(From the London New Price Current of August II.)
SPGAIL—To4Iay importers of West India Sugar displayed
more firmness, and refused to sell in the private market any
description, excepting at prices equal to those of Friday ;
the demand was good, and the refiners the principal opera-
tors; the quantity disposed of privately amounted to MO
hhds and trcs.

REFINED.—To-day the home trade operated largely in Re-
fined goods, and prices closed firmly at 63s for brown grocery
and at 64s per cwt for standard lumps. Bonded Crushed
Sugar is dull of sale, and first quality is offered at 34s per cwt.
MA UKITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
submitted to public compe ition amounted to 8,352 bags;
there was a brisker demand, and the whole sold at and after
the sale at an advance on the rates of the last auction of 6d,
and in some cases of is per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with more
attention • 1.966 bags and 107 chests were offered at auction,
and all sold, but not at better prices.
FonmaN.—To-day there was no public sale of Sugar the
produce of slave-labour, and privately little desire was
evinced to operate in white or brown sorts, but holders for
the most part are not inclined to lower their prices.
Cohan.—To-day several purchases were made privately
in Ceylon, and stiffer rates were paid. The public sales
comprised 38 bags of Singapore Java, and 38 casks 5 brls of
Jamaica.

TEA.—The market has an improving appearance for nearly
all descriptions of Tea; holders have confidence, and refrain
from bringing any to public sale, but some are declared. In
Congeal several purchases have been made, and the tendency
of prices is upwards, especially for the lower kinds, which
are yet the most in demand. Pouchong has been in good
request, and prices are firm. For yellowish leaf Twankay
the market has a dull appearance, and prices are on the
decline. For Hyson kinds the operations are upon a more
extended scale at is 6d to is 10d. Flowery Pekoe is dull of
sale, and the tendency of prices is downwaids. Orange
Pekoe has been sparingly dealt in, and 2s per lb is the value
of fine. Prices have not risen for Hyson, b,it many parcels
have been sold. Young Hvson has been in fair demand.
RUM, BRANDY, ANDHOLLANDS.—Jamaica Rum has been
purchased with caution by exporters and the home trade,
but holders are unwilling to reduce their prices. There is
not a large quantity on offer, and the qualities are chiefly
of the low and middling. Calcutta has been sparingly dealt
in, and prices are looking down. Demerara is wanted,
and bring firm rates. Leeward Island is less wanted, and
prices have taken a downward turn, although the supply is
yet small. The artival3 of Rum have not been of much
moment since this day week. Brandt has been in brisker
demand, and prices are firmer, the' home trade have been the
chief buyers. and old sorts the most in demand. In Geneva
there has been a good business transacted for exportation,
and prices are higher. British Corn Spirits have been in
better demand. English Gin is 9s 4d fur 17 per cent under
proof, and 22 under 8s 10d per gallon.
SricEs.—To-day at public sale 19 cases of Nutmegs were
offered, and all taken in at 2s lid to 3s for mouldy brown
Penang, 3s for limed Bombay. 10 barrels Jamaica Ginger
sold at 36$ for low, and 44s to 101 s for fair and middling. 80
bags Carraway Seeds were taken in at 41s per cwt.

above the value. Of Blades 1,000 bags of sound were dis-
posed of privately at the stiff rates of 14s to 14s 6d for
Bengal grain.

COCHINEAL.—This afternoon at public sale 46 bags 01
Honduras were offered and sold at full rates.

On.s.—Although Linseed Oil can be obtained upon lower
terms; still the home trade have been cautious in their pro-
ceedings, taking only sufficient for their immediate wants.
and for exportation there has been scarcely any business
transacted. For forward delivery there are sellers at 22s 9d
to 245, but few contracts have been entered into. The
crushers are still working freely, although prices are under
those of last year, and they are getting small profits, but as
the trade are scantily supplied, and the consumption very
good, a brisker demand may be expected to take place shortly.
Rape Seed Oil has been in good demand, and prices are improv-
ing. Cocoa Nut is held with firmness, and is still wanted, but
the supply at market is small. In Palm many purchases
have been made privately. Olive does not improve in value.
but the demand is on the increase, and many parcels have
been disposed of. Of Fish Oils none has been brou4ht to
public sale since our last report, and the arrivals are of little
consequence. There has been only a limited demand for Cod.
Seal has been in brisker demand, and holders evince firmness.
Southern has been in good demand, and prices are firmer.
Sperm has been sparingly dealt in, but holders generally are
unwilling to further reipce their prices.
SALTPETRE —To"-day rough met with little attention, and
1,069 bags of Calcutta at public sale sold rather under former
rates.

TALLOW.—There has been a brisker demand for Russian
on the spot. but holders have been unable to obtain any
advance in prices. Purchases to a fair extent have been
made, and 41s 3d to 41s. 6d. per cwt are the rates paid tor
fine Petersburgh Yellow Candle. For delivery in the: three
last months of the year many contracts were entered into.
but there are still sellers of fine Petersburgh yellow at 41s. to
41s. 3d. Town tallow has been in excellent request at
40S 6d net cash, at which the market is firm, although
it is well supplied, but there is an increased quantity being
consumed. All other descriptions have been purchased with
more freedom, and full rates are paid privately.
