LONDON MARKETS.
(From the" London New Price Current" of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The demand for West India Muscovades is
very considerable for the. season of the year; the esti-
mated sales this week are 2,800 hhds. and trcs. ; the
good and fine are rather higher and scarce, the lower
qualities and pan Sugars dull and lower. The Refined
Market is rather higher, and firm at the advance; the
chief purchases are still confined to Crashed, of which
extensive parcels have been taken off at 30s. 6d., and as
the Market is not well supplied, the holders now ask
31s. for fine ; the purchases of inferior made from Foreign
Sugar are at 295. 6d. This afternoon the Refined Sugars
continue in demand for export to the Mediterranean, and
the fine qualities, entitled to the bounty on double refined,
being still scarce, are held more firmly, and offers of
30s. 6d. have to-day in many instances been refused,
the Refiners demanding 315., and there are now scarcely
any sellers under that price. Of the sorts refined from
Foreign Sugar in bond for export, also same sales have
been made, low and mid. 295. a 295. 6d., and fine at 30s.
Misnames SUGAR.--The public sales are about
6,000 bags, the good and fine fully supported prices, good
to fine yellow and low white 545. a 585., all other qua-
lities went off rather lower and very heavily, low to
mid. yellow 51s. a 535., good and fine strong browns
50s. a 508. 6d., a considerable parcel consisted of very
ord. sorts and in bad condition, and went at 375. a 478.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—The prices are nominal, and the
purchases quite inconsiderable. The stock and imports of
1833 are very nearly the same as'the preceding year.
FOREIGN SUGAR.—There are no sales to report. The
import and stock of Havannah sugar are both less than
the preceding sear. The import and stock of Brazil are
both considerably above the year preceding.
COSTEE.—The first public sale of Coffee this year took
place yesterday, 122 casks, 68 barrels, 364 bags British
Plantation have been brought forward ; the Demerara

was Is. a Is. 6d. higher ; earthy sold at 855.; the Jamaica
sold without briskness at former prices; good to fine ord.
85s. a 89s. The foreign and East India descriptions t.f
Coffee are held with much firmness for higher prices ;
there are buyers of St. Domingo at 595., and Ceylon at
575., but no sellers. This day's public sale '73 casks 9S
bags British Plantation, nearly the whole was taken in,
Demerara and Dominica at firmer prices. By private
contract some Sumatra has been sold at 48s.
TEA.--The declaration for March Sale, the last whic't
the East India Company have to give, is so large as to
cause a stagnation in the market.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.--The Governitinit
contract declared for 75,000 gallons of Rum has occa-
sioned a further small rise in prices, and a still firtner
market ; there ar now very few Leewards left in the im-
porters' hands, and 2s. Id. is the nearest quotation li:r
