• is that principally worth from 53s to 57s 6d. Raw Sugar
is cheaper than at Liverpool, Bristol, or Glasgow, by 2s
to 5s per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day there was a good business tran-
sac ed in Refined Sugar for home consumption; brown
grocery lumps fetehsd 725, and standard lumps 73s per
cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar was much sought after,
and buyers were compelled to pay 28s 6d per cwt for
delivery. For Loaves an extensive demand has sprung
up, and the market has been nearly cleared, 400 hhds
have been sold, 101 b at 29s 6d per cwt.
MAURlTlUS.—lmporters have shown firmness, and
the market has been sparingly supplied with all descrip-
tions : by private contract some parcels have been dis-
posed of upon former terms : at public sale 89 bags
were disposed of, middling yellow at 545, low 51s 6d,
mid brown 465, and very low black brown 39s per cwt.
The :quantity remaining in first hands is reduced to
12,000 bags, there has been one small arrival since this
day week. The stock is rather less than it was last year
at this period.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 2,296
bags of Bengal Sugar were offered, the principal por-
t on consisted of grey brown and inferior yellow, they
went off with heaviness, and a part only sold at rather
lower rates, brown at 40s to 435, low and middling yel-
low 50s to 53s 6d, good middling 57s 6d, good grey
57s Gd to 58s Gd, low and mid 52s to 565, but the better
kinds fetched full rates, middling white 59s 6d to 60s,
good mid and good 61s to 63s 6d, fine yel Dobah 66s to
675, mid to good 61s to 61s. Madras, 773 bags, duty paid,
and 1,344 bags. in bond, were offered at auction, the
former nearly all taken in, low brown 42s to 42s 6d,
washed 41s to 4ls 6d, damp low to middling 42s to 445,
and good 47s to 51s ; the latter sold at lower rates, very
common damaged dark brown at 13s 6d to 14s 6d, mid
17s to 19s, better quality 22s 6d to 30s, and good sound
bright yellow 30s per cwt. For public sale on Friday
8,100 bags of Bengal Sugar were declared, 1,500 of
which consist of fine yellow chrystalised.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and little business was transacted privately, but
holders would not submit to lower rates. On 'Change
a floating cargo of 700 chests of white Bahia was sold,
deliverable here, at 22s 6d per cwt, being a full price.
MOLASSES.—This afternoon, at public sale, 27 hhds of
Bengal Molasses, duty paid, were taken in at 21s, being
above the value, and 2 casks of Madras in bond at 7s 6d
per cwt.
Cocoa.—This afternoon, 21 bags of Grenada Cocoa,
at public sale, fetched 42s 6d per cwt, for middling Red,
being the full value.
COFFEE.—The lower descriptions of West India Cof-
fee are abundant, and further reduced rates have been
accepted, still the trade purchased with caution ; for
the better kinds there are few orders, and prices are still
going down. To-day there was little inclination to
purchase Ceylon Coffee, and 50s 6d to 51s per cwt
is the value of good ordinary. Mocha was in dull
demand, and 167 bales 10 cases at auction were
only partly sold at low rates—bold rather dull
greenish Mysore went at 38s to 40s 6d. yel-
lowish mixed 395, low broken 18s to 225, and sea
damaged 31s to 58s, middling small sound greenish
mixed with Mocha was taken in at 655, and good mid
greenish Mocha at 75s per cwt. The stock of West
India Coffee at this port is 147 casks less, but of barrels
and bags 3,143 more than last year at this time. Of
Mocha it is 890 bales, and of Ceylon 21,696 bags greater
than in 1843 at this period, but of other East India sorts
it is 15,576 bags less than at that time.
TEA.—There has been more activity in the market
since this day week. Importers are less inclined to
realise, and none has been brought to public sale ; Con-
) you has been in good request but hollers are unable to
obtain any advance in prices; the rates previously
established are, however, sustained, large parcels
have been sold at 10d to 104 d for common,
and 10Id to Ild per lb for good common. Of fine sorts
the supply at market is small, and they are held for stiff
rates. To-day several parcels of Tea were disposed of,
and at stiffer rates for the lower qualities. Common
sound Congou cash is with difficulty to be purchased at
10d per lb ; common yellow leaf Twankay is fetching
lsldtols2dperlb.
FRUIT.—To-day Currants met with increased atten-
tion and prices are firmer for Old, Zante and Cephalonia
fetching 41s to 42, Patras 42s to 44s—New Patras are
47s to 50s, and Zante 46s to 47s per cwt. Valentia
Raisins are much wanted but there are at present none
in the market. Of Turkey Pulled Figs none are left in
first hands.

RUM, BRANDY, AND Hoir.LANDs.—There has been a
much better demand for Leeward Island Rum, and the
rates paid are rather above those formerly quoted—the
market for Jamaica has been quiet and only a limited
business has been transacted by shippers or the home
trade ; 100 puns have been sold at 4s to 4s 2d for fair
quality 30 to 32 per cent overproof. Demerara
quality selling at 3s 3d to 3s 6d. For Calcutta Rum
2s 3d proof has been refused for a large parcel. Prices
are fully supported for Brandy, and a good demand exists
at the following rates, viz.:—Cognac, best brands of the
vintage of 1838, hhds 5s Id, puns 4s lld ; 1839, hhds
4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; 1340, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; 1841,
hhds 43 9d, puns 4s 7d ; 1842, hhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d,
low 3s to 3s 3d, and middling 3s 4d to 3s 10d. Geneva
has been taken sparingly; export sort at Is 9d to is 10d,
and fine for duty at 2s 6d to 3s 6d. Prices are still sup-
portee for English Corn Spirits. To-day an increased
dksire was shown to purchase Brandy, and large parcels
were disposed of at firm rates, 4s 4d and 4s 6d paid for
Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1842.
Rica.—To-day East India Rice was sought after, and
some parcels were disposed of privately at full rates ;
600 bags of Madras at auction were however only partly
sold, in consequence of rather higher prices being asked—
mid rather dusty and broken went at 9s 6d to 10s, low
ditto 9s to 9s 6d, and sea damaged 5s to 8s 6d per cwt.
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 80 bags of Bourbon
Cloves were sold at lower rates, and went at 9d to 9id
for middling, 8d to 84d for low, and 63-d to 7d for sea
damaged ; 958 bags of Malabar Ginger were taken in
at 30s per cwt for common, being above the value ; 18
boxes of Cassia Lignea were taken in of 503 for broken
large quill, being more than it was worth ; 18 bags of
White Pepper at 5d per lb for middling dingy, being
above the value.

SAGO.—The demand is on the increase, and prices are
looking up. The stock is reduced to a small ebb :
common pearl has been selling at 14s to 15s, middling
16s to 18s, good 193 to 21s, and fine 22s to 24s per cwt.
Sago Flour has been taken sparingly, at 18s to 19s per
cwt. For Arrowroot prices are kept low by the large
stock.

TALLOW.—Although the market has been well sup-
plied with American Tallow still prices are supported,
252 pipes 22 hhds 5 brls of South American at public
sale fetched 34s to 39s 6d : 224 casks North American
melted 39s to 40s 9d : of 127 casks New Wales
were disposed of at 38s to 41s 3d per cwt.
There has been a good business transacted in Rus-
sian on the spot, and prices rule firm, new P. Y.
Candle at 41s to 41s 6d, and old 40s 6d to 41s 9d per
cwt ; but for delivery there are few purchasers, and
there are sellers of new to the end of the year at 40s 9d
to 41s ; Town Tallow is much in request at 42s to 42s 6d
per cwt net cash, and the market is still moderately sup-
plied. There have been large arrivals of Russian.
Oats.—The market has been better supplied with
Sperm Oil, and a decline in prices has taken place ;
at public sale 80 tuns went at 851 to 891 for Oil, and
94115 s per tun for hca,dmatter. For common Fish Oil
the demand has been limited, and prices have de-
clined 20s to 30s per tun for Southern, 100 tuns at
auction selling at 261 103 to 331 for low to fine
quality ; for all other sorts prices are drooping, 351 to
3515 s accepted for pale Seal, and 331 per tun for Cud ;
there is, however, not a large quantity offering for sale,
and stocks are by no means heavy ; Linseed Oil at
23s 9d to 24s per cwt. Rape Oil Pale selling at 35s 6d
to 365, and brown 34s 6d to 45s per cwt ; few purchasers
have been made. Cocoa Nut Oil at 26s 3d per cwt.
Palm at 26s to 275. In the value of Olive Oil no varia-
tion has taken place.

demand for East India since this day week, and 300
chests have been disposed of at prices fully equal to those
of the last quarterly sales prices ; there is nothing
pressing upon the market. Prices are Is to Is 5d per lb.
lower than they were last year at this time. Spanish is
held for the former currency.
