SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-The movements in So
gar since Friday last have exhibited considerable
activity in jobbing way, and business in Cuba
has been fair, while offerings of new Louisiana,
which have been very light throughout, were in
good demand, and for the most part disposed OF
as soon as received. Receipts of the new crop
from the interior continue to increase, and the
indications are that very liberal supply will
soon be offering on the platform. We quote

sugar and 23S boxes Cuba do. Exports, Is hhds
TO Texas. Transactions in Molasses have been
light, as the receipts of new from the interior
have thus far been but moderate, and offerings
too small for any extensive operations. The
stock thus far received has been readily sold at
figures that are yet too unsettled to govern future
operations. Most of the receipts since Friday
last have been sold at the following prices, viz
Common, 70Q75c.; centrifugal, s0c.; prime, 81 /;
and choice, 81 05. Received since last Friday,
l20 bbls. Exports, 20 to Texas aud 40 to Neg
York.
FLoUR-The market has continued dull and
quiet since Friday last, with very little animation
and but few transactions of any magnitude. Buy.
ere, both for the city trade and for expectation,
extent, and have restricted their purchases to ac-
tual requirements; while rates have undergone
no material change during the past three days
and are nomiBally the same as quoted at the close
of the previous week, with the exception of q
slight Improvement in superfne, which is still
scarce. To-day there was very little movement
observable in any department Of either the pro-
vision or produce market. The incemency of
the weather and unsettled condition of affairs
generally have been adverse to any extensive
trade. Operations to-day were confined to 1900
bbls., of which 500 were low treble at IS, 100
choice do. at SO so, 100 choice extra at $40 so,
and 500 double extra upon private terms. We
