refused to submit to any further decline, and prices re-
main as last quoted. To-day importers of West India

those of Friday.
This afternoon the biddings were brisk ; at a public
sale of 131 hhds Barbadoes Sugar, the whole found pur-
chasers, and at full rates—fine yellow fetched 67s 6d

per cwt.

ance for Refined Goods, and prices have further declined.
To-day the Grocers purchased Refined Sugar sparingly,
and prices are still on the decline, standard lumps
74s 6d to 755, and brown grocery 72s to 73s per cwt.
Pieces and Bastards were little asked for, but trade met
with a good sale at 23s 6d to 30s 6d. Bonded Crushed
Sugar sells freely at former rates.

This afternoon buyers came forward with more alacrity,
and 5,238 bags at public sale were all disposed of at full
rates,—fine yellow fetched 65s to 65s 6d, good mid to

for Bengal Sugar ; 344 bags in bond and 869 bags duty
paid were offered at auction and all sold at full rates, low
to good white duty paid wenti, at 61s to 665, mid yellow
60s to 63s ; in bond they went at 35s to 40s for mid and
good mid white, and damp brown 27s to 335.
FOREIGN.—Holders of all descriptions are firm, and
supply the market sparingly.
To-day there was no public sale, and little business
was done by private treaty in either Brazil cr Havannah,
but holder remain firm and very few parcels are on the
market ; 1,200 boxes Havannah are declared for auction.

to 295. Bengal Syrup at 24s to 25s 6d, and Foreign

reign is firm in price.
TEA.—The market has been in a dull state since our
last report, and the transactions in both black and green
descriptions have been upon a very small scale, but
holders generally are unwilling to further give way
in price.
To-day the business transacted in the Tea market was
extremely limited, the attention of the trade being di-
rected to the large public sales declared, and prices are
looking downward ; sound common Congou cash cannot
be quoted above Is 7d per lb. The cause of the heavi-
ness in tha market is to be attributed to the large Fr-
eels that have and are still to be brought to public sale,
indeed the quantity is much larger than the wants of the
trade.

91s 6d for middling, and ordinary quality 85. Prices

and holders were less inclined to sell ; Jamaica of fine
and favourite marks fetched 3s 10d to 4s 3d, very fine
high flavoured 5s 3d; proof Leewards sold at Is 83d to
Is 9d ; East India more inquired for at former rates ;
the market for rum altogether is looking more healthy.

an advance on former rates of 20s for Southern, and lOs
for all other descriptions, the demand having
.been good
