(From the London New Price Current of pee. 24.)

SCCAR. —The stock of British Plantation is now
15.636 hhds and trcs, which is 359 more than lust year
at this time. The stock of Mauritius is 93,444 hags,
which is 9,371 more than last year; the stock of Bengal
is now 115,145 bags, which is 59,621 more than last
year. The stock of other East India 125,909 bags, which
is 56,328 more than last year. The delivery of British
Plantation was 1,281 hhds and tierces, which is 52 more
than last year at this time ; the delivery of Mauritius
was 1,399, which is 873 leis than last year ; the deliv. ry
of Bengal was 8,107 bags, which is 2,517 more than
last year at this time ; the deliveries of other East India
was 3,217 bags, which is 954 more than at the eorres-
ponding period of last year
REFINED.—The home trade have purchased Refined
Goods with increased freedom, and there being only a
moderate supply, they are compelled to pay advanced
rates, Brown Lumps fetching 71s 6d to 725, Standard
Lumps 73s to 73s 6d, Tittlers, low to middling 71s 6d to
735, good 74s to 755, fine and very fine 76s to
R3s—llatubro' Loaves 73s to 81s, double ditto
82s to 925, and wet lumps 70s to 716 per cwt.
Of the low and middling descriptions the
sugar houses have been nearly cleared. The con-
sumption is much greater than it was last year ; the dif-
ference between yellow West India Sugar and Standard
Lumps is only 5s to 5s 6d per cwt, Pieces have been in
excellent request, and prices are sustained—sales of fine
made at 67s to 695, good 63s to 665, and inferior 56s to
626 per cwt. For Bastards lower rates have been
accepted.
MAURITIUB.—The business transacted by private eon-
tract has been upon a more extended scale At previous
rates ; at auction 1,143 bags were disposed of at and
after the sale, good yellow at 59s to 61s 6d, mid and
good mid 55s to 58s, and low 52s to 53s Cvd, The stock
here is nearly all in the dealers' hands ; the difference
in prices of middling kinds of yellow and grey compared
with those of Bengal is not so largo as it was, and which
may be ascribed to the falling off of the supply of the
latter.
EAST INDlA.—There has been a much better demand
for all descriptions of Bengal Sugar, and by private
contract the large quantity of 16,000 bags found pur-
chasers since this day week at full but not at higher
rates brown has fetched 41s to 495, low yellow
506 to 535, middling 54s to 575, good middling
and good 58s to 635, fine and very fine 64s to
70s; white, low 58s to 60, middling 61s to 635, good 64s
to 665, and fine 66s 6d to 69s per cwt; the principal
part consisted of I)obah. None has been offered at
auntion, Foreign East India Sugar is still held with
firmness. In Manilla there has been little passing by
private treaty.
FoueioN.—Holders of all descriptions remain firm,
and still refrain from offering any at public sale. The
brown descrtptions of Brazil have mat with ett.:ntion
and full rates are obtained. There not sellers o
yellow Havannah, exceptinir at 41,"'ily former ouote.t cos,
but there are few' •
orders just now ; fo see-
rage esee-,-
21s to 21s 6d per cwt 8 featdt-d
in white the transactions have been trifling, on 1 t:
value there is little variation to notice, low to middling
is 25s 6d to 275, good 28s to 295, and fine 30s to 32, per
cwt. Other kinds of Foreign Sugar are unaltered in
value.
MoLASSES. The low rates that prevail for West
India hare at length attracted attention, and an exten-
sive business has been transacted upon preriQue terms ;

the purchases amount to 800 puns at 20e to 23s 6d for
ordinary and middling St. Vincents, Montserrats, Nevis'
Deinerura, Antigua, Dominica, and St. Kitts.
RlM—There are many purchasers of Bengal, and full
rates have been offered, but the market is still sparingli
supplied : none has been offered at auction, but by private
contract 5,000 bags have been sold, low at I is to 11s
middling 114 6d to lls 9,1, and superior 193 t 0
12s 6d per cwt, the chief part consisted of the
lots er sorts, and the demand principally to she'
ply West India orders. Madras is wanted, and the
rates paid are rather above those previously quoted.
There are several purchasers of yellow and common
white Java at 9s to lOs per cwt ; but the better sorts
more off slowly at 10s 6d to 12s per cwt. Cleaned Bic°
at 23s to 276 for Carolina, and at 148 to 18s per cwt for
Patna. .
COFFEE.—Holders of West India are for the most pet
not disposed to submit to any further decline in prices'
and have refrained from offering any at auction. In"
porters of East India have manifested more firma"
The demand has increased for Ceylon, and en
advance in prices of is per cwt has occurred ft.°
ordinary to fine ordinary. In Plantation kinds 1"'
transactions are upon a more extended scale by priv ete
contract at former terms. Mocha is held for late rates'
but buyers are cautious in their proceedings : low Yelt°ll
is Gla to 665, mid 67s to 70s, good mid 71s to 755, go°2
76s to 80s, and supt rior 82s to 86s per cwt. 4';
previous rates purchases to a fair extent her,'"
been made privately in Singapore Java st tst
to 375, and superior at 58s to 42s per cwt,
in Company's there has been scarcely 1131
business transacted, and the nearest valise is 49s to 51°
per cwt, being the same prices that have prevailed for
some weeks: the consumption is interfered with by other
sorts of Coffee which are selling at comparatively in"
rates. Holders of Foreign Coffee are reluctant to gieel
in prices, and still supply the market sparingly witn,„„.
sorts. To-day the market was firm for Ceylon Cer7,,'
and a fair business was transacted privately, good a'.
nary at 52s to 53s per cwt.
SPICES. —Holders of Ginger show firmness, and suPPII;
the market sparingly with all sorts. The parcels of
and West India sold privately were at full rates—at s*Ac.
tion 200 bags of Malabar fetched 19s per ewt for frit
fair bold rather wormy; The good and fine ,bn'„
kinds of East India and Jamaica are wanted. In .530,1 c;
little business has been transacted, and prises 1.;-,
very low in comparison with those of last season. CIO:
are not offered upon lower terms, but there are fewd
orders. Prices are firm for Nutmegs, and a good desitt
has existed at 3s to 3s lld for brown, and 4s to 45 vio
per lb for fine. The importation this year has been 51
packages, and in 1843 it was 488 packages.
