THE MARKETS.

(From the New London Price Current of yesterday.)
Sucan.--The demand for Muscovades this week
has been very limited; and as usual in a heavy
market, purchases are made a shade lower, but no
general reduction in the prices can be stated. The
quantity of Mauritius Sugars lately pressed upon
the market by public sale appears to have an unfa-
vourable effect on the prices; this week about 5700
bags sold at a reduction of is. a Is. 6d. on all the
weekha do o been
not
again languid,
good qualities from 565. up to 625. ; the lower de-
scriptions were purchased freely for export and re-
lining, and could not be stated much lower; dry
browns, 545.

bags Bengal good white 365. a 375. 6cl. ; damp 341. a
355. In refined goods this week there is little alteration,
the scarcity of low goods is so great that prices a shade
higher have been realised; the quantity of fine
taken for home consumption continues very limited.
Molasses are 6d. lower. This forenoon the request
for low Lumps
for
export is general, and the prices
are again higher, scarcely any parcels could be pur-
chased ; fine goods are heavy, and are low in pro-
portion. Molasses 245. 6d. a 255. In Foreign Su-
gars no purchases are reported ; the stocks are quite
inconsiderable.

vate contract has been made a shade lower; 300
bags fair quality Ceylon Coffee Were withdrawn
from sale at 435. 6d. The Coffee sales this fore-
noon attracted much attention on account of the ex-
tent of the four sales of 2,293 bags foreign, the greater
proportion good quality Brazil, and two parcels St.
Domingo of an ordinary quality; there were also
some parcels of Jatnaica and Berbice Coffee; about
700 bags St. Domingo sold rather lower, chiefly
