StTGAR.-To-day there was a good demand for West
India Sugar from grocers and refiners, and very full

light. At public sale 125 hhds of Barbadoes Sugn-
fetched very full rates-that is to say, fine yellow at 545,

495. 191 hhds of Trinidad were since taken in at 503
for mid greyish, being above the value; full market rates

sold rather under the buying-in price. The total quan-
tity of Sugar sold to-day amounted to 600 hhds and trcs.

to purchase Refined goods, and prices not so firm, brown
grocery lumps selling at 66s 6d to 675, and standard
lumps at 68s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is firm
at 43s per cwt for first sort ; but there is yet little to
be had.

purchasers, and the market has been nearly cleared at
further advanced rates. 6,401 bags at auction

received from Holland. By private treaty, 1,200 boxes
of good white Havaimah sold at 41s, ant 100 chests of

RICE.-To-day all descriptions of Itice were purchased
with caution, and prices are not so firm; 14s to 18s per

practice in the marshes, and the officers and men remained in
review order from half-past eleven o'clock until a late hour;
