[From the Logdox New Price Currext.J

FRUIT.—By private contract there appear to have been very
little doing lately; a public sale was attempted yesterday, a few
damaged l'arabouma Raisins were sold from 40e. a 475., Black
Smyrna" all out, Leda Raisins We. a as. appeared to have been
bought in, Faro Figs 151. a NU., Malaga ditto 32a. Jordan Al.
I needs 131. 13e. horsy; Zante Cumuds 105 s. a 166 x., scarcely any
thing appeared to have been sold.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS—The Rum market has
become quiet, but the late prices are maintained; the great pro-
portion of the Jamaica' in importers' bands are sold either to
speculators or to the trade. Brandies are firm, and rather looking
up.
M.ln Geneva there is little attendee ; inferior quality 2a, pale
2s.

TALLOW.—The market remains very depressed, and it fa
difficult yet to state the effect of the failure we mentioned in our
last : from 2,000 to 3,000 casks of Tallow have already been thrown
en the maket, and had pet shespeadatoes taken it op Immediately,
a considerable depresaiaa,wooki lola taken place ; the nearest quo-
tations of yellow candle Tallow Is to-day 345.
SUGAR.—The BOW imam was pardadarly heavy_ early in
this week, and though all greaShasialess was yesterday erected, yet
the holders evince mote firma@ than for sane days preceding, and
will submit to no redaction-to facilitate sales; the prices are no_
! minally the lame as on this day week the few poach fenced off
have sold at prices a shade under the quoted currency. The very
depressed prices of refined goods appear to have attracted some at-
tendon ; the exporters have been making inquiries; but at present
no purchases to any extent are repaired ; the prices remain without
variation. Molasses are 275. fid. - lilt Foreign Sugars, no purchases
whatever are reported.
COFFEE—There have been no public sales of Coffee this week
until yesterday ; the purchases by private contract are too limited
to fix a market currency. The public sale yesterday maimed of
45 casks Jamaica, and 800 bags and casks St. Domiogo ; the for-
mer sold freely, and at rather higher prices ; fine ordinary 83s. to
84s. ; middling 90a. • middling ordinary St. Domingo Ills. and
68s. • first class damaged 113 s. a 861. ;by private contract good or-
dinal; St. Domingo has been sold at 725.
COTTON.—Our Cotton market, in the face of the approaching
India sale, has become somewhat languid, though we can notice
no alteration in price; the safes are too inconsiderable to enume-
rate. The Company's Bengali are taxed at hid. The letters
from Liverpool yesterday state that market heavy : about 1,200
bags of Cotton were sold on Wednesday, at prices rather lower;
the holders of Brazil descriptions had withdrawn their Cottons from
sale, on account of the political intelligence lately received.
INDIGO.—The East India Company's sale of Indigo which
commenced on Tuesday last, terminated on Thursday. Th'e roan-
Sty declared was 3,721 chests, from which several parcels were
withdrawn previous to the commencement, leaving only 2,899
chests, viz. 1,848 Bengal, 1,200 Oude, and 51 Madras. The sale
commenced and continual throughout with great animation, and
at a considerable advance, compared with the sale in October last,
viz. from is. t 0,:.. lid. per pound on tile good and fine qualities
suitable for exportation, dd. to Is. on the middling and ordinary
qualities suitable for home consumption, and 3d. to 6d. on the
good and middling Oude. About 450 chests of Bengal, and 850
chests of Oude, have been bought in by the proprietors, who mani-
fested great firmness, sod seemed determined not to sell but at
good prices.
