COMONZAZ.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation isvery heavy,
scarcely any business having been done ; but for the few
small.. parcels disposed of lower prices have been accepted,
establishing a decline of 6d to Is upon grocery descriptions.
The public sales have only offered 3,070 bags Mauritius,
and 832 bags Penang (subject to 18s Sd duty), yearly
all of which sold, but went off without spirit, and
at rather lower prices ; they were, however, chiefly in small
lots, and of inferior quality, affording little guide to the
market generally. Low to good brown Mauritius brought
381 to 453 ; low to fine yellow 45s 6d to 52s ;
low to good brown Penang 403 to 425, and
low to fine yellow ,463 to 53s per cwt. The quantity of
British Plantation landed last week at the East and West
India Docks was 2,176 hhds 174 tierces 572 barrels; there
were taken for home consumption 1,694 hhds 177 tierces
572 barrels. The stock in the same places is 12,540 hhds
1,230 tierces 2,381 barrels.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week, at the East and
West India Docks, was 123 puns 1 hhd. There were taken
for home consumption 145 puns 18 hhds, and exported 248
puns 135 hhds. The stock in the sane places is 9,912 puns
1,097 hhds.
COFFEE —This article is quiet. There are very few sales
announced.

•
COTTON is steady.
TOBACCO.—There has been an improved demand lately
for most descriptions, and, for the period of the year, sales
have been made to some extent, and may be computed at
1,500 hhds last month, independent of two cargoes of ordinary
Kentuck), about 1,400 hhds taken for re sale. The market
has been firm, with a: slight tendency to advance; and for
some sorts, namely, fine Kentucky strips and spinning quali-
ties of Virginia, our highest quotations have been obtained.
TEA.—There is not much doing, and prices are about the
sante.

Tattow.—PY C is 403 9d to 41s per cwt on the spot for
old, and 41s 3d to 41s 6d for new. Town is 445.

SUGAR.—To-day, owing to importers of West India Sugar
being willing sellers at previous rates, buyers were induced to
come forward with more freedom. A good business was
transacted in groceryiand refining kinds, and some purchases
were made for the outports, but there was an increased quan.
lity of all sorts offering for sale in the private market.
REnNED.—To-day Refined Sugar was purchased With
caution by the home trade, and a further decline in prices -oc-
curred, brown lumps selling at 64s 6d to 655, and standard
lumps 6qs to 67s per cwt ; stocks are still accumulating. For
bonded Crushed Sugar there was little itiquiry, but the price at
present is sustained on account of the very shore supply.
MAURlTlUS.—lmporters have been more disposed to realise,
and the rates accepted.exhibited a decline on those previously
quoted of ed to Is per fiwt. The demand, however, has been
good, and at public sale 3,071 baize were all disposed of, good
yellow at 51‘ 6d to 525, good middling 50s 6d to 515,. mi•tdling
48s to 50s, low 46s to 47., fine brown 44s 6d to 465, good 43s
to 445, middling 411 t0"42., law Mato 40. ; middling grey 46s
to 47s 6d. good 48s to 495, washed 37s 6d to 50. 641, and syrupy
36s to 47s per cwt.
Barre Istista.—This aft, rnoon the market was well 'supplied
with all des.niptions of "Bengal Sugar; about 6.000 bags
were sold at prices that avenge those of the last auetien,
fine white fetching 60s, good 545 6d, good middling 56, 6d

MOLASSES.—Prices keep firm for West India, and tfre de-
mend has been good ; 300 puns. of Antigua have been sold at
22s to 22. 6cl per cwt. The stock is much less :hut tt was last
year at this time.
Folmar; —The arrivals of all cleseript,ons of Foreign
Sugar have been again small, whereas the de' iveries are large,
and stocks are much less !ban they were last season. N. ne
of any kind has again been submitted to public sale, not-
withstanding the high rates that prevail, and which are mueh
above those of former years. Yellow Havannah has been
much inquired after. Of Brazil the supply is insufficient for
the vi ants of exporters and our refiners working under bond.
A floating cargo of 300 chests of Bahia has been disposed of
for a near port. Porto Rico is much wanted, and washed
fetched 24s 6d per cwt, but there are few parcels en offer ; all
other kinds of Foreign Sugar are wanted at late improved
rates, but tew parcels are to be had.
Comm.—To-day holders of Coffee evinced firmness, and
refrained from offering any at public sale. Ceylon met with
attention, and privately several parcels of good and real good
ord pale sold at 47. 6d to 4fis 6d per cwt. A fair amount of
business was done in Plantation upon former term!.
Foreign was much sought after, and the rates paid
were rather above those previously quoted. Of St. Do-
mingo 1,500 bags were sold, ordinary at 325, good ordinary 345;
some parcels of Rio fetched 32s to 36s for common to good
ordinary, and Padang 213 s per cwt ; a larger quantity would
have found buyers had it been offered for sale.
Rica,—To-day Bengal Rice was sought after, and stiffer
rates paid, low to fine white selling at 16s to 19s per cwt ;
these rates are within 6d per cwt of those when the market
was at its highest point.
SPIRITS.—The improved rates previously established for
Leeward Island Rum are supported, and a good demand has
been experienced. To-day the demand was active, and prices
advanced id to Id per gallon. 250 puns were sold at Is 104
to Is lOid per gallon proof strength. In Jamaica there was
little doing.
INDIGO.—This afternoon at publicsale 154 chests of Manilla
Indigo were offered, and all sold, but at comii.ratively low
rates ; middling to good fetched 2s 5d to 3s sd, low Is 5d to
2s 3d, very low Is to Is 44 ; and 3 serons of Caraccas, good 3s
Sd, middling 3s 44, and 10w,.2s 64.
COCHINEAL.—To-day a stronger desire was manifested to
purchase all descriptions of Cochineal, and at auction 103 bags
Honduras were all sold. A large parcel has arrived, still the
stock is considerably less than last year at this period.
TEA.—.There was little desire shown to purchase at the
public sales held on Wednesday last, and of the 13,000 pkgs
brought forward only 3,550 sold, chiefly Green, at prices ex-
hibiting a decline on the rates of the former auctions of Id for
Hyson and Young Hyson, 2d to 3d for Imperial, and Id to 24
per lb for Gunpowder, but other sorts sustained the farmer
worth; since the sales there has generally been more activity
in the market, and for Black prices have improved, but tor
Green they are kept down by the heavy stark. In Coneou there
has been a good deal doing, chi. fly in common atid nwhiling sorts.
Prices cannot again be quoted higher for Pouchong, but they
are very firm at 64 to 10d for clean, and at which a good de-
mand has been experienced. In Twankay several purchases
have been made, but no general advance in price.% can be
quoted. In Hyson the operations are upan a more extenced
scale in conseqeence of merchants b• ing willing settee= a' the
decline in prices that occurred at the public sales. Ir. Imperial
a good deal has been (forte at the decline that oceurred at the
sales on Wednesday. The demand for Gunpowder has been
good, but prices exhibit a slight tall compared with tit- of
this day week. There are not marry trti to's art Sitentrd t )ra...ga
Pekoe. Young Hyson is wanted Scent d Cal er has been
sought after.
Spices —Pimento has been purchased with PAgi rness, and a
further advance in prices of ad p• r •I, t n . Th.•
arket has assumed a (ppm f,,r H! v 4 Pi- it, ; hot
no decline in prices can be quoted. White bits snowed a
sale privately, and prices are Inekimz up. C....4a Lune*
is much in demand, and prices rule high. Ginger has been
purchased with caution, and former noes are not obtainab e.
Nutmegs are wanted, and brown fetch 3s 4d to 4s 6d per lb by
private treaty. Mace is in demand at '2- to 3s. In Cloves
several put chases made. and Reines are lot king up.
OILS.—The market h.s a firm app.-a-area- for Seal Oil, a
good demand was experienced, and the rates paid tally equal
to those previously quoted. C.,cl is little wanted, and
stay be purchased on lower terms. The moderate
rates that prevail for Southern has occasioned a fair demand.
With Sperm the market is less freely supplied; ;Aces are firm,
and the demand good. The moderate rates that prevail for
Linseed Oil occasion the demand to be good. Rape
Oil has secured a brisk sale. In Palm there has been less
doing, and previous quotations are barely sustained. Cocoa
has been in good request, and bully supported previous rates.
In Olive Oil many purchases have been made; prices are firm,
and the stock is less than it was a short time back. American
Oil is worth 42/to 441. and Ground Nut Oil 301 to 32/per tun.
TALLOW. —The market has still a firm appearance for all
descriptions of Tallow ; the consumption is on the increase,
exceeding that of last season, and the stock is less than has been
the case for some years, yet prices are still lower than in former
lessons.

GENERAL POST-OFFICE.--The foundation of the
new Money-order Office has been commenced, and the build-
ing is to be completed within six months. It is situate in
Aldersgate, between the French Protestant Chu►ch and that

the north wing of the General Post-office, in order to enlarge
the inland and letter-carriers' office.

LOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTSIENT.—Captain James Eyre, of
the Company's service, residing at Boulogne, had been tapped
thrice within seven months, twelve quarts of water were taken
from him each time; notwithstanding which operations he was
about falling a victim to this terrible complaint, when he com-
menced the rubbing in of Holloway's invaluable Ointment,
and as effectually as salt is forced into meat—besides this, he
took large doses of his wonderful Pills, which in nine weeks
effected so extraordinary a care, as to enable him since to walk
twenty-five miles in one day. Any unnatural swellings of qie
body are effectually cured by these celebrated medicines. Sold
