PRICE OF SUGAR.
EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY.
LONDON, Nov. 26, 1842.

The following average prices of Brown or Musco-
does British Sugars, exclusive of duty, were pub-
lished in the Gazette of last night :

"West India 345. Mid. per cwt.
East India 3O 3+
Mauritius 35 11
The average price of the three kinds, taken
jointly, is 335. 104 d. per cwt.
The actual weights of sugar sold on account of the
importers, in tho week ending the 22d inst., accord-
ing to the returns made upon oath by the sugar bro-
kers, in compliance with the Act of Parliament, and
on which weights the above prices are computed, con-
sisted of 12,519 cwt. West India, 4,037 cwt. East
India, and 1,139 cwt. Mauritius.
About 1,400 cwt. of very dark unsound sugar have
been sold in the same week at from 18s. to 19s.
per cwt. ; these having been classed in the return as
East India unfairly depresses the average pric of
that kind of sugar, as well as the total average.
Generally speaking foreign sugars are ls. per cwt.
dearer this week than last ; but white sugar, equal in
quality to double refined, manufactured from foreign
raw sugar in bond in the British refineries, may be
bought to put free on board a British ship at 255. 6d. per
cwt. Foreign Muscovado sugars, equal to the average
quality of West India sugar, are to be had at 18s. 6d.
per cwt., the former being- 16s. 4d. per cwt. cheaper
than the latter. The total sales of British sugars for
the week in Mincing-lane were 17,695 cwt..; assuming
that the sales, added together, at the outports are to
the same extent as the weight sold in the London
market, the consumers bought 35,390 cwt. of sugar
at 335. 100. per cwt., amounting, in round numbers,
to 60,0001. sterling; they might have bought
35,390 cwt. of foreign sugar, equally good, at
18s. 6d. per cwt., amounting to 33,7351., ex-
hibiting a difference of 26,2651., being the excess
of price paid for British sugars, which, added to
210,300/., the same description of gain for the pre-
vious three weeks, as shown by The Sun of the 19th
instant, gives 236,565/., the value of the sugar mono-
poly, to the sugar producers, and the cost thereof to
the British public, for four consecutive weeks.
The Chinese squeeze amounts to twenty-one mil-
lions of dullars equivalent to 4,366,6661. un-
doubtedly a large sum of money to be paid in the
course of three years ; if the colonial monopolies
were abolished, the saving from the fangs of indirect
taxation imposed by them upon the co
the
United Kingdom, by
be to a similar amount in
one year.

FIRE IN OXFORD-STREET.—A fire broke out in the
urgeurgeworkshop of Messrs. Jackson and Graham, the
extensive upholsterers of Oxford-street, last night,
Which consumed the whole of the premises. The
workshops were situated at the back of Oxford-street,
and the firemen had considerable difficulty in reach-
ints the fire with effect. It is supposed to have
originated through the carelessness of some of the
