FOREIGN.—For Brazil prices remain firm, and a better de-
mand has existed. This afternoon several inquiries existed
for Foreign Sugar, and 240 cases brown Bahia were sold pri •
vately for refining in bond at 18s 6d for sound, and in propor-
tion for the damaged, and a floating cargo of sound yellow
Havannah at 19s 6d. There was no public sale._

purchases do not exceed 150 casks, but holders generally
have refused to take lower rates. Prices- are considerably
lower than they were last season at this period. For Bengal

better supplied with Ceylon Coffee: the quantity
offered at public sale amounted to 1,723 bags ;
