Sugar going North.
--It seems that the merchants of
Hickman, Kentucky, who were allowed to lay in large stocks of sugar and molasses while the river was in our possession, have carried their stocks to
St. Louis.--One consignment of three hundred hogsheads of sugar, and a lot of molasses, was sold at auction on the 8th inst., the sugar bringing from eight to nine cents. The
Republican says: ‘"The sugar was new, from
Louisiana plantations, and averaged a fully fair grade.
The molasses was of corresponding quality.
There was a liberal attendance of buyers, and sales were so prompt, and the prices realized so full, that the results may be taken as evidencing a fast reviving spirit of trade in this city."’
