SUGAR.—To-day there was not much inclination shown to
purchase West India Sugar, but merchants evinced firmnes.,
and the small business transacted was upon former terms.

fined goods for home consumption, and advanced rates have
been paid ; indeed the market has been nearly cleared, es-
pecially of the low and middling descriptions.
Mausmus.—This afternoon Mauritius met with little
attention, and 4,508 bags at auction were only in part sold,
at rather lower rates.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was better suTo-
rdied with Bengal Sugar, and three parcels, amounting to
2,700 bags were offered at auction.
FoRE/GN.—Although there are few shipping orders for any
descriptions of Foreigo, and our refiners working under bond
being supplied for the present, still holders show firmness,
and have refrained from bringing any to public sale.
MoLAssEs.—Holders of West India submitting to rather
lower rates caused buyers to operate more freely, and 500
puncheons have been disposed of.
TmA.—There has been no public sale held since our last
report, but there is a large quantity on. offer, by private treaty,
of black and green; the trade, however, both in town and
country, are not inclined to take more than their present
wants require, notwithstanding the moderate rates that
exist.
UoIFEE.—To-day there was little desire evinced to pur-
chase Mocha Coffee, and ,at the public sales of 9 cases 387
hales, prices declined 2s to 4s per cwt; a small part only was
