( From tile London New Price Current of September 28.)
SUGAR.-To-day importers of British Plantation were firm,
and a good demand existed for both grocery and refining pur-
poses ; the prices established on Friday are fully supported ;
indeed, for good and fine yellow sorts, which were the most in
request, and of which the supply at market is not ample
tnr the wants of the trade, 6d to .1s advance were paid-a
board of fine yellow Antigua fetched 70,1. Several orders for
Sugar have arrived from Ireland and Scotland. The purchases
are 750 hhds and trs, including the sales.
There were two public sales of Barbadoes, consisting of 195
hhds 23 trs, which attracted a good attendance of the trade,
and the whole found purchasers. Good and fine sorts went with
spirit at Is advance, other kinds at full rates; fine yellow sold
it 67s 6d to 695, good 64s to 66s 6d, mid and good mid 60s
to 635, low heavy 55s to 58s Gcl per cwt.

and trs, which is 1,897 more than last year at the same period.
The stock of Mauritius is 80,232 bags, being 64,234 more
than last year. The stock of Bengal is 75,333 bags, which is

REFINED.-To-day the purchases were limited in Refined
Goods, and there were sellers of Standard Lumps at 80s, with
few buyers. Treacle moved off slowly at 25s to 31s, but for
Pieces and Bastards a good demand existed at the rates quoted
above. Bonded Crushed Sugar was taken sparingly, but par-
cels of first quality could not be obtained under 29s 9d per cwt.

parcels were disposed of at hilt rates ; at public sate 850 bags

tion 289 casks Bengal Syrup were taken in at 25s per cwt.
To-day some parcels of West India were sold at full rates.
COFFEE.-This afternoon few purchases were made pri-
vately in Coffee for shipping, but Foreign was not procurable
on lower terms, but the home consumption market exhibited
a mere lively aspect, and prices were more settled ; the pun
chases privately were on a more extended scale. At auction
88 casks 13 barrels Jamaica and 100 bags Padang were of-
fered ; the former all sold at full rates ; good middling at
120 s, low middling 955, good to fine ordinary 62s 6d to 88s,

2s 93 for small parcels of fine. British Corn Spirits hare been
in good iequest at 103 4d cash.
To-day the Rum Market was in a dull state, the large ar-
rivals causing both shippers and the home trade to operate with
much caution, and the few parcels sold were at lower rates ; is
lld is the nearest quotation for proof Leewards, and Is 5d to
Is 6d for Calcutta; the low price at which the Gsrernment
contract was taken has surprised many parties. Brandy is
held firmly, but there was not much business transacted to-clay.

trade being desirous to get into stock, large parcels have been
disposed of at rather higher rates. The duty is backed at
only 150,0001., picking having proved less than had been anti-
cipated ; the quality is complained of. Many parcels of new
have made their appearance at market. New middling Kent
Pockets have been selling at 140 s to 180 s for choice qualtty,
Weald of Kent 1203 to 1455, Sussex 115 s to 130 s.

sian Tallow to-day, and a fair business was done, but no im-
provement in prices could be noticed; 48s is the nearest price
for fine yellow Candle on the spot, though 47s 9d has in some
instances been accepted ; the latter price would be taken for
parcels deliverable up to the end of ttie year.
