CORN EXCIIANCiE, FRIDAY, Aran 22.

Our Market continues to be but thinly supplied with min, th e
arrivals this week being only 4..31141 quarters of Wheat, .I.Mequ sr.
ten of Burley, 5,675 quarters of Oats, with 3,300 sacks of Flow.
The Wheat trade was again very heavy, and for the few sties
realized Monday's currency was barely supported. Hanley was In
little request, and rather cheaper, but Oats went dr pretty freely
on full as good terms as on Monday. Beans and Pease, without
alteration is prices, but extremely dull sale.

(From the London Arca Price Current(
COTTON.—There has been a very fair inquiry in our Cotton
market this week, and about 2,500 bales have beefi taken by the
trade, and on speculation. Boweds have been much wanted by
shippers,
..and some advance has been paid for the better descrip-
tions, which are now very scarce.
SUGAR.—EarIy in the week the Sugar market opened with
much firmness, and the sales were considerable, at an advance of
Cs. a Is. per cwt.; since then the inquiries have continued, but the
purchases reported are rather limited. In Refined goods there Ku
been a very considerable business effected, notwithstanding the
holidays; very little variation in the prices can be stated. Mo.
!saxes 265. Havannah Sugars are inquired after; middling to fins
white Rio Sugars have sold 31s. a 345. By public sale on Wed-
nesday, 2.479 bags East India Sugars sold 2s. per cwt. lower.
COFFEE.—The three public sales yesterday went off heavily ;
the Jamaica and St. Domingo supported the previous prices; the
Brazil Coffee commenced about 2s. lower, but, as the sale pro-
ceeded, the market again advanced to the previous currency. That
were no public sales this forenoon, and no purchases whatever by
private contract are reported.
Rl.'M, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS —There is agreat alarm
in the Spirit market, on account of the failures: two are declared
to a considerable amount; the prices of Rum are completely nomi-
nal ; the quotations could not be realised. Brandy mar also he
purchased considerably lower, but as no sales at a reduction ate yet
announced, we cannot quote lower rates. In Geneva there is no
alteration.

FRIAT.—The arrivah this week have been ruler extensive:
two cargoes of Currants and two of Denies In baskets, and four
parcels of Turkey Raisins; for the latter descriptions the demand
is rather improving for the home trade; Denial are lower; Cur-
rants very little doing; and in the other descriptions there is no
alteration.

—....
INDIGO.—The Indigo sale, which commenced on the 21st
instant, is going higher than the January sale, from 21. 6d. a 3s.
per lb. on the fine, and 3a. a 3s. 3d. per lb. on the good and mid-
ding qualities; the highest price given is 13s. per lb., and the
lowest Bs. 9d. per lb., with scarcely any thing under 10s.; at pre-
sent only 1,922 chests are sold, but the sale is expected to cies! on
Thursday next ; no Madras or Oude sold yet, therefore the price,
cannot be quoted.
RICE.—IIy public sale this forenoon 71 trs. good old Carolina
Rice sold 295. 6d. a 30s. ; one lot good new 325. 611.
COCOA.—By public sale this forenoon, 133 bags St. Lucia Co.
cos, good quality, sold at 112 s. 6d. a 113 s. 6d.
TALLOW has again become exceedingly heavy, and for new
yellow candle Tallow here the nearest quotation is 34a. 6d.
011.5.—Fish Oils continue steady. Seed Oils are in more re-
quest, at an advancing currency.
SI LK.—There are no alterations in the prices of Silk ; the mar-
ket has again become rather languid.
SPICES.--Spices are without alteration; Cinnamon supports
the late great advance.
