The supply of Beasts on offer was by no means extensive,
yet the Beet trade was in a very inactive state, and in some
instances the quotations had a downright tendency. We
had on sale 61 Oxen from Spain, rid Southampton, 42 Oxen
from Hamburgh, 115 Oxen and Cows, 687 Sheep and Lambs,
and 55 Calves from Holland, in, for the most part, good con-
dition. The numbers of Sheep were not large, while the
Mutton trade was very steady at fully Monday's currencies.
In Lambs only a moderate *business was doing, yet priceF,
were well supported. Prime smail Calves sold at a trifle
more money, but the middling and inferior qualities of Veal
hung on hand. The Pork trade was dull at late rates.
Milch Cows moved off slowly, at from 161 to 181 each, in-
cluding their small Calf ; Suckling Calves, 18s to 29s ; and
quarter-old store Pigs, 16s to 19s each. Beasts, 772; Cows,
124; Sheep and Lambs, 9,180; Calves, 345; Pigs, 240.

(From the London New Price Current of August 28.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was little desire evinced to operate
in West India Sugar, and prices are still lowering ; the
quantity sold was only 250 hhds and tierces. The market
closes with a quiet appearance for sugar, the produce of
both free and slave labour.

REFINED.—Tt: ere has been a considerable falling off in
the demand for Refined goods for home consumption this
week ; the refiners have been desirous to sell, and sub►nited to
a rettuction in prices of 6d to is per cwt, still all descriptions
have been sparingly dealt in. Treacle has not risen in value,
but there has been a much better demand, and large parcels
have been sold. Purchases to a fair extent have been made
in Bonded Crushed Sugar, but not at better prices.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with
little attention, and 4,563 bags 296 casks at public sale went
at a decline on former rates of Is to 2s per cwt.
EAST afternoon Bengal Sugar was rot much
in demand, and 4.540 bags at auction went 6d to is per cwt
cheaper, but nearly the whole sold. Madras has declined in
value Is.

FOREIGN.— To-day Porto Rico Sugar was not so much in
request, still 1,405 blids 164 barrels at auction were chiefly
sold, and at prices that averaged those previously current.
CorFEE.—This afternoon West India Coffee was sparingly
dealt in, and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to
264 tierces and bags Jamaica, a small part only sold 2s under
former rates. For Ceylon the market has a quiet appearance.
TEA.—The market h, s presented a dull appearance all the
week, and there is a larger quantity on offer piivately of all
descriptions. Although there are sellers of Black upon rather
lower terms, still the town and country trade operated with
caution, taking only stra:ient for their immediate warts.
Green Tea has met with little attention, and prices are going
down. The trade generally hold a fair quantity of all kinds
of Tea. Public sales will be declared shortly.
RlCE.—There has been much inquiry after Bengal for
home consumption as well as for exportation, and buyers are
willing to pay a further advance, but the supply at market.
being small, purchases of moment are prevented ; by private
contract many parcels have been sold. Java is wanted, but
the market is still without supply. There are many buyers
of Madras at the high rates of 16s to 17s, but few parcels are
to be had.

Sricsts.—There has not been much desire manifested to
operate privately in Cassia Lignea, and 100 chests at auction
sold at barely previous rates. Black Pepper has not im-
proved in value, but there has been a brisker demand, and
privately several parcels have been disposed of.
SANTPETRE.—To-day Rough met with little attention pri-
vately, at public sale 1,255 bags of Calcutta were offered, and
all taken in at easier rates. English Refined is still in goad
demand, and prices are firm. Nitrate of Soda has been less
in request, and prices have fallen.
COHINKAL.—This afternoon there was little demand, and
the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 112 bags ,:f
Honduras, were only in part sold, at a fail on the
former rates of 2d to 3d for the lower sorts of silvers, but in
the value of the better kinds little variation took place; low
foxy to good went at 4s 1 ld to 5s 9d.

Srutri's.—lmporters of Jamaica—Rum are unwilling to
reduce their prices, although the home and export demand
has been limited for all descriptions; the purchases this week
have not exceeded 100 puns. Lek ward Island has met with
little attention, but prices eo not give way. For Calcutta
Is 1116 d to 2s are t'-^ rates insisted upon for proof with certi-
ficate, but there are tew orders. Demerara is not cheaper, but
the demand has been trifling. Brandy has been in excellent
demand for borne consumption; several export orders w,..te
-execttted,;indfurtler.,advanced rates giveii ; .the home con-
sumption is rapidly on the increase. Geneva has been
larg4ly dealt in tor exportation, and higher rates are given.
British Corn Spirits have been in excellent demand, and
prices are firm.
Ott s.—ln Rape Seed Oil sales to a large extent have been
made and at firm rates. In Linseed Oil any further
im-
provement has been prevented from taking place by the in-
creased quantity produced ; the demand from the home
' trade however has been good, but for exportation
there has been scarcely any business transacted.
Olive Oil has been extensively dealt in, and holders evince
firmness. The parcels of Cocoa Nut Oil disposed of were at
firm rates. Palm has met with a good demand. American
Lard Oil has been sparingly dealt in. For Cod Oil the
market has a dull appearance. There are very few shipping
orders for Seal, and the home trade have operated with cau-
tion. Southern is not to be had upon lower terms, but only
a limited business has been transacted.

TALLOW.—AII descriptions have met with increased atten-
tion, and prices are on the advance, notwithstanding arrivals
are on the increase from all quarters. Russian has been ex-
tensively dealt in on the spot, and the rates given show an
advance on those of this day week of 9d per cwt. For for-
ward delivery a good deal has been done, and at improved
rates. Town Tallow has been readily disposed of on the
spot at 40s 6d to 41s.
