British Plantation, only about 250 casks having found
buyers, inclusive of 108 casks Barbadoes, which sold
by auction ai 56s to 65s fur mid to fine greyish yellow,

SUGAR.—To- day there was I ttle activity in the West
India market, but importers manifested firmness, and
obtained previous rates; but the demand from the re-
finers and grocers was limited, even for the better qtrilities;
in all, only 2€o hhds and tierces were disposed of, including a
public sale of 100 hhds 6 trcs of Barbadoes Sugar, which
went off quietly upon former terms, fine yellow fetched

FoREIGN.-The market has presented a brisker ap-
pearance tbf sill aberiiitions of Foreign Sugar since thiS
day week. In Brazil the transactions are upon a large
scale ; Bahia sold at 17s 9d, 150 chests of white at 21s

COFFEE-There has been less demand for the lower
descriptions of West India, and the market having been
better supplied, previous rates have been with diffi-
culty supported. This afternoon Ceylon of good
ordinary quality met with little attention by pri-
vate contract, and 500 bags at public sale
were all taken in at 535, the highest price bid being
50s per cwt. Of West India two parcels amounting to
227 casks and barrels were offered at auction: for Ja-
maica the demand was good, and the whole sold at full
rates, viz -mid at 82s 6d to 85s, low mid 74s to 75s 6d,
fine ord 53s 6d to 60$, good ordinary 46s 6d, ordinary
unclean 37s 6d, Triage 34s to 39s 6d, and infer:or 31s
6d, but of other sorts a small part only found buyers at
52s for fine ord Trinidad, and 46s to 49s per cwt for good
ordinary.
TEA.-The market has still an improving appearance
for nearly every description; merchants show firmness,
and still refrain from offering any at public sale. To-
day several purchases were made in Tea; Congou, com-
mon at 104 d to lid; Twankay is 3d to is aid; Hyson,
ordinary 2s 6d to 2s 8d; of Young Hyson a large parcel
of low quality was sold at is 10d, being rather higher.
Of Common Congou the supply at market is scanty.
MOLASSES.-In West India a good business has been
transacted at the former currency; the purchases amount
to 300 puns-Antigua at 245, St. Kitt's 21s 6d, and St.
Vincent's 21s to 21s 6d per cwt.
SPICES.-This afternoon Pimento was sought after,

low quality, being the full worth. Cloves were taken
sparingly, and 382 bags from Zanzibar at public sale
were all taken in at 9d for sound mid quality, a few lots
of sea damaged were sold at Sid to 9d. 21 bags of fine
pod Pepper fetched 81 I is 6d to 1115 s, and 3 casks of
Cayenne 2s 2d to 2s 3d per lb.
RICE.-There has been an increased demand for
Bengal, and the rates paid are rather above those pre-
viously quoted. This afternoon several inquiries ex-
isted for Bengal Rice, and for mid white buyers were
compelled to pay lls 6d per cwt by private contract.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Leewards have been
in much better request, and several parcels have been
disposed of at firm rates, proof fetching 2s 4ad
to 2s 5d per gallon ; Calcutta, 2s 3d for proof
with certificate ; Demerara, 3s 2d to 3s 7d for strong
