COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has
been again heavy-this week, and very little business
has been done, but former prices have been obtained
for the small quantity sold, holders generally showing
rather more firmness ; 800 hhds, inclusive of 100
casks Barbadoes, brought to auction, only partly sold
at 61s to 68s 6d for low to fine quality. Molasses—
There is at present scarcely any inquiry. Mauritius
—Very little business has been done, the demand
being very limited.
BENGAL.—OnIy 1,151 bags and 34 casks have been
brought to auction, which mostly sold at 64s 6d to
69s 6d for mid to fine bright white, being about last
week's prices. The remainder were chiefly taken in
at 48s to 50s for good to fine brown, and good greyish
yellow at 575. Some parcels both of white and
brown (the latter consisting mostly of Khaur), have
changed hands privately, at corresponding rates.
FORRIGN.—There has been an improved demand
for nearly all descriptions (except white Havannah),
both for export and refining in bond, and for the par-
cels sold fully former prices have been obtained. The
principal transactions privately consist of 600 hhds
Porto Rico at 18s to 19s ; 300 chests brown Bahia
also at 18s to 19s, but both chiefly at 19s ; and about
500 bags mid (damp) brown Manilla at 17s 6d, all
for refining in bond ; likewise 4,000 bags yellow Ha-
vannah of average quality (but of old importation) at 21s
and 1,000 bags ord to good mid white Siam at 22s to
23s 6d for export. 299 boxes (mostly damaged)
Havannah were offered by auction, which were chiefly
sold at 18s 6d to 20s for low to fine soft yellow ; a few
boxes sound ditto at 20s 6d to 21s, and low soft to
good mid greyish white, at 22s 6d to 295, which are
extreme prices. Two lots sound white were taken in
at 325, being about the late nominal value.
REFINED.--A further improvement of f uly 6d
has again taken place in the value of crushed fine
quality being readily taken at 275, but is chiefly held
at 28s. In grocery sorts only a liniited business con-
tinues to be done at prices barely supporting those of
last week.

COFFEE.—There has been scarcely any inquiry, and
the public sales containing 170 casks 71 barrels British
Plantation, 405 bags Ceylon, 131 bags Bengal, and
89 packages Mocha went off very heavily, and were
nearly all taken in or withdrawn, excepting the
former, which partly sold at 88s 6cl to 97s for low to
good mid coloury Berbice, being about the pre-
vious value. Low middling coloury Ceylon was
taken in at 90s, and fine clean garbled Mocha at 100 s.
Privately no transactions have taken place worth
reporting. Foreign sorts continue much depressed,
there being at present no disposition shown to pur-
chase. A small parcel of fine ord coloury Rio has
been sold at 33s 6d, being the previous value. Only
486 bags St. Domingo, 37 bags Rio, and 110 bags
East India have been brought to auction, all of which
found buyers, but at a decline of 6d to is on the St.
Domingo, and rather lower prices for the East India.
Ord brown sold at 235, one lot 225, low good ord
mixed to very good ord St. Domingo at 30s to 325,
and fine ord coloury Rio at 34s to 35s 6d.
COCOA.—Of 163 bags Trinidad and 57 bags Para,
she former only partly sold, at 31s to 33s for mid grey
to gt;od red, and the latter were all taken in at 395.
RUM.--There has been scarcely any inquiry for this
article.
RlCE.—Only 1,002 bags Madras and 1,659 bags
Bengal have found buyers, the former at 10s, a few
lots 10s 6d for fair quality, and the latter at lis 6d
for bold mid white, and very small broken at 8s to 9s,
being about last week's prices. Privately there has
been scarcely any inquiry. 1,000 bags Madras have
been sold at 10s.

- _
SALTPETRE.—Rather lower rates have again been
accepted ; 438 bags have been sold in public sale at
23s for 243- per cent. refraction, and 24s for 131 per
cent. refraction. Privately few transactions have
taken place. Nitrai,e of Soda remains almost with-
out inquiry.
SPICES.—The public sale,: have offered 1,79.5 bags
(small) Pepper, 1,160 bags Pimento, and 253 chests
Cassia, nearly all of which found buyers, the former at
31d to 34d, one lot 3 d; for good to fine heavy shot
kind Malabar ; 23-d to 24d for mid to good mid
pimento ; and 65s to 78s for good ord to good Cassia,
being for the latter 3s to 5s lower, particularly for the
inferior soils ; about previous prices, for the Pimento,
and for the Pepper rather cheaper.
COTTON.—There bas been only a very limited bu-
siness done since our last in this article.
TEA.—The market coni!nues very flat, and snce
Tuesday, Congou, when forced w sale, has declined t,d,
and Twankay the same.
TA.LLOW.—Russian is without alteration.

(From the London New Price Current of December 23-)
SUGAR.—To the surprise of several parties, the market
for Raw Sugar continues in a dull state, notwithstanding
the large ennaamption going on and prices moderate in
comparison with tnose of former years ; this unsatisfac-
tory state of affairs can only be attributed to the report
that Government have it in contemplation to make some
alteration in the duty on Foreign Sugar in the en-
suing year.
To-day holder of West India Sugar refused further
to gave way in price, but the market was in a dull state,
finit the purchases fur the week are only 1,000 hhds and
tierces ; early in the new year, however, a better demand
for Sugar is CAlNietett to take place, as the trade are but
indifferently supplied.
REFINED.--Today the home trade operated with
much caution, and 728 6d to 73s is the value of Standard
lumps. Bonded Crushed Sugar is selling at 27s 6tl to
27s 9d and wanted. In other articles there is no variation.
Mauumns.—Holders of this k;:2d of Sugar show
firmness, and have refrained from offering any at auction,
the purchases made Lir private contract have been upon
a small scale only, but 'fornifx rates have been sustained
inmost cases. This afternoon
Here was no public sal,:
and privately few inquiries existeci, excepting for fine
yellow sorts, which are scarce and wanted.
EAST INDIA.—The good and fine white ,descriptions

This afternoon white Bengal Sugar was in much bet-
ter request, and 3,000 bags were sold privately at 66s to
70s per cwt.
F0RE1GN.....-The market has again assumed a lively
appearance for Foreign Sugar, and holders display much
firmness. Today several innairies existed for Foreign
Sugar, and 21s to 22s 6d paid for yellow Ilavannah.
The market closed with a, firm aspect. Siam was sought
after, and ‘;3s 6d paid for 600 bags common white.

TEA.—There is still a desire shown on the part of
holders of Tea to realise, and they have pressed large
parcels upon the market this week ; prices,have further
declined for both black and green Tea ; the trade still
I entertain an unfavograblo opinion towards the artier,

FRlllT.—Valencia Raisins have been less in reque: it

SPlCES.—lmporters of Cassia Lignea are st ill pressing
sales, and prices have suffered a decline of 2 s to 3s Per
cwt this week. Pimento has been in excellent request,
and former rates have been fully sustained.. Ginger
has sustained the former value, and the demand is steady.:
Nutmegs have sustained the former value, and good
sorts are in request, but common are dull of Sale. T°'
day there was some inquiry for Cassia Lignea. busedtg
prices offered were under those holders were disp _

seen their lowest.

NOVELTY IN BOOTS.
THE Improved NOISELESS and CREAKLESS
ACCELLEROKEDO, CLERICAL, SURGICAL,
I,nd LAW BOOTS and SHOES, patronised by his Royal
~`ligliness Prince Albert, and the Royal Family, and the Conti-
"ntal Courts, and worn by the Nobility and Gentry, are ge-
erally acknowledged to be superior to any others hitherto in-
troduced.
They are elaltic and comfortable : for tender feet they are a
P,,_erfeet luxury, and for waltzing they are invaluable ; the roughest
„.14"oment feels like a soft carpet, and a person may walk double
`" distance in those Boots than he can in any others ; they are
~4terproof, and a much tighter tit is insured ; they embrace
`tbe qualities of each of the five Patented Boots, whilst they in
'cry respect supersede the whole of them.
