SUGAR. Muscavadoes improved considerably towards the close of the market : 

 last week the prices were rather more firm. The request for low goods consider, 

 ably improved last week ; the prices were 6d. to Is. per cwt. higher ; some parcels 

 of Crushed, subject to double refined bounty, were sold for the Mediterranean, 

 35s. and 34s. 6d. In fine goods for home consumption of the country, there was 

 more doing, but the prices were not higher ; Molasses were higher and rather 

 brisk. Mauritius sugars brought forward last week were of very inferior quality, 

 they went off at full market prices. In Bengal, and other East India sugars, there 

 have been few transactions. There is a great improvement in the inquiries after 

 foreign sugars, large parcels of Brazil sold at full prices ; brown Pernamo, 15s. to
