(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 9.)
SUGAR.—To-day a great desire was shown to purchase West
India Sugar; the demand was extensive for every description;
an increased quantity was taken for the outports, and buyers
were compelled to pay an advance on the rate of Friday of is
per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day the demand was active for refined
goods for home con-umption, and stiffer rates were paid, brown
lumps selling at 65s to 665, and standard lumps 67s per cwt.
The market has become bare 6f goods. In bonded Crushed
there was nothing doing.
Msuarrius.—All descriptions have been inquired after,
and the rates offered are equal to those previously quoted, but
the quantity on offer by private treaty is trifling, and
none has been submitted to public competition. A
large parcel will, however, be shortly declared.
EA ST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal sugar was in excel-
lent request, and the parcels submitted to public competition
all sold at an advance of 6d to Is per cwt. 918 bags consisted
of Dobah kind, and sold as follows : fine strong grainy
yellow at 62s to 635, good 59s to 59s 6d, middling

50s tid to 525, washed 46s 6(1 to 50s 6d, drainage damaged

attention, and 134 baskets, duty paid, at public sale were
taken in at 56s for middling strong grey.
FOREIGN.—To-day the market was in a quiet state, and by
private treaty little business was transacted in any description,
although some parties were inclined to sell. At public sale
171 hhds of Cuba Muscovado sold at rather lower rates.
COFFEE.—'To-day holders of Coffee manifested firmness,
and supplied the market sparingly. Ceylon was disposed of to
a fair extent pt ivately, and good ord brought 47s 6(1 to 48s per
cwt ; at auction 327 bags of Plantation were only partly sold in
consequence of stiffer rates being asked.
COCOA.—West India is wanted, and buyers are willing to
pay full rates, but at present there is not much in the market :
Trinidad red fetched 44s to 49s by private treaty, and grey 430
to 47s per cwt. one had been offered at auction, but 200
bags of Trinidad are declared. For Foreign prices are fully
-as high, and there are several purchasers.
TEA..—Holders manifested firmness, and have refrained
from offering any at public sale. Congou has been in excellent
request privately, and fully former rates have been obtained for
all sorts. In l'ouchong a good deal was done on former terms.
Souchong hes been sold to a fair extent at stiffer rates.
For Twankay prices cannot be quoted higher, but
many parcels have been sold. In Scented Orange Pekoe
more business has been done at 2s 10d to 3s for good and fine. In
Flowery and plain Orange there has been more doing at the
late reduced rates. Hyson has been in good demand, but
prices do not improve. In Gunpowder a good deal has been
done, but at a further reduction in prices. Of Imperial several
parcels have been sold in consequence of easier rates being taken.
Sric as. —Pimento is st ill meth in request,and buyerslaave been
compelled to pay stiffer rates. The market is in a quiet state for
black pepper, but holders are not inclined to reduce their prices;
white is still wanted, and the prices sold privately were at
former rates. 52 bales of CaFsicum were taken in at 50s. East
India Ginger is offered at rather lower rates by pri-
vate treaty, still few buyers are to be met
with. Jamaica is all of sale, and a little cheaper.
Cassia Lignea is much wanted, and buyers are compelled to
pay stiffer rates. Cloves are wanted, and prices are looking
up. In Mace several purchases were made privately at 2s to
3s 2d. Nutmegs are in good request. The good and fine
sorts of Cinnamon are still wanted, and fetch last sales' rates.
SPIRITS.—To-day the demand was lively for Leeward Island
Rum, and stiffer rates were paid; indeed, there is not sufficient
at market to supply the demand ; sales were made at is 10d to
Is lld per gallon proof. Calcutta is much wanted, and fetched
higher rates, sales having been made at Is 10d per gallon proof
with certificate. In Jamaica the operations were on a more
extended scale, in consequence of rather lower rates being
' taken.

- -

121 bags Honduras at auction sold with spirit; silvers fetched
5s 2d for COMMOR to fine, being again 1d to 2d higher, black,
sold at 5s 10d to 6s 7d for middling to fine, being the former
worth.

decline in prices of Sc to lOs per tun has occurred. In Cod few
purchases have been made. Seal Oil is held with
firmness, and a good demand has been experienced.
In Sperm several purchases made privately, and holders mani-
fest mere firmness. With Linseed Oil the market is largely
supplied, and there are sellers at further reduced rates.
For forward delivery little business has been transacted, the
con•umption, however, is good. In Rape a fair business has
been transacted ; the supply at present is but a moderate
one. The market has a firm appearance for Olive Oil.
Palm is wanted, and commands full rates. The demand has
fallen off for Cocoa Nut Oil, but holders insist upon former
terms. Lard Oil is worth 42/ to 44/, and Ground Nut 30/ to
32/ per tun.
TALLow.—Town Tallow met with a brisk sale at 42s to
42s 6d nett cash, and the supply is still insufficient for the de-
mand. All other kinds of Tallow are wanted, and the supply
has fallen off. 370 boxes South American sold at 41s 6d
to 41s 9d for fine ; 301 casks of N. S. Wales, fine 42s 3d

to this time.

the atmospheric line would be opened, but no time would
be lost by the Directors. The prospectus of the new
Kent line would be shortly issued, and he could not say
before that time in what proportion shares might be ap-
portioned to the Croydon Proprietors.
The report was than adopted.

Mr. 1111,Arnim moved a.resolution that the accounts
of the Company should be made out on the system pur-
sued in 1841 instead of as at present.
The resolution was negatived by an immense ma-
jority.
Several other resolutions in accordance with the re-
port were then carried, and after a vote of thanks to the
Chairman, the meeting broke up.
