MAURITIUS.-The public sales of Mauritius Sugars last week,
went off with langour, and the prices could not be supported, ex-
cept by the brokers taking in a considerable proportion of the Su-
gars offered for sale, in consequence of this little alteration in the
prices could be stated. The public sale this afternoon 3920 bags
went off very heavily, and rather lower, but the reduction in prices
was prevented by a considerable proportion being taken in ; the
qualities which went off lower were the yellow Sugars 545. a
575. A considerable proportion of the Mauritius Sugar taken in,
has been since sold at the withdrawing prices.

Ruse, BRANDY, AND HoLLAwns.-The Rum market remains
in a very dull and depressed state, there are few purchases to re-
port, there are few parcels of either Jamaica or Leewards left in
Importers hands, the quotations are in consequence nearly nominal.
In Brandy there are also few sales, the arrivals are considerable.

TALLOW.-The market has assumed more firmness on account
of the large Russian houses refusing to sell at the present low prices,
the few sales reported are in consequence at higher rates, there ap-
pears a great improvement in the general appearance of the market.

sales.

and no parcels now offer under the latter price.
EAST INDIA COMPANY'S INDIGO SALES (First Day).-8.31
chests have passed the sale this day ; the biddings were very lan-
guid, and it was evident that the buyers, especially for export, were
very reluctant to come forward ; the result has been that the pro-
prietors have bought in largely, say about 300 chests. Compared
with the January Sale, ordinary and middling. descriptions at and
under ss. 9d., went at par ; middling and good from ss. 9d. a
6s. 3d. at about 3d., and fine at about 4d. p.'r lb. lower ; upon the
whole the rates paid this day are fully equal to those paid at the
public sales which took place on the 20th February last.
OALs.-The Oil Market generally is very dull, there is no varia-
tion in the prices.
Smx.-The Market continues bare and very quiet. There has
been an arrival of 352 bales per Hythe, from China, which has not
had any effect upon the Market. Further arrivals are looked for.
TURPENTINE.-The last arrival of rough Turpentine, about
1,000 brie. sold a shade below our quotation. There is but little
business doing in Spirits.

is not ascertained what the quantity by the East India Company
will be in the next quarterly sale, it is reported at 4 millions or 2
millions lbs., but from the high taxed cupset prices) it may be pre-
sumed that not a chest will be sold. fhe arrivals continue exten-
sive, above 30,000 packages appear in this morning's list. Deli-
