MARKETS.

[From The London New Price earring

TUESDAY, JULY 19.
NEW DUTIES.-The chief reductions in the Import Duda
are in Hemp, Dyewoods, Brimstone, Ashes, Olive Oil, &c.
COTTON-There is a very great change in public opinion re-
epecting Cottons : speculators have been watching the market, and
if parcels could be purchased on lower terms, very extensive pur-
chases would have been made. From Liverpool the account's»
similar, the trade showing every disposition to get into stock, and
the only reason that they did not come forward, was the great extent
of the arrivals : when these are brought forward for sale, we anti.
cipate very extensive transactions. The sales in London lass
week are nea-ly three thouland bags, of which the greater pont»
is Sprats, at flid. a 10 yd.
COFFEE.-The Coffee gales of last week went off with toe-
siderable briskness; the ordinary descriptions of British Planta-
tion at an advance of Is. a 2s. per cwt. ; the middling and finer
qualities at an improvement of 4s. a ss. ; the Foreign sold also
more freely, but without any variation in the prices ; St. Domingo
at Gls. and 625. By private contract considerable parcels were re-
ported to be taken at full prises.
There were two public sales of Coffee brought forward this fore.
noon, 298 casks British Plantation, and GO bags St. Domingo;
the whole sold freely, and at rather better prices ; good ordinary
St. Domingo 62a., good ordinary Jamaica 64a. atlas. 6d., &emit'.
dlirg 995. ; ordinary middling Dominica 81s. a 81a Bd.
SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovades last week was steady,
but the purchases reported were not considerable, owirg to the
buyers only coming to market for their immediate wants, declining
to get into stock till agreater supply of Sugars should beat mantel:
and as the number of ships reported in the Channel was very ex-
tensive, they anticipated a very great show in a week or tentlays;
there was little alteration in the prices, the holders Infra fins:, on
account of the reported very short crops. There continues lobe •
very small quantity of good Sugars on show, but the buyers only
purchase for their immediate consumption, in the anticipation of
very large supplies in s few days ; the stock is about 13,0e0 casks
less than last year. There is no alteration whatever in the prices
to-day. In Refined goods there was much heaviness last week,
and as some of the holders were inclined to give way to facility,
sales, a general reduction in the prices was submitted to; low
Lumps being sold at 86s. and 871. and the tine sold also a shade
lower ; the wholesale grocers were considerable purchasers for
home consumption of the country. Molasses advanced to 281. and
211 s. lid. The Refined market is little varied to-day, and the bust.
nese effected quite inconsiderable; very few parcels of lumps offer at
865.; the request for tine goods is steady, but the grocers only pur-
chase where parcels are offered at low rates. 31olasses are again
higher, 20e. a 30s. The inquiries after Foreign Sugars were con-
siderable last week, but few actual purchases were reported. By
public sale, 7455 hags Mauritius Sugars were brought forward ; the
whole went off freely, at full prices ; brown and low yellow 60s. a
G2l. ; strong yellow 635. and 645. M.
INDIGO.-The sale continues of the India House; a reduction
of In. Gd. a 2s. Gd. on the last sale prices was submitted to, but the
market has become more firm, and the prices a shade higher;
about a third appears to be taken in for the proprietors.
SILK.-There is no alteration to notice in the prices of Silk;
the buyers do not purchase to any extent, anticipating a lower cora
re.cy.
RUM, BRANDY, and lIOLLANDS.-The Rum market
continues exceedingly firm, and the holders not inclined to effect
sales at the present prices ; proof Leeward, have been sold at Is. lid.
and we think it would be difficult to purchase any quantity at that
price, as the imports are inconsiderable, and a great proportion of
the stock here held by speculators; several parcels of fine Jamaica
Rum sold at 3s. 4d. Brandy is still exceedingly heavy; parcels
on the quay offered at 2s. lid. parcels of 1823 sold at 2s. 10d.
Geneva Is. 10J.
SPICES.-There is little alteration to notice in Spices; tight
Pepper is inquired after for shipping at s,id. a Sid.: other last
India Spices continue neglected. Pimento is rather higher, gist.
and 10d. At a late hour to-day there appeared a renewed inquirs
for Nutmegs, 4s. 2.1. a 4s. Gd.
TEA. In the Tea market Twankeys are very scarce at Id.
profit; many breaks of Congou also fetch this talvance. Bohn»
are at Id. discount.
TOBACCO.-The prices of Tobacco are fully supported, bat
there hus been little business, on account of the whole stock hers
being in a few hands; the only parcels not in speculators' hands are
two cargoes newly arrived, about 600 hhds.
OILS.-The only alteration is in Rape Oil, which is 10s. a 20s.
higher; pale 311. brown 3W.
HEMP, FLAX. and TA LLOW.-The extreme warm weather
begias to attract the attention of the speculators and dealer" in
Tallow ; the new was however still quoted to day 355. 6d. a 365.
New Hemp 331. old 371. aM. In Flax there is Huh alteration to
notice.
