(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 31.)
SUGAR.-To-day the demand was extremely limited
for West India Sugar, only 150 hhds found purchasers,
making the total sales for the week 900 hhds and trcs,
and the decline in prices Is per cwt, excepting for fine
yellow, in which there is very little alteration.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with
attention, and 1,319 bags at auction were all sold at
steady rates ; white fetched 65s to 665, good 62s 6d,
damp and washed 59s 6d to 63s 6d, good
sound 3 ellow at 56s to 58s, middling 54s 6d
to 555, low 46s to 48s 6d, damp and washed 44s
to 53s 6d, sound brown 42s to 445, damp and washed 41s
to 425. The sales were mostly small and irregular ; 21
cases of Ceylon were withdrawn. Of Madras 2.062 bags
were offered at public sale and all sold, principally for
Refining, damp and washed fetched 40s to 495, and fine
yellow ditto 51s 6d to 52s 6d per cwt, being the full worth.
FOREIGN.-Although there is still little inquiry after
yellow Havannah Sugar, still merchants remain firm, and
will not sell but at full prices ; yellow is held for 20s
to 235, and brown 18s to 19s 6d per cwt. For white
there are not sellers under late quotations. There has
been %ome inquiry for brown Brazil, and former terms
are offered, but the market is scantily supplied ; white
has met with little attention, yet previous rates are in-
sisted upon. The business transacted privately in other
sorts has been trifling, and 278 hhds 185 brls of Porto
Rico at auction were taken in at moderate rates, that is
to say, fine yellow rather soft at 235, good 20s Gd to 21s
6d, mid 203, washed 20s ad to 235, repacked from loose in
ships' hold 16s per cwt.
REFINED.-Any material decline in the value of Re•
fined Sugar is at present prevented by the small supply,
but the home trade have purchased very sparingly. We
quote brown lumps 71s to 71s 6d ; Standard Lumps 72s
to 72s 6d ; Titters, low to middling, 71s to 72s 6d, good
73s to 755, fine and very fine 76s to 80s ; Hamburgh
Loaves 72s 611 to 81s, double ditto 82s to 90s, and wet
lumps 70s per cwt. For low Bastards 37s to 38s ac-
cepted, 398 to 41s for middling, 42s to 45s good, and 46s
to 51s per cwt for fine. For Pieces the demand has been
good, fine selling at 65s to 68s, good 61s to 645, mid-
dling 568 to 130 s, and low 52s to 55s per, cwt. There has
been a brisker demand for Treacle, sales of West India
at 20s to 20s 6d, Patent 21s to 225, and Golden Syrup
23s to 26s per cwt. For Loaves the demand has been
good; Turkey double refined is lid, and 4lbs 37s to 41s.
Hamburgh. 611ss 34s 6d, 9 to 101bs 345, 13 to 141bs 335,
Tittlers 20 to 301bs 32s to 32s 6d, Prussian 40 to 451bs
325. Pieces are fetching 25s to 275, Bastards yellow
20s to 21s, and brown 16s to 19s. To-day the demand
was limited for refined goods, and in some cases the
rates taken were rather lower.
MAURITIUS.--Although the market has been abun-
dantly supplied, still buyers have purchased largely, in
consequence of th© moderate rates. On Tuesday and
Wednesday the public sales of 2.628 bags 109 casks
went at a decline on last week's rates of Is per cwt-fine
yellow at Gls to 633, good 57s to 57s 6d, g. od middling
55s 6d to 56s 6d, middling 52s to 54s 6d, low 50s to
51s 6d, low brown 42s to 42s 6d, middling 43s 6d to
453 6d. Yesterday 10,425 bags 502 casks at auc-
tion went at a further decline of 6:I to is
per cwt for good and fine yellow ; but other sorts
went at full rates, indeed in some cases a small ad-
vance was obtained; very fine yellow fetched 63s to
63s 6d, fine 59s 6d to 625, good 56s to 595, middling
52s 6d to 555, low 50s to 525, low to good grey 48s to
498 6d, low and middling brown 39s to 445, fine 49s 6d
to 50s. The chief part consisted of bright grocery de-
scriptions. The stock exceeds that of last season by
54,546 bags. The decline in prices this year has been
from 4s to 6s.
COFFEE.-This afternoon three parcels of Mocha
Coffee, amounting to 773 bales and 30 cases, were offered
at public sale; the demand was good, and every lot was
actually disposed of at fully former rates ; indeed, in
some cases a email advance was obtained : middling
greenish clean garbled fetched 60s to 625, low
middling 58s to 59s 6d, rather broken 53s to
54s 6d, good middling yellow long berry 71s, middling

bales Pedang were nearly all withdrawn a few lots of
black were sold at 14s 6d to 16s. Of Ceylon, 160 bags were
sold at Is advance, and fetched 52s to 52s 6d for good ord
coloury ; 68 casks of West India went at steady prices,
fine fine ordinary Jamaica 72s to 755, dingy 50s, l3er-
bice low mid 70s, fine ordinary 655, good ord as 6d, but
a part only sold. There was more done privately in
good ord pale Ceylon at 51s to 51s 6d per cwt.
TEA.-The market has presented a brisker appearance
for Black and Green Tea this week; merchants have
manifested firmness, and none has been submitted to
public competition ; the general tendency of prices
is upwards. The deliveries continue to be as
large as ever, and there is no kind of Tea pressing
upon the market. For the lower descriptions of
Congou there has been an extensive demand from the
trade, and the rates paid show an advance on those of
the public sales of last week of id per lb, indeed • the
market has been nearly cleared of these kinds, com-
mon has fetched 1 lid to Is, and good common
is ofa to is Oid, in other sorts several purchases
have been made, and at stiffer rates, rather coarse to
rather strong selling at is °id to Is 2d, blackish leaf to
blackish leaf rather strong is 3d to is 6d, strong Is 7d
to is 10d. blackish leaf Pekoe kind Is II d to 2s 6d rer
lb. In Pouchong there has been a good deal d, ing, and
prices are still going up ; the sorts most in re
quest are those from 7d to 11d, clean cannot
be purchased under the former figure. The stock is
nearly all is second hands. Twoltay is not highet, but
