ante, but the supply of good and fine Muscovades is quite made.
quate to the demand ; the whole have been cleared of at full
prices : the middling and ordinary hang heavily on hand at the
late reduction which we have noticed in the prices, and there have
been more limited sales this week than usual, owing, in some mea-
sure, to the scarcity of good Muscovades, and also to the eaten.
sive sales of Mauritius Sugar. The sales of this week are estimated
at 2,300 hhds. and trs. In the Refined Market this week there
has been little alteration in the prices, but, from the languid state
of the trade, the few sales reported are a shade lower. Lumps are
reported at its. In fine goods there have been more sales for the
home trade. In crushed there is no alteration. Molasses are still
heavy. In Refined Goods there is no alteration this afternoon.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.-By public sale on Wednesday 15,400
bags Mauritius Sugar sold at much better prices than anticipated ;

COFFEE.-The public sales of Coffee this week have consisted
chiefly of fine ord. to mid. Jamaica of the new arrivals, and for
which there is little or no demand : the great proportion has been
taken in. The ord. and good mid. qualities are scarce, they are

to-day.

111.5 k, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market,
early in the week, assumed some firmness, and the holders refused
to sell proof Leewards under 2s. 2d. ; since then there have again
been symptoms of pressing sales, and a parcel is reported at
per gallon lower. In the other descriptions of Rum there have
been few sales, and the Market generally has a languid appear-
ance. The Brandy by public sale went oti' at fall prices.

been considerable ; the prices are steady. In Hemp or Flax there
Is little alteration.

FRUIT.—Of new Valentia Raisins a very extensive sale has
been made this week (about 10,000 boxes) at 405., which price
being excessive low has brought on a good demand ; in other de-
scriptions there is no alteration to notice ;- but, upon the whole,
there has been rather more inquiry this week.
INDIGO.—The demand for export, which we noticed in our
last, has subsided, and the Market has again become languid,
although the accounts from India are favourable. The dates are
from Calcutta to the 14th January • the lowest estimate of the
crops '78,000 maunds, the highest 85,600, the prices 275 to 310 ; the
