COLONIAL MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

The Colonial markets, as well as other places of business,
are closed to-day. The transactions in produce during the
week have been on an increased scale, and an opinion is enter-
tained that, after the Easter holydays shall have passed, com-
mercial matters will assume a brighter aspect.
BRITISH PLANTATION SUGAR.—There is great firmness dis-
played in the market, and the business done has been at an
advance of from 6d. to Is. the cwt. Full 2,000 hhds. have
been sold, which includes 101hhds. of Barbadoes Sugars, and
they must be quoted 6d. per cwt, higher for good and fine qua.
lities, as they realized 60s. to 625. per cwt.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—Bahia Sugars are rather higher, but
there have been no bargains, of any consequence, during the
week.

EAST INDIA SUGAR.—Mauritius Sugars are 6d. to Is. per cwt.
higher, and 10,471 bags have this week been sold. Bright
Grocery Grey sold at 58s. to 60s. 6d., and Soft low, to fine
strong Grey Yellow at 51s. to 575. 6d. per cwt. Bengal Sugars
are purchased readily at 245. to 30s. 6d. per cwt. for Yellow to
colouring good White. The business in foreign descriptions is
limited. Marseilles have sold at 245. per cwt., being 6d per
cwt. higher, and Java at 235. to 245. per cwt. for Middling Grey
sorts. _ ....

REFINED SUGAR.—Offers are making for Crushed at 315.,
but holders ask 31s. 6d. per cwt. Business is therefore con-
tracted. _ _ _

COFFEE. —We noticed on Tuesday, that the favourable accounts
from Jamaica respecting the state of the crops had restricted busi.
ness. This has continued all the week, but the holders do not
seem disposed to give way, and the quantity offered by pub.
lic sale has been chiefly withdrawn. Some fine fine ord. to
mid. blue Berbice fetched 78s. 6d. to 85s. per cwt.; Foreign
Coffees are 25., and East India Coffees Is. 6d. to 2s. per cwt.
cheaper. Mocha Coffee has advanced, the demand having in.
creased, as it was below its relative value; and 575 bales and
71 robins have been sold at from 635. 6d. to 70s. per cwt. for
good ord. brown to good green and yellow mixed qualities.
The public sales of the week have comprised 3,061 bags of St.
Domingo, 760 bags of Brazil, and 214 bags of Sumatra. Of
the St. Domingo only part was sold at 58s. 6d. per cwt., of good
colour. The Brazil was also sold. The Batavias were with.
drawn at 545. Low good ord. Sumatras sold at 455. 6d. to
465. ; and about 500 bags were also sold by private contract
at 475. to 48s. for bright good ord. Fine ord. Brazil has
realized 61s. per cwt.

_
TEA.—The deliveries continue to be pretty extensive, and
the trade is in an active state. Competition appears to be the
order of the day.
RuM.—The Market is steady, but not much doing. Proof
Leewards are at 2s. 4d. per gallon.
Isnico.—The near approach of the East India Company's
sale tends to check the business in this article. As the Stocks
on the Continent are understood to be limited, as well as among
the manufacturers of this country, the next sale, it is thought,
will go off briskly.
SALTPETRE.— There is a better demand; about 110 tons and
420 bags have been sold at improved prices. Qualities of sto
1 54 refraction have sold at 28s. to 295. Gd. per cwt.
Cambs.—The sales of the week are not far short of 1,000
bales, at firm prices. About 225 bales of Pares, included in
the sales, went off at 91d. to 91d. per lb.
SPloES.—Pepper is in demand, and the late rise is freely
given. About 225 chests of Cassia Lignea have been sold at
from 755. 6d. to 765. Gd. per cwt.

THE WOOL TRADE.-The market for Wools is rather more
active. Some public sales of Colonial and other Wools are
announced for the commencement of the ensuing month, the
result of which is looked for with some interest, as establishing
the prices of this important article. The importations from
Germany are not considerable, though perhaps more than
might have been expected at this season of the year. The
forthcoming sales comprise in all 18,011 bales of Australian,
Russian, Tuscany, Spanish, (of which there are 1,000 bales,)
and other wools.

TALLOW remains at 445. per cwt. Town Tallow is Is. per
cwt. lower, viz., at 466. pia cwt.
