LONDON MARKE.TS.

(Nero the London New Prime Current of Tuesday).
SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades last week
was general and extensive; the purchases were esti-
mated to exceed 5,000 hhds.; the holders met the
demand freely, and sold the Sugars immediately on
the samples being exposed, but the request was so
general arid urgent, that at the close of the week, the
prices might be stated at an advance of Is. per cwt.;
the improvement was obtained more by the eager-
ness of the buyers than by the demand of the im-
porters : the latter sell freely and appear satisfied
with the present currency. The Sugars which rate
highest in this Market are the strong brown qualities
and low grocery, the fine about 695. and 705., are
very low in proportion. The stock of Sugars is now
6,400 casks less than last wear. It will be observed
that the late easterly winds have prevented the ex-
pected arrivals; it should also be mentioned that for
some time past, the weekly deliveries have been con-
siderably less than last year ; we do not think it is
the consumption affected by the late advance, but
rather that the Refiners work with less Stock than
usual, and also that country Grocers purchase on a
more limited scale than what they would have done,
had the prices remained low. At the conclusion of
the Market this afternoon, the estimated sales to-day
were only 800 casks at fully the former prices ; low
brown Jamaica 655. 6d.; low brown Berbice 655.
The Barbadoes sale to-day 120 casks, sold rather
below the currency of the Market. The great pro-
portion of the low goods at Market were disposed
of early last week, at gradually advancing prices,
and on Saturday an unusual briskness commenced.
All the low Lumps at Market were sold at 86s. a
86s. 6d., which was about 2s. higher than at the
commencement of the week. The fine goods were
not in such request, but the dales were considerable,
the prices of the latter Is. a 2s. higher. Molasses
advanced to 28s. At a late hour this afternoon there
was no alteration in the Refined Market. The ac-
counts from Hamburgh, though favourable, had
little or no effect on prices. Lumps 865., small 87s.
a 88s., according to quality ; in fine goods few pur-
chases. Molasses 28s. The sales of Foreign Sugars
since last week are a parcel of fine yellow Havannah
at 405., middling and low,white at former prices.
In East India Sugars there has been much brisk-
ness; about 500 bags of the late India House sale
realised an advance of Is. 6d. per cwt. yesterday, and
2s. is now demanded.

MOLASSES (West India)—The stock here is
1,481 casks, the deliveries for consumption last week
were 231. The sales are a parcel of St. Lucia at

305., another 3 I s.
COFFEE.—The quantity of Coffee offered at public
sale last week was extensive, but the great propor-
tion was taken in ; the chief purchases were good
ordinary Havannah 445. a 455., a small lot fine fine
ord. 505.; good aid. yellow Java 425. 6d. ; for Su-
matra only 395. offered ; good ord. Brazil sold 425.
a 435.; good ord. St. Domingo 435., and fine ord.
455. Generally the market was languid, but not
lower, except for the low British Plantation Coffee,
which continues pressed upon the market in large
quantities, and as the demand is limited where
holders are determined to force sales, lower prices
have been submitted to. By public sale this fore-
noon 313 casks, 155 bags British Plantation, chiefly
Demerara and Jamaica descriptions ; a considerable
proportion of the latter, fine fine ord. to middling
sold; good mid. 85s. a 85s. 6d., mid. '73s. low mid.
635. ; mid. Demerara 735. a 745. low mid. 655. a 68s.
The Coffee Market is little varied, but it appears
rather more firm this afternoon.
Rum, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The steady and
rather considerable demand for Rum, which we have
lately noticed, continued till Saturday, when the re-
