(From the London New Price Current of January 1 )
Scums —lii the \Was India market it has been a close
lieliday this week, business w:11 however be resumed on
Tuesday, when it is expected that there will be a fair de_
wand from both Rfincrs and Grocers. The stock is
15.975 blids and tierces less than lasts, 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 6,1 higher ; ecrnmen sorts arc firmer; Standard
Lumps at 91s 6cl to 925, Hamburgh Loaves good and
fine 93i to 975, Tittkra 92t to 965, brown Lumps low
nod good 88s to 913 per cwt. Treacle .of common
qualitity at 36s Gd to 375, but for other kin& prices have
given way ; 40s is the present value of Patent, and 41a 61
433 for bast old make and golden syrup. Bastards
good quality et 603 to 655, ord kinds 503 per cwt. For
Pieces, prices have improved ; good and fine descrip-
tions at 783 to 84s, ord and mid 743 to 77s per cwt.
Bonded Crushed Sugar at 335. Loaves, 10 and 141bs
36s Gd to 37s 61 per cwt. Treacle at 153 per cwt. Bas-
tards arid Pieces move off slowly, the former at 163 to 193,
and the latter at 20s to 263. Dutch Crushed Sugar at
31s 3d on board in Helland.
MAURITIUS. —Holders have displayed more firmness,
and by private treaty several parcels have been disposed
of at Gd to Is above the rates of the last public sale fer
yellow sorts; brown descriptions have brought small pro-
fits on the late sales. There has been no arrival, but some
are daily expected.
EAST Lame —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 24.; 61,
middling 253 to 26a, good middling and good 26s 63 to
27s 61 per cwt Java is held firmly.
FOREIGN.—YeIIow Havannah at 23s 61 to 24s for mid-
dling and good middling, and 24s 6d to 25; for good and
fine quality. White is held firmly. Brown kinds of Bra-
zil at 19a 6d to 22s for low and fine dry quality; for white
descriptions, prices have an upward tendency; Pernambuco
24r 61 for middling white. Porto Rico at 23s to 23s 63
for good quality.
COFFEE.—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 mwtly display firmness, and are
looking for a much better demand ere 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 are 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 73s per cwt, but
St. Domingo and the better sorts of Brazil born
the Cape are 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 hart been transacted
since we last wrote at stiff prices. Fine ordinary Rio has
been disposed of at 455, ordinary and good ordinary 41s to
443, St. Domingo good and fine ordinary 43s 6i to 44s 6d
per cwt.
Tee.—The market for Free Trade has presented a firm
aspect since our last report; there has been a good de-
mand for cash parcels of both black and green descriptions
for actual consumption, and buyers have been compelled to
pay rather higher rates ; common descriptions of Congou
have been disposed cf at 23 10 to 2s 1h 1, mid and good
blackish leaf 2s 21 to 2a 3d, and fine 2s 4d to 23 441;
the lower sorts have been the most in request; ord Twaekay
has been selling at 2s Id to 2s 11. d per lb. For short
prompts the transactions have been on a more extended
scale, and common Congou has produced 2s 21 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 2; l d cash, and 2s 2d
to 2s 2FI 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 Fred Trade
Tea, but the unwillingness of holders to sell prevented
large transactions, stillthere was a fair business transacted,
and at prices in favour of sellers, the lowest point of the
market for common clean Congou for cash is 2s lid, and
common 'rwankay is with difficulty to be purchased under
23 lid. Company's Congou was in good request, and
sales were made at 2s lid to 23 2d cash, and the market
closed with a firm appearanCe. Advices from China are
looked for with much anxiety.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The transactions in
Jamaica Rum have been on a more extended scale this
week, and full prices have been paid, fine sorts are 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 63 Id, 31 to 33 over 6s 2d to 63 41, 34 to 36
over 63 5d to Ga 61, 37 to 39 over 63 7d to 63 93,
favourite marks 7s to 7s 23. 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 84e1 to
2s 90. East India is id cheaper, 220 hirds Calcutta
have been sold at 2s 10 proof strength, and 200
hhds Mauritius at 2a 61 proof: at present rates liewcver
several holders of Rum are not disposed to realize, and
keep their samples from the market. Fine old descriptions
of Brandy have been in 4ir request at full prices, sales
have been made as high as 5s 61 per gallon, but for other
kinds not much demand has existed, holders are however
firm. Geneva has been taken sparingly for export at Is 11 d
to 2a per gallon. For British Corn Spirits the demand is
limited ai 103, cash.
To-day there was more business doing in Leeward Island
Rum, prices were firmer and a parcel was disposed of at
2a 10d for 2 per cent over; proofs are with difficulty now
to be bad under 2s 91d. The demand for Jamaica was
good at the rates quoted above.
FRUIT. —For fine descriptions of Currants and Valencia ,
Raisins the demand has been steady and prices firm, but
ordinary sorts of which there is a large stock have naet
with a dull sale ; holders, however, not disposed to submit
to lower. rates. In other kinds of Fruit few sales have
been made ; holders, however, for the most part, expect
that a better demand will prevail shortly.
SPICES--Cassia Lignea, low middling, has realized 88s
to 893, middling !Ms, good middling and good 91s to 935,
and fine thin quill, of which little is to he had is worth
963 per cwt. In black Pepper there has not been much doing,
common Sumatra .31(1 per lb. White at former rates.
For East and West India Clore holders ere unwilling to
submit to lower rates. Cloves la Id to Is 10 paid for
Bourbon for shipping. For Nutmegs and Mace prices
keep firm. For Cinnair.on, last sale's rates have been paid.
Rim—For Bengal this week, prces are still en the
advance : low middling, white has realizA I3s, middling
133 63, good middling 13s 91 to 14s, good and fire 14s
61 to 15s; the principal part has, however, been
