SUGAR.—
Foreign !nt bupnly
importers are. less Ai
‘-,lP`led to 'realise, and of
at market has
both Colonial and
t_o preceding ,
much fallen short of hvi"-I the
tendency has also ceased, aud there
proved ex-
port demand; at present, however, snore dealers are nut
disposed to operate, but this is not likely to ho the
cam,
long, as consumption is satisfactory, prices
,on the
average 6s per c st under this time last season, and on ta,,,,,
descripti ns there is a very small profit on the importa-
tion; indeed, on brown East India merchants are sus-
taining a loss. Of all kinds arrivals here aro this season
203 390 tons, sgainst 180,890 in the preceding one;
home trade deliveries amount to 161,600, and in 1850 to
this time 875,680; for exportation the quantity taken
has been 17,400, and last season 24.300; stocks are now
87:9(0, and in the preceding year 59,00 tons. Former
terns are obtained for West India; only limited trans-
actions, however, have taken place, low to fine brown
a', 281 to 30s 6d, yellow 303 61 to 38s 6d, and refining
qualities 293 to 31s per cwt. the latter descriptions and
brown having been the least in rmquest. Purchases oat
Tuesday and '.Vcdnesday were 700 hilds, &e., including
at auction 194 1,11'!a, 6 tierenv Barba.does, which
realised steady pr.css, !off yellow selling at
31s to 323 Gd, middling 43s te 34s 6d,
good mid to good 35s to 374 61, tind fine 38s to 39s 6d.
Stick of `'tiro:t India is 11;900 tons more than last season.
At the principal ports clearances for home consumption
of all sorts are this year 5,706,840 ewt. Arrivals of
East and West Indio. Sugar have been large this week.
Colonial is cheap( r than Foreigu Sugar, but this is not
expected to be the case long.
REFINED.—Then 3 is a further increase in the home
trade demand for Refined Sugar, and an improvement in
prices has taken place of 6d. Per cwt; the market is
nearly cleared, and lower qualities have been most in de-
mand; consumption continuos to be greater than in the
previous season, and rates rule 3 to 4s per cwt under that
time. For brown lumps the prices paid have been ‘1,13 6d
L to 444; Tirtlers, low to fire 443 to 483 6d, double 49s to
A -bOsi' liamburgh Loaves 4436 d to ,
49s tid double 508 to
-,t..\-A

51s; and Standard Lumps 44s 6d per cwt; there are few
sellers for delivery at these rates, the difference being
only 12s per cwt between the raw and refined material.
Wet Lumps have been in brisk demand, and stiffer rates
are obtained—good to fine selling at 43s to 445, inferior
423 to 42s 6d; the supply is on the decrease. Foreign
Refined Sugar rather more in request; stocks are mode-
rate, and rates firm, low to fine Loaves realize from 433
6d to 493. Bastards have been operated in with more
freedom, in consequence of the low terms taken, and
which are from 23s to 278. Pieces have been in good
request; prices, however, remain at 29s to 34s for low
to mid, and at 35s to 40s for good to fine. Of Treacle
many parcels have been sold, and there is a further de-
crease of supply; boiled from West India Molasses
realizes 115 to 12s, Patent 12s to 13s, and Golden
Syrup 143 to 153. Few sellers are to be met with
at present rates, as consumption is evidently on
the increase. Crushed Sugar has been operated
in with reluctance for exportation, and there being a fair
supply, a desire is evinced to sell British at 26s 6d to
275; Dutch, low to mid 22s to:24s, better sorts 245 6d to
275; and Belgian at 24s to 255, but refiners are obtain-
ing oily small profits. Treacle continues to be wanted
for slipping at 12s 6d to 13s. In Pieces operations are
Email at 243 to 255, and Bastards 19s to 21s. Loaves

continue to be purchased with reluctance for exporta-
tion, and there are sellers of Turkey 1 to 53.- lbs at 403
to 455; Hambro 6 to 15 lbs 303 to 31s 6d; Tittlers 22
to 30 lbs 28s 6.1 to 295; Prussian 40 to 45 lbs 283; Bel-
gian made Leaves 10 lbs 26s to 28s; and Dutch 10 lbs
29; 6.1 to 31s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-In Kbaut Bengal an extensive business
has been concluded privately, about 10,000 bags having
bean disposed of at 22s to 23s per cwt; a part has been
taken for distilling. For other sorts of Bengal rather
lower rates having been taken, occrsioned a fair de-
mand to prevail. At auction 6,400 bags were nearly all
disposed of; fine white Benares went at 37s to 38s 6d,
mid to good 35s 6d to 36s 6d, low 34s 6d to 355, damp
and washed 34s to 37s 6d, mid and yellow like Mauri-
tius 30s to 335, fine 34s to 34s 6d, common:, 285 to 295,
fair and good date yellow 26s to 28s. Privately. grainy
yellow has been selling at 33s to 395, brown ditto 29s to
325, and white diito 40s to 455. Penang is in more plen-
tiful supply, and a slight reduction has taken place:
but 3,368 bags at auction were all sold; soft brown
went at 23s to 243 6d, yellow 25s to 30s, and a few
lots common to mid white 31s 6d to 335, the value
of better sorts is 34s to 375. In brown Madras a good
deal has been done privately in consequence of previous
low terms of 223 to 23s 6d per cwt having been taken at
auction, 1,500 bags were disposed of; ord to find soft
brown at 223 6d to 24a, common grocery 28s 6d to 29s 6d,
mid and good ditto 30s to 34s 6d white at 30s to 335.
Of Ceylon none has again been offered at auction.
FOREIIIN.-There is less desire on the part of holders
to sell; and the quantity offered is smaller than for some
weeks. A good business has been concluded for
shipping and refining under bond, but grocers
have operated with caution. The rates obtained
are equal to those of this day week, and
privately transactions to that time have been 5,000 chests
yellow Havannah at 32s to 355, for low to mid, small
parcels is good to fine 36s 6d to 38s, florettes 38s 6d to
40s; 400 chests Brazil brown 26s 6d to 29s 6d, yellow
303 to 335, white 34s to 395; 3,000 bags Manilla 27s to
323, small parcels Java in bond at from 143 to 235,
white Havannah 22s to 265. Only one public sale has
been held this week, comprising of 2,722 bags clayed
Manilla which realized 293 to 31s 6d for yellow, but
chiefly 313. Floating cargoes are rather more in de-
mand, but moderate rates are offered, and one has been
sold at 19s 3d per cwt equal to 13i.
COFFEE.-Although Native Ceylon is offered at a
small reduction, yet privately operations are limited,
low to good ord at 383 to 395, and better quality 393 6d
to 403. Of 700 bags at auction a part only found
buyers. The market is not expected to remain long in
a quiet state on account of the reduced stocks held
by dealers. A fair business has been concluded in
Plantation Ceylon, previous moderate rates are ac-
cepted for all qualities, and home dealers the chief
operates. At auction 270 casks and 100 bags were
nearly all disposed of ; fine went at from 60s to 63s 6d,
good mid to good 54s to 58s, mid 503 to 545. low mid
48s 6d to 49s 6d, fine to fine fine ord 44s to 48s,
other sorts 42s to 433 fid, triage 36s to 423, and
very ord 31s 6d to 35s For superior sorts of Coffee the
rates demanded are 64s to 70s, and pea berry from 56s
to 645. Of Jamaica none has been submitted to public
sale, and privately transactions are trifling; prices, how•
ever, remain for good and fine at 58s to 803, low mid
to mid 493 to 56, fine to fine ord 41s to 48s, and in-
ferior 37s to 40s; stock rather exceeds that of
last season. Of *oche, there is an increasing supply,
and dealers operating with reluctance, prices have further
declined 15 to 2s; of 330 bales at auction a small portion
only sold, mid small greenish clean garbled went at
653 6d, fine yellowish long berry at 80s, good ditto 753
to 765, and triage 315 to 453; stock varies little from
this date last year. Other East India sorts continue
to meet with little attention; supply is, however, not
larger; prices for Padang and Sumatra rule at 35s to
375, Madras 39s to 445, better sort 45s to 475; Telli-
cherry, good to fine 50s to 565, low to mid 40s to 495:
Singapore Java 385 to 425, Company's 46s to 50s,
and Mysore 38s to 455. In consequence of the
limited demand for Foreign Coffee previous rates
are barely sustained, although only a moderate
quantity is on offer : the chief transactions fur the week
are 2,000 bags Rio at 38s 6d for good firsts; there are
sellers of other kinds at from 35s to 38s, washed 40s to
443 ; St. Domingo 375 to 395; Costa Rica, ord to good
ord 41s to 435, fine to fine ord 44s to 495, low mid and
mid 40s to 565, superior 58s to 645 ; Laguayra from 393
to 563; Porto Rico 39s to 545, and Cuba from 40s to 603.
MAURITIIIS.-There has been no further reduction,
and only one small parcel was submitted to public sale;
privately, however, operations have been of little
moment, both for the pan and scale; the value of fine
and good yellow is 32s 6d to 375, low to good mid ditto
303 to 325, good to fine brown 27s to 293 6d, low to mid
233 to 263 6 I, refining qualities 27s to 345, and erystal-
ized 32s to 40s.

Cocoa.—Prices have ceased to decline for West India,
and a less amount is on offer ; dealers, however, are
little disposed to operate. The valuo of low to fine Tri-
nidad if from 39s to 465, grey 33s to 38s, and Granada
31s to 38e. Foreign is offered at moderate rates, still
transactions have been trifling. At public sale 400 bags
Para were taken in at 26s 6d, and 200 bags Bahia at 255.
MOLASSES.—The parcels sold were at from 11s to 12s
6d, but chiefly at I is to 125. Porto Rico and Cuba are
wanted at 12s, and there are few sellers. Bengal and
Mauritius in small supply, and wanted at 13s 6d to I is
per cwt. There continues to be a fair demand for
Honey, and supply is less than for some time past;
prices for Jamaica rule at from 34s to 48s, fine at 503 to
555. There are still several buyers of Tamarinds; East
India at 8s to 12s, and `Vest India 20s to 30s.
TEA.—There is no reduction to notico in the
value of Congou, there is a reluctance to operate for
all purpos% s, and stock continues to increase. The
value ot low quality is 7d to 7d, good ord sound 8d to
Bid, blackish leaf 9d to Ild, superior and Pekoe kinds
Is to 63. Few buyers of Souchong are to be met
with, and there are sellers of good to fine at is to is
10d, low to mid 8d to 11d. Oolong continues in fair de-
mand, still rates remain is 2d to is 4d for good to tine,
and inferior to mid 9d to Is 13. For commong Young
Ilyson and clean :Canton Gunpowder there are free
buyers at previous currency. Other sorts of Green met
with little attention, and former rates are barely sus-
tained. The general quotations are for Hyson, low to
mid lld to Is 2d, good so fine is 3d to 2s, superior 2s
2d to 23 10d; Gunpowder Canton 9d to Is, llyson kind
good to fine is 7d to 3s 4d, low to mid ditto is Id to
Is 6d, Imperial Canton l Id to is id, Hyson kind is 2i
to 23 6d, Young Hyson, good to fine is 3d to 2s 6d,
other sorts is to is 2d. Twankey is to Is 3d, and
Hyson skin I Id to is 3d. The better qualities of
Scented Orange Pekoe continues to be wanted, but
there are few buyers of inferior. Prices for fine rule
at is 4,1 to is Bd, mid to good is to is 3d, and common
9d to I Id. In Flowery Pekoe there is still little doing
low as prices rule; ord and mid being offered at is to
is 3d, good to fine is 4d to 2s, and superior 2s 2d to
2a 9d. In Caper purchases are yet trifling at lOs to is
ld and Scented 11d to is
RlCE.—White Bengal can be obtained at from 9s to
103 6i, cargo 7s 6d to Bs, Madras pinky 8s to 8s 6d,
Bengal grain Ss 6d to 9a, white Java 9s to lOs 6d, Ar-
raean and Pearl Barley 8s 3d to 9s per ewt. Rico is
still cheaper than at this date last season. There is
at present little business doing in Cleaned, yet
prices are firm;i Caroline at 51s to 275, Patna Its
6.5 to 16s, and broken 10s 6d to I ls. Ame-
rican is still in small supply, and held for
174 to 18s. Orders are limited for Sago, small pearl
can be obtained at 15s 6d to 18s, and large grain at 20s
to 235. Sago Flour is wanted at 12a to 12s 6d, and
Farina at 13s to 14s. In Tapioca rather more is doing
at lid to 4id. Prices for Arrowroot rule firm; there is
at present only a small demand, Bermuda at is to is Id,
other sorts West India lid to Bd, Brazil and East India
lid to 2d.
• SPlCES.—Holders of Pimento are still desirous to sell,
and submitted to a reduction of I hd per lb. A fair busi-
ness in consequence has been concluded privately. At
auction 312 bags were all sold, mid and good at 44d to
4-id, low and good old 3-1-id to 4d, and damaged 31d to 4d.
Prices are d to Id per lb lower than at this time last
season. Pepper is not cheaper. The value of Malabar is 3id
to aid, Sumatra and Penang 3d to 3fd per lb. There are
several buyers of white from 6d to I Id. Cloves are
purchased with caution, and prices are rather lower. At
public sale 350 bags Bourbon sold at sid to 6id, and
damaged sid to 6d. Privately, sound Amboyna can be
obtained at 7d to 74d, and Penang 10d to is Id. There is
no increase in the supply ot Cassia Lignea, but the de-
"'l' (lly for small parcels from 110 s to 120 Cassia
Vera met • 3.
with a slow stile at 43s to 555. Buds are still

for 30 to 40 per cent over proof. Leeward Island has
been sold to a fair extent at is 5d to is 6d proof; sup-
ply remains limited. East India is wanted, and realises
is 3id to is 4d. Prices :are firm for Jamaica, and a
good demand exists, the lower qualities being most in
request, and of such the quantity on offer is less than of
late. The rates paid for fine 34 to 38 overproof were
from 3s 2d to 4s 2d, good mid and good 32 to 35 over
2s 9d to 3s, mid 2s 6d to 24 Bd, and common 28 to 30

is also a good business doing.LSeveral transactions Savo
taken place in Geneva, common at Is 7d to is Bd, and
fine is 9d to 2s per gallon.
INDIGO.—There is yet little business doing in East
India for any purpose, and the rates taken are 2d to 3d
per lb. under those of the last quarterly sales, although
deliveries are equal to last season. Spanish has been
sold to a fair extent at previous rates of 2s 4d to ss, low
and clean is 3d to 2s 2d.

COCHINEAL.—The demand is not brisker, and previous
rates are barely supported. At auction 100 bags Hon-
duras were mostly sold at 2s 9d to 3s Id for ord to good
Silvers; black 3s Id to 4s 3d for common to fine; 18 bgs
Mexican Silvers 2s 7d to 2s 8d; and 60 bgs Teneriffe 3s
Id to 3a 3d per lb.
TALLOW.—The stock is 10,000 casks more than at
this time last year; there is an increase in deliveries of
6,000, and prices rule rather under that time. Russian
on the spot is not offered at a further reduction; there is,
however, only a limited business doing. Fine old
yellow Candle can be obtained at 35s 6d to 37s 3d, and
new ditto 36s 6d to 36s 9d. Few transactions have
taken place for delivery, and there are sellers at 36s 9d
to 37s for the early port of next year. Home melted,
❑owever, remains in good demand, but is offered at
36s 6d to 375, net cash, there being no decrease of
supply. Other sorts of Tallow have been operated in
with caution. South American at from 34s to 365,

with firmness, and several transactions have taken place
pale at 321 331, straw and tinged 31s to 31s 15s, yellow
and brown 291 103 to 301 13s. Of Southern there
is still only a limited quantity on offer, and the rates paid
have been from 321 to 351 for low to fine quality. Ope-
rations in Sperm are upon a small scale, and a desire
is evinced to sell at 841 to 851103. Prices for Head-
matter rule et 921 to 951. Cocoh Nut is in good demand
both for home consumption and shipping, and few par-
cels are on offer, rates in consequence range firm:
Ceylon and Cochin at 32s to 355, Sydney 29s to
31s. There is a reluctance to operate in Palm; and fine
can be obtained at 265. The market has a quiet aspect
for Rape Oil, and prices are on the decline; brown being
offered at 31s, pale 325, and Foreign Refined at 33s to 33s
6d. Olive is not cheaper; there is, however, less busi-
ness doing; but consumption is not smaller; prices
for Galipoli rule at 421 to 43/, and other sorts 451 10s,
to 411 10 per tun. Linseed Oil is in less request for all
purposes. and prices :have slightly declined ; but there
is no decrease of consumption, or is supply,larger. On
the spot rates rule at 26s 9d to 27s per cwt. There are
sellers for delivery up to the middle part of next year at
27s per cwt; yet few contracts have been entreed into.
