COFFEE.—There was several considerable public aka d

last week, and a very considerable proportion of the quantity en
taken in, on account of the languid demand ; the prices wet qty

crease; the market this forenoon has been uncommonly heavy, but
1 we cannot quote any further reduction in the prices. In the Refined
market last week the purchases reported were inconsiderable ;• the
holders were, however, eager to sell, and some parcels of bran
jas, Lumps were forced off so low as 735. 755. 6d.; the market gem.

general quotation was 765. for brown ...imps ; in the otdactip.
:tons there were very few sales T id, and the market was un-
commonly heavy. Molasses declined Ns. 6d. Notwithstanding
the reduction in the prices of raw Su the Refined matte as..
tinues to support the late currency, no doubt owing to dewy
low comparative price of Refined compared with me f.,41:1 ; the
low descriptions appear getting scarce this morning, and midi
with more firmness than last week ; in the other qualities few par.
chases are reported, and the late nominal prices are maintaiard
Molasses remain at 265. 6d. In Foreign Sugars no mimes
were reported.
RU3, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—In Rums :hue ban
been no purchases lately to any extent ; the quotations are in ma.
sequence nearly nominal : in the present languid and deposed
state of the trade it would be difficult to sell proof brews:6u
la. 541., yet the market cannot be stated at a lower rate. In Bracer
there has been • great heaviness, and there have been many selLn
at 2s. 10d. five on board to arrive ; the market must now be mini
21. 10d. a 2s. I Id. Geneva remains at the late reduced prices, pie

duetion in the currency had taken place in Geneva.

demand for Tallow subsided last week, and on the Friday dada
mud became exceedingly heavy at 345. 6d. a 345. 3d. fa plow

-also been in request, and prices a shade higher than our quotation
have been obtained ; the quotation to-day is 91. es. • lOL 6s.
RICE.—The demand for Rice continues languid ; some gaol
new Carolina has been sold so low as 301. ; it would, however, be
difficult to purchase at such a low rate.

animas of the holden ; the premium of about Is. 61 per lb. g
