(From the London Neu; _Price Current of May 13.)
SUGAR.—The supply consisted principally of inferior
yellow and brown descriptions, of fine bright yellow
there are yet few boards on show. The trade in town
and country do not hold inrge stocks, notwithstanding
the recent extensive nerehases made by them.
REFINED.—There has been a better demand for Refined
goods from the home track, but no improvement has
taken place in prices, the market being fairly supplied
with goods; brown lumps have been selling at 66s to 67 s,
Standard lumps 67s 6d to 68s; Tittlers, common 66s to
675, middling 67s fid to CBs, good 69s to 70s, fine and
very fine 71s to 755; Hambro' Loaves 67s to 725, double
ditto 73s to 80., and wet lumps, 64s to 663 per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—There has Leen little inclination evinced
on the part of refiners or grocers to operate, and the
basiness transacted privately has been trifling at de-
clining rates. At a public sale of 7,304 bags and
388 cat-lts, prices gave way is 6(1 to 2s on Refin-
ing, and 6d to is per cwt fur all other sorts,
but nearly the whole was tainted by sulphur; good to
fine yellow went at 473 6d to 51s 6d, middling to good
middling 42s to 4636 d, low 40s to 41s, fine brown 3736 d
to 40s, middling to good 35s to 375. low 30s to 345, grey
low 39s to 40s, middling 41s to 425, good to fine 44s to
48s 6d, damp and washed 33s to 48s 6d, damp and washed

33s to 48s per cwt.
EAST INDlA.—There has been a better demand for
white descriptions of Bengal Sugar, and the former rates
are sustained; several parcels have been taken by private
treaty, and at auction 530 bags were sold, fine white at
57s 6d, good .54s to 54s 6d, middling 51s, damp and
washed 48s to 53s 6d per cwt. By private contract there
has been a good demand for brown and common yellow
sorts from shippers, and the home trade at 32s to 38s per
cwt; several public sales are advertised, and the arrivals

continue to be large.
FOREIGN.—To-day the inquiries were numerous after
all kinds of Foreign Sug.ir, but in consequi•oce of th.
stiff rates that were insisted upon, business of moment
was prevented ; a floating cargo of 300 tons of brown
Pernambuco in chests and bags has been sold at 21s 6d

per cwt.
MOLASSES.-All extensive business has been trans-
acted in all sorts of West India, but holders have been
willing sellers upon forint r reduced terms; the private
operations amount to 1,200 puns ; Antigua at 17s, old
15s, Demerara 18s, Trinidad 17s, and good Dominica
20s; the principal part fetched 15s to 17s per cwt.
Bengal Treacle is held for 16s per cwt; there are buyers
rather under that rate.
COFFEE.-Importers of West India manifested firm-
ness, and having supplied the market sparingly, the
parcels offered at auction amounting to 54 casks and 10
barrels were all sold, Berbtce middling at 60 to 60s 6d,
low middling 57a to 58s, fine fine ordinary
52s to 565, fine ordinary 50s 6d to 51s 6d, good or-
dinary mixed 43s to 46s 63, low 35s 6d to 40s, Triage 26s
to 40a, black 14s to 12.=, Jamaica, fine middling 120 s,
good middling 82s 6d to 965, middling 78s 6d to 80s, low
middling 70s, fine fine ordinary 63e 6d to 68s, fine ordi-
nary 545, ordinary 44s 6d to 495, low ordinary 395,
Triage 33s to 38s, and black 32s per cwt. The supply
is on the increase of all descriptions of East India
Coffee, and stocks are much larger than they were
last season at this period. In Ceylon of native
descriptions there was a good business transacted
in the middle part of lust week, and a further advance
in prices took place, 1238 bags at public sale fetching
46s to 46s 6d for real good ordinary heavy pale, 45s to
45s 6d for good ordinary, 44s Eel for common mixed,
39s 6d to 41s 6d for very inferior, and 38s. to 45s for sea
damaged. In Company's Java the private operations
are upon a more extended scale at 50s fur good bold pale
yellow. Singapore firm in price, and in good demand
privately. Other kinds of East India have met with
little attention from shippers or the home trade, and the
market having been better supplied a decline in the
value has been the consequence.
COCOA.-West India is not much wanted, and prices
have slightly given way, a part only of 138 bags and 86
brls Trinidad at auction finding buyers, good middliug
red at 42s 6tl to 435, middling 41s to 425, low 38s 63,
and one lot of good quality 485 6d per cwt, the stock
has been further augmented, still it is less than last
season. Foreign Cocoa has been in good request, and the
supply continuing to be small an advance in prices has
taken place ; 139 bags Bahia at auction fetched 385 to
38s 6d for good bright red, and 34s per cwt for common
dark.
TEA.-There has been less desire on the part of the
trade to purchase since we last wrote, by private contract
only a limited business has been transacted in black and
green, but holders for the most part are disposed to fur-
ther reduce their prices. To-day the purchases made
in tea were trifling, but sound common Congou for cash
was not to he had undtr 94 per lb. Public sales are
declared for 'Thursday ; the quantity declared at present
is 4,000 plsgs, but it will be increased.
SPICES.-holders of Black Pepper have refuted to
submit to lower rates, and the market has been sparingly
supplied. The value of Penang is 2ii to 2d, and Su-
matra 24-d to 2id per lb. Pimento has been purchased
with caution, but holders have declined to submit to
any further decline, and 24d to 3i per pound is the
value. Ginger of all sorts has met with attention. In
Cassia Lignea business of consequence was prevented
by the small supply at market. In nutmegs several pur-
chases have been made privately at firm rates,
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-In Leeward Island
Hum a large business has been transacted since we last
wrote, in consequence of importers submitting to a
further reduction in prices; the purchases amount to 400
puns at is 7d to Is 7id per gallon proof strength. Deme-
rara has been in good demand upon former terms; 150
puns having been sold at 2s 8d to 2s 9d for 34 to 37 per
cent. over proof of good quality. Holders of Calcutta
have declined to further reduce their prices, and the
operations are upon a more extended scale : 200 casks
having been at sold Is 4}d to 2s per gallon proof with cer-
tificate. Jamaica however has been purchased sparingly
by exporters and the home trade ; the rates taken are
rather under those previously quoted : only small parcels
have been sold at 3s to 4s 4.1 for 30 to 36 per cent over
pooof, and superior 4s ed to 4s 8d per gal. The arrivals of
Rum are still exceeding the deliveries. For Brandy,
since our last, prices have made a stand, and a good
demand has been experienced ; the heavy stocks, how-
ever, cause holders to be willing to sell at late rates-
viz, Cognac, of the best brands of the vintage of 1838,
hhds 4s sd, puns 4s 3d ; ditto 1839, hhds 4s 2d, puns
4s ; ditto 1840, hhds 4s id, puns 3s 11d ; ditto 1841,
hhds 4s Id, puns 3s Ild ; ditto 1842, hhds 3s 10d, puns
. 3s 8d ; ditto 1843, hhds 3s 93, puns 3s 7d ; ditto 1844,
hhds 3s Bd, puns 3s 6d ; middling and good middling of
the various vintages 2s 8d to 3s 6d, low 2s 5d to 2s 7d,
aA, and Bordeaux 2s 5d to 2s 6d per gallon.
RICE.-Bengal met with ready purchasers, and the
sal ply not being large, prices are sustained ; 1,975 bags
''<4 at auction went at lls to lls 6d for middling white
dusty rather small grain, 103 6d to lls for sea damaged
13‘ first class, lOs to lOs ed for second class, Os 6d
i,e for third class, and lOs per cwt for sea da-
waged re-packed ; by private treaty several parcels
I% have been disposed of at lOs 6d to 12s per cwt for sound
white. A public sale of 3,500 bags is declared-the
;6 stock has been much increased. There has not been
much inclination to purchase foreign East India Rice,
Is, but the stock being light prices are still maintained ;
Madras yellow is worth 9s to 10s ; Java white lOs 6d to
12s, and yellow lOs to 10a 6d per cwt. Cleaned Rice is
selling at 23a to 28s for Carolina, and at 14s to 18s for
41%79 Patna.
CocrintEAL.-'This afternoon at public sale 30 bags
of Mexican black were sold at the full value, and went
at 5s 8d to 55 9d, and middling to good 5s 4d to 5s 7d
per lb.
INDIGO. -East India is not to be purchased at any
decline on the rates of the last Quarterly sales, but the
market is in a quiet state. Spanish has been purchased
with caution, and holders experience difficulty in sup
porting prices.
SALTPETRE.-Rough has been in much better de-
mand; privately several parcels have been disposed of,
13 per cent refraction has fetched 245, 5 per cent 25s 6d
to 265; at public sale 833 bags of Calcutta were disposed
of, fine strong grey 4 per cent refraction at 265, good
ditto 5 to 6 per cent 25s to 265, 4 to 4 per cent ditto

and good order repacked 25s per cwt. English Refined
28s 6d to 298 per cwt.
TALLOW.-The demand has further increased for Rus-
sian, and an advance in the value of 9d to Is per cwt has
occurred. There has been a brisk demand on the spot
for candle and soap making purposes, and P.Y.C. of first
quality has been fetching 38s 6d to S9s per cwt ; for deli-
very an extensive business has been transacted, and
39s 6d to 40s per cwt are the rates paid for the last three
Month of the year, At public Isle 542 casks of pow
