(From the London New Price Current of Feb. 15.)
SUGAR.—To- day prices suffered a further depression
for all kinds of Raw Sugar, as supplies were on an in-
creased scale, and all parties being cautious in their

53s to 53s 6d. The market is well supplied, arid the
refiners are freely at work. Crushed Sugar is little
wanted for exportation, and there are sellers of first sort
at 29s to 303 per cent.

manifested by importers of Mauritius Sugar to realise.
The quantity offered at public sale was large, and
amounted to 100 casks, and 10,944 bags, consisting

At public sale three parcels amounting to 2,916 bags

dull appearance. Holders offered to take rather lower

taken in at 16s. East India Treacle sells slowly.

OILS.—The purchases made in Linseed Oil have been
extensive by the home trade, and several export orders
were concluded. For forward delivery a good business
has been concluded, and the crushers manifest much
firmness. In Rapeseed Oil several purchases have been
made, and the supply keeps small. Palm has been in
excellent request by private treaty, and 170 casks at
auction realised 36s to 36s 9d for fine quality. The
consumption is yet on the increase, and supplies are not
large. Cocoa Nut Oil sells more readily, and at stiffer
rates: 96 packages at auction were chiefly disposed of.
Olive met with a good demand, and holders are firmer.
