(From the London New Price Current of May 5.)
SUGAR.—To-day any gfni.ral advance was prevented
in the value of Raw Sul,; tr, in consequence of the in-
creased supply. There was, however, no decrease in
the home or export demand; and merchants manifested
much firmness. Purchases to a fair extent were made in
all sorts of West [Ain by private treaty, and upon former
terms. At auction 163 hhds of Barbadoes were only in
part sold at a reduction on former rates of 6d for the
better, and 6i to is for 1 )w and middling sorts.

after, and prices closed with firmness, brown melting
lumps at tpis 61, and to passa the standard 554 61.

from 26s 6d to 28s.

sequence of importers insisting upon a further advance
in prices of 6d per cwt.

towards West India, a fair amount of business has been

prove, and rule at 16s to 17s per cwt.

India us the stock is small, and nearly all in the hands
of one firm. The sales made privately have been of

sell. Demerera is dull or sale at from 2s 9d to 3s 2d
for 30 to 38 per cent over proof. For Jamaica
the export demand continues to be extremely limited.

to 3s 10d, and small parcels of better quality 4s to 4s 6 I.
