mand and indifference of buyers, which

duced to 53sc. for 90 degs. test, and
Muscavadoes TO 434c. q 4 1S-16c. for
50 degs. test. Our latest mail advices
from New York OF the 18th ulto. state
that BUYERS have secured all that was
obtainable at the above quotations. The
demand has only been moderate, how
ever, as direct importations OF both do
mestic and foreign sugars have furnish
ed tair supply.
