The supply of Beasts was only moderate, yet the Beef
trade was in a very sluggish state, and Monday's prices
were barely supported. There were eighty Oxen and
Cows from Rotterdam, together with fifteen Sheep, while
the arrivals from Scotland embraced one hundred lots.
The Mutton trade was inactive, yet previous rates were
obtained by the salesmen. The number of Lambs was
rather scanty, yet the sale for them was heavy, at Mon-
day's figures. Prime small Calves were in demand, but
other qualities were a mere drug. In Pigs little was
doing. Milch Cows sold heavily, at from 161. to 191. ss.
each.

The arrivals of New Hops from Kent and Sussex con-

out of condition, while the prices range from 61 lOs to

COZONZA.T.
1i SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been
456 firm this week, and the sales, inclusive of yesterday,
,8
have been about 2,000 hhds and tees. At auction 150
hhds Barbadoes realised 62s for firm yellow, and 59s 6d
8 to 61s for good, and 39 tierces Jamaica mostly found

7 REFlNED.—Standard Lumps have been brisk at 74s 6d
to 75s per cwt.
5 EAST INDlA.—Mauritius is firm, but there have been
no auctions until to-day ; and there will be some quan-
tity offered this afternoon. Bengal has also been steady,
and in some cases rather dearer, except for low and in-
) ferior sorts ; 6,258 bags only partly sold, low soft yellow
at 51s 6d to 53s 6d, and good fine sound white date kind
62s Gd to 655. ; other sorts finding buyers at 68s to 69s
6d for fine sound white and 62s to 63s 6d for good ;
Manilla has been in request at about 19s.
FOREIGN.=-There have been no auctions, but holders
' generally are firm.
CoFFEE.—The general market has been rather firmer
% than of late. Ceylon privately has realised 57s for good
ord, 1,186 bags at auction realised 35s 6d to 94s for low
to Plantation sorts. There were 3,923 bags Costa Rica
sold at, and after the auction, at 52s to 70s 6d, and 75
h bags St. Domingo were taken in at 27s to 29s per cwt.
;% Mocha has not been in much request.
)4 SPlCES.—Pepper has been firm, and 538 bags Batavia

r has advanced again.

COTTON.—The sales hare been small, but the market
,% is steady.
TALLow.—P. Y. C. is 41s to 41s 9d on the spot, and
% 41s 6d per cwt for delivery.
TEA.—There has been some Assam offered this week,
and which has sold at very good prices, the quality
meeting with approval. There have also been 11,200
packages of the China leaf put up at auction, of which
46 about 3,200 sold, Congou and Twankay going rather
lower. The trade were indisposed to purchase, and this
caused prices to be flat.

Suain.-Importers of Colonial Sugar have not been
so desirous to realise this as they were last week, and
4 only a small quantity has been submitted to public
t% competition. There has been more activity in the
West India market, the grocers have purchased
all descriptions largely ; for refining purposes the
demand has been good and former rates are supported, in
some instances Sugar under 59s per cwt was.sold upon
)ti
)14 lower terms, and the business transacted is much larger
% than last week : all low sorts aro plentiful, but there
is still a scarcity of good and fine yellow kinds. To-
day importers of West India Sugar were inclined to
134 realise, but submitting to a reduction on former rates of 6d,
and in some cases of lspercwt, tempted buyers to purchase
i all descriptions largely, and 800 hhds were disposed of, in-
!i eluding a public sale of 105 hhds 18 trcs of Barbadoes,
which generally fetched prices on a par with those of
Tuesday, fine yellow selling at 62s to 635, good 60s to
61s 6d, good middling 58s 6d to 595, and low to mid-
r dling 56s to 57s 6d per cwt. The total purchases for the
week are large. amounting to 2,850 hhds and tree.
REPINED.-Prices have ruled firm for all descriptions
of Refined Goods during the week, and the demand has
been lively, indeed of low and middling qualities there
is not sufficient at market to satisfy the increasing
wants of the home trade ; the increase in the con-
sumption of Refined Sugar this year is most sur
1% prising. Prices are firm, and rule as follows :-
brown lumps 73s to 73s 6d, standard lumps 74s 6d to
755, Tittlere common to good 74s to 78s, tine ditto 79s
Ni to 83s, Hambro' loaves 74s 6d to 84s, double ditto 85s to
90s, ani wet lumps 71s to 73s per cwt. Bastards at 41s to
435, mid at 44s to 475, good 48s to 525, fine 53s to 573 per
cwt. To-day refined goods were in excellent request, and
former rates are fully supported : of bonded Crushed
Sugar there is very little offering, the refiners having sokl
largely for delivery are now demanding 27s 6d to 27a 9d.

MAURITIUS.-This afternoon 7,268 bags 89 casks were
submitted to public competition, nearly the whole found

and low middling 45s to 48s, good 49s to 51s, fine Ms 6d
to 52s 6d, low yellow 53s to 54s 6d, middling 55s to 56s

Ms to 53s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.---This afternoon there were four public
sales of Bengal Sugar containing 4,911 bags 150 casks ;
all inferior sorts went is per cwt lower, but the better
qualities sustained the former worth ; of the total quan-
tity offered a fair proportion sold, namely, Dobah good to
fine strong yellow atl63s 6d to 67s 6d, one lot 71s 6d,
damp and washed 62s 6d to 67s 6d, soft yellow date 53s
6d to 56s 6d, good ditto 57s to 58s, good to fine white
