(From the London New Price Cu;rent of Oct. 31.)
SUGAR.—To-day the improved rates previously established
were hilly supported for all sorts of British Plantation Sugar,
and a fair business was transacted, 400 hhds, &c., finding
buyers, making the total sales for the week 2,260 hhds and
tierces. Some of the brokers have scarcely any Sugar on show.
REFINED. —To-day Refined goods were purchased freely by
the home trade, and higher rates were paid, brown grocery
lumps selling at 64s to 655, and standard lumps 65s 6d to 66a
per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale, and offered
at 36s per cwt for the best.
MAURITIUS.—An increased desire has been manifested to
purchase, and for all descriptions there has been a very good
demand for the scale and pan; the rates given are
fully equal to those previously quoted, and merchants
refrain from largely supplying the market, although
the stock still exhibits an increase over that of last year.
At public sale 5,343 bags were all disposed of, fine yellow at
53s Gd, good 52s Gd, good middling 51s 6d, middling

syruppy 38s Gd to 47s Gd per cwt. By private contract some
parcels were disposed of at similar rates; a larger quantity
would have found purchasers had it been offered for sale.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in brisk
demand, and the parcels offered at public sale were all sold,
viz., 3,161 bags at full rates; very fine white brought 60s to
61s, fine 57s 6d to 58s ; good 558 6d, middling 54s 6d.to 555,

and stiffer rates have been paid for all descriptions. The
total purchases amount to 600 puns, Antigua fine 24s to 255,
Demerara low old 20s, Dominica 225, and St. Vincents 21s.
At auction 71 brls and 80 tuns of Mauritius were sold at 17s
to 18s per cwt. The stock of Molasses in first hands is much
reduced. Bengal syrup is much wanted. For Honey prices
are on the rise.

Fuurr.—Of new Chesme Raisins, the first cargo arrived,
there is no disposition to purchase, the prices required being
considered too high in proportion to the value of new
Valencias, the best parcels being sold at 40s, and a great
proportion already arrived being much out of condition,
have been forced off at public sale from 386 to 395.
Of new Patras Currants two cargoes have arrived,
and are in the market at 50s, but the grocers purchase very
cautiously, expecting large arrivals. The low prices at
which the new Turkey Pulled Figs have been forced off, in
consequence of the great proportion of the recent arrivals
being of a very inferior quality, has caused a very extensive
demand. For new Sultanas there is very little demand at the
present high prices, nearly the whole of the stock on hand
being in one importer's hand; further arrivals are daily ex-
pected. In old Fruit little doing.
FOnEIGN. —This afternoon there wasMno public sale of
Foreign, and the private sales for the week are 40 chests of
very fine yellow Havannah at 31s, and 70 chests of middling
white Bahia at 27s per cwt.

mixed with blacks, being above the value. Of Costa Rica
the large quantity of 5,048 bags were offered at public sale;
the sound was nearly all taken in at stiff rates; and Oil

much doing.
Tue.—There has been more activity in the market this
week. Holders have shown firmness, and refrained from
offering any at public sale. Prices are firmer for black,
but any improvement in the value of green is
prevented by the heavy stock. The deliveries of
Tea keep very satisfactory, and for this year up to last Sa-
turday amounted to 20,569,455 for home consumption at this
port, 4,494,162 at Liverpool, 707,330 at Bristol, and 349,046
at Hull. making the total quantity 26,119,992 lbs, against
25,342,829 lbs to the same period in 1844.

vanced rates being asked checked business, and 1,400 bags at
public sale were nearly all taken in.
Snarrs.—There has Leen less demand for Jamaica Rum
this week, but holders are firm, and have obtained fully pre-
vious rates for every description,and the quantity on show has
become small. Leeward Island is, however, much in de-
mand, and owing to the short supply fetched stiff rates.
In Demerara a fair amount of business has been transacted
at 2s 10d to 3s 3d for strong qualities. Calcutta is wanted at
Is lld to 2s proof with certificate, but the market is still
scantily supplied. The market has a firm appearance for
Brandy, and a fair demand exists. The accounts come to hand
from France state that the quantity made this year would
be much under that of former seasons, and the quality very
indifferent. Geneva has been sold to a fair extent for ex-
portation at 2s 2d to 2s 3d, fine for home consumption being
2s 7d to 23 10d. The market is very firm for British Corn

casks at auction were sold at 5s 6d for common limed, at the

high rate of duty.
CINNAMON.—The good and fine descriptions of Ceylon
were in excellent demand at the quarterly sales, and the
quantity brought forward being small merchants were en-
abled generally to obtain an advance on the rates of the last
auctions of ld to 3d per lb, inferior kinds, of which the supply
was abundant, were, however, purchased with much caution,
although there were sellers at reduced rates.
INDIGO.—The purchases made in East Indiahave been ex-
tremely limited since the termination of the last quarterly
calks ; good and fine sorts of Bengal are held for the rates
of that period, but the lower kinds may be had upon easier

DEATH OF LORD MONTAGII.—With feelings Of
deep regret we announce, that the fears lately expressed as to the
result of tkis nobleman's illness have been at length realised, his
Lordshiphaving expired at his residence, Hamilton-Place,on Thursday
evening, at a quarter before ten o'clock. Since Sunday last all hopes of
the Noble Lord's recovery appeared to have been dispelled. His
Grace the Duke of Buccleucb, the Noble Lord's nephew; the Earl
of Herne, his soi-in-law ; Lady Montage, and several other relatives,
were in attendance since the time alarming symptoms had mani-
fested themselves. The deceased, Henry James Montagu Scott,
was the second son of the third Duke of Buccleuch, by
the only surviving child of the first Duke of Montagu.
He was born in 1776, and married, in 1804, the eldest daughter of
the first Lord DouglaS. (She was born in 1779.) He succeeded his
grandfather in 1790. The first Baron, the Dulte_AUVontagu, on the
death of his only son, Baron Montagu, .olfailat3d7r ?-val of the
barony of Montagu for himself, with rezfrain er Warditukhters and
sons. The late Lord was a supporter of the:presedtto4ninkeration.
He had the patronage of seven livings, and hia, estateet Nytich are
considerable, lay in Berkshire, Hampshite, and Selliirkshire, of which
latter county he was the Lord-Lieutenant. The title becomes ex-
