LONDON SPIRIT SI tRKET. —The demand for TOM iX
steady, at extreme rates. Proof Leeward', at 91. to
2s. ; and Proof East India, at Is. 9d. to is. 10d.
per gallon. Brandy Ia tid. per gallon dearer, with a Gnu
market. The top price is 9s. 104. per gallon. Grain
spirits are unaltered in value.

TEA.—The demand, generally, is very inactive, but
we have no change to notice in the quotations. Con.
mon sound cungou is selling at Is. 34d. per lb.
SUusg.—There has been only • limited inquiry for all
kinds of raw sugar. In prices however, very little
change ham taken place. Echoed gouda are dull, at
for common brown lump.: 51/4. ill, to 151 s. for stimi:-
ard • 475. to 495. for crushed; and 445. to 464. 6d. f, r
goo to tine pieces. Dutch crushed has changed ban..
somewhat freely for forward delivery.
The produce markets during the week have been in-
active. and no important change has taken place. Hal s
of saltpetre were made at a further reduatiol, which
subsequently brought in buyers, and a few parcels wee
sold at a recovery of Is. to Is. tid. per cwt. This mo-
tion may be partly attributed to the extended deliverie
The better qualities of sugar have gone off at full rate L,
while low remain dull, and business has been done
brown native Madre., at • decline of la. per cwt. Floe t-
ing cargoes of Havannah have also been disposed of
on lower terms. As the day for the Netherland Tr r•
ding Company's coffee sale approaches (the 7th inst.) the
shippers seem unwilling to buy freely, and consequenty
plantation Ceylon coffees have not maintained their f, r-
imer priors, especially for the common and palish kin.s.
Friday, however, middling to good marks realised CIO
full valuations. Imports from Colunibo are reale
heavy. The tea-market has been very flat, the trade
making limited purchases, and large public sales beirtg
declared for the 7th. An improved demand exists for
East India rice, and white Bengal is firmer. Two flostiog
cargoes of Rangoon have been sold at full rstea. Hum
has been active, with a diminished quantity of oontin,h
Weld India offering. The principal feature in spice is
an improvement in white pepper. Mace and mann p
were also slightly dearer.
