MARKET IN

(From the London .New Price Current, Dec. 5.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was only a moderate demand
or West India Sugar, still holders are firm, and ob-
tained full rates for the 466 hhds, &0., that were sold.
For the week the total operations are 2,112 hhds, &c.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with little at-
tention for home consumption, but rates are not lower,
and rule at from 43s to 48s for low to fine grocery lumps.
There are few buyers of Crushed Sugar for exportation,
with few sellers at previous terms.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was a good de-
mand for Mauritius Sugar, and at auction 4,125 bags
realised the full value, mid and good yellow selling at
32s to 355, low 30s to 31s, fine brown 28s to 29s 6d,
and ord to fine grainy yellow 34s 6d to 395; the relining
sorts realised from 29s to 34s for ord to good.
EAST INDIA..—This afternoon there was a good de-
mand for Bengal Sugar; and full rates were obtained.
At auction 1,970 bags were disposed of, fine white Be-
nares realized 38s to 395, ord to good 35s to 37s 6d,
damp and washed 345 6d to 38s 6d, good grainy
yellow 38s to 388 6d, ord and mid like Mauritius
283 to 325, and date yellow 25s to 28s, and
brown ditto 23s to 245. Of Madras 4,878 bags sold at
firm prices; soft brown at 22s to 245, yellow 24a 6d to
27s 6d, ord and mid like Mauritius 28s to 30s 6d. There
is a larger demand for Penang, and 3,329 bags at public
sale realised firmer rates, soft brown selling at 24s to
265, yellow 26s to 32s for low to good.
FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar was operated in
with caution privately for all purposes; at the same time
holders were not disposed to sell at lower rates. None
offered at public sale.
MoLAssEs.—Since this day week an extensive busi-
ness has been transacted in West India, in consequence
of the low rates that have been taken; operations are
1,000 puns at from 10s 6d to 12s, but chiefly at I is. In
Cuba and Porto Rico there is more business doing at
lls 6d to 123. The value of Bengal and Mauritius is 10s to
I Is, but few transactions are reported. Prices aro firm
for Honey at from 36s to 54s for low to fine, but the
supply is small. For Tamarinds the demand continues
to increase; East India realises 7s to 12s, and West
India 20s to 30s; the supply is also on the increase.
CoPFEE.—To-day the Coffee market presented a quiet
asp-et, shippers as well as home dealers operated with
reluctance privately, and snore was offered at public sale.
Prices are however not lower; and sound Native Ceyloa
cannot be obtained under 39s 6d per cwt.
CGcoA.—West India is not offered under previous
rates, there is however a larger quantity at market, and
dealers have operated with caution. Of 727 bags
Trinidad at sale a small part only sold, grey at from
35s to 375, low to mid red 38s to 40s, good to fine 41s
to 465; 130 bags Grenada nearly all taken in at 33s to
355. In Foreign little is doing, yet Bahia and Para
are still held for 26s to 275, Guayaquil 32s per cwt.

TEA.—Although the rates accepted for Oongou have
been rather under those prevailing previously; yet
home dealers operated with reluctance, and only trifling
parcels have been taken for exportation, there is also a
large supply. Prices for low quality now rule at 7d
to 7d, good ord 8d to 13id, blackish leaf 9cl to I Id,
superior and Pekoe flower Is tols sd; an impression exists
in some places that for the present rates have arrived at
their lowest point. In Oolong little has been done, and
a desire is evinced to sell fine at is 3d to is sd, other
sorts 9d to is 2d. Souehong is offering at rather lower
terms, and few buyers are to be met with, common and
fair quality have been selling at 8d to I Id, and other
descriptions from is to is 10d. In Scented Orange Pekoe
a good deal has been done at previous rates; a slight
reduction, however, has been acceded to for best sorts;
the rates taken for fine are from is 4d to is 7d, mid
to good is id to Is 3d, low and common 91 to ls,
Flowery Pekoe continues to attract little notice,
although common and mid can be obtained at Is to
ls 4d, good to fine is 3d to 2s 10d. Of green Tea
the supply at market has been even larger than pre-
viously, and rather lower rates have been submitted to;
yet operations are of little moment The terms acceded
to fur Hyson, of ord and mid quality are Ild to
ls 3d, good to fine ls 4d to 2s, superior 24 2d to 2s 7d;
Gunpowder Canton 8d to I Id; Hyson kind is to 2s 4d,
fina ditto 2s 6d to 3s 4d; Imperial Canton 10d to ls;
_ _

Hyson kind is Id to 2s 8d; Young Hyson from lld to
2s 6d; Scented Caper met with a slow sale at Hid to is 4d.
RlCE.—Extensive transactions have again taken place
in East India by private treaty, nearlS 12,000 bgs having
been disposed of at rathea higher rates, and the market
has a firm appearance. Bengal, ord and mid white rea-
lised 93 to 93 6d, good mid to fine 9a 9d to I Is; Madras
8s to 9s 6d, cargo Bs, Pear Barley and Arracan 8s 6d
9s; white Java lOs to I ls. Only 9,333 bags

to 103 for mid and good white, damaged 4s to Os; Ma-
dras, mid sound pinkey ss to 8s 61 For Cleaned Rico

ping. Of 370 bags Honduras at auction barely half

for Mexican silvers are 2s 8d to 2s 9d, black 3s ld to
3s 6d, and Teneriffe 33 2d to 33 Bd.
INDlGO.—Deliveries of East India are on the increase.
In Spanish transactions are small, and previous prices
barely maintained ; Flores can be obtained at 4s 10d to
ss, Sobres 4s to 4s 9d; Cortes, good to fine 3s 6d to 4s,
mid 2s 8d to 3s 4d, ord and very low is to 2s 6d; Ca-
raccas,ord to good 2s 6d to 3s 10d per lb.

rough, and prices have risen fully 64 per cwt. By pri-
vate treaty about 2,000 bgs Calcutta have been sold at
from 25s 6d to 295, but chiefly at 25s 9d for 11 per cent.
At auction 1,200 bags were sold, 71 to 9 per cent at
