(From the London New Price Current of November 17.)
SUCAa.—Today there was less desire evinced to operate,
in bright grocery and strong refined descriptions of West
India Sugar, but the supply at market being small, mer-
chants were for the most part enabled to obtain prices equal
to those of Friday.
REFINED.—:-To-day Refined Sugar was in good request for
home consumption, and there were not generally sellers of
low brown lumps at 62s to 62s 6d, brown grocery 635, and
standard lumps at 61s per cwt. The market has decidedly an
improving appearance.
Mor.AssEs.—There are sellers of all descriptions of West
India upon further reduced terms; still the business trans-
acted has been extremely limited at 21s to 255. Bengal
Treacle met with less attention, and previous rates are not
obtainable.

Mauftmus.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 4,393 bags, and
consisted of strong grainy kinds, but there was not much
desire to operate, and merchants were compelled to reduce
their prices is per cwt. to dispose of the whole.
EnsT Mara.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 2,093 bags, were offered at public sale;
the chief part consisted of strong yellow sorts like Mauritius,
and was taken in at stiff rates.
Fonmox.— Holders of Foreign Sugar still have confidence,
and supply the market sparingly, whilst the deliveries are
again larger than the arrivals. The home trade have mani-
fested little desire to purchase the brown or inferior qualities,
and they are obtainable rather under previous rates. There
has been little passing privately in any description for ex-
portation or refining under bond, but holders are firm, and
insist upon fully previous rates; few parcels are on offer. At
public sale 625 hhds and 210 brls of Porto Rico were taken
in rather above the value.

CoFFEE.—To-day there was not much desire manifested to
operate in Foreign Coffee. At auction 434 casks 73 bags
Cuba were only in part sold at a fall on former rates of 2s

dinary pale 35s to 41s 6d, good ordinary 3- to 33s 6d, ordi-

sound 39s 6d to 61s; 172 bags Costa Rica only partly sold—
good ordinary foxey 33s to 345; 79 casks Porto Rico taken
in—fine ordinary coloury 50s ; 474 bags La Guayra only in
part sold—good middling coloury brown 555, brown or-

nary coloury mixed, Ceylon was only in limited demand by
private treaty, and 516 bags at auction were taken in at
38s for good ordinary pale, which is the full value, but a
few lots of Plantation sold at 69s for good middling
coloury, 27a to 35s for triage, and black 10s. ; 426 bags East
India sold at 24s 6d to 268 for good and fine Padang, and 21s

black; 75 bales Mocha—good middling long bean 62s 6d,
triage 28s to 30s, damaged 24s to 525, pea berry 50s 6d.
TE&.—The market has still an improving appearance for
all descriptions, and there is a less quantity on offer. The
low prices—the enormous consumption—the prospect of a
reduction being made in the duty, and the heavy losses mer-
chants are yet sustaining upon the importation, cause the
trade to be of opinion that they cannot act unwisely in ge

firmness. There has been a good demand for
Leeward Island, and the rates paid have been fully
equal to those previously current. There has been much in-
quiry after East India, and stiff rates offered, but the supply has
become small. In the Brandy market there has not been so
much activity, and prices are looking down for the older
sorts, but young kinds bring full rates ; Geneva has been
less in demand, and prices are not so firm. For British
Spirits the demand is yet active.
Ong.—lmporters of Olive Oil manifest firmness.

quence of the increasing supply, but a good demand has
