- PRICE OF SUGAR • '
The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, for the
week ending March 19, 1844, is 365. 11d. per cwt., exclusive
of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the im-
portation thereof into Great Britain.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, of March 22.)
SUGAR.—The market has been better supplied with West
India Sugar this week; the trade generally have operated with
, reluctance, and the demand for Refining and Grocery purposes
has been very limited.
, To-day there was no public sale of raw Sugar of any sort ;.a
i better demand prevailed for British Plontation, and 400 hhds
• were sold at the rates previouslyesiablished ; Refiners and.
Grocers, however, were not disposed to purchase more than
present wants require.
REFINED.—Prices have again given way for Refined goods,
and rule Is 6d to 2s per cwt under those of this day week.
To-day Refined Sugar was in better request, but the Refiners'
were disposed to make sales, and accepted 74s for brown, and
75s for standard Lumps. -In bonded Crushed little was done,
but there is no disposition to further give way in price.
MAURITIUS—There has been a reduction on previous rates'
of Is per cwt ; low brown at 49s 6d to 518, good and mid
54s to 565, low yellow 58s to 58s 6d, wid 59116 d to 61s, good
61s 6d to 62s 6d, fine 65, to 665, very fine bright and strong
67s to 67s 6d, and mid to good grey 58s to 61s per cwt.
EA ST 114131 A.—Prices have further given way 6cl to Is per
cwt for Bengal Sugar this week, good and fine white at 65s to
665, middling yellow 58s 6d, good bright 62s 6d to 635, white
damp and washed 62t to Os, yellow ditto. at 57s 6d to 61s per
cwt; for Manilla Sugar rather higher rates paid ; Java at 17s
to 22s per cwt.
FonziGN.—To-day there was no public sales of Foreign
Sugar • privately 1,000 boxes brown and low soft yellow Ha-
vannah, of old importation, sold at 18s to 19s for refining here
in bond, and were considered high prices, when it was taken
into consideration the inferior quality ; this is Is per cwt above
last Friday's rates.
MOLASSES.—Prices continue to give way for West India,
and are is per cwt under those of this day week. Demerara
25s per cwt for fine. Bengal Syrup at loweo rates.
COCOA.—Holders of Foreign sqow firmness. Para taken in
at 29s 6d per cwt for mixed red, only 27s 6d offered; West
India is much wanted ; Trinidad, good to fine red 57s to 603,
low to middling 51, to 665, and grey 503 to 55s per cwt.
TEA. —The amount of business transacted in black Tea has
been upon a small scale only, and rather lower rates again
accepted. To-day many pastels of new Green Tea were sold
at stiff rates; Young Hyson fetched 2s to 3s sd, and Imperial
and Gunpowder 3s to 4s 6d per lb ; in Coogan and Twankey
little business was done.

RlCE.—Bengal mid to fine white at Its 6d to I2s 6d ; 108 to
108 6d for low broken white, and 9s 6d far sea damaged • yel-
low Madras and Java at 8s 6d to 9s per cwt. Cleaned Rice at
the former currency.
SAGO.—Fine entail white at 235, good 22s 6d, good mid grey
18s 6d to 19s, mid 17s to 18s, and one lot foul 16s per cwt.
Sago Flour 21s to 22s per cwt for good quality. Arrowroot:
Bermuda 10d to Is nd, St. Vincents 4}d to 6d, and Jamaica
6d ter lb.
COFFEE.—For West India not much inquiry has prevailed
this week, but the supply being small, previous rates are sus-
tained. This afternoon the home trade were little disposed to
purchase Coffee, and the market presented a flat appearance.
Ceylon was disposed of by private contract at 66s
to 66s 6d per cat for good ordinary, being again
lower. Of Costa Rice 978 bags were offered at
public sale and partly sold at the former value fine ordinary
green 52s to 54s ; 142 bugs of Batavia sold at 28s for good or-
dinary rather mixed ; 396 bags cf Mysore taken in above the
value ; good ordinary yellow at 47s 6d to 48s ; 41 barrels of
Berbice sold at t 6s for fine ordinary unclean, 57, to 59s 6d for
good
ordinary, and 23s to 27s for Triage. Foreign Coffee was
