SUGAR.—The demand for pod and One S
greatly improved last week, and, as these deseripilois
are scarce, the holders were liras, and obtained an ad. •
vance of Is. • Is.: the inferior brown descriptions were
in more request at prices a shade blither. This fore- .
noon the demand for Mnscovades continues 1111101111 and
rather extensive; the good Sugars sell readily et tbe
advance we have stated; the brown descriptions, Witieb
have hung heavily on hand for a series of weeks, go off
freely at the prices which were previoasiy demanded.
bat could not be obtained. There is every prospect of a
further and very considerable .improvement in Safari.
The estimated sales to-day are UN libels. The r4ners
were rather gneiss, re effect sales last week, on wank •
of the advanced season for export, and also the wbels
sale grocers having lately purchased on a limited scale ;
a small decline in the prices was sehmitted to; the re-
daction appeared to *Wight sales ; several oiliest
houses having purchased freely. The *hippie( bowies
continue to inquire as to Relined Goods delivered in
spring. but they canast obtain coatracte at the present
prices ; a considerable parcel of Crashed Sugars is re-
ported, however, to be contracted for, deliverable early
in the vest, at prices a little higher than the market
currency. There were two parcels of Foreign Sugars
brought forward to public sale last week, which were
sold also at very reduced prices.
OILS.—The common Oils are exceedingly heavy, ands/
there appears very little demand for export; tireesland
is dull at a redaction. A cargo of Southern has been
sold at about 201.—A cargo of Sperm and Head Matter
sold so low as 571.—Linsreil Oil is higher, and will hi.
seater. on account of the short supply of seed. Rape is
without variation.

pentine is stated to he cold, the price has not however
trans aired.- supplies of Tar continue inconsidera.

RUM, BIt.ANDY, and 11OLLA).;liS.-11e Roni
market continued to improve last weeks puechasemeoitid
not buy on such low terms as foruierly, and generally
the holders were exceedingly firm, anticipating higher
prices, as the quantity expected is trivial, and the im-
ports next season, on account of the failure of the crops
of Sugar in Jamaica, will undoubtedly be limited. The
public sale of Friday. 147 puncheons Jamaica, attracted
much attention, on account of the fine quality of the
Rum, and being I favourite mark.—The remainder of
the sale was Rum of an uncommon strength.—Brandies
have continued to advance hr some weeks, and we
must again quote an improvement of 4d. a 6d. per gal-
lon.—The public sale of Rum thisibrenoon sold at full
prices; it consisted of 177 puncheons Jamaica, chiefly of
good quality.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—There is no alteration in
Beef or Pork; new Bacon realises 40s. there has been
some infinity for Middles, and generally the market has
been rather better. The supplies of Irish Butter are
inconsiderable; they'anticipate a considerable improve-
ment, on account of the high prices in Ireland. . .

was in a very depressed state last week, and prices billy
Sri. below our reduced quotations were accepted since
