MARKETS.
[From the Lonek-ne New Price Orrrent.l
TYVIDAY, MAY 10.

COTTON.—The demand for Cotton last week was wry ;
the gales only amounting to fi3OtN) hales ; good Surats have beco
chiefly inquired tire, and have commanded full prices, but all loser
qualities have with difficulty been sold at a decline of id from the
highest quotations : Bengali' remain without any alteration in
price.

LIVERPOOL. MAY 7.
Our Cotton market received an impulse on 3londay afternoon by
the accounts from New York to the Bth ult. stating that Uplands
in that market had advanced to 26 to 28 cents., and Orleans to 33
cents. per lb. This demand however was soon checked, the trade
not following up the purchases of the speculator,: the market since
Tuesday has beat very languid, and we reduce quotations Id.
per lb.
COFFEE—The Coffee market last week was uncommonly
heavy ; the public sales ware nearly all taken in. scarcely any offers
made; some ordinary brown Havannah sold 625. and G 2, CO. By
private contract there appeared some inquiry by speculstots. :ad
large parcels of even quality St. Domingo would have sold in. or 2s.
higher than small lots: for the former ehis. was asked, but no actual
business to any extent wan reported. The public sale this fore-
noon consisted of 276 casks Jamaica and Dominica Coffee the
fine sold 2s. a ds. lower; the other qualities fully supported the
previous price: the fine ordinary rather higher ; fine middling Ja-
maica 96w, good middling 91s. a 925., middling 88s.; fine ordi-
nary 114 e. ; middling Dominica withdrawn at 775.; there wu no
good ordinary in the sale.
SUGAR.—The demand for 31w:coracles during the last week
was limiud ; some dark.coloured Trinidad and St. Lucia sold so
low as 575. but the lowest general quotation of brown Sugars was
Ms., and the market closed with more firmness than for some time
preceding. There is no alteration in the demand or in the prices of
3luscovades this forenoon; the business dune is still inconsider-
able, hut the market looks more firm. By public sale this fore-
noon, 150 hhds. Barbadoes Sugar sold at very steady prices ; brown
58s. a 595. Cal. ; the good quality 61s. a 665. The purchases of Re-
fined goods last week were very considerable, and the market was.
nearly cleared of the low lumps at 82s. and 83a.; the finer magi.
ties were in better supply, and could be purchased on rouparatively
low terms—Alolasses were 28s. a 28s. 64. The Refined market

to-day is steady, and the demand for Lumps;lllcomidereble ;
Molasses Dia.

The public sale of Ilavannah Sugars, 8113 chests. wag near 4 all
taken in : yellow about 34e., white 445. a 475.: 16,260 bags au*
ratius Sugars were offered at public gale, imported about a year
ago, and of course not available for home consumption at the low
duty : the first part or the sale appeared to be taken in as. a3O.
under the last India House sale ; but at the close it was repoyted,
and with great confidence, that the whole was taken for an eminent
Dutch house, at full market prices: we believe there is now no
doubt of the fact, but the particulars as to prices, have not
transpired.
FRUIT—The arrivals of Currants and Red Smyrna Raisin
have been inconsiderable lately nothing appears to have been dons
since the public sale on Tuesday. Of Denis and Valenti* else
there are fresh arrivals. _ . .

The Fruit sale to-day went off heavily ; • small lot of Valetitia,
halt boxes, sold at Ms. ; • few lota of Denim in baskets, 364; the
remainder taken in.
TOBACCO.—Within the last few days, the speculation in To-
bacco has been resumed, and with great spirit ; about 1,1100 linds.
are twitir—Virgini• sd. to 7,1. per lb., and bd. per lb. bas been re•
fused for 'cargo of Kentucky ; the latter sold during the late bustle
at Sad. per lb. The prices obtained are as high as during the great
briskness two months ago.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The demand for Tallow
is rather increasing 365. is the price of the new. Hemp is in
more request, and there is a considerable improvement in she
currency. In Flax there is little alteration to nottee.—Tallow
July and August shipments, 38; Hemp in bond 311. IN.
Sll.K.—There is little doing, but there is an increasing dispo-
sition to purchase, if the merchants would submit to a small ltu4C.
liOn in the prices.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market
continues in a very depressed state ; some Leeward', 5 over, have
been sold at Is. 7d., and a parcel averaging 4, at a lower price
other purchases are reported. Brandy has given way : paroels to
arrive 31. 2.1., housed of last year 3s. 3d. In Geneva there are no
sales reported.
It is understood that Rum will be allowed in the distilleries. tr.,'
that the duty will he ultimately settled at Is. 31. per gallon higher
than on British Spirits.
I RISII PROVISIONS.—Beef and Pork are without variation:
Bacon is heavy, and rather lower. Butters arc declining, on ac-
count of the very line weather.
01 LS.—The (Oil market is heavy. and rather lower. Rape Oil
sold last oak at 301., but the quotation to-day is 324 It is stated
with confidence, one half of the reduction proposed in the duty on
Seed will take place in January next ; the other half during the
year Ifi26.
