(From the London New Price Current of March 10.)
Si:MAR.—To-day there was no improvement in the
home or export demand for Raw Sugar, and although

dull appearance, standard lumps were offered at 53s 6d,
and brown grocery 52s 6d to 535. For bonded Crushed
Sugar there is no improvement in the demand, and 28s
to 29. 6d is the value of first and second sort.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was dealt
in with caution, and 1,344 bags, at public sale, were
only in part sold at the former value. Bnares, good

FORT ON.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and the small parcels sold in the private market
were at lower rates.

MOLASSES.—The market for West India has been in
a very dull state all the week, and prices are on the de-
cline; wo quote low to fine quality 15s to 19s per cwt,
and the stock is large.
COFFEE.—This afternoon at a public sale of 780 bales,
and 119} bales of Mocha, prices declined 3s to 4s per

good to fine is 3d to 2s 2d. Pouchong finds a dull sale
at from 6d to 9d. The supply is on the increase of all
kinds of Green, and holders are inclined to accept rather
lower rates, yet the town and country trade operated with
reluctance.
Cocoa.-11olders of West India manifest firmness,
and supply the market sparingly with all sorts, but
buyers are less inclined to operate. By private treaty the
sales made have been trifling, and of 157 bags of Trinidad
offered at public sale, only one lot sold at 50s for fine
dark red, good was taken in at 483, and middling, rather
