COLONXAL.
SI/GAR. —The market for British Plantation is very firm ;
about 400 hbds. have been sold at fully previous rates. The
public sales have consisted chiefly of 6,401 bags Mauritius ;
600 bags Bengal ; 2,797 baskets Java (subject to 23s 4d
duty). All the Mauritius and Bengal found buyers, the
former at 38s 6d to 45s 6d for low to good brown, and low
to fine yellow at 46s to 55s per cwt, being in most in-
stances 2s to 3s above the prices obtained on the
25th ultimo, but chiefly upon the low and mid sorts;
the Bengal sold at 59s 6d to 64s 6d for very fine grainy
yellow and white, and 46s to 50s for low to good yellow,
which are high rates. Nearly all the Java was disposed of
(partly for refining here, and partly for export), at 50s 6d to
56s 6d for low to fine greyish, yellow and low white being
comparatively cheap.
SAWrPETRE. —450 bags Bengal sold at 24s to 24s 6d
for 12 to 9* per cent. refraction, which is the previous value.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 40s 9d to 41s per cwt on the spot,
and Town 43s 6d.

TEA. —The market is quiet and the deliveries are not
quite so large as they were.

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 19.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a good demand for West
India Sugar from grocers and refiners, and very full
rates paid for every sort, but holders could not obtain
any general advance. The show is small for the period
of the year, and stocks at the outports are yet
light. At public sale 125 hhds of Barbadoes Sugar
fetched very full rates—that is to say, fine yellow at 545,
good 52s to 535, middling 50s 6d to 51s Gil. and low 48s
495. 191 hhds of Trinidad were since taken in at 50s
for mid greyish, being above the value; full market rates
offered. o,red. Since the sale the Triniad Sugar has been
soli rather under the buying-in price. The total quan-
tity of Sugar sold to-day amounted to 600 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day the home trade were less inclined
to purchase Refined goods, and prices not so firm, brown
grocery lumps selling at 66s 6d to 675, and standard
lumps at 68s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is firm
at 43s per cwt for first sort ; but there is yet little to
be had.
MAURITIUS.—AII descriptions have met with eager
purchasers, and the market has been nearly cleared at
further advanced rates. 6,401 bags at auction
went with animation, establishing a rise on the
prices of the last public sale of 2s to 4s on yellow,
and 3s to 5s per cwt on brown Sugar • fine yellow
sold at 55s to 57s 6d, good 52s to 545, goodmiddling 51s
to 51s 6d, middling 49s to 50s 6d, low 47s to 48s 6d,
fine brown 45s to 465, good 43s to 44s 6d, middling 41s
to 425, low 39s to 39s 6d, very low dark 38s to 38s 61,
low to good grey 45s to 50s, syruppy 38s to 52s 6d, and
washed 37s 6d to 57s per cwt. Privately many parcels,
chiefly in second hands, have been disposed of. The
stock is still on the decrease, sett is nearly reduced to
the level of last year.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal sugar was in
excellent request, and 2,434 bags at auction were sold
at very full market rates: that is to say, low yellow date
kind at 47s to 50s 6d, middling 525, damp and washed
45s 6d to 495, middling sound grey ish Ms 6d; Dobah

to 555, low 52s 6d to 535, damp and washed 52s to 60s
per cwt.

FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar was purchased with
more freedom, in consequence of the favourable accounts
received from Holland. By private treaty, 1,200 boxes
of good white Havannah sold at 41s, and 100 chests of
old white Bahia at 32s per cwt, being rather above former
rates. A floating cargo of brown Pernambuco has been
sold, but the price did not transpire.
RICE.—To-day all descriptions of Rice were purchased
with caution, and prices are not so firm; 14s to 18s per
cwt is the value of Bengal, according to quality ; some
holders are inclined to take advantage of the present high
rates, but the trade for the most part are supplied for the
present.

COFFEE.-To-day Foreign and Foreign East India
Coffee were in excellent request privately ; l,OOO bags
of low good ordinary St. Domingo were sold at 335, and
500 bags fair ordinary Padang at 28s. For native
Ceylon there was much inquiry, but a further advance
being asked checked business, and a part only of
the quantity offered at public sale was sold, at a,
rise on market rates of 6d to ls, making the ad-
vance since the last auction of 2s to 3s per cwt,
good ordinary pale fetching 48s to 48s 6d, fine ordinary

competition. Congou has been in good demand, and
fetched full rates ; common sound selling at 94 to 94d,
good common 9Ad to 10d, but mid and mid
lid to is 3d; good is 44 to is Bd, fine and
Pekoe kind is 9d to 2s 4d. Ic Pouchong several
transactions have taken place at 5d to 10d, and holders
of this class of Tea show firmness. Twankay has been
in much better request, but at present no advance
can be quoted in prides. In Young Hyson large pur-
chases have been made at Is 6d to 2s. In Hyson a
fair amount of business has been done upon former
terms, that is to say-common at 2s 3d to 2s 44,
fair to good 2s 5d to 2s 9d, fine and superior 2s 10d
to 3s 64. For Gunpowder prices do, not improve, but at
late rates several purchases have been made. For good
and fine Scented Orange Pekoe 2s 1 1 d to 3s 2d per lb is
asked, but it is not much in demand at present. The
lowest, sort of Black and Green Tea is in demand for
exportation.

Grenada fetched 44s to 44s 6d for fair red, and low 42s
per cwt.

nearly cleared at stiffer rates ; the sales amount to 1,000
casks at Is 9d to is 9id per gallon proof with certificate.

amount to 120 puns at 2s 10d fur 34 per cent over

Island has fetched higher prices. For Brandy the de-
mand has been lively for all purposes on account of the
unfavourable accounts received relative to the vintage ;

is estimated at 15,000 L, and for the kingdom at 175,0001.

fair demand exists. The arrivals were 4,321 bales to
this port during the past week, 3,691 bales of which con-
sisted of Colonial. The advices from the manufacturing
parts of the country, and from abroad, are still very
satisfactory for Wool. _ _
