COLONIAL MARKETS.—(THIS DAY)
BRITISH PLANTATION SUGAR.—The markets remain firm, and
good prices are maintained. During the last week about 3,400
hogsheads were disposed of. Demerara realized 225. 6d. to 245. 6d.
per cwt. for shipment.
FOREIGN SUGAR.-There is an increased demand for Havannahs
of the finer descriptions.

EAST INDIA SUGAR.-There is also a demand for Brownyauri-
tins. An advance of 6d. per cwt. in Bengals has taken place.
Bengals 28s. Gd. to 30s for low to fine white. Siams have also
improved 6d. per cwt., the soft yellowish White, 225.. 6d. to
235. 6d., and damp and washed, 21s. 6d. to 235. By private con-
tract, a few parcels of Bengals realized advanced prices.
REFINED SUGARS.-NO alteration.
COFFEE.-LOW descriptions have receded from Is. to 2s. Ja.
maica, 945. Gd. to 102 s. 6d. Low middling, and middling, 735. 6d.
to 85s. Gd. Berbice from 665. to 68s. Mocha, 61s. to 795. 6d.
Ceylons bought in at 465. to 4Ss. Malabar, 595. Gd. to 655. 6d.
Batavia, 50s. Gd. to .51s. 6d.
Rum.-The market continues firm, and the deliveries are not to
any great extent. During the past week near 420 puncheons were
disposed of for shipment and home consumption.
INDIGO.-The prices remain the snme as at the last sale, and
some difference of opinion exists as to the future-some thinking
the quotations will continue the same as at present, but the greater
portion of the dealers think that an increase in the prices will soon
occur, by reason of there not being any great quantity remain-
ing for the next three quarterly sales ; the loss upon importation is
near 25 per cent., which is what the present-holders will not sub-
mit to, and many bought in largely in consequence, and others
withdrawing their goods from the last sale. Caracca and Guata-
mala are in demand at firm quotations.
LAC-DYE.-A demand still exists for this article for exportation,
and the good descriptions have realized advanced quotations. There
is a desire, on the part of speculators, to take good and middling
qualities, but none being oftered, an increased price, it is antici-
pated, will soon take place.
COCHINEAL.-In this commodity there is also a good request on
shipping account : above 350 bags were, during the last month,
exported. For home consumption there is a pretty good demand,
and about 150 bags were taken by speculation within the last two
or three days, at an improvement of 3d. per lb.
SALTPETRE.--A sudden rise took place from 3s. to 4s. per cwt.
in the beginning of the last month, by reason of a speculation,
founded on the reduction of the duty on importation by the French'
Government. The price has since declined from 2s. to 3s. per
cwt., as such reduction appears not to have taken place.
TOBACCO.-During the month just ended, there were many in-
quiries for export qualities of Virginia, fit for the northern
and southern parts of Europe, and more business would
have been done had the market contained such qua-
lities ; but little being at 'market, and the holders remaining
firm, higher prices were demanded in some cases : for these de-
scriptions very little improved demand can be expected until the
new crop is brought to market at the end of next month, or in
October ; and for which the importers are expecting improved
quotations, from the prices being higher in the United States.
During the month about 1004hds. of mid. leafy, part a little
damaged, were sold at 4:114. to 41%d. for the South, and about 50
hhds. of strip and leaf at from 3%d., 4d., to 41Ad. for the North,
common leaf 33/4d. to 4d. About 100 hhds. fine dark black, sweet
scent, at sd. to 51d., of which sort very little remains in the
market.

COTTON:-There is no alteration in the market, and business is
not quite so brisk.

TiLLow is still at 435. 6d. per cwt. The deliverers keep low,
but the stocA does not increase rapidly, as the Russians are holding
back for higher prices.

Hors.-. The -duty has advanced to 110,000/. to 112,000/.

PRICE OF BREAD.

The highest price of Bread in the Metropo:67 is St4d. for the 41b. Loaf
There are others who sell from a half-penny to three half-pence below
that rate.
