SUGAR.—TO-day middling to fine yellow descriptions
of West India Sugar were in excellent request, and
fetched rather higher rates, making the advance for the
week is per cwt, and of such there is not sufficient at
market to satisfy the wants of the grocers ; inferior
sorts, of which nearly the whole on show consists,
were purchased steadily, and the offers made to lower
rates were rejected by the merchants. The total pur-
chases amounted to 660 hhds, including 100 hhds 6
tierces of Barbadoes at auction, which sold at very full
rates ; indeed fine was rather higher, and fetched 68s,
good 63s to 63s 6d, good midding 60s 6d to 625, middling
58s to 60s, low 575, very low soft 52s to 53s 6d per cwt.
The total quantity sold for the week is 1,960 hhds and
tierces. The market closes firmly with Sugar admissible
for home consumption.
REPINED.—There has been an increased desire mani-
fested on the part of the home trade to purchase Refined
Sugar this week, a good demand has prevailed for all
descriptions, and the rates paid are rather above those
of this day week, the supply has again been small, and
stocks in the hands of town and country grocers
are light, added to which, Refined is much cheaper
than good and fine descriptions of Raw Sugar.
To-day the Grocers purchased Refined Goods with iu-
creased freedom, paying stiffer rates—brown lumps
fetched 725, and standard lumps 73s to 73s 6d. Of
Crushed Sugar refined in bond there is very little offer-
ing, and the Refiners are demanding 30s 3d to 30s 6d.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon 1,145 bags were brought
forward, and sold at and after the public sale at ♦ery
full rates—good yellow fetched 59s to 61s 6d, good mid-
dling 58s, middling 55s to 575, and low 53s 6d per cwt.
•I'he quantity disposed of privately for the week is 4,000
bags.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was no public
sale of Bengal Sugar, but by private contract several
parcels were disposed of at firm rates. The quantity
sold during the week by private contract amounts to
14,000 bags, at prices varrying from 505 to 705 per cwt.
consequence of the principal continental
ports being closed, there are very few orders for any
description of. Foreign Sugar for exportation, and our
refiners working tinder bond are mostly supplied for the
present. There has been no public sale of yellow Ha.
vantiale and by private contract little business has been
transacted, still the offers made at lower rates are rejected,
and 21s to 21s ed per cwt is the value of average parcels.
White is not to be had upon easier terms. With Brazil
of all kinds the market is sparingly supplied ; the de •
mand privately has been only for small parcels at 18a
to 19s fur good and fine brown, 17s to 17s 6,1 for infe-
rior, and at 21s to 24s for common to fine white ; tem,
has been offered at public sale. In other kinds of
Foreign Sugar litil- has boon done.
COFFSE.—There has been little inclination manifested
on the part of the home trade to purchase West India
Coffee this week, but importers having supplied the mar-
ket sparingly, any material decline in prices has
been prevented. By private contract small par-
cel' of Berbice, and of the lower descriptions
of Jamaica, found purchasers, and the rates ac-
cepted were rather under those previously quoted.
This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with more attention,
and 365 bags at public sale sold at au advance on former
rates of Is per cwt, common pale ragged fetching 50s to
51s, good ord pale 525, good ord colory 53s to 53s 6d,
fine ord dark colory 531 6d to 545, sea damaged 48s to
50s 6d, and triage 15s. By private contract the trade
purchased more freely, paying 51s 6d to 52s per cal
for good ord.
TEA.—There has been more activity in the market
than there was !set week ; merchants have shown firm-
ness, and none has been brought to public sale. Congou
has been in excellent request ; the better kinds fully
sustain the former currency, common has been fetching
10id to 11d, rather coarse to rather strong Hid to
Is Id. blackish leaf to blackish leaf rather strong
Is 2d to Is 4d, gt od strong blackish leaf is 4id to
Is 6d, fine is 7d to is 9d, Pekoe flavour Is lad to 2s 6d.
Tie supply has fallen off of Tea worth from is 2d to

the better sorts are wanted, brightish leaf at Is 4d to
Is 9d, superior kind at 2s to 2s 4d. Pouchong at 6d
to 10d. The supply is scanty of Scented Orange Pekoe,
and there are not sellers of fine under 3s 4d.
Hyson common at 2s 6d to 2s 7d, fair to
good 2s 8d to 2s 11d, superior 3s to 4s 6d.

to 2s 6d for Canton and 'l'wankay sort. Gunpowder at
2s 4d to 2s 9d fur Canton, and at 3s 2d to 4s 8d for

Twankay kind, and at 2s 10d to 3s 6d for Hyson sort.
Caper, at Is to is 4d per lb. For Hyson Skin there has
been some inquiry.
Moeesses.—There has been a considerable increase
in the demand for West India of all descriptions this
week, and the large quantity of 803 puns found buyers at
very full rates ; that is to say—at 20s to 23s 6d for dark
St. liitt's to middling Antigua and St. Vincent's.
Cocoa.—Foreign is much wanted, and in consequence
of the scanty supply, buyers have been compelled to
pay a further advance in prices ; at public sale 81 bags
of Bahia were sold, good bold red at sss, sea damaged
32s per cwt. The demand has been good for West
India by private contract, flue red Trinidad has fetched
49s to 51a, good 46s to 48s, low to mid 42s to 455, and
Grenada 41s to 475, per cwt.
Si•lcscs—Sumatra of good quality has fetched 2/01 to
