COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—The demand for British Plantation is con-
fined to the immediate wants of the trade, and former
prices have been with difficulty obtainable, but no gene-
ral reduction can be quoted. The transactions only
amount to about 900 hhds, inclusive of 100 hhds Bar-
badoes, which sold briskly by auction at 60s to 68s 6d
for low to fine quality, being for the finer sorts fully
6d to Is dearer. Molasses—About 250 puns ord to
good St. Vincent's sold at 24s to 28s. Mauritius—
There is scarcely any inquiry. Bengal-3,203
bags, nearly all sold, but went off heavily,
and in some instances at a decline of Is, more
particularly on the lower sorts ; low to good white
brought 62s 6d to 67s 6d, a few bags fine 69s 6d, and
mid to fine yellow 57s 6d to 625. Foreign—The de-
mand has extended now to nearly all descriptions,
but the transactions have been less than last week,
chiefly attributable to the few parcels offering, and
the high prices asked ; 2,000 boxes yellow llavannah
sold (on the spot) at 19s to 22s for low to fine quality,
100 chests mid to fine white Bahia and Pernambuco
at 23s 6d to 25s 6d, and 600 bags mid brown Manilla
at 16s, all of which are extreme rates. Refined—
There is no improvement to notice either in the de-
mand or value of grocery descriptions ; for Crashed
holders ask a considerable advance (say 28s for fine
quality) on the previous value, and scarcely anything
has been done-26s have, however, been paid.
COFFEE.—There is no improvement to notice in the
demand for home consumption. The public sales
have only offered 93 casks, 45 barrels and bags, Bri-
tish Plantation; and 3,209 bags East India, consisting
of about one-third Dutch Company's Java, and the
remainder chiefly Singapore ditto ; the former only
partly sold at about previous rates, but being mostly
in small lots, affords no criterion of the market. Of
the Dutch Company's Java, only about 300 bags
found buyers at 45s to 50s for good ord yellowish to
fine brown, good ord pale was taken in at 43s 6d to
445, which are rather lower; nearly all the remainder
was disposed of at 33s to 39s for good to fine ord,
and fine dark coloury dingy at 46s 6d to 565 6d, with
a few hags at 60s to 61s Gd, being generally rather
higher. Good ord brown Sumatra and ord grey Ba-
tavia were taken in above the value, the former at
27s Gd, and the latter at 29s 6d to 30s. There has
been rather more inquiry for mid and lower sorts of
East India (for export) but there being at present
very few parcels offering, and holders asking
higher prices, few transactions have taken place; fine
Padang has been sold at '3os, which is a shade dearer.
Foreign descriptions have also been in rather better
demand, and 397 bags Domingo sold briskly in public
sale at 31s 6d to 32s 6d (with 1 per cent. discount)
for good ord mixed to good ord even coloury, which is
an advance of fully 6d. Privately very little has been
done, owing chiefly to the want of parcels offering.
COCOA.—Forty barrels St. Lucia brought to auction
sold at 32s for mid red.

Rum.—Two hundred puns Jamaica have been sold
at 2s 9d to 3s 10d for mid to good quality ; and fine
ditto at 4s to 4s 6d.

RICE.-2,278 bags Java found buyers, and went
off briskly at lOs 6d to lls for mid white, being an
advance of 3d to 6d. A fair business has been done
privately in Bengal, at rather high rates.
SALTPETRE remains neglected, 1,021 bags offered,
only about two-thirds sold at 25s 6d to 26s for
per cent. refraction, a decline of 6d. to Is. For Ni-
trate of Soda former rates are with difficulty. obtainable.
SPICES.—The speculative demand for Pepper has
almost entirely subsided, although purchases could
be made at a decline of fully id to id. 3,519 small
bags Malabar, and 2,127 bags Sumatra were offered,
the former found buyers at 3id to 38dfor good
light to fine heavy (shot kind). The Sumatra was
all taken in at 3d to 3id for ordinary to good black.
Of 584 bags Pimento, only one-half found buyers at
2id for middling quality. In Cassia there is no
change to mention.
CorroN.—The improved demand, noticed in our
last, continued until yesterday, when there was rather
less disposition evinced to purchase.
TEA.—The public sales have gone rather lower.
They will conclude to-day, very little havingbeen sold.
TOBACCO has been very brisk.
