FROM TIIB LONDOV NEW PRICE CURRENT.

FUIDAY, Ocr. 7.
COTTON.-The demand for export continue* steady and con-
siderable ; the purchases this week are about 3,000 bags, but as the
holders meet the demand freely, there is no alteration whatever in
the prices; the pufthases are chiefly Bengali and Pernains. The
letters fmm Liverpool state 2,000 bags were sold on Wednesday at
steady prices.
SUGAR.-The demand for sluscovadee after Tuesday last be-
came languid till yesterday, when, In addition to the purchases for
Lverpool, the market was enlivened by buyers coming forward,
supposed to be on Glasgow account; the prices, which previously
appeared drooping, immediately retrained what they had lost, and
tbeputchases reported were about 1,1100 hhds.; scarcely any brown
Sugars of the most inferior descriptions can be purchased under
70a. This forenoon there has not been so much business done, but
the prices are fully maintained. The Refined market continues ad-
'taking, on account of the rise in raw Sugars, ani.the extensive
demand for fine goods for home consumptioa : the hitter are now
very scarce, and are still in request ; low goods continue compare-
tively neglected, on account of the advanced season for shipping;
low lumps 11es.-31olasses 355. 6tl. In Foreign Sugars very few
purchases are reported this week. By public sale on Tuesday,
middling white Rio 42a. a 485.; good white Havannab 625.; the
Bengal Su gets were withdrawn.
COFFEE.-The lan gid state of the Coffee market has occasioned
a considerable proportion of the usual public sales to be postponed;
we cannot quote the prices by private contract much lower. but few
or no buyers will make an offer for Coffee. There were two public
Pales to-day, consisting of 426 casks 26 bags Jamaica and Deme-
rara Coffee ; only a small proportion sold, at full market peicell
and since the sale the request fur Coffee has rather revived ;
derable sales of Si. Domingo are reported at 66.. which 1s rather
higher.
RUM, BRANDY, anti HOLLANDS.-The purchases of
Rum this week have been most extensive ; we estimate the sales at
2,066 puncheons, chiefly Leeward*; 600 were yesterday sold, ave-
raging a little under proof at 2e. ; proofs cannot now be purchased
at that price ; 4 over sold at 2s. Id. ; Jamaica 31 over at 3s. 4d.,
29 at 3s. 3d. ; the sales have been for the supply of Contractors,
and also considerable purchases for export ; scarcely any under
proofs could now be bought under 25., except old landed par.
cals.-Brandies are rather heavy, which is the more surprising,
las the prices in France will be high.-In Geneva no sales are re-
ported.
TOBACCO.-The duty on Tobacco is now permanently fixed
at 3s. per lb. ; the order in Council to that effect has reached the
Custoin.honse ; there has in consequence been more doing in Te-
bacco ; the purchases are chiefly by the trade, and at full prices;
the market has a firnt appearance.
OILS.-The holders are asking higher prices, on account of
there being no accounts of the Davis Straits Fishery.
HOPS.-The picking is finished ; the quantity is very inconsi-
derable, but of fine quality ; the prices asked 211. to 241; duty
22,000/.
FRUIT.-A parcel of new French was offered at public sale on
Wednesday. and went off exceedingly heavy. The early period at
which this Fruit has been brought to market (long before there is a
demand for it) has caused the few lots that were sold to go at very
low pries, viz. quarter and half barrels Prunes 465. a 411 s. Imperi-
als in small boxes 108 s. a 117.. in baskets 71. 7s. Cartoons 61.95. to
61. 15s. quarter chests, French Plums 661. a 70.., New Jordon Al-
monds in boxes, 10/. Ils. to 10/. 11... ; Cape Raisins 4tie a 50s. ;
Currants are sought after; Red Smyrna Raisins are now very
scarce, 60e. was given yesterday : the holders are demanding higher
prices. Valentias also are higher, and it is with difficulty any can
be obtained. There is a less stock of Fruit in the market at the
close of the season this year than there has been for some years
past, and therefore holds out rather a (loci:table prospect for the
imports of new ; in addition to which, the Fruit in the South of
Spain is reported to be nearly destroyed by the rains.
COCOA.-38 bass, 33 barrels Grenada Cocoa, by public sale on
Tuesday, 64'. a 67.
TALLOW.-The Tallow market is rather higher; the new is
to.day 36e, and for late arrivals Ms. 6d.
SPICES.-The request for light Pepper continues, Sid. a 611 d ;
Nutmegs Mn 3d. a be. 641.; all other Spices continue neglected.
SA LTPETRE.-Thite is matte business doing in Saltpetre, and
at higher prices, 245. gd. a 233.61.

ROBBIRY.—.I few nights act) the warehouse of Messrs.
Price and Gifford. No. 7, Suffolk-lane, Upper Thames-street,
was broken into, and the robbers carried off 2001bs. wei);ht
of segars, a quantity of Paddy bird feathers and tippets, and about
40Ibs. of tine leaf isinglvvs. A liberal meant has been offered by
Messrs. Price and Gifford for the discovery of the thieves. •
