LONDON MARKETS.

(From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.)

SVGAR.—The demand for Muscovades continued brisk and
extensive till towards the close of the market on Friday, when
all the West India Sugars were nearly cleared off the mar-
ket ; the prices were fully ls. per cwt. higher, no brown Mus.
covades offering under 525. ; the mid. and.. inferior sold last
week higher in proportion than the coloury, the latter were
rather lower. There are very few West India Muscovades on
sale this morning, and it will be observed the stock is much re-
duced, and the weekly delivery 900 hhds. and trcs. more than
in the corresponding week of last year; yet the market to-day
has been heavy, and the few purchases made are on easier
terms for the buyers; the fact is, the speculators formerly
suffered so severally in purchasing at the high prices
that few buyers are inclined to take more than what is necesi
sary for their immediate consumption; the estimated sales
of this day are limited to 200 to 300 hhds. and fres. The
Barbadoes public sale went off at last week's prices, but with
a considerable degree of hea'iness, 5-74.A.1.' a 61s, 64 The
stock of West'lndia Sugar is now 20,760 hhds. and trcs.,
being 2,508 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius

of West India 2,950 hhds. and trcs., being 900 more than
last year. The delivery of Mauritius 5,824 bags, being 3,730

ket rose Is. to 2s. last week, and nearly all the goods offering
were cleared off; good small Lumps 695. 6d. and 705., large
665., fine Crashed 325. ; lower qualities were held at such
advanced prices that few sales were effected. The Refined

week.

Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rummarket last week
was steady, but the purchases were most extensive; fine Ja-
maica sold 3s. 6d. to 3s. Bd. Brandy was heavy, on account of
the late large arrivals. In Geneva there was little alteration.
The Rum market is firm, and generally the holders ask higher
prices this afternoon, as Rums will be admitted into consump-
