COMMERCIAL AND MA MCP. TS

PRODUCE—Mesons...I.Z, MARCH 30.—Sugar: The market Ma
been dull, and nothing but the firmness of the importers in refusing
to sell at lower prices, prevented a decline. About one-half only of the
13,000 bags Mauritius offered in public wile found buyers, and the
whole of the 6,500 begs Madras were withdrawn for want of buy era •
800 bags Bengal told from Vie. rd. to 51e., and 230 Wide. West India
by private contract; 150 hint, St- Croix, of extraordinary fine quality,
sold at high prices, use. to Bk., but then roust not be cunsidered me-
, meal quoutions. Coffee : The greater portion of the public sale.
was bought in as full prices were not offered; gold ordinary. Ceylon
nominal 41e. fid. to 45a. Rice quantity offered in public ale,
6,300 Nun, far exceeded the demand, and a further decline and. to
la was established, and a conaiderable portion bought in. Yellow

Bengal, alto chiefly bought in, 19s. to 19e. 6d. • very good
white sold 20e. to 20a. 6d. Cotton has lot en in good demand, and 1.000
bales reported eold at NU prices. Cochineal declined Id. to 2d. in
public sale. Rum: The market has been depreaned to-day by the an-
nouncement that the distillers have reduced the price of Bridab
spirits to Its. per Won, beings reduction of 9d. per All. Ginger:
Cal cut sold in public ale 24. to 33a. Tallow dull, 30a, 6d. on the
spot. Tea without alteration. Pepper dull of sale. A part only of
1,000 bags Malabar offer d told at 3d.

COTTONL—ltrimiroot, fdsacn 30.—The market continues firm
and the sales to-day were 6,000 bales, 3,000 for export and on teecu
latice. Prices: New Orleans, tlf to 7f ; Bowed Georgia, 6 to 7
Surat; 4d. told.
Ilartaterres, MAIM 30.—The large huffiness done in Liverpool
yesterday, and the edema, ertablished upon cotton, has rompelled
manufacuren to ask higher rates to-day. For forty-inch shirting'
and ■ few other descriptions of goods en advance has, in some in•
stances, been paid, but not to the extent generally demanded. Buyers
will readily give the prices of Let week, but are exceedingly unwilling
to go beyond these limits, preferring inmost cases to suspend the ere-
lion of their ordeta, and await the chances of the market. This
has tended to check operations, and, though a fair business has been
done, it is much below what might under other eircumetances have
been transacted. Influenced by the Mlle muses, spinters have also
assumed a much firmer tone, and in some crises obtained better rates.
There is a moderate busineesi doing. The home trade is sell Im-
proving, though slowly. The declining prices of provisions must
shortly tell favourably upon this important breath of business.—

WOOLLENX.—Lean., MA ace Nl.—We had about the usual attend-
ance of merchants today, but no improvement can be reported over
that of Tuesday's market, as there seems to be no buying spirit in the
merchant. for goods shown in our halls, as they are principally sup-
plied by goods manufactured to otter, suitable for the continental
markets; several of the inerckants holding very large orders. The
goods sold were principally low blues and blacks, and a few lots of
rifles, clarets, and drabs of a finer quailly. Prices remained without
alteration. _ _ .

--ftL7iiiiiLTel.—liscsnosuwtss, Makes 29.—There was only 1111 in-
different attendance of merchants at our Blanket-hall to-day, but we
have to report an increased amount ol business done, some of the
merchants purchasing rather freely. Prices remained without
alteration.

CONN.—PRA/1M Lathing at the prime quoted during the
past week, we have to 11111101 MCI a fall in prices in many of the prin-
cipal markets. This change has been canned rather by the determi-
nation of buyers not to pay the previous prices than by any greater
supply of Sour and wheat. In the north, and all round Part,, at
Chartres, Etampea, Orleans, Montrreau, and Chiteauroux, the fall
bee been from 3f. to If. the hectolitre, and even more. At North-
Jo-Roy, Provina, Puntoise, Rembouillet, Fert.-Gaucher, Rt. Quentin,
Soireons, Vernon, and Villers-Cotteret, on Saturday, the quotatiore
were all from If. to 2f. lower. The letters which we have received
from them planes speak of a further tall ti ing expected. In Picardy,
too, the decline has been from 2f. to 3f. In Le Vendee, however, in
Berry, Saumur, Tours, Boum., and bimodal", the price. have ad-
, 'speed. The same has been the case at Bonham, Bayonne, and Toulouse,
and at Straeburg, Metz, and None, the rim ben been even more masked.
At Marseilles the tendency la at premint rather upwards ; emu arri-
vale have no doubt taken pines tharedaring the week, but not enough
to snorer the demand ; at Lyons also matters are scarcely va calm
as they were the mewling week ; Burgundy and Alsace, after thving

Jan. I to March 25, the males have amounted to 360,467 quintale, and,
in the same period, the arrivals went 1560* quintals, eo that the sale
have exceeded the arrival, by 662 quintal..
