( From the London .New Price Current of March 11.)
SUGAR.—To-day holders were firm, and obtained former
rates for West India Sugar, but the demand was limited, the
trade supplying their wants at the large public sale of Mauritius
Sugar. The purchases for the week are 650 hhds and trcs.
IiEIIINED.—The demand for Bonded Crushed Sugar has
been limi4rd this week at 28s 9d to '291 for first sort : the sup-
ply is short. Loaves are scarce and wanted : Gibs at 36s to
375, 101bs and 141bs 53s to 355. Treacle sells freely at 13s to
13s 3d. In Bastards and Pieces several sales have been made
at 16s to 24s per cwt. For Dutch Crushed Sugar there are yet
no buyers. . _

111.tilatTlus.—This afternoon the large quantity of 11,477
bags was offered at public sale. The trade were anxious to
operate, and the whole went off with spirit at an advance on
former rates of 6d for good and fine yellow, and Is for low,
mid and brown sorts—fine yellow sold at his to 695, good 65s
6d to 665, good mid 64s (id to 655, mid 63s 6d to 64s 6d, low
62s to 62s tid, good and fine brown 57s to 60s, mid 50s 6d to
545, low 43s to 44s per cwt.
EAST INntA.—The operations in Bengal since this day
month has been 40,000 bags, and in Manilla 6,000 bags.
The public sales of Java Sugar in Holland have gone off
briskly at good prices ; they ruled from 17 to 19 florins, being
much above the rates current in this market.

EAST INDIA.— A good demand has existed for white Bengal
by private contract, and prices have been steady, some parcels
of good to fine have been disposed of at 68. to 70s per cwt.
Brown sorts have been in steady request at previous rates. At
auction 2,515 bags 347 chests were principally sold, low white
at 62s to 645, middling and good middling 635 675, yellow 53s
to 625, good brown in chests 505 6,1 to 521 per cwt. The
stock:is 70,399 bags greater than in 1841 at this time. Since our
last account 14,000 bags have arrived. The deliveries have
again been much greater than last year. There has been an
increased inquiry for Manilla, and stiffer rates have been
offered, but the supply at market has proved insufficient for the
demand : the private sales have been 1,900 bags, principally
at lis for common yellow. There has been no public sale;
Java is wanted, but the supply is scanty, and rather higher
prices have been paid for small parcels. Siam is held firmly,
white has moved off slowly, but br Avn and yellow sorts have
been inquired for. The stock of foreign East India sorts is
21,299 bags larger than in 1841.
FoisLic sr.—Holders of all descriptions remain firm, in the
expectation that sonic change will be made in the duties ;
buyers have been more disposed to operate this week. The
demand has been good for yellow Havannah, and full rates
have been paid. at auction 1,310 boxes of old import have been
offered, but being subject to the auction they were taken in,
but all sold immediately after the sale; fine yellow at 21s to
21s lid, good 20s to 20s fid, mid 19s to 195 6d, washed IBs to
19s per cwt ; privately 203 titi to 21s 6d have been paid for
some small parcels of good and fine quality. White has met
with more attention, and prices have been steady : at public
sale 1,840 boxes were taken in, they being subject to the auc-
' tion duty ; the whole, however, has since been disposed of ;
good quality but soft grain at 275 to 27s 6d, good mid 26s to
275, mid 25s to 25s 6d, low 24. to 24s 6d, washed 22s 6d to
2!s per cwt. For brown and yellow Brazil many inquiries
have existed, the supply being satall, has tended to check
business; the private purchases have been confined to small
parcels at I6s to 18s for common and good brown, and 18s to
20s fur yellow ; of white some small parcels have been disposed
of at 20s to 22s for low and mid, and 231 to 24s lid fer good.
A floating cargo of Pernambuco has been disposed of foi
Trieste, white at 24s and brown 17s 6rl per cwt. For auction
on the 17th 284 hhds Porto Rice are declared. The stock has
further diminished.
Motasses.—The demand has been good for West India,
but no advance can be quoted in prices ; the purchases have
been 250 puns this week. St. Kitt's good quality at 25s to
265, St. Vincent's common 23s 6d to 245, and very ord 22s per
cwt. Of Bengal Molasses 16 hhds were sold at public sale at
20s tid per cwt. Of Foreign Molasses some parcels have been
sold at 7s to 7s 6d per cwt. The stock of all sorts has di-
minished considerably of late. Honey is still wanted, fine sorts
in particular, the supply of which is scanty;; 40s to 70s is the
value of low to fine.
BUM, BRANDT, AND HOLLANDS.—In Jamaica Rum the
operations have been upon a small scale this week. The pur-
chases made in Brandy have been extensive this week, princi-
pally on speculation, founded on the faith that a commercial
treaty will be made between this country and France of a
more liberal nature. The prices paid have been again rather
higher for new sorts; other kinds have brought full
rates .—Cognac, first brands of the vintage of 1836 at 5s 1 Id for
Mitts, and 5s 9d fur puns ; do. 1837, hhds hs 7d, puns 5s 5d ;
do. 1638, Idols 5s 3d, puns 5s id ; do. 1839, hhds 4s 10d, puns
4s 8 I ; do. 1840, hhds 4s 4d, puns 4s 2d ; for arrival 4s Id to
-is 3sl have been paid for large I areels, and u 1 on which terms
some parties are not disposed to sell. Geneva has moved off
stivily,', common at Is 114 to 2s, and fine 2s 6d to 2s Bd. Bri-
tish Corn Spirits sell slowly at 9s 9d cash ; the declining prices
for Grain cause the trade to operate with caution.
Tea.—The advices received from China on Tuesday pro-
duced some life in the Tea market, and on that day a fair
amount of business was transacted at an advance of 14d per lb.
Sales of Company's Congou were made at Is 1 lid
to 2s cash, and at 2s 01‘,1 to 2s 0d short prompts ;
common free trade fetched is 11d, good common Is Hid to
Is 111/(1, and ordinary Twankay Is 10Id to Is lid cash.
During the last two days, however, the market has been in a
quiet state, and the advance has not been sustained. The
large parcels declared for sale, viz, 12,000 packages fer Tues.
day, 24,000 for Friday, and 3,!;00 for the 22d, causing the
trade to operate with caution, prices have declined to Is I lid
fur Company's Congou, cash, and is 10 d to is Ild fer com.
free tratte. The deliveries of Tea, however, continue good.
The private letters from China state that several vessels
had sailed with Tea
.for this conntry. Prices for Tea
still ruled high, in conseqnence of the large demand, and are
quoted as follows :—Congou, common 26 tads, blackish leaf
common to good 28 to 29. ditto strong 30 to 31, ditto mixed
Pekoe flavour 34, Twankay common 24, fine 28s to 30, Bohea
'2l taels ; the supply, however, is stated to be large, but the
quality is much inferior to that of last season, which is to be
attributed to the hasty manner in which the Tea has been
got up.
Corms.—This afternoon the market for both East and
West India Coffee presented a firm appearance : a fair business
was transacted privately at firm rates at auction 320 bags
Ceylon went briskly at a further advance of 6d per cwt ; good
ord pale greenish went at 73s per cwt. By private treaty
some large parcels of Company's Java have been disposed of a
56s 6d to 57s for good quality. The Coffee market closed firmt

„ . .
COCOA.—British Plantation has met with more attention
and the whole of the harcels offered at auction has found pur-
chasers at steady rates. 185 brls St. Lucia went at 34s 6d to
35s 6d for fair red, 278 bags Trinidad at 44s to 44s 6d for good
red, 40s to 41.. s 6d for mid to good mid, and 38s 6d to 39s for
low quality. Foreign in small parcels has been disposed of at
32: to 33s per cwt. The stock of all sorts of Cocoa is di-
minishing.
Rice.—The stock of Rice is still heavy. Patna Rice has
been taken sparingly this week, good and fine at 18s to 225,
low to middling 15s to 17s. Carolina has been less in request.
We quote first sort 365, second ditto 345, and inferior 2As to
30s per cwt. The operations in East India Rice, during tlie
past month, have been
.24,000 bags, 16,000 of which consisted
of Bengal.
PitovistoNs.—The operations in Beef and Pork have been
upon a very small scale; holders are still desirous to sell, and
have submitted to a further decline of 2e Gd to 3s for all sorts.
There has been a lively demand for Irish Butter since our last
report, and fine qualities have commanded an advance of Is to
2s per cwt • inferior sorts have fully sustained the previous
value. Carlow landed has been selling at 76s to 945, Cork
803 to 88s, Limerick 721 to 765, Waterford 70e to 80s, Sligo
and Dublin 66s to 70s per cwt. The stock continues to dimi-
nish rapidly. High rates prevail for Dutch Butter, and the
trade have operated freely; 118 s to 120 s is the value of fine
Friezland. 1 he difference in price between Irish and Foreign
of first quality is 20s to 30s per cwt, therefore a further rise is
expected to take place for the former. Bacon has been in good
demand, landed, but lower rates have been again accepted, prime
Meat selling at 49s to 505, and heavy at 46s to 48s per cwt.
On board sales have been made at 48s to 49s for prime sizeable
Waterford. Bale and Tierce Middles have moved off slowly
at. 46s to 48s landed, and 44s to 43s on board, being again
cheaper. I'rices have declined for Lard, and the demand has
been dull ; prime bladdered 64s to 66s per cwt. Hams have
been little sought after.
TALLOW.— [his afternoon the demand Wa3 limited for yel-
low Candle, but prices are unaltered ; at auction 461 pipes 123
Idols 58 brls 226 serons South America went at 44s 9d to
46s for fine, 43s 6d to 44s Gd for good, 42s to 43s fur mid, and
39s 3d to 4ls 61 for low quality.
011.5. Importers of Southern Oil having submitted to a re-
duction on previous rates of lOs per tun, has led to a good de-
mand,:and 249 tuns at public sale in good ships' casks were prin-
cipally disposed of ;
fine quality at 33/ 155 to 34/ 10s, good
32/ lOs to 331 101, ord and mid 311 Se to 32155, very inferior
dark 27/5s to 281 5s per tun; the home trade were the princi-
pal buyers. Pale Seal has been little inquired after, but the
supply being scanty, holders have been enabled to get 39/ lOs
to 39s 153 for small parcels of first quality. For other kinds of
common Fish Oils the market has been in a dull state, and
prices have declined lOs to 15s per tun : at auction GO tuns
Iwent as follows:—Straw Seal at 33/ 15s; Newfoundland Whale
30/ 15s ; Newfoundland Cod 271 lOs to 27/15s ; Dog Oil 28/ ;

Cod Feots 161; Blubber 91; pumpings of Southern 16/
per tun.
