SUCAR.—There has been an increased disinclination on the
part of the trade to operate in West India Sugar since this day
week, and, the market has been in a very dull state, both grocers
and refiners purchasing with much caution, and only 150 hhds
and tierces have been disposed of during the three market
days, although isnyorters have submitted to a reduction
of Is 6d to 2s per cwt for all descriptions; the trifling quan-
tity sold may be principally ascribed to the Trade being enabled
to supply their wants with other sorts of Sugar on more ad-
vantageous terms. The arrivals have been trifling since this
day week. The quantity imported this year has been rather
less than in 1841. The stock held by the Merchants is small.
To-day the market for all desciiictions of Raw sugar pre-
sented a flat appearance, the Trade having for the most part
ceased to operate, in consequence of its being expected that
Government will make known their intentions in the course
of the week as to the measures they intend to adopt with re-
spect to Foreign Sugar. The purchases in West India are not
worth enumerating, and the public sales of Mauritius and
Bengal were postponed.
REFINED.—The home trade has operated with caution in
Refined goods since our last report. Refiners have sub-
mitted to a reduction en last Tuesday's rates of
Is fid to 2s per cwt. Standard lumps at 79s to 7th 6d,
brown lumps 72s to 78s, Tittlers, ord 78s to 795, mid to- fine

at 27s to 27s 6d, patent, 28s to 30s, golden Syrup 3ls to 32s
per cwt, being rather cheaper. Pieces low to mid at 61s to 68s,
good to fine 6s to 72s per cwt. Bastards, common 40s to 445,
midite good 45s to 53e, fine 54s to 58s per cwt. For bonded
crushed Sugar prices are rather lower, 28s 9d to 29s having
been accepted for first sort loaves at 31s to 33s for lOlbs and
141bs. Treacle at I2s to Its 3d per cyst. Bastards and Pieces E
14s 6.1 to 23s per cwt. Dutch Crushed Sugar at 27s on hoard
for the lest. To-day the demand was dull for refined goods,
and 78s 6d to 79s the value of standard lumps; Bonded Crushed
28s 9d per cyst.
IllaUßlTlUS.—Prices have further given way Is. per rat ;
at auction 6,726 bags have been offered, a small proi,ortion only
of which found purchasers ; at and after the sales, fine bright

fine quality ; Brazil of brown quality is wanted ; prices have
been fully sustained ; white at 20s to 24s 6d for low to good.

fair amount of business has been transacted; the sales have
been 250 puns. Demerara good and fine 27s 6d to 28s, Anti-
gua ordinary 275. St. Kitts fair 255, ordinary St. Lucia 24s
per cat. Bengal Syrup has been selling in small parcels at
23s to 255, but Foreign Molasses is dull of sale at 6s 6d to 8s

Tea.—There has not been much activity in the market for
free trade Tea during the past week, still a fair demand pre-
vailed for both Black and Green sorts. The public sales which
commenced on Tuesday last, concluded on Wednesday; on the
former day prices declined fd to id fur Congou and Twankay,
and Id to '2d for Pouchong, but on the latter day holders
prevented any further fall, by withdrawing a large ouanity.
Of the total quantity offered, amounting to 32,000 packages,
14,000 were sold on the following terms : —Congou, coarse
new and rnized leaf went at Is 10d to Is 106 d, but mid-
dling rather strong burnt is 1064 to is 101/2d, but

he advices received from China are of an important
nature ; they state that Chusan, Ningpo, and Chinghae, had
been captured b, the British forces with trifling loss, although
the Chinese evinced more bravery than they have hitherto
done. Trade was going on at Canton. Tea was arriving
down in large quantities, and it was estimated that the new
season's supply would be about 33,000,000 lbs ; the crop of
Congou was expected to be 450 chops. Prices have opened
high, 33 to 39 tack being paid for Congou. The total pur-
chases made in Tea is stated to amount to 60 chops : at Can-
ton the Chinese had shown some inclination to infringe the
truce.

The above caused holders of Tea yesterday to require ad-
vanced rates; buyers likewise were more disposed to operate,
and a fair demand of business was transacted at id per lb ad-
vance • still the market was not excited, several of the trade
keeping in view the estimated supply. Company's Congou
sold at Is 10id cash ; Is Ild short prompts ; common Free
Trade Congou Is 10Id to Is 10/d, and Twankay Is 10id par lb
cash. The deliveries of Tea have continued large, and during
the past week amounted to 554,000 lbs.
'to-day a good demand existed for Tea, and holders were
firm, Is 10id to Is 10id paid for common Free Trade Congou
cash, and Is 'Cid for Company's. Public sales will be shortly
declared.
Roar, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For West India Rum,
the market has been in a quiet state, both shippers and
the home trade operating with caution, but prices have
been maintained. lie sales have been 140 puns Demerara,
28 to 38 per cent. overproof at 3s 10d to 4s 2d. 130 Leeward
at 2s 2d for 6 per cent, overproof, and proof 2s; for
East India, however, the demand has been brisk, the sales have
been 350 hhds at Is 9d, subject to the low duty, anti 280 at
Is 4d, subject to the high duty. The present stock is about
2,200 puns less, but 4,300 hhds more. Our monthly statement
of stocks includes 1,678 puns ‘5,748 hhds East India, and
377 puns and 30 hhds Foreign. For Brandy we have to
report a dull market, and former rates have been barely sup-
ported ;—sales of Cognac, first brands of the vintage of
1836 have been made at 5s I for hhds, puns 5s 9d do
1837 hhds 5s 6d, puns 5s 4d; do 1838 Ihds 5s 4d, puns
2,1 ; do 1839 hhds 4s Ild, puns 4s 9d ; do 1840 Idols 4s Id,
puns 4s per gallon : the stock is large. Geneva has
moved off slowly, common at 2s, and fine 2s 6d to 2s Bd. Bri-
tish Corn Spirits dull, at 9s 9d to Os 10d, cash.
To-day Rum is in fair request. Proof Leewards 2s to 2s Oid;
Ca'cutta at low duty Is 9d to Is 10,1 proof.
RicE.—There has been a giiod demand for Java Rice, and
4,500 bags have been sold privately ; low to good white at Os
6,1 to 11s; and Yellow 8s 60 to 9s per cwt, being full
rates; for Bengal, however, the mar-et has been in a quiet
state, and rather lower rates have been submitted to; at auc-
tion 1,365 bags went at Ils to lis 6d for good middl ng
white; 10s 6d to II s is the value of middling white; Carolina
has been in good requeteby the home trade ; first sort at 365,
inferior :,9s to 34s ; Patna good to fine 18s to 2Ce, and cotnmon
15s to I7s per cwt. To-day Bengal met with more attention,
and 2.225 bags at public sale were all sold, mid at lOs 6d, and
good mid I Is to Its 6d per cwt, being full rates.
liEur.—'l he Mai ket being better supplied with East
prices have declined 24/ for Manilla, and 191 15s to 201 for
Jute; upon those terins, however, a fair business has been
transacted. In Russian sorts, however, little business has
been done; 361 to 36/ lOs is the value of Petersburgh, clean,
it is reported that Government have it in contemplation to ad-
vance the duty on Russian Hemp.
COFFEE.—West India, of middling and good clean quality,
has been much inquir d after, and
very to I rates have been
paid. The supply, however, is not ample; for the deinaLti
and fine ord sorts have been only in limited request, but the
rates previously established have been sustained. At auction
