ther and contrary winds are now making their passage.
but, us their samples bad been previously forwarded and
sold, very little fresh English Wheat was offering ; still,
however, the demand for that article was in a very de-
pressed state, and Monday's quotations were with diffi-
culty supported. In Foreign Wheat only a limited busi-
ness was doing and the rates were stationary. Although
the supply of Barley was small the demand for that
article was very dull, and previous figures were not sup-
I ported. The demand for superfine Malt was steady, but
the middling and inferior parcels were a mere drug.
The increase in the supply of Oats produced a very.
heavy inquiry for that grain, in which scarcely any busi-
ness was doing. Other grain as on Monday.

Although our market was by no means heavily sup-
plied with Beasts, we have to report a very inactive de-
mand for that description of stock, and Monday's reduced
figures were with difficulty supported. There were on
sale eight beasts and fourteen sheep from Holland, and
200 horned and polled Scots from Scotland. The num-
bers of sheep were small, yet the mutton trade ruled
dull, at about stationary prices, at which a clearance was
effected. Prime small Calves sold steadily, but other
qualities met with a dull inquiry. In Pigs, rather more
business was passing, but nu improvement took place in
value. Mulch Cows sold slowly at from 161. to 191. each,
including their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP nus.aitzt.
As we have long since anticipated, our market has
become somewhat active for bags of last year's growth,
at rather more money, and this, too, notwithstanding
the liberal supply brought forward. Old Sussex and
Kent bags are likewise selling at extreme rates. For
pockets we have only a moderate demand ; still prices
are supported in every instance.

SUGAR.-Firmness has characterised the West India
Sugar market this week, the quantity on show ha,: bt•eo
small, and the quality of the principal part itiitferent.
To-day there was a good business transacted in West
India Muscovado Sugar, but merchants were, in sonic
instances, compelled to accept rati. s rather under thoer
previously quoted for brown and inferior yellow, but
mid, good, and fine kinds, supported the form. r currency.
520 were disposed of, making the tool purchases 6,r
the three market days 1,490 hhds and tierces.
REFINED.-There has been much activity in the mar-
ket for Refined Goods since we last wrote, the home
trade have been eager purchasers, and the Sugar houses
are, for the most part, cleared. The consumption
continues to be as large as evtr, and refined
is still much cheaper, in comparison with good
and fine yellow West India ; brown lumps have
been selling at 72s Gd io 735, standard lumps 74s to
74s 6d, Tittlers ord to mid 73s to 74s 6d, good 75s to
76s 6d, fine and very fine 77s to 83s, Hambro' loaves
74s to 12a, double 83s to 90s. and wet lumps 70s to 71s
per cwt. Bastards are plentiful ; fine selling at 48s to
545, good 43s to 475, mid 41s to 42e, and low
38s to 40s per cwt ; of the lower descriptions, the stock in
particular is a heavy one. For Treacle there has been
an immense demand ; boiled from West India Molasses
fetching 21s to 225, patent 22s 6d to 23s 6d, and Golden
Syrup 24s to 27s per cwt. In Bonded Crushed Sugar
a further advance has taken place in prices, 30s 6d to 31s
per cwt having been paid, indeed, in some cases, orders
have been refused. There has been a lively demand for
Loaves, higher prices have been given, and they rule as
follows :-Turkey, double refined 1 2} to 4lbs on
board British ship 38s to 425, Hamburgh 6lbs 355, 9 to
10 lbs 33s 6d to 345, 13 to 14 lbs 82s, Tittlers 20 to 301bs
31s to 31s 6d, and Prussian 40 to 45 lbs 41s per cwt.
Pieces are selling readily at 25s to 275, being higher.
Bastards are in good demand at 20s to 21s for yellow,
and 19s for brown. • For Treacle prices have risen from
12s 9d to 13s per cwt. The value of Dutch Crushed
Sugar is 28s to 29s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.-There has been a greater desire mani-
fested on the part of importers to realise, and a decline
in prices has taken place of 2s to 3s for good and fine
yellow, and Is to Is 6d for inferior, middling, and brown
and grey descriptions; the supply has consisted chiefly
of bright yellow qualities;. the demand, however, has been
good, and 5,355 bags at public sale were all disposed of-
fine yellow at 60s to 63s 6d, good 57s 6d to 59s 6d, good
mid 56s to 575, mid 54s to 55s 6d, low 52s 6d, low heavy
49s 6d, good brown 495, ord 425, fine grey 58s to 595,
good 56s to 575, low to mid 528 6d to 555; and washed
535 to 60s per owt. The quality of the Mauritius Sugar
is decidedly superior to that of the former season, and it
is now cheaper than West India or Bengal.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 2,451 bags, were submitted to pub
lic competition, and sold at full rates-good mid and
good yellow at 51s 6d to 595, mid 54s to 575, low 52s to
53s 6d, good damp brown 455, mid 42s to 42s 6d, low
39s 6d, damp yellow 55s 6d to 575, good sound white
665, and damp and washed 60s 6d to 64s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-Today there was .more inquiry for Fo-
reign Sugar, and 1,400 chests of yellow Havunnah were
sold privately at 2ls 6d to 23s for good to fine quality,
being full rates. The market generally has a brisker ap-
pearance.

COFFEE.—lmporters of West India have shown firm-
ness, and none has been brought to public sale, but by
private contract purchases to a fair extent have been
made, and full rates are given ; the supply of middling
and good descriptions is very small, but the stock of
ordinary and good ordinary is large ; the low rates that
prevail for, such 'cause merchants to supply the market
sparingly, as there is a good consumption going on, and
stocks in the dealers' hands are by no means large. For
public competition 300 casks, the chief part Berbice, are
declared ; the quality of this kind of Coffee is decidedly
inferior to that of previous seasons. Although there is
a large stock here of all sorts of Easr, India; still the
leading importers are not inclined to press sales, which
may be ascribed to the cheapness of all descriptions.
With Ceylon the market has been sparingly supplied.
and by private contract several purchases have been
made in Plantation kinds upon former terms, and this
is the cheapest kind of Coffee subject to the 4d per lb
duty ; for good ordinary a fair demand has existed
privately, and full rates are paid. Only 512 bags
have been offered at public sale, good ordinary pale
sold at 523 to 53s ; country damaged first class
51s, second ditto 50s 6d ' • pale broken 48s ; pea berry
tit9s to 69s 6d, and country damaged, first class 65s per
cwt. For public sale 1,500 bags nearly all plantation
kind are declared. Holders of Mocha are still reluctant
to reduce their prices. Company's Java is more in esti-'
'nation, and there are buyers by private contract of good
