the week 1,574 hhds and tree, whilst prices clore
gene-
rally the same as on Friday last; at auction 84 hhds
Demerara crystalized sold at 44a 6d to 495, and one lot
brown at 48s per cwt.
IZEFINED.—Tu-day the market was firm fur Refined
Sugar, and a good home trade demand was experienced;
there are few sellers of brown Lumps under 510. For
C• tidied Sugar there is a brisker sale.
IAURITII3B.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius Su gar, but privately some parcel; told at
full terms.
EAST•INDIA.—This efternoon there was more desire
evinced to operate :n Bengal Sugar. and the public sates
of 1,477 bags went at tlt' rate, ord and mid like Mau-
aitius at 37s to 38s 6d, good to tine 398 to 42s 6d, supe-
rior 43s t.) 43s 6d per cwt. Of white Bemres or grainy,
none were brought forward. .
F,BEIGN.—To-day there. was no improvement in the
demand for Foreign Sugar by private treaty, and none
was offered at: auction, but noiders would not sell at
lower rates. .

41, - rush ad offer only limited parcels

for sale, but there has been little done privately, and
the value of Bahia and Para is 30s to 31s, Guoyaquil
323 to 3.35. Of British Plantation the quantity
here is 4,483 brls and bags against 9,670 on the former
year. Holders continue to evince much confidence, and
supplying the market scantily, whilst home dealers are
desirous to operate. At public sale yestereay 128 bags
Trinidad were off,red ant sold at 473 to 53 and bags bt.
Lucia 45s per cwt; these are higher rates.
I7oFFEE.—This afternoon shippers or home dealers
manitewed little desire to operate in Coffee, but holciers
generally declined to make any further concession in
the value, supplied the market with caution. Prices for
Native Ceylon rule at from 54s to 55s per cwt. At
auction 92 casks and 62 bags of Plantation were nearly
all taken in at 62s to 63s for mid well made. A few

sive purchases have been made during the week by town
and country dealers, several parcels were also taken on
speculation, and there is an advance of 14 per la, Is 10
to is lid having been obtained, indeed some parties
will not accept these terms on account of the re-
(rced s'ock. Other kinds are iu good request,
medium is 2d to 24.1, bettt r sorts is 3d to is Bd, *nod
holders a:e less inclined to bell. Operations in green
have been upon a la,ge scale, and th, re is a small M-
y:slice, but interior and mid kinds met with most atten-
tion. In Scented and Pekin Tea a fair busiutss has
been done at rather higher terms.

RICE.—The market for East India continued in
a dull state up to Wednesday, still holders refused
to make any further concession in prices. At
auction a small part only of 1,847 bags Madras
found buyers at 8a 64 to 9s 63 fur common to good
pinky white, and at 3s to 7s per cwt for damaged.
Since then there has been a good demand, and the private
operations amount to 10.000 bags at prices fully equal
to those current on this day week. We quote good and
fine white Bengal at lOs 6d to lls 6d, low and mid 9s 6d
to lOs 3d, broken 9s to 9s 6d, pearl barley and

main firm for Patna at 12s to 183 for common to
fine, and broken at 10s 6d to Ils 6d; and there has

kinds siel to 60. Mace is not so much in request, and
is Id to 2d lower; 4 casks at auction selling at 3s 7d to
2s 9d for mid and good. For Ginger there is a quiet
market, but having a moderate supply prices are pre-
vented from declining. At auction 312 casks Bombay

cultivated, the part sold. went at 45s to 70s
fur common to mid, a few lots very ord small

Jamaica is 31 103 to 10/, Barbadoes and African 34s

been again operated in with cantiou by private treaty,
and sellers are willing to accept previous rates.

half-heavy. The value of Sumatra is from 3d to
3-43 to 3id. White has been brought to market more
