state, the purchases made in all qualities being upon a small scale,
although the merchants were sellers at a decline on the rates of
Friday of 6d per cwt.

from the home trade, and prices were not so firm, brown grocery
lumps selling at 65s 6d to 665, and standard lumps 67s per cwt.
Bonded Crushed Sugar is still neglected, and prices are nominal
at 42. to 42s 6d per cwt for first quantity.

this description of Sugar, and the few parcels disposed of privately
were at lower rates.

EALT INDIA.—For white Bengal a good demand has been ex-
perienced, and the rates obtained have been equal to those pre-
viously quoted, yellow sorts at and under 54s per cwt have sup-
ported the former currency, and are wanted, but for grainy de-
scriptions the demand has fallen off, and a decline in prices of is
per cwt has occurred.

FORElGN.—Although there arc sellers of yellow Havannah Sugar
at a further reduction in prices, still the business transacted has
been limited, and eonfined to two floating cargoes for a near port,

offering any at public sale. Congou of all descriptions has been in

MORE PREPARATION.—Orders from the Horse
Guards having been received by the Lieutenant-Governor to dispatch
a field officer from the garrison to inspect the staff of the militia in
this district, Lieut.-Colonel Lord William Paulet, of the 68th Regi-
ment (Light Infantry), has been selected for that duty. We trust
this is the beginning only of putting the militia in a state fit to be
called out In the event of an emergency.—Hampshire Telegraph.
