[From the London New Price Current.]
Tr"' DA T, FEN. 28.
COTTON.—We had more demand for Cotton last week for export, the
sales amounting to 3,500 bales, els. •.-1,500 Pernams, 10(d. p !RILL 230
' Bahias 10(d. ; 400 Ceara", 1011. ; 100 Bowed,,, 74d. a 714. ; WOO SUnitS•
qd. a 54d. ; 230 Bengal,,, bd. a 5,1 d. In bond; 10 Smyrna', lid. duty

SUGAR.—The Sugar market last week was in s moat languid and de-
pressed state ; some very low brow it St. Ludas were sold at 475.; the
general currency even of the lowest could not, however, be stated under
481. ; the low qualifies were very difficult to sell. Them were so brown
.lamosicas sold under SO.t. Towards the close of the market on Friday
there appeared a considerable revival of the trade, and the purchaser on
that day were estimated at nearly SOO casks, and at improving prices.
The reviving demand for hi uscovades, which we noticed on the Friday, has
to-day been checked by the accumulation of the stock, and the decrease
in the weekly deliveries. The purchases of Muscovades reported in the
forenoon were inconsiderable ; as the dry advanced the demand increased.
and at the close nearly 1,1.100 hhds. were reported sold, the good and tine
at higher prices. The liarbadoes sale, 124 Lhds., went off with POW
Gd. fur common brown to 71s. 6.1. for tine white; about is.
higher for the good and tine descriptions. The Refined market last week
was in a very depressed state, some brown Luinps being at 74r..
ad. and 76e. Molasses were 9101. The met depeossios m-goods
has at length attracted the attention of the buyers, who have picked up
all parcels offering at low rates ; few low Lumps now offer below 7:w.
The wholesale grocers have also been purchasing line goods, and the
quttittity at market is very much reduced. Molasses '24s. Gd. By public
sale on Friday, SG chests 8 boxes ordinary to strong brown Brasil all sold
at 245. 6.1. a about 2'. lower than last sa:e.
COFFEE.— The public sales of Corer last week went of hatorily ; Si.
Domingo 49... a :A1.., Brazil 495. About 9tXl bags St. Dorniego (Indirect)
have been sold for 475. Gd. cash. There are no other purchases reported
today, and no public sties; St. Dcmingo Coffee nominally 495. a SM.
There are more inquiries this forenoon after Coffee.
TEA.—The extension of the Tea prompt for three weeks has made the
markets little firmer, but without advancing prices. The determinatien
of the India Board is, that a farther derm,it of ten per cent. most be
made on Friday next, and interest tO be charged up till the timil rai-
ment.

iIIEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The nearest quotation of Tallow it
to-day 335. The limited sales of Hemp aid Flax are ,rbuut the inserted
currency.
FRUIT.—The demand for every description of Fruit continues to br
very languid, and the stock continues to !Lei-ease %%Ty exten .tvely, with.
out any provect of Improvement.
MIME:CO.—The purchneet are confined to a few Virninim. at former
prices. It is reported the extensive specula'ors ale chipping to France,
on account of the decree to which we have often alluded.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The deliveries of Rum, thru.th
much r4lncell. are still considerable for the home consumption. Ihe
quotations of Rum, Brandy, and Holland% are nearly nominal.
SPICES.—Tbere hare been no purchases of Spices since the India,
house tale ; some Immirles are made this forenoon, but nu actual sales
arc yet reported.
