THE MARKEETS=(YESTRDAY.?

COLONIAL

SUGAR.—There is no change to notice in the value
of British Plantation, only about 300 hhds having
been sold at previous prices. The public sales have
contained 1,838 boxes yellow Havannah, which was
all taken in at 20s to 22s 6d for low to fine quality,
being the extreme value ; but at those prices there
were not purchasers. The transactions privately
consist chiefly of about 450 hhds of Porto Rico, which
have been sold (for refining in bond) at 18s 6d,
3,000 bags Manilla, at 15s to 19s, mostly of low
quality, at the former price, and 5,000 baskets Java,
at 22s 6d to 245, all of which are extreme-rates. The
quantity of British Plantation landed last week at
the East and West India Docks was 367 hhds, 46
tierces, 18 barrels, and there were taken for home
consumption, 1,178 hhds, 121 tierces, 64 barrels. The
stock in the same places was 14,637 hhds, 1,870
tierces, and 1,519 barrels.

COFFEE.-183 bales Mocha, 953 bags (Dutch Com-
pany's) Java, and 800 barrels and bags La Guayra
have been offered by auction, which were also all taken
in chiefly above the value, viz., good mid green and
yellow Mocha at 77s to 80s, good ord pale and yellow
Java at 46s to 46s 6d (one lot 48s), and low mid and
mid coloury La Guayra at 61s to 665. Subsequently
a small portion of the Java has been sold at 45s to 465.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East
and West India Docks was 357 puns 7 hhds ; there
were taken for home consumption 315 puns 69 hhds,
and exported 62 puns 13 hhds. The stock in the
same places is 14,384 puns 2,547 hhds.
SALTPETRE.-450 bags Saltpetre were withdrawn
at 26s 6d (one lot 275) for 91- per cent refraction,
being above the value.

SPICES.-830bagsSumatra Pepper, and 283 chests
Cassia Lignea ; the former was all withdrawn at 3d
for ord to good black, and the latter sold at 90s to
94s for good mid to good quality, and good ord coarse
at 80s to 82s, which is a decline of fully is to 2s.

TALLOW.—The large arrivals have caused the
markets to be dull, and prices are not quite sup •
ported. P.Y.C. is 4Ss per cwt on the spot, and
Town 51s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—The public sales of 60,000 packages are now
in progress, and yesterday of 15,600 packages offered
only 2,300 were sold, the holders buying in largely to
support the market, so that the quotations realised
were generally as good as before the China news came
to hand ; Congous of good quality, however, being
d. per lb. lower. To-day sales are going off much
the same, and the holders are withdrawing very freely,
still determined, apparently, to support the market.
HAY MARKETS.

SMITHFIELD.—Coarse Meadow Hay, Si to 31154;
useful ditto, 4/ to 4/ 4s ; fine Upland ditto,
41 5s to 4l lOs ; Clover Hay, 4/ to 5/ 10s; Oat
Straw, 1/ 16s to 11 18s ; Wheat Straw, 1/ 18s to
2/ per load. Trade, throughout,idull, at barely the
above quotations. _

CUMBERLAND.—Coarse Meadow Hay, 3/ 5s to 4/ ;
useful ditto, 4/ 2s to 416 s ; fine Upland ditto, 4/ 8s
4l 13s ; Clover Hay, 4/ to 5l 8s ; Oat Straw, 1/ 16s
to 1/'lBs ; Wheat Straw, 1/ 19s to 212 s per load.
A fair average supply, and a heavy inquiry. Prices
somewhat drooping.
WHITECITAPEL.—Coarse Meadow Hay, 3/ to 4/ ;
useful ditto, 4/ to 41 6s ; fine Upland ditto, 4/ 7s to
4/ lOs ; Clover Hay, 4/ 5s to 5/ 15s ; Oat Straw,
1116 s to 11 18s; Wheat Straw, 1/ 18s to 2l is per
load. Both Hay and Straw met a dull inquiry, at
about last week's currencies.

k From the London New Price Current of November 29-)
SUGAR.—To-,day buyers of British Plantation Sugar
came forward more freely, and merchants manifested
firmness ; a fair demand prevailed for both yellow and
strong grey descriptions, which brought full rates.
Brown kinds sustained the former currency, and met
with more attention. The private purchases amounted
to 350 hhds and trcs, and ale market closed with deci-
dedly a more healthy appearance ; of the finest yellow
sorts the supply is not ample for the wants of the trade.
This afternoon a public sale of 100 hhds 1 trc Barba-
does Sugar went off with fair spirit, at an advance on
former rates of 6d per cwt for fine yellow, and at full
prices for all other descriptions ; fine yellow fetched 68s
to 68s Gd, good 65s 6d to 67s 6d, middling 62s 6d to 655,
and low greyish COs per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in excellent
demand for home consumption at further improved
prices. Standard Lumps selling at 74s 6d to 755, Brown
Grocery 73s to• 745, and Brown Melting Lumps 71s to
72s per cwt. Treacle was taken more freely; Bastards
and Pieces in good request, the former at 46s to 595, and
the latter at 60s to 70s. Bonded Crushed Sugar sells
freely at 25s 6d for the best, and the market is firm. In
other articles there is no variation.
MAURITIUS.—There has been no public sale of this
description of Sugar ; privately yellow descriptions have
been sought after, and the few parcels offering have found
ready purchasers at stiffer rates. This afternoon several
inquiries existed, and 108 bags at public sale were sold
at 51s 6d to 52s for common Brown, being the full value.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the trade were ready
purchasers of Bengal Sugar, and 5,401 bags at public
sale were all sold at full rates, excepting for common
kinds, which went rather lower; fine white fetched 69s 6d,
good 673 6d, mid date kind 64s to 655, low 61s 6d to
63s 6d, good yellow 63s to 63s 6d, mid 60s to 62s 6d, low
58s 6d per cwt.
• FOREIGN.—Prices have further advanced for nearly
all descriptions, and an increased desire has been shown
to purchase. To-day both Bahia and yellow Havannah
Sugar were wanted, but the smallness of the supply
tended to operate against business ; 20s Gd to 22s Gd
paid for some parcels of low to fine yellow Havannali.
There was no public sale, and the market closed very
firmly.
MOLASSES.—The common descriptions of West India
are dull of sale, and rather cheaper, but fine sorts are
firm in price ; fine Antigua 30s to 31s, 28s 6d for good
St. Vincents, 25s 6d for common, and 25s for St. Lucia.
Bengal Syrup at 25s to 26s 6d. Foreign Molasses at 6s
9d to 7s 6d. Honey at 28s to 70s for common to fine
quality ; Tousles Mois at 7d to lld per lb.
COFFEE.—There has been more disposition shown to
purchase West India Coffee, and full rates have been
paid privately for clean descriptions ; of middling and
good middling the supply is unusually small. Mocha
has been in fair request at the former currency.
This afternoon Coffee was in good request by the
Home Trade, and holders supplied the market sparingly,
only 16 casks Demerara and 397 bags of St. Domingo
were offered at auction, the former went at 84s for
low mid, 67s for good ord, and 50s to 55s 6d. for ord
and good ord, the latter realised 32s for good ord, being
full rates for both. By private contract parcels of good
and real good ord Ceylon were sold at 63s to64s ; Padang
common 295, and Sumatra ord to good 25s t 0278 per cwt.
TEA.—To-day merchants submitte&to a further re-
duction in price, making the fall as compared with the
rates of the last public auctions of 2d to 3d for Hyson and
Young Hyson, 2d for Imperial and Gunpowder, 2d for
Pouchong, and ld to lid per lb for Congou, tempted the
trade to come forward more freely, still a heaviness per-
vaded the sales, the trade being disposed to purchase
only sufficient for their.immediate wants of either Black
or„Green Tea, and prices are still unsettled, no Twankay
or Common Congou yet disposed of. Of the total quan-
tity passed the chair amounting to 28,000 packages, only
7,000 have been actually sold. Imperial. good ord coa to but

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been S.
brisk demand for Brandy, and prices have again ad-
vanced—Cognac

4s 7d for hhds, and puns 4s 5d ; 1840, blids 4s 4d, puns
4s 2d ; 1841, hhds 4s, puns 3s 10d, and very low marks

to Is 9d for common, and fine at 2s 6d to 2s Bd. Eng-

Bengal Rice, and stiffer prices were paid. Sales pri-
vately of middling white made at 11s 6d, common lls per
cwt. The stock continues on the decrease.
FRUlT.—lmporters of Currants have again submitted
to lower prices. All other sorts of Fruit have been in
excellent request.
The public sales of Oranges have gone off briskly ;
Fayal in large boxes fetching 23s to 23s 6d, and in small
boxes 15s to 15s 6d.
Ismico.—The market is in a healthy state for East
India Indigo; prices continue on the advance ; buyers
anxious to increase their stocks, and merchants supply
the market reluctantly.
TALLOW.—The market has been in a tranquil state for
Russia Tallow since Thursday last, and importers have
submitted to a reduction of 3d to 6(1 per cwt.: on the
spot 47s 9d to 48s have been accepted for new P.Y.

Among the 178,000,000 individuals who inhabit
Europe there are said to be 17,900,000 beggars, or
persons who subsist at the expense of the community
without contributing to its resources. In Denmark
the proportion is 5 per cent., in England 10 per cent.,
in Holland 14 per cent.
