SUGAR.-The last change in refined in
the local market was made February 9th,
when both Refineries reduced prices to
&c for Cube, 554 Gran, AS Elk. c., and
43s Col. G. These are the prices quoted
to-day. The demand is only for actual
requirements, and not likely to improve
until after April LIST.

EASTERN AND FOREIGN MARKETS.
Our latest mail advices from New
York of the 14th instant state that
holders have kept prices well in hand
during the month, an advance has been
established in both Raws and Refined.
The New Orleans market has sympa-
thized with New York, and planters
have been influenced by the better
prices to ship most of the sugar they
have been holding back, and the in
creased offerings have been readily
taken up.
The European market has also shown
an improvement, the price OF beet sugar
advancing in week from Us. Cd. to 13s.
Sd. The cane crops OF the world are not
turning out as large as expected, which
has necessitated a much larger buying
in Europe
AS the LIST of April approaches, much
interest is exhibited as to how much
free sugar will reduce the price OF re-
fined.
The markets are likely to be more or
less excited for the next TWO months, but
the tendency must be toward higher
values. and it is predicted that the year
will be one of advancing prices.
