
holders for the most part arc not disposed to press sales
and supply the market sparingly, but the demand from the
home trade has been only for small parcels ; good ordi-
nary Ceylon is not to be purchased under 733 per cwt, but
St. Domingo and the better sorts of Brazil from
the Cape arc in request by the shippers, and. prices
continue gradually to advance. Mocha of fine quality has
been disposed of in small parcels at stiff prices, the
supply being small. The market for Foreign wears a firm
aspect, and a fair amount of business has been transacted
since we last wrote at stiff prices. Fine ordinary Rio has
been disposed of at 455, ordinary and good ordinary 41s to
445, St. Domingo good and fine ordinary 43s 6d to 44s Gd
per cwt.
TEA.—The market for Free Trade has presented a firm
aspect since our last report; there has been a good de-
mud for cash parcels of both black and green descriptions
fur actual consumption, and buyers have been compelled to
pay rather higher rates ; common descriptions of Congou
have been disposed of at 2s 10 to 2s lid, mid and good
blackish leaf 2s 2d to 2s 3d, and fine 2s 4d to 2s ;
the lower sorts have been the most in request; ord Twankay
has been selling at 2s Id to 2s I,ld per lb. For short
prompts the transactions have been on a more extended
scale, and common Congou has produced 2s 2d per lb.
Upon these terms, however, many parties will not sell,
and but few parcels are offering for sale ; no
auction is yet declared. In the speculative market
a fair business has been transacted, and Company's
Congou has produced 2s lid to 2s lid cash, and 2s 2d
to 23 24d with short prompts. The deliveries from the
warehouses continue good, and last week amounted to
310,000 lbs. The report is again renewed that Pekin has
fallen into the hands of the British Forces, but it is not
credited by most parties,
To-day there was a good deal of inquiry for Free Trade
Tea, but the unwillingness of holders to sell prevented
large transactions, still there was a fair business transacted,
and at prices in favour of sellers, the lowest point of the
market for common clean Congou fcr cash is 2s lid, and
common Twankay is with difficulty to be purchased under
23 lid. Company's Congou was in good request, and
sales were made at 2s ip to 2s 2d cash, and the market
closed with a firm appearance. Advices from China are
looked for with much anxiety.
RUM, BRANDY, Ant.) 110LIAND3.—The transactions in
Jamaica Rum have been on a more extended scale this
week, and full prices have been paid, fine sorts arc the
most wanted, but of such few parcels are to be had : the
sales have been 180 puns, 29 to 30 per cent overproof at
6s to Gs Id, 31 to 33 over 6s 2d to Gs 4d, 34 to 36
over 63 5d to 6s 6d, 37 to 39 over 6s 7d to 6s 91,
favourite marks 7s to 7s 2d. For Leewards, how.
ever the demand has been dull, and rather lower rates
have been accepted for common sorts, but strong kinds
have maintained their former value : 120 puns have been
disposed of, proof to 2 per cent overproof at 2s 81€1 to
2s *d. East India is 0 cheaper, 220 hhds Calcutta
have been sold at 2s 10 proof strength, and 200
hhds Mauritius at 2s 6d proof: at present rates however
several holders of Rum are not disposed to realize, and
keep their samples from the market. Fine old descriptions
of Brandy have been in fair request at full prices, sales
have been made as high as 5s 6d per gallon, but for other
kinds not much demand has existed, holders are however
firm. Geneva has been taken sparingly for export at Is Ild
to 2s per gallon. For British Corn Spirits the demand is
limited it loilcub.

MORNING Ea ) lON.

Today there was more business doing in Leeward Island
Rum, prices were firmer and a parcel was disposed of at
2s 10d for 2 per cent over; proofs are with difficulty nor
to be had under 2s 91d. The demand for Jamaiert eras
good at the rates quoted above.
FRUIT.—FOr fine descriptions of Currants and Valercia
Raisins the demand has been steady and prices firm, but
ordinary sorts of which there is a large stock have met
with a dull sal,' ; holders, boa ever. not disposed to submit
to lower rates. In other kinds of Fruit few sales have
been made ; holders, however, for the most part, eira
that a better demand will prevail shortly.
SPlCES—Cassia Lignea, low middling, has realized 831
to 893, middling 90.4, good middling and good 91s 10 935,
and fine thin quill, of which little is to he bad is worth
96s per cwt. In black Pepper there has not been much doing,
common Sumatra 3id per lb. White at former rater
For East and West India Ginger holders arc unwilling to
submit to lower rates. Cloves Is Id to Is 1W paid for
Bourbon for sh;pping. For Nutmegs and Mace priers
keep firm. For Cinnamon, last sale's rates have been paid.
Rich.—For Bengal this week, prices are still en the
advance: low middling white has realized 13s. middling
I3s 6d, good middling 13s 91 to 14 good and fine 14'
64 to 16s ; the principal part has, however, been
disposed of at I3s tid for middling white. For
several parcels of yellow 10s a 103 61 have been paid.
Java good and fine white have been disposed of by private
treaty at 11 ato 13s, middling lOs to 103 6d, ordinal: I
8s 93 to 9s tid per cwt. Siam 8s tid to 113 6d. Carolina
at 34s to 36s per cwt.
To-day Bengal was much sought after, and 135 93
offered for middling white ; but the quantity unsold being
small, checked buying.
On.s.—Although buyers of common descriptions 01
Fish Oils have purchased less freely this week, still holder'
have displayed firmness, and a fair amount of business 104
been transacted, principally to supply the rants of the
home trade ; pale Seal has realized 34/, brown and yellow
,
281 to 321, Cod 271 10s to 281, Southern, fine 291 to 30"
