(From the London New Price Current, Sept. 19.)
SUGAIL—To-day the market was less freely supplied
with all descriptions of Colonial and Foreign Sugar, and

amounted to 532 hhds &c., at full rates for both Grocery
and Refining sorts. For the week operations were 2,000
hhds and tierces.

goods, still there was rather more business doing; low
to fine Grocery lumps at 443 to 48s per cwt.

6d to 35s for low to mid yellow.

fined chiefly to 7,000 bags unclayed Manilla paid at 28s
to 303 6d. At auction 173 hhda Porto Rico sold at 36s
to 37 for good yellow; and at 333 6d to 35s 6d for low

of ckalers to make purchases in green, and supply re-
mains large; good to fine qualities are held for previous
terms, but inferior can be obtained at a small reduc-
tion. Congou is not offered under last week's
'lves, yet purchases have been small for all pur-
poses, and supply has not decreased ; low ordinary can
be obtained at Sid to 9d, good ordinary aid to 9id,
mixed blackish leaf 10d to 10id, blackish leaf lid
to 1 lid, strong ditto is to is lid, and Pekoe flavour
la 2d to Is. 6d per 4 lb; the superior sorts remain-
i''6 the most difficult of disposal. Souchong

!letters of ord to good ord at 9d to 1 lid, mid to fine is
to is 7d, and superior is Id to 2s. Operations in

have been small this week, and rates are rather lower,
ruling at is 3d to Is 3id per gallon proof. There has
been little passing in Leeward Island, and merchants are
