(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
Stress.—The Sugar Market was in a very depressed
state last week ; only the coloury and fine qualities sold at
former prices ; the middling descriptions were 6d. to Is.

800 hhds. and trs. ; the prices unvai ied. The Itefintxl

were offered at a reduction of Is. a Is. 6d., which induced
some buyers to come forward. The market afterward„
became dull at the decline. Molasses declined 6d. To-
day there appears a complete stagnation in the demand for
Refined Sugars ; no transactions of any extent are reported.
