MARKET IN TELL GEN CE.

( From the London New Price Current of June 28.)
SUGAR.-There having been several arrivals of British
Plantation Sugar, have caused the ',trade to come forward lefr.s
freely, and since our last report Ortre has been only a limited
demand for either grocery or refining purposes ; importers have
not been so firm, and the prices accepted on Friday were
generally 6d. per cwt. lower.
...To-day the market for West India Muscovadoes Sugar was
in a tranquil state, the large arrivals causing the trade to
come forward with caution, and for either brown, yellow, or
grey descriptions, the demand was limited, and those parties
that were disposed to sell were compelled. to submit to a reduc-
tion on Friday's rates a6d per cwt. The private purchases
amounted to only 300 hhds and trus, and the market closed
heavily ; br own West India we quote 58s to 61s 6d, mid yellow
62s to 645, good and fine 64s 6d to 68s per cwt.
At a public sale of 147 hhds new Barbadoes to-day, the

cases 1s; the whole however was disposed of, fine yellow at
67s to 67s 6d, good 65s to 663, good mid 64s to 64s 6d, mid 63s
64 to 645, and low 61s 64 per cwt.

in the Refined Sugar market, still a fair business has been
transacted for home consumption.

fined goods, and prices declined-standard lumps at 82s, and
brown groeery lumps lis to tits 64 per cwt. Treacle dull of
