(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 18.)
SUGAR.—Since our last report firmness has charac-
terised the home consumption Sugar market, and there
has been a considerable falling off in the quantity sub-
mitted to public competition. To-day there was no
public sale of any description of Raw Sugar. There
was only a limited business transacted in the West India
market ; but holders were firm, and obtained former
rates. The total purchases for the week are 2,000 hhds
and trcs.
REFINED.—The demand has been limited for Refined
goods from the home trade, and more inclination has
been manifested on the part of Refiners to sell, who have
submitted to a reduction cn former rates of 6d to Is.
To. day the grocers purchased goods more freely, paying
72s to 72s 6d for brown, and 73s to 73s 6d per cwt for
standard lumps. There are not turther sellers of bonded
Crushed Sugar under 28s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—There has been more firmness on the part of
importers this week,:and none has been brought to public
sale ; &better- detnand las prevailed by private contract .
for all descriptions, and in some cases the rates paid are
rather above those of the last public auction ; the supply
has become scanty of yellow, and of brown sorts the
quantity at m.erket is much h•ss than has been the case
of late. The stock in the docks is only 534 bags more
than
it was last 1. ar at this time, nearly the whole of
which is held by the dealer:, l his afternoon some par-
cels were sold privately rather above former rates.
EAST INDIA.—HoId'IS of shit, Bengal sugar are less
inclined to r•atis• , and none has been offered at puhlir
sale this Nseek. This attention th: re was a good
I deal doing hy priv:ae contract in white Ben-
alg :•u gar, and th.- rat. .s paid wg r.• 6d to is
per cwt ah,ve tho,c 01 the I,,st rblic sale ; none was
offered at auction.Tu-ei,tyl. Sugar met with
attention, but higher rates being asked checked business,
and 2,260 bags at public sale were li taken in aloe th.
i value ; low anti damp brown at 15: 6il to 16s, and mid
sound 17s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—Y.IIow Havannali is held with firmness,
and there are not sellers but at the improved rates of lost
week. With Brazil the market has been bettfr supplied,
-otiljtfiere‘has been less demand, and a decline in prices
holtd pd. cwt has taken place. Of 571 chests 92 bags
Bahia, Ptirt- only , purchasers .aiing to
good greyish brown at Os "to 18k and.
low to good v;rhite 20S to 22 , There is' no filt6ratiOn'
~in the value of Porto Rico. •

MOLASSES.—The demand is on the increase' for West
India ; holders show firmness, and have obtained former
rates. 250 puns Antigua have been disposed of pri-
vately at 23s 6d to 24s per cwt. East India Molasses at
143 to I6s per cwt. The low rates that prevail check
shipments from Calcutta and Madras. For Honey prices
are on the advance.

COCOA.—The market is still scantily supplied with
West India, although a large parcel of Trinidad has
arrived ; 10 brls of St. Vincent at auction fetched 365,
and very low red 30s per cwt. The market for Foreign
has a firm appearance, and the stock is on the decrease.
Rica.—lmporters of Bengal supply the market
sparingly, and none has again been offered at auction;
there are many purchasers, and they have been com-
pelled to pay I Is 6d to 12s for middling and good middling
white, and 12s 6d per cwt for good. To-day former
rates were fully supported, for Bengal Rice 250 bags
good middling white rather dusty at public sale were
sold at 12s per cwt.
Coent.—The stock here is large of all descriptions
of Coffee, and in nearly every instance much more than
it was last year at this period. Although there are sel-
lers of West India upon further reduced terms, still the
home trade have purchased with much caution, and the
few parcels disposed of privately are much under the
rates that prevailed three months back: the second
hand holders are decidedly desirous to reduce their
stocks, on account of the cheapness of other sorts of
Coffee. This afternoon there was no public sale of any
kind of Coffee, and the amount of business transacted by
private, treaty was extremely limited by shippers and the
home trade; ols to 52s is the value of good ordinary
Ceylon.
TEA.—To-day the biddings were very languid at the
public sales of Tea, and the quantity actually disposed
of was small, only 2,600 finding buyers out of 16,900
packages gone through. Several merchants, however,
were not disposed to submit to lower rates, and
again bought in and withdrew large parcels ; those that
were disposed to realise accepted prices id to id
under those of the last public sales for Congou, and id
to id per lb for Twankay. Common Congou sold at
1041 to 103 d. Twankay ordinary Is lid to Is lid per lb.
The total quantity passed the sales to this afternoon is
33,400 packages, only 4,050 of which were sold.
SPICES.—This afternoon a large parcel of Cassia
Ligno-a sold at a decline on former rates of la per cat;
