BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 17.—The demand is
steady, but not active, and prices are about supported, but no
advance can be quoted ; the transactions of the week are un-
important, arising in a great measure from the small supply on
show—the continuance of easterly winds keeping out the ves-
sels now due. The refined market is active, and rather
dearer.—Bristol Mercury._

---- -
LIVERPOOL, MAY 17. The temperature has become
milder the last day or two, which is now very desirable for the
backward vegetation. There was a slender attendance of
buyers of wheat and flour at this morning's market, and busi-
ness proceeded in quite a retail way, at similar prices to those
paid last Tuesday. Oats and barley were unaltered in value,
but Egyptian beans being scarcer, improved 11 per quarter.
There was a good demand for Indian corn for Ireland, at an ad-
vance of Gd per quarter ; 32s 6d per 4801bs was paid for. Ame-

being all higher, and an advance having taken place in the

(From the London New Price Current, May 17.)
Suoan.—To-day there was not much desire evinced to
operate in West India Sugar for the scale or pan, and
operations are confined to 310 hhds, &c; still, holders
are firm, and obtained fully former terms for all sorts.
The purchases are 2,030 hhds &c. for the week, and the
market closes with a firm aspect.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar sold freely for home
consumption, and former rates are well supported; there
is also a further decrease of supply. Crushed Sugar
sells more readily for exportation at former terms.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon a good demand existed
for all qualities of Mauritius Sugar, and the public sales
of 4,000 bags went at very full rates; fine and superior
yellow realised 38s 6d „to 40s 6d, low to good 34s 6d to
38s, mid to fine brown 32s to 345, and refining aorta
from 34s to 38s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—To day the public sales of PenaTT
Sugar, consisting of 30 cases and 6,200 bags, went at full
rates; white at 37a to 39s 6d, yellow 34s to 36s 6d, in •
ferior 31s to 335, brown 28s to 30a, very ord 26s to 275.
Of Madras 184 bags went at 28s 6d to 303 for brown.
FOREIGN.—At auction 831 baskets Java readily
changed hands—good and fine strong grey wont from
41s to 435, damp and washed 39s to 41s 6d, good and
fine dry yellow 39s to 40s 6d, fine brown 37s to 37s 6d;
2,200 chests of yellow Havannah—good and fine 435,
and middling 38s to 39s 6d; but 1,159 bags Siam were
withdrawn. 3,000 bags very low soft brown Manilla at
12s 3d, and at Liverpool two cargoes of Brazil have been
sold, brown at 16s to 17s, and white at 21s per cwt.
COFFEE.—Thin afternoon Coffee was operated in with
caution by private treaty for all purposes, still good ord
Native Ceylon cannot be obtained under 40s per cwt.
Of Jamaica 62 casks at auction went rather cheaper;
good mid at 565, low mid and mid 47s to 50s_, fine fine
ord 44, to 45s 6d, fine ord 42s to 435. Of Plantation
Ceylon 22 casks went at 47s 6d to 48s for low mid, and
fine pea berry at 56s to 575.
MOLASSES.—HoIders of West India do not appear dis-
posed to take lower rates; 13s 6d to 17a is the value of
low to fine. Although Bengal and Mauritius can be
obtained at the low rates of 12a to 13s per cwt, yet only
trifling purchases have been made. Honey is offered at
rather lower terms.
Cocoa.—This afternoon there was an increased de-
mand for Trinidad Cocoa, and at public sale 259 bags
sold at rather higher rates ; fine red at 45s to 50s,
other sorts 40s to 44s 6d, and grey 38, 6d to 40s. Of
Guayquil 220 bags were taken in at 30s.

TEA.—For Bieck rather lower rates having been
again accepted occasioned home dealers to be large ope-
rators this week, and of common sorts several parcels
have been taken by exporters. The value of ord and
good common Congou is Bfd to 84d, medium sorts 9d to
is ld, and better kinds is lfd to la Bd. Green has
been operated in with caution, and there are sellers
at a reduction on last week's terms; the market is also
well supported. Pekoe and scented Tea met a dull sale.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice was in brisk demand,
and former terms are well supported. At auction 2,220
bags Bengal all sold at from 8s 6d to 10s 6d for white,
and damaged 6s 6d to 9s; 60 pkgs Arrowroot, Bermuda
10d, St. Vincents aid, East India 3fd to 4d, Rio 34d to

SPIRITS.—There has been no variation in prices of
Jamaica Rum this week, still on the part of shippers or
home dealers little desire is evinced to do business, large
parcels are on offer. Demerara has been dealt in with
caution, and sellers are willing to accept 2s to 2s 4d
for 30 to 40 per cent over proof. Leeward Island
is held for is 31d to is 4i-d proof; few buyers
are, however, to be found. East India is dull
of sale, and not worth more than is 3d proof.
Brandy has been in better demand, and prices are firmer;
sales to a fair extent have been made.. Cognac best
brands of the vintage of 1849 at 4s 5d to 4s 7d, 1848 at
4s 7d to 4s 9d, 1847 ditto 5s to 5s 2d, and inferior sorts
2s 9d to 4s 4d. Former terms are asked for Geneva,
but sales have been small at Is 7d, and fine at 2s to 3s.
For British made Spirit the market is dull, with free
sellers at late rates.

INDIGO.—The quarterly sales of East India com-
menced on Tuesday, and the quantity declared was
12,228 chests, of which 8,893 were in first, and 3,335
chests in second hands, but as 1,703 chests have not been
printed the actual quantity for sale was 10,525 chests.
The total quantity passed amounts to 4,848 chests, of
which 1.871 have been withdrawn, and 475 bought in,
leaving 2,502 sold. In consequence of to-day being a
Hebrew holiday, and Monday *next Whit Monday, the
sale will not be resumed until Tuesday. Spanish sells
more freely at stiffer rates. At auction 23 serons west
at 2s lld to 3s 9d for good ordinary Cortes to fiae
Sobres.

per cwt.
