SUOAR.—Although the arrivals of British Plantation
Sugar have been large during the past week, still mer-
chants hare manifested firmness and the trade have been
desirous to operate. To-day there was an excellent
demand for West India Muscovadoes Sugar from
the grocers ; the refiners were buyers to a fair ex-

parcel of St. Kitts was sold at 61s to 64s for ordinary to
good yellow ; the total purchases amount to 650 hhds
and tres. Since making up our weekly statement of im-
ports 16 vessels have arrived from the West Indies, with
2,270 hhds and 599 brls Sugar, the bulk of our season's
supply however has been received.
