SUGAR.—The Market for West 'lndia Muscovadoes
Sugar has presented a healthy appearance all the week.
For yellow descriptions the demand has been extensive,
and the market each day has been nearly cleared ; in-
deed, the supply has not been ample for the wants of the
Grocers, antithe prices paid have been ad per cwt above
those of Friday last.
To-day yellow and strong grey qualities of British
Plantation Sugar met with ready purchasers at higher
rates, making the advance for the week 6d to is per cwt.
The demand for brown sorts increases, but on account of
the large supply no general rise can be quoted in prices.
The total sales for the week are 2,800 hhds and trcs.
The market closed very firmly ; some merchants have
altogether withdrawn their Sugar from the market.

REFINED.--There has been an excellent demand for
Refined Sugar for home consumption this week, and a
further advance has taken place in prices ; the market
has decidedly assumed a healthy appearance, and the
stocks are not large.
To-day the Grocers purchased freely of Refined
Goods, paying 76s 6d for standard, and 73s 6d to 74s
6d for. brown grocery lumps, at which the market closed
firmly ; the supply of the better descriptions is getting
moderate. In other articles there is no variation.

MAURITIUS.—The demand has been active for yellow
descriptions, and all the parcels offered privately have
been cleared off the market at fully former rates, but for
brown sorts, of which the supply has principallfcon-
sisted, prices have declined 6d per cwt. This afternoon
there was no public sale ; privately yellow sorts were
sought after, and commanded prices 6d per cwt above
those of Friday last, the supply being small ; 64s to 67s
Gd paid fur good and fine ; other kinds are held firmly :
no auction is declared.

EAST INDlA.—Although importers of Bengal have
supplied the market, largely this week, yet former prices
hare been sustained, and the demand has been brisk,
excepting for brown sorts, which are 6d to is lower,
with few buyers. Prices are firm for Java. Manilla at
15s to 17s for low to fine brown, and good and fine yel-
low 17s to 17s 6d per cwt. Siam at 22s to 22s 6d for
mid, at 21s 6d for common white, and washed 203
per cwt. This afternoon good and fine white Bengal
Sugar commanded a fair sale at full rates : none was
offered at auction.

FOREIGN —The market for all descriptions of Foreign
Sugar wears a firm appearance. To-day there were
purchases of Brazil, but stiffer rates asked, which
checked business ; 520 chests brown Bahia, and 55
chests white Pernams were offered at auction, and all
taken in above the value ; the former, fine at 18s to
18s 6d, good and mid 15s 6d to 17s 6d, damaged 14s 6d
to 16s ; the latter at 24s for good mid, and 19s 6d tc. 21s
for low ; since the sale, however, a part has been sold at
those rates.

lioLassEs.—The transactions in West India have
been upon a small scale this week, but holders have re-
fused to submit to lower rates.

To-day a better demand existed, and sales of fine Do-
minica were made at 29s per cwt.
COFFEE.—Holders of British Plantation have shown
firmness this week, and have refrained from offering any
at auction; mid clean descriptions have been sought
after, and stiffer rates offered, but the scanty supply has
operated against business ; common and fine ord sorts
have been little asked for, the trade in lieu thereof taking
Ceylon, which is still to be obtained upon more advan-
tageous terms.

To-day the market was firm for all descriptions of
Coffee ; none was offered at auction ; but privately
Ceylon was in good request at 65s 6d to 66s for
good ordinary. Mocha sells more freely ; middling 75s
to 78s. per cwt. For common East India kinds some
inquiry existed, but holders are not disposed to sell at
late low rates. For auction 500 bags Brazil, 650 bags
Java, and 750 bags Manilla are declared fbr Tuesday ;
650 bats Plantation Ceylon for Wednesday ; 100 casks
West India and 150 bags Ceylon for Thursday.
COCOA.—For West India a fair business has been
trarsacted privately this week. Foreign has brougLt
full prices.

TL.—The market for all descriptions of Tea was in
a dull state in the early part of the week, and rather
lower rates were again accepted. The auctions con-
cluded on Tuesday, showing a decline on the prices
of the last public sales of ld for Congou, id to
id for Twankay,-, 3d to 4d for Pouchong, id to
2d for Hyson, 2d to 3d per lb for common Gun-
powder and Inapgrial, and for other sorts the rates taken
were in favour of buyers ; the biddings were dull
throughout the sales, and of 44,500 packages actually
offered only 17,600 were really disposed oE
Since the conclusion of the public sales the Tea market
has presented a more lively appearance, both black and
green descriptions have been sought after, and several
large parcels have been disposed of at full rates ; is 7d
to is 7,-id paid for corn sound Congou, cash, and is 7;id to
Is 8d fur Twankay. Holders show more firmness, and the
trade entertain a more favourable opinion for the articl.
Deliveries of Tea are large, and reached 500,0001bs last
week. Prices are moderate in comparison with those of
the last few years.
To-day the demand was steady for Tea, and prices
were firm ; common and good common sound Congou
Is 7d to is 74rd cash.
RlCE.—There lias been only a limited demand for
Bengal this week, and holders have been more disposed
to sell ; good white at 12s, and mid at lls to 118 6d per
cwt. Java lls to 12s 6d for mid to line, and lOs Gd to
lOs 2d for low White. Patna at 16s to 21s. and Carolina
30s for first, 28s for second, and 26s for third sort.

SPICES.—Bieck Pepper has been less in request :his
week, but holders are firm, and former rates have been
sustained ; Pimento has been in good request at the for-
mer currency. West India Ginger has brought full
rats. Cassia Lignea is wanted at the advanced rates of
last week, but the supply is small. Cloves at 2s
