Sugar displayed more firmness, and generally the home trade
were more desirous to operate. A fair demand existed for
West India, the quantity sold amounting to 409 hhds and
trcs by private treaty, and the rates paid were equal to those
previously current. At auction 10 hhds of Jamaica sold at
49s for good yellow.

vately in Foreign Sugar. At auction 381 baskets 63 bags of

46s to 475, low 445 6d, middling grey 47s to 48s, damp and
washed 46s to 52s per cwt.
REFlNED.—Further reduced rates having been submitted
to fur all descriptions of Refined Sugar, have tempted the
borne trade to come forward more freely, and a good business
has been transacted. Pieces still find willing buyers, but the
refiners are desirous to sell. Bastards are heavy of disposal,
and the refiners are desirous to reduce their heavy stocks.
Treacle at present cannot be had on lower terms, the demand
being active for all descriptions. The value of Treacle is 14s
to 14s 6d, but there has not been much business done.

under bond have not improved, though a good business was
done, and supply not large.

Sugar offered at auction was large, and amounted to 7,847
bags. Merchants, however, were firm, and insisted upon
former rates fur all kinds, at which the chief part of the Su-
gar was sold at and after the sale.

375 to 44s for good to fine ord mixed. 169 barrels of Rio

and exportation at 18s to 20s for low to fine white, and cargo
15s to 16s 6d. Holders haveconfidence, and supply the market
sparingly; only 2,825 bags having been offered at auction, and

white, 183 6d to 20s for middling, and 12s to 18s for
damaged. Of Java there is none in the market, it is wanted,
and would command stiff rates. There are several buyers of
Madras at 14s 6d to 16s, but the supply is nearly exhausted.
