SYDNEY MARKETS, Aug. 13,
From the Empire.
The continuous influx of goods during the past month, has, in a great measure, checked all business transactions. Holders and importers evince great anxiety to [realise, and the few sales made have been of a character to depress prices very materially.

Sugar.—Crushed loaf, (American,) realised at auction, 6^d. to 7d. per lb. Coj?fee.—None in importers' hands, and stocks fast decreasing. Cigars.—Are heavy of sale at 60s. to 625.6 d. No. 2's, 50s. to 525."6 d. No. 3's.
