ed this morning with renewed vigor, and very
early considerable purchases were made at
advanced prices; the activity has continued

Sugars, Gc.-Thc British plantation sugar
market has continued very dull, from the re-
luctance of the trade to accede to the prices
demanded by the importers, who remain very
firm, and for about 100 hhds, have obtained
full previous rates, which, with 300 hhdS.
bought from second hands at rather lower
prices, comprise the total transactions of the
week. In East India and Foreign sugars the
sales are confined to 200 bags good white Ben
gal at 79s per cwt Nothing done in molas.

wholly suspended, no sales worthy of notice
having taken place, and prices may be consi,
dered nominal.

sequence done in this article.
DruSaAeries, SJc.-The market for almost all

Illuminated features, accompanied in price
The public sales of ashes advertised for Thurs
day and Friday last, contributed materially to
check the demand previously, and to depre-
ciatc the currency, and sales only could be ef-
fectcd at a reduction of Is Sd to Is Cd per cwt.
The whole of those offered on Thursday,
however, went off rather briskly at 33s Cd. to
34s Cd. for Montreal pots, and SIS Cd to 3Ss
for pearls, with few States at Ais per cwt.
The sale ofFriday was withdrawn, the owner
not being inclined to take the reduced prices;
since which the market has assumed steadier
appearance. Logwood has been much ne
glected; 80 tons Campeachy has been attempt
ed by auction, but not sold, 40l. was refused
for part. l20 tons of prime Cuba fustic
met brisk sale by auction at ISL los. to l4l.

currency. The only sale of Nicaragua Wood
consists of so tons of good spall at 27l. per
ton. s tons Camwood brought 25l and 5 tons
Sanders 20l per ton.

effected to both spectators and dealers at an
advance of 2dp per bushel on the prices OBJ
tainable on Saturday. Since then there has
been little done in that article, but such sales
as have taken place have been at fully sup
ported prices. In Oats there has been little
business done, and prices are without altera-

without demand. Little or no inquiry for

LONDON MARKETS, March IS.
Sugar-Little business done this week in
Muscovado sugar, and prices are quoted low
err; holders, however, do not force the mar

white Rio sugar sold at AS TO 4os, low DO DOS
to AIS, yellow S4s to SIS; Havana sugars are

for bv the refners at SIS to SIS for dry browns

the market, have withheld their coffee from

parcels of St. Domingo have changed hands
at 75s to us per cwt.
