SUGAR.—The Market for West India Sugar has been in a
quiet state since our last report; grocers as well as refiners have
operated with much caution. Bengal and Mauritius Sugar
have submitted to a reduction on former rates of fid to Is

per cwt. •
To-day the trade evinced little desire to operate in West
India Muscovadoes Sugar, and the market presented a dull
appearance; the purchases amounted to only i 0 hhds and trs,
but the merehants were enabled to obtain Friday's rates.
REFINED.—Since this day week a fair demand has existed
for Relined Sugar for home use, and prices have been steady.
To-day it met with a slow sale, arid easier lates accepted.
Sales of standard lumps were made at 60s 6d to 81s. in Bas-
tards large sales have been made at 43s to 60s, for common to
fine. Pieces moved off stadily at the rates quoted above.
Treacle firm and wanted at 27s to 325. Bonded crushed
Sugar in fair request at 29s for the best.
MAU Rai Us. —1 he demand has been limited for this de-
scription; good and fine yellow sorts have declined in value
6d to Is per cwt, but common and brown qualities have brought
steady rates ; at auction 9,166 bags 46 casks went off quietly,
the'whole however found purchasers at and after the sales, viz.
tine yellow at 67s to' 69s 6d, good 654 to 66s 6d, mid
63s to 64s 6d, low 61s to 624, fire brown 603 to
6ls 6d, good middling and good 57s 6d to 583 6d, mid
to good grey 62s to 64s 6d per cwt; the supply has con-
sisted chiefly of bright strong yellow sorts. The deliveries have
again exceeded those of last sear. There have been some ar-
rivals. This afternoon there was a better demand, and 4,555
bags at public sale were all sold at full rates—fine yellow at 68s,
good 65s 6d to 665, mid 64s to 655, low mid 63s to 63s 6d, fine
brown 61s 6d to 625, good 58s 6d per cwt. Pour vessels are
near at band.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the trade operated freely in
Bengal Sugar, and at public sale 5,250 bags were all sold at
full rates; the lowest sort of brown, however, went rather
cheaper, good strung bright yellow (Dobah) 66s 6d to 675,
mid 63s to 63s 6d, very low damp brown 39s to 40a, mid to
good 45s to 49s Gil. Of Java 200 tons brown have been die-

•MoLassEs.—ln West India a fair business has been trans-
acted but at rather lower r..tes : the purchases have been 300
puns at 24s to 27s for Demerara, St. Kitt's St. Vincent's and
Tortola of common and good. Foreign dolasses are in fair
request gBs to tss 6d per cwt. Honey has met with less attention.
COFFEE.—The stock of West India Coffee being small,
holders general y have beeen enabled to obtain fu.l rates.
For Ceylon the demand Las been limited by private treaty, and
at public sale 902 bags went 6d to is under former rates ; low
good ord sold at 75s 6d, good ord pale 76s to 775, fine ord
rebury7Bs to 795, fine Ord 834. mid B. P. sort 10is td to
105 s lid. Triage 27s per cwt. Java has met with
few purchasers, and at aaetion 3,853 bags, via Cape,
were all taken in 28 under former prices, viz., good ord at 475,
low good ord 45s ; there were some buyers of the best at 455.
Company's have been taken sparingly, at 55s to 56s for good
quality. Mocha is not offered at any further decline. In
other sorts of Coffee the transactions have been extremely
limited by private treaty.
This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind of
Coffee, and by private treaty few purchases were made ;
holders, are, how ever, firm, and have refrained from pressing
sales ; some small parcels of Ceylon were sold privately
at 76s for good, 77s to 78s for fine ordinary, and good
Co.'s Java at 55s per cwt ; stocks of all s.rts are diminishing.
Of West India the stock is 914 casks 901 brls and bags less
than last year at this time ; but of Mocha it is 1,664 bales and
of Ceylon 239 bags greater than at this time last year. Of
other East India and Cape sorts the stock is 21,950 bags less
than in. 1841 at this time.

to 44s paid for common to good red. Prices are firm tor Fo-
reign, and the demand has been steady ; 33s to 34s 6d is the
value.

pearance all last week ; prices further gave way for both black
and green sorts, and by private contract the operations have
been upon a small scale only. At auction on Thursday 4,000
packages were nearly all disposed of, but at a reduction on last
sales' rates of Id for Congou and Twankay, and id to
Id per lb for Hyson, Young Hyson, Imperial, and

private contract white sorts have been selling at 9s 6d
to Its for common to fine, and yellow at 8s 6d to 9s per cwt.
The stock of Ilice is heavy ; the deliveries, however, continue
on a large scale ; prices are lower than they have been for seve-
ral years for Bengal.
To-day stiffer rates were paid for Bengal ; sales were made
at Os 6d to 10s for mid white, and good at 10s 6d to I Is per cwt.
Rum, BKANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The announcement of
a Government con, ract fur 100,000 gallons of Rum, has
produced more firmness amongst importers of Rum generally,
and buyers have come forward with more alacrity. East India
Rum without certificate has been in brisk request, and prices
have advanced id per gallon ; the purchases since this day
week have been 300 hhds--proof Calcutta at Is fid to Is 50,
and it is difficult to make further purchases under is 6d per
gallon : Rum, subject to the 9s 4d duty, has secured a fair
sale, and 400 hhds hive been sold—proof good quality at
Is 9ti to is 10d, mid ls&i to is 8 d, and commour lir 7d to
