MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 



SUGAR.* A general and extensive demand for Muscavadoes continued during 

 the last week ; extensive purchases would have taken place, but owing to a short 

 supply of the qualities most in demand, which were strong for refining and very 

 low brown, the prices were, 6d. to Is. per cwt. higher ; estimated sales, 3,300 hhds. 

 and tierces. The stock of West Indian Sugars is now 40,064 hhds. and tierces, being 

 4,606 less than last year. The delivery of West India Sugars last week was, 

 3,275 hhds. and tierces, being, 341 more than last year; the delivery of Mauritius 

 last week, 3,003 bags, being 560 more than the corresponding week of 1829 ; the 

 market is firm at the improvement we have stated. Good new Sugars brought 

 forward have sold freely. The refined market Was more firm last week ; no brown 

 lumps offered under 62s. ; they have been selling at 61s. and 61s. 6d. ; nearly all 

 the lumps are cleared off the market. The prices of refined free on board are now 

 2s. or 3s. lower than last year, 62s. readily realized for low lumps from the great 

 improvement in the Sugar Market ; Mauritius and East India Sugars have com- 

 manded a profit, Is. or Is. 6d. per cwt. ; Siam Sugar sold at the advance of Is. 

 per cwt. 



COFFEE. The public Sales of Coffee last week, were confined to small par- 

 cels of Jamaica, Demerara, and Berbice ; a few lots of Jamaica ordinary sold, Is. 

 and 2s. higher ; the demand for foreign Coffee has been general and extensive ; 

 about 1,700 bags Brazil, sold chiefly at 33s. and 34s.; parcels of St. Domingo, 

 32s. 6d., and Cheribon at the same price. The Coffee Market is unvaried. 



RUM, BRANDY, HOLLANDS. The demand for Rum continued general and 

 extensive last week ; nearly 1,200 puncheons have been sold at a further advance 

 of ^ to Id. per gallon ; in Jamaica Rum there are no sales. Brandy and Geneva 

 are neglected.
