COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
PRODUCE.—MINCING-tars, Fan. 11.—The sugar mar-
ket ham elceed for the week udder great depression, the West India
private contract market has been most influenced, 70 hhda. only sold
today, naking 450 buds for the week, a quaetity much lowa than has
been recorded for some years pad. The greater portion of the public
wiles today, oorudating of 1.400 bags Mituritiu. and 6,000 bags of
Bengal, were bought in, the part sold showing a further define, and
all descriptions must be COMldered Is. I, Ed, lower then on Friday
last. Refined standard quality has become dull, at 51. ed., 555., and
sale. to any extent coujil not be made without giving way in prices.
—Coffee .. Mocha hue advanced about 2s. in public sale; good yellow
sold Gin., 655. Plantar ion : Ceylon fold at previous sates ;
atge os,
dinary native wild at 35.., 375. ; 1,5e0 bags Costa Baca sold prices
which scarcely supported previous rates.—Cotton continues in large
demand at gradual advancing price +; 1,500 bales sold, establishing
ars advance on the week of fully I per lb. Ram hoe been very dull, ,
andliprice• In a great measure nominel.—lndigo : The sale has pro- •
pressed with spirit, fully confirming the previous quoted advance,
3,500 chests have been sold during the four days out of 4,000 chests
which peened auetion.—Tallow has become lea active, and stands
quoted 535. 64.—Tea : The duty question being considered open from
the tenor of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's epeech lam night, these
has been more dbrposition to buy, and seeeral parcels that were on
offer have been withdrawn.
SUGAR.—The average price of sugar, the produce of the
British possemtans It America, computed from the returns made in
the week ending the eth day of February, 1045, Is 25, ltd. per cwt.
Sugar the produce of the Mauritius is 245. 10d. per cat. Sugar the
produce of the East India. is 20e. told. per cwt. The average price of
the three foregeing deaeriptions, }cantle, is 26.. bid. per cwt.
BUIETOL, FED. 11.—The sugar market hu been dull this
week ; the sale. in West India since our hut report not exceeding 500
Mids. and tierce, at prices a shade in earner of the buyers, as com-
pared with the former currency. In Mauritius, no sales have been
mark, the stock being all in second hands. Fart India soda renusin
without inquiry. For foreign there has been some little demand, but
in the ;Nemo of supplies at market no transactions are reported.
The Java, Worn Batavia, with sugar, has arrived here this week. and
her cargo will meet a good sale. In refiners' produce we have nn :a-
berration to notice; the demand continue good. sad prices we Wily
supported, indeed some second-hand prelude have changed bands at j
an advance. Hum has been very quiet, and scarcely a uansaction has j
taken place this wee. ; to effect sales, a reduction of 2d. to 3d. per
gallon would have lobe submitted to.
LtrzarooL, Feb. 11.—Since the intentions of government
were lumen regarding the dulls, the demand has fallen off imp-
onderable, and price% denerally are fel. to Is. lower. The ealie are
000 bhde. B. P., 2.3n0 togs Bengal and 3bo bap Mauritiue, which,
however, were chiefly sold at the close of last week. There has been
very little doing in foreign this week.

COTTON.—Luturoot., FEB. 11.—To-day the demand
is general and goad, and 5,000 tales are sold, at the highest prices of
the week. American descriptions are in great request; and the re-
duced elate of the stock, and the limited extent of the purchases yet
made for British account in the United Kates, have continued to ad-
vance prices. The authorised quotations of " Lair" qualities of Ameri-
can getirrally are aavaticed Id. per lb., and a corresponding advance
has been established in the lower qualities. Brazils and Idoptians
arc in improved demand, and during the lest fortniaht they have ad-
vanced Id. per lb. thirsts continue to be In gmmeJ and good
demand, and they have ago in advanced Id. per lb. 2,9*
heirs of American and 2ou Bursts have been taken on
speculation. and 1,610 of American and 20 Maranham for export.
Untkr the influence of an a`mudance of money, although attainable I
only on the most eligible seen, icy, the trade of the tenantry la steadily
mown .g, • e,4 ohl:c cottitlente gains ground. The home ma-
suroption of cotton continues also to extend, and the demand Ism
the trade during all the present month has been although intermit-
ting and irregular, in full proportion to the consumption. Tuner&
the close of the mouth, it became animated and general, the trade
buying largely, and with confidence. The advice, by the Boston
rdetiner were not calculated to influence much change : they gave
very various, but generslly eamenhat diminished tatimatev of the
arop, of which an unusually small proportion had, thins far, been
shipped to Great Britain. Since her arrival the improvement in
trade has ocov.inned an in reseed demand, which has since bean
steadily and briskly maintained. The stock randning in this poet Is
smatter than ham been held at any eorreepcsding periodd 1840;
and those held by the trade are also unusually small. The quotations •
to-day arc Bowed Geo: gia, 511.; New Oilcans, 4,(1.; bursts, 41d.
The total sales of the week amount to 31,610 bales.
WORSTED STUFFB.-13wabe0up.Faz.10.—Thcre was
• numerous attendance of merchants in the rieoe-hall to-day, and a
full average amount ot business was done in piece goods, principally
Cahoots and other triter] fabrics, Orleans cloths, and Mlles, suitable
for tie spring tra Ot. In toe yarn market three was a decided ins-
pet vement ; all the yarns now brought to market being taken for do-
mestic consumption, iraleperdent of the demand for export which
may be expected with the advance et the season. The wool market
was tolerably active, at late rates: the demand far Nails and Broke
wools being large, with an inadequate supply, and prices conse-
quently firm.
HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Norrncomax,
Fen. 11.-I'he two principal branches of the town manufacture,—
namely, the silk glove and drawers, still keep in their improved state,
many_ et the large slio,A being in oseeiderable activity.
BLANK WTB.-11' aniSIONDWI Ye, FBI. 10.—There was
a tolerably good attendance of merchants in our Blauket-hall, but we
hare nothing new to report of the market to-day. There were emu
trifling order's given out f
oe hem
bid only' very mien mama
of business wad don. fur the hams wads.
