Suoari.-The demand for Sugar continued very
limited last week, till towards the close of the mar-

lower. The holders of Sugar have been much dis-
appointed this nivrning ; from the appearance of, he
close of tht market last week they fully anticipated
a renewal of the demand for Muscovades , there

several parcels of Lumps ; Crushed Sugar was also
more in request. Molasses were in steady demand,
and there was no alteration in the prices. The en-
quiries after Havannah Sugars have produced no
improvement in the prices ; few actual sales are re-
