THE MARKETS.
There is a great improvement in trade
within the last few weeks more business
has 6ecn done in Sugar, Coffee, SC. than
for several months preceding.
SUGAR.
We noticed in our last publication the
great appearance OF a revival of trade, the
event has realized the general expectation !;
the Aluscovados during the la week con.
tinued brisk, and on rather an extensive
scale, higher prices were realized; lately
the purchasers would only buy parce Is lor
immediate use they are consequently, en-
TREY out of stock, and they are now com.
nencnIg to purchase freely.
There was a general expectation that
from the late considerable imports of Su-
gar the market this morning would be pIen-
tliuIly supplied with new Muscovados; un-
der this impression, atan early houy, there
we've CXte nsive buyers a, market; the re.
suit, however did not answer he expecla-
ton entertained; there was very indif-
tereot show of good Sugars, and as the
trade were without stock, the demand be.
came brisk and extensive, the good quail
ties being taken If at very considerable
adv nee as soon as exposed for sale the
purchases dre estimated to exceed 1000
hhds and they would have been much
more considerable had the supply been e.
quail to the demand; the advance in the
prices OF Muscovados since this day week
is fully 3s. per cent.
TIE Refined market has advanced very
considerably, about 2s. last week, and yes
terday and this forenoon the demand con-
tinued. and further rise has been realz-
ed, making a general Improvement of IS.
TO is. on low goods, and Is. to IS. on the
other descriptions, since our last, Tues
day.. The quantity OF Refined at market
IS lnconsiderable, and as the stock is in
few hands, it is held firmly the groceis
are still the chief purchasers the export
request is however increasing, but the
quantity ready is inadequate to the de-
mand !; and few goods can be expected for
some weeks, and the refncrs have lately
been working on very limited scale
The request Tor MoIasses has again reviv-
ed, the prices continue to improve.
For foreign Sugars there are more enqui-
rie., but few sales are yet reported.
Ce6ee-There was . greet revival in
the oemand and the prices of Coffee last
week.-On THURSDAY, at the public sale,
an advance of fully g. was obtained on
Friday the request became general and ex-
tensive, and In consequence OF the renew
ed enquiries, the sellers refused to take
the former prices Immediately offers
were made at further and considerable
Improvement, and on Saturday and yes
terday the request continued, but without
the former brIskne,s for ST. DomingOs,
of fine quality, ZOOS. was realized, and it is
reported 1o2s. 3D. and Iu3s. was also re-
fused good ordinary Jamaica was sold at
95s. to CTS. ; fine ordinary ZOOS. to LOGS. {;
the purchases of Coffee would certain
ly have been extensive, bad not the
holders suddenly determined not to sell,
except at The great advance we have
stated and even where such prices. were
offered, II is reported the holders would
not sell, in the expectation that the ad-
vance would be both immediate and con-
siderable.
The market this forenoon continued in
very unsettled state; The public sale,
however. which consisted of l37 casks and
946 hays enables US to give correct &C.
count of the market. which may be stated
at an irregular advance OF los. to l5s since
this day week, averaging an improve
ment of fully les. per cwt. being an ad-
vance of fully g.. per cwt. on any sales by
private contract; middIirg Demerara and
Berbice Coffee, which the previous week
sold about [o2s. to Io5s. realized lbs. Cd
to II6s. good middling sold at lies. tt
