There has been more general and extensive inquiry for Sugar,
and rather higher prices have been obtained for good and fine de-
scriptions ; other qualities remain without alteration ; the sales
consist of 1600 Mitts 8.P., together with 1700 bags, chiefly fine
white Bengal, at 67s 6d to 69s Gd, and a small parcel of Mauritius
at the quotations. The demand for Foreign continues very steady ;
the sales are 120 cases, chiefly dry brown Bahia, at 20s to 22s per
cwt.—Molasses continue in request, and about 450 puns have been
sold, viz. Berbice at 275. Demerara at 29s Gd, Grenada at 30s, and
fine Barbadoes at 32s per cwt.—Cotter. The transactions in Plan-
tation comprise 140 casks of Jamaica, and in most instances rather
lower rates have been submitted to. Of Foreign, 140 bags were
sold, ordinary to good ordinary Cuba at 358 90 to 41s 30.-100 bags
Guayaquil Cocoa sold at the quotations, and 1200 bags black Pep-
per at 4d to 410 ; for the latter article there is a speculative demand,
owing to the accounts of injury to the growing crop, and holders
are very firm.—Nothing done in Ginger or Pimento.—There has
been a good demand for Rice, and upwards of 2000 bags of East
ludia have been sold at an advance of Is per cwt. and very little
now remains of any description.—The business in Bum is limited
to 120 puns, viz. D. merara of fine quality at 5s 3il to as 6d per gal-
lon, and inferior Havana, of low strength, at 2s 3d to 2s 40 per
gall.m. for export.
Some small sales of East India Indigo were made early in the
week at 4d per lb. advance upon the currency of the late public
sales ; latterly, however, there has been a very brisk demand, and
6,1 could readily be obtained, but there is scarcely any thing offer-
ing ; about 50 chests have been taken, Bengal at 5s Sit to 7s 3d, and
low Oude tat 4s 60 to 4s 90.-65 chests of Lac Dye are reported at
told to Ild ; 15 bales Bengal Safflower at 91s, and a few chests East
India Gum Arabic at the quotations.—There is a good demand for
Saltpetre, and 4000 bags have been sold at 25s 6d to 28s.—Some
sales of Nitrate of Soda arc reported at 13s, but there is not much
offering.

holders still demanding £l5 for Campeachy, at which 30 tons sere
sold, 40 tons of Honduras at £l2 12s rid, and 10 of Jamaica at £l2
7s 6d; in Fustic, ILO tons of Tampico brought:ClO to £ll. 10s, owing

£4 Os for Gaboon, and £8 per ton for Angola.—At the close of last
week 480 brls Turpentine, in store, were sold at 13s. but the mar-
ket has since become rather dull, and for 2300 brls offered at public
sale on Thursday 12s being the highest bid, the parcel was with-
drawn. but the whole has been subsequently sold at 12s 4d per cwt.
—Nothing done in American Tar, but for 500 brls Stockholm Tar,
in store, Gs 9,1, short price, was paid; the parcel was sold by a
dealer to an exporter.—The demand for Montreal Pot and Pearl
