MARKETS.

[From the London New l'rre Current.)
TUESDAY, J•sr. 17.
COTTON.—There was more business doing in our Cotton
market last week than for some time pas:, and holders being more
desirous to sell, the sales by private contract amount to 1210 bales,
viz.-220 Pernarns 11811 a llid : 60 liowrd I 714 a WA; 91'6 4(111mi
bid a bitl ; 460 Bengali Sid a aid, all in bond; and duty paid, 3000
Egyptians 94d, A public sale, 700 Surws, were sold at 54d in
bond.
SUGAR.....:The 'Sugar market was uncommonly heavy all last
week, and the public sale brought forward tended to depress the
prices; brown Jamaicas sold at 60s; and though no actual pur-
chases were made below that price, yet holders of brown Berbice,
and other inferior descripuoris, would have sold. tinder 60x; the
good anti fine qualities supported the previous prices. The consider-
able failure iq the wholesale grocery trade last week, and the general
languid 'state of our market, affords us few remarks to make re-
specting Meseeteadts c the aisles to.day are inconsiderable, and at
prices again sahade lower than last week ;•threepublic safes adver-
rived for to-morrow had also the effect of making tee market still
more heavy. The pressure for money induced holders of Refined
goods last week to sell ; brown Lumps were 80s ; there were also ,
some purchases of crushed, and come grocery goods taken, all et
low prices.—Molasses 211 s a 30s. There is no business tieing in
Refined this morning ; some offers by the shippers for delivery its
one br two months, at the present prices, have beerfrejected by ..he
I; tetinrug. In Foreign or East India Sugars :to Kelm were reported.
P COFFEE.— The quantity of Demerara and Beehive •
co,
brought forward butt week by public sale was so considerable, t
°die prices declined V a 3s; and at the redaction elapse ploportinn
of the sales was withdrawn ; all the other qualities hilt', main.
trained the late prices ; large parcels of ordinary elernarang OA a
&Is; pale Cheribon 541 a 586. By private contract Brazil good to
fine ardinary sold 575; fair quality St. Domingo 565. The public
sales to.day have been nearly all taken in ; 14'a00,1 bags. good to fine
ordinary Brasil taken in at 55s &I; ordinary Cuba at 545; 141
packages Mocha sold 20s lower, °refinery Ohs 64 up to 1200, accor-
ding to quality, bought early last year at 7l and 7155. The market
.appears heavy ; no purchases by private contract are reported.
it 1 LK.—The Silk Trade remains in a very depressed slate.
FRUIT.—The demand continues very languid ; two public
saies were attempted last week, but scarcely any thing was sold.
Muscatel's (bunch) boxes, halves, and quarters, from 71 Ids to
101 IN; Cape Raisins 4.25 ; Jordan Almonds, 81 15s to 101 for
pulled Turkey, in drums, there were no offers; Black Smyrna
Raisins taken in at 424, Red ditto, 44s to 455; none sold ; Vales.
tits in boxes and Denies in baskets all withdrawn.
RUM, BRANDY, end ROLLA NDS.—The demandlor /lam
is again reviving ; the large deliveries from the West India ware-
houses last week, at the reduced duty, about 1400 caulks for home
consumption, has given an impulse to the market ; proof Lersorards
are stow held for 2s rod, under proofs 2s 4d, but there have yet keen
no sales of any great extent. Brandies arc held lot higher prices,
but few sales reported. The holders of Geneva are confident of oh-
taMing higher prices, in consequence of the frost preventing further
supplies.
OlLS.—There is little alteration in the prices; the demand for
consumption is rather increasing.
HOPS.—There is no alteration whatever to notice in Hops ; the.
sales are quite inconsiderable.
TALLOW, 11E51P, and FLAX.—The Tallow market is
again heavy; the nearest quotation to-day is Mabel; Hemp 431105.
Fla,: dull at our quotations.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—Beef and Pork continue at nominal
prices; the very severe weather hes materially improved die demand
and the prices of Butter.
TOBACCO.—The buyers for Foreign se,:nunt have yet made
no purchases of any extent. About 220 hbds were tat= lastereek;
the ordinary Virginia 4d a 4.0. leaf 511
INDIO-O.—At the India House to-day there was little except
discussion as to the impropriety of bringing forward die sale; it
proceeded; 2000 lots were with&BWO previously ; 29) scratched.

The uncommonly fine ass, which was some time ago im-
ported into Liverpool, from Alexandria,. and which was
purchased by the Ashton-under-Lyne Israelites, fora con-
siderable sum of money, expired at the latter place or►
Wednesday, the 11th instant ; and with it, we untie:stand,
has expired their sanguine expectation of obtaining', through
the instrumentality thereof, a creurn-mloured vide ! The
purchase money, maintenance, and charges for farrier 's at-
tendance, during its indisposition, which was of several
weeks continuance, we have been credibly informed, will
together amount to upwards of 51001.1.1—Manclicster
