BEAUTIFUL TEETH.
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL
DENTIFRICE.
A WHITE POWDER compounded of the choicest and most re-
cherche ingr.dients of the Oriental herbal. It extirpates all tartar-
ous adhesions to tho teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface. Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties
exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence: they arrest the
further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of
the Gums, and by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, perpetuate
effective and complete mastication ; the breath also, from the salu-
brious and disinfecting qualities of the Odonto, attains x grateful
sweetness and fragrance. . _

The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves that Its effi-
cacy in preserving and embellishing the TEETH, far surpasses any-
thing of the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, in cense-
queoce, obtained its selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court,
and Royal Family of Great Britain,:and the Sovereigns and Nobinty
throughout Europe.—Price 2s. 9d. per box.
CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners have directed the Proprietors' name and address thus,
" A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Batton-garden," to be engraved on
the Government stamp, which is affixed on each box.

PRICE OF SUGAR. .

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the returns made in the week ending February 29,
18.18, is 245. 81% d. per cwt.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

tFrom the London New Price Current of March 3.)

SUGAR.—Te.day there was not much inclination shown
by exporters or the home trade to operate in Raw Sugar,
supplies were on a larger scale, and for some sorts prices
were depressed. A fair demand existed for West India
for refining purposes, but grocery kinds were dealt in
with caution. The sales amounted to only 370 hhds
and trcs, still holders would not sell, but at former rates.
At public sale 28 hhds 10 tics and 55 barrels of Deme
rara crystalised were taken in, middling yellow at 43s
to 445, good grey 48s to 49s per cwt.
REFINED.—To day Refined goods met with a ready
sale for home use, and prices closed with firmness—
standard lumps at 555, and brown grocery 545. Crushed
Sugar

but there is little business
doing.
is unaltered in value
MAURITIVS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with less demand, 6,267 bags 58 tres and 375 casks were
offered at public sale, consistin—
chiefly of middling and
good yellow sorts. `The chief portion sold, but at a
; brown, grey, and grainy
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
kindsreduc reduction
realised
were ()tiered at, public sale, and amounted to 3,82 e
bags, nearly the whole sold
nosefd6tdhe for
formerw yellow; a
sold, strong yellow sorts at full
rates, but white went ad to is per owl cheaper.
Foneicia.—To-day there was no public sale of
Foreign ; and the operations privately for the week are
8,000 bags Manilla at 395, and 300 chests Bahia, brown
37s to 38s, and yellow at 40s to 40s 6d.
MOLASSES.—The market remains quiet for West
India, and as there is a large stock, holders are willing
to take rather lower rates, and accept 15s to 19s for
ord to fine quality. Of Cuba 26 tierces at public
sale realised 16s per cwt. In East India Treacle there
has been little passing.
COFFEE.—Tbi.s afternoon the market was more libe-
rally supplied with Mocha Coffee.
The quantity offered
at public sale amounted to 911 bales, 80 hall-bales.
There was little desire shown to operate, and the chief
portion was taken in 2s to 33 under former rates, fine
greenish clean long bean 755, outside packages slightly
stained 735, sea-damaged 60. Of Ceylon 667 bugs were
subaii,ted to auction, the Native only in part sold at
barely former rates. Plantation all found buyers at full
re; es.
seeeete—To-day the demand was active for Cassia
Lignea, and 963 boxes at public sale all sold at very full
rates; 11 bales 2 pkgs 01 Ceylon Cinnamon of second
quality were all withdrawn;. 11 chests Bencoolen Cloves
taken in at Is sd to is 9d for gocd, and at Is 2d fur low;
12 chests Penang Mace only in Dart sold.
TEA.—Holders have shown more firmness this week,
and refrained from submitting any to public sale. Black is
held for previous rates, but the sales concluded are limited
in all sorts. Ordinary sTe good ordinary and sound
Congou Sd to 9d, middling '*:l to lid, good is to
Is 2d, fine Is 3(1 to is sd, Pekoe flavor is 6d to is 9d,
Pouchong clean 6d to 9d, Soucheng, low and middling
9d to I Id, good to fine is to 2s. In Greens purchases
to a fair extent have beer, concluded, yet holders are
compelled to accept previous moderate rates, but the
quantity on offee is nut so large as of late.
RlCE.—This afternoon there was little disposition
shown to operate in East India Rice. At public sale
1,364 bags Bengal were only in part sold at the former
value, good white 12s to 13s, and damaged 9s to 12s
per cwt.
SPIRITS.—There has been much
-nquiry after all
qualities of Jamaica Rum this week, but holders asking
a further advance of id to 2d per gallon operated
materially against business. The
_sales in consequence
are confined to 100 puns ; fair. quality 29 to 32 per cent
over proof at 3s 10d to 4s, middling and good 33 to 38
over 4s to 4s 3d, and flue 4s 4d to 45 East India has
been in extensive request,
.and advanced to is Sid
proof with certificate, at which 1,000 hhds have been
sold. Leeward Island is much wanted, and higher rates
are offered, but in consequence of the reluctance of
holders to sell, the sales are confined to 200 puns at
Is 10d to is Ild proof strength. Demerara is in much
butter request, and must be quoted 2d higher. Brandy
is held for full rates, but the sales made are of little
moment this week. Geneva is not much wanted. For
British Corn Spirits the demand is active at lOs nett cash.
011.1.—The demand has decreased for all descriptions
of common Fi,,h Oils this week, and although supplies
are not large, yet holders are core inclined to realise,
and subeeitted to reduced rates for all kinds. There
are sellers of Cod at 251 to 2515.5, still few purchasers
are to be met, and the supply is larger than of late.
The sales concluded in Seal have been of little moment.
Southern of all sorts has been dealt in with caution
by all pude., and prices are On the decline.
For Sperm we have to record a further rise in
the value, and a brisk demand has been experienced.
There is a reluctance on the part of crushers to further
reduce their prices for Linseed Oil, as supplies are not
large, and the consumption satisfactory. Rape Seed Oil
suffered a further depression as the supply is on the in-
crease, but the operation* are upon a more extended
scale. The consumption is steadily on the increase, and
, is likely so to continue. For l'situ there are few buyers,
