[From the I.ondon New Price Current of Friday.]
COT ON.-Cottons continue to attract intense interest; the
sales at Liverpool from Saturday to Wednesday inclusive, are
70,000 bags ; the sales here, from Saturday to last night inclusive,
are 60,000 bags; the advance during these extensive operations in
London is 4d. per lb. on Egyptian, 3d. per lb. on Pernambuco. 2d.
per lb on Boweds, and Id. a lid. on East India; the advance In
Liverpool is nearly the same. The value of Cotton sold in the two
markets is estimated at three millions. The market this afternoon
is quiet.
COFFEE.-Coffee ss. a Os. on Tuesday, since which the mar.
ket has been in a languid state, and the prices again becoming
nearly nominal; the only purchases reported were St. Domingo, as
665. ; and it iv stated 66... has since been refused for a large parcel.
The public sales brought forward this week have been entirely
taken in, and afford no criterion of the market prices. There were
no public sales this forenoon. At the close of the market to-day
Coffee was looking more firm; St. Domingo, 665. buyers ; a par.
eel of Jamaica, of Tneetlay's public sale, re-sold at 44. per cwt.
advance.
SUGAR.-The Sugar market continues in a very languid state,
and a further decline of Is. a 2s. per cwt. has taken place; new
Demerara 3luscovades sold in parcels so low as 605.: they were
dry, but of a very dark colour; no Jamaican have sold under
635. The Refined market has rather given way ; the best lumps
can be purchased at 030. ; the others in proportion. Molasses
28s. Od. This morning there is some inquiry for Ilavannah and
other Foreign Sugars, on account of the news of last night-mar-
tial law proclaimed in Cuba ; some white Harannsh, rather a large
parcel, sold at 4as.
HEMP and TALLOW.-Tallow continues very heavy; the
new is to-day 3f.s. 3d. a 365. Gd. Hemp heavy at dll. 10s.
INDIGO.-There has been little doing since the India sale;
the market is heavy at the India House priest.
OILS.-There is no alteration in Oils.
SPICES.--Spices remain heavy, at the last quotations ; the only
purchases reported are Nutmegs, Ga. dd. a fin. hat.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.-The Rum market
continues in a very depressed state, and if buyers came forward
they could purchase at lower pica, but no sales are reported.
The Rum contract to-day attracts much attention; it will no doubt
affect the market prices. Brandy and Geneva remain nominally at
the late quotations. At the close of the market to-day Ruins were
offered very low-29 and 30 O.P. at 2s. fid. •31 and 32 0. P. at

tattoo for Carolina is 355. a 361. Bengal Mk. a 21s. Cargo
