COTTON-Th.:l.7ml!lbws continue watching the market, but
they do not puchase, in the expectation that the prices .will be at:::
lower ; quotations are entirely nominal, the business here no,.
pended, and will probably continue so till the sale on Friday next.

Si-GAM-The transactions in the Sugar market last week were
limited, as the holders were hem and would not give way in the
prices, and the buyers declined purchasing, except for their imme.
diate wants • the ecureity of good sugar was, however, so severely
felt on the close of the market last week. that the prices were re-
ported na. to ls. per cwt. higher. A fine board of Muscovadea
realised Ifs. The great deficiency of the stock of Sugars compared
with last year attracts much attention : it is nearly 18.000 casks
less, which would requite the cargoes of nearly 54:1 vessels to make
it equal to the stock of last year. The trade were in consequence
early at market this morning, but the show of Sugars was still very
limited ; as the day advanced the buyers became eager to purehaae,
and at the close of the market nearly the whole bf the Sugars an show
were sold at a further advance of Is. on the prices of Friday ; thecsti.
mated sales 2500 hhds. The pitbli c sale of Barbadoes went off Is. a Is.
641. higher. In thertefined market last week there was an !mprovernent
of Is. per cwt.in fine goods.am the wholesale grocers purchased largely
for the home consumption of the country ; the request for low
goods, lumps 86s. a 075., nay rather limited ; the demand for
crushed was considerable. and some large parcels were taken for the
Mediterranean at 425. a 495. The Refined market is uncommonly
brisk this morning, at an advance of Is. a 2s. ; some low lumps
C7s., but it is difficult to purchase at that rate ; fine goods ate also
at the improvement of about 2s. Molasses 31. By public sale on
Friday ttno chests Havannah sugar were all washed, and form no
esitevion of the market prices ; Gil chests Brazil sold higher,
455. a 49s 6d. There is much interest excited in the Sugar market
by a public sale of al auritiva Sttgar advertised for sale, about 7,000
bags, which was expected to be increased to 10.000 bags ; the whole
and a further quantity. has been purchased privately on speculation,
making the purchases about 18,000 bags, value above 40,00Q1. : it
is reported three extensive houses are connected in the speculation,
and that it extends generally to Sugars. The public sale of 410'
bags Bengal Sugar ' to.day sold Is. higher; good white 375. a
395. 61.. damp 345. Gd. a 375.
COFFEE.-Towards the close of last week there was a general
improvement in the demand for Coffee, and every description of
British Plantation and Foreign sold at higher prices ; St. Domingo
625. There were two public sales this forenoon ; the greater pro-
portion Jamaica ; good ordinary 645. a fias., fine ordinary 70s. a 724.,
good middling 925.; ordinary La Ouyra 60s. fid. The Coffee
market to-day is heavy but not lower ; for good quality St. Do-
mingo 62e. is refused, and for fine ordinary Brazil R3s. refused.
TOBACCO.-The speculators continue to take all the Tobacto
that arrives at this market ; several new buyers have appeared sod
purchase' largely ; since this day week we estimate the quantity
sold and changing hands at 3,000 hhds., including some purchases
at Liverpool on London account ; the prices are again-id. toad.
per lb. higher ; no Virginias offer under 54. d. ; the quotations may
be given 04d. to 10d. ; Kentucky 50. to Ild.
INDIGO-The sale which commenced on the 12th iastant
• finished yesterday, viz. 8,130 chests. The fine shipping Indigo
sold from 2s. Gil. a 3s. per lb., and the good middling and-middling
shipping sore from 24. a 2s. Gd. per lb. lower than last sale ; and
the consuming descriptions from 2s. a 3e. per lb. lower. The
Madras went from nearly last sale's prices to fid. a Is. per lb. lower.
Fine and goad Oude (of which there were bat few) sold from6d. a
6(1. per lb. lower ; and the ordinary and bad at nearly the name
prices. The sale supported itself throughout with great firmness,
and buyers seemed anxious to purchase at the present reduced
prices. It may be calculated that not more than about 1,5Y0 chesta
have been bought in by the proprietors.
SPICES.-Nutmegs continue inquired after, 4s. N. ;
light Pepper at qd. ; all other East India Spice, neglected. Pi-
mento sells lap. a 101 d.
Slla.-The Silk market continues very heavy and lower.
MOPS.-The prices of Hops are little varied ; the market in
firm at last week's quotations, 16!. to 181. 18s. The duty is esti-
mated 18,0001. to 20.000/. The accounts from the Hop Plantation.
state, where there is the least hope the plant is getting more dean,
and coining into Burr; but generally the reports are as unfavour-
able as ever, and the planters giving up all hopes of any crop, as
the shoots which last week made an effort are again going off, and
full of vermin.

11E3113. FLAX, and TA LLOW.—The arrivals from the
Baltic within the lest few days are immense, and though they were
anticipated, yet still an effect is felt. Tallow is very heavy ; the
new at 353. 6d. a 86s. Hemp and Flax are at thefeeVious qubta-
tiona. which are nearly nominal.

At a late hour to.clay Baltic produce 'appeared to be held with
great firmness ; no sellers of the new Tallow at 355. fid.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum market
continues firm, but the business reported is not extensive, 220
puncheons [Rewards proofs and 2 and 3 over have been sold to a
rectifier, which is the first sale since the new regulations of Go-
vernment. end it has creattd some interest, as it cannot be manu-
factured till the sth January ; the other sales of Rum are incon-
siderable ; the nearest quotation of proofs is still 25., fine Jamaica
for home consumption 3s. 4d. The Trade purchase small parcels
of first marks Brandy housed at 3s. Id. ; Bordeaux 2s. a 2s. Id.
Geneva remains Is. 101 ; the pale scarce.
TEA.—Twankeys are hardly to be met with at 2,!4. to 3d. pet,
and Congous are in brisk demand at Id. to lid. advance ; Hysons
also command some attention at lit. a 2d. premium.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—The government contract has as yet
little effect on Provisions. Bacon is steady. Irish Butters have
advanced ; the Dutch maintains the late prices.
