with 3700 bags Bengal at 70s to 72s for good to very fine white, and
3300 bags Mauritius, chiefly at 66s to .69s per cwt. A public sale of
Brazil Sugars was brought forward, but nothing sold, except 40

50s.—There is a good inquiry for Molasses, and about 300 puns have
been sold, chiefly fine Antigua, at 365, and very ordinary Berbice at
31s per cwt.—Coffee. There are no sales of Plantation to report ;
the stock in Importers' hands is now very moderate, and the con-
sumption being on the increase, in consequence of the high price of
Tea, and the prohibition of the use of adulterated Chicory, holders
consequently are less disposed to realize, except at advanced rates.
Of Coffee admissible at 9d duty there have been no sales ; a cargo
of fine ordinary La Guayra is reported at Cork for this port. Of
Foreign, 80 bags of Brazil sold, at 45s for ordinary, and 50s for good
