when this became generally known there were extensive buyers of
the ordinary deScription at that price. The public sales this week
west off with brisknes4, nearly the whole quantity brought forward

The prices are about 18s. a 15s. per' cwt. lower than last year
The Market since Tuesday has been firm in the prices,, but the
buyers have not purchased on an extensive scale ; the holders ate,
however, so exceedingly sanguine respecting the future currency,
that the purchases made are stated at prices a shade higher. The
extensive business done in Musenvadoes this week appears to have
cleared the Market; there are few Sugars on sale to-day; there
is not, however; so much demand, the prices are not only fully
supported, but in some instances we think the prices obtained are
a shade higher. The request for refined goods this morning was
not so brisk, but the prices are fully supported on account of the
scarcity of goods. Molasses are 27*. to 275. 6d. .1n the refined
market there has been great briskness during the week, and the
supply at market is quite inadequate to the demand; no lumps
offered yesterday under 775. and no large parcels could even be
purchased at that rate ; Crushed for export was not in so great
demand. Bastards advanced 20. per cwt. The wholesale grocers
purchased extensive parcels of fine goods, Imitable for the home
consumption of the country, early in the week, but as the holders
yesterday demanded au advance of 90. a Bs. it prevented business
being done on an extensive wale. Molasses are 27*. a 275. 6d.-
Foreign *gars are held fur higher prices. By public sale this
forenoon, 2'70 chaste white Havannah Sugar taken in ; good and
fine 89e. a Rs ; the latter is held, we believe, for 435. ; 23'7
chests Bengal dingy white sound 335., damp 81s.
Rust, Bteiwuv and Hottatins-The prices of Rum advance
with rapidity, under proofs sold on Tuesday at-2a. ld, since which
one over has realized ts. 2id, with a brisk market and few sellers.
The strong fine Jamaicas 3s. 2d ; the lower strength* are held
with firmness, but as they, are not so much in request they sell
lower in proportion. Brandies are Id. per gallon higher, parti-
eularly the old landings, upon a report that the late successful ap-
plicant to Government has petitioned, that Brandies bonded in
1824. and 1925, may he released from bond, on the payment of
duty on the actual quantity, and not at the landing guage ; the
advance is of course on the Brandies landed in 1824 and 1825,
the others are rather lower. Geneva is without variation. Scotch
Malt Spirit to-day is 10s. 64. a 10s. 84. caih. The Irish dis-
tillers will not sell.
Hrstr, FLAX, and TALLOW.-Thu demand for Tallow conti-
nues general, and there is a regular advance in the prices, which
have improved in consequence of the quantity delivered last week
for,borne consumption, having exceeded the delivery of the corre-
speieiding week of last year, which occasioned a general idea that
the late hot weather will materially decrease the home supply.-
Yesterday, parcels here mold readily ar 35e. .6d., and for parcels

the market wasnot so firm at the prices, and purchases could be
made more easily.-In Flax and Hemp there was no material al-
teration ; the exchange with St. Petersburgh, by last night's
