MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 



8 UG ATI. West India Sugar was very heavy last week ; the stock isnow 23,853 hhds., 



being 1,901 less than last year. Mauritius is 27,073 bags, being 43,499 less than 



last year. The market has rather a languid appearance, the trade being necessarily 



engaged in valuing sugars. The refined market revived towards the close of 



' last week, and large and small lumps were in particular demand ; the fine was dull, 



and prices a shade lower. Low goods continue in demand ; lumps are Is. higher 



< than on Tuesday last. Fine goods dull. Molasses heavy at 22s. 6d. Foreign 



Sugars The only purchases are damaged parcels, which have sold at rather 



better prices; Bahar, damaged, sold at 12s. to 21s., the sound all taken in. 



. Mauritius Sugars are not so brisk as usual ; the middling and good sugars went 



off at 6<1. to Is. per cwt. lower, on account of the supplies being generally of good 



and fine descriptions ; the low browns supported prices ; Siam sold at 21s. 6d. to 



25s. fid. ; Java, nil taken in. Average price of Sugar 26s. 2d. per cwt. 



COFFEE By private contract the sales have been very extensive, they consist 

 of nearly 5,000 "bays, Foreign and East India, at advancing prices; St. Domingo, 

 '36s. to 37s Brazil, 3/s. to 39s Sumatra. 28s. to 32s. Batavia, 34s. to 36s. 

 good Ceylon, 36s. Brazil sold at 39s. (>d. ; the Mocha at former prices ; Jamaica, 

 63s. Gd. to 59s. 



RUM, BHAXDY, HOLLANDS The Spirit Market rather languid; yesterday 

 there was some briskness in trade on account of the rise of 3d. per gallon in British 

 spirits (now 11s. per gallon, and 11s. 3d. credit); some Leewards were sold at 

 Is. lid., and for proofs, 2s. 10. In Brandy and Geneva there is no alteration. 



, HEMP, FLAX, TALLOW The Tallow Market is more firm on account of the 



warlike appearance of Paris, and the facility given to the bonding here till 

 'October; the prices are a shade higher. In Hemp and Flax there is little altera- 

 tion, the advance in the former is firmly maintained.
