MARKETS.

[From the London New Price Curecnt.l
FaIDAT, MAT 19.
COTTON.—The purchases of Cotton this week are confined to about
400 bags, chiefly Surats, 44d. a Md. ; the business would have been much
more considerable, but that the holders are 'eking higher prices, and ap-
pear not at all anxious to effect sales. From Liverpool the accounts are
favourable; there was a steady demand for Cotton; on Tuesday, 2,600 bags
sold; on Wednesday 2,000 bags, at prices about id. higher, and the Cotton
reported for Immediate manufacturing. At Manchester flue wee rather
more firmness, particularly in Yarns.
SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades this week has been limited,
owing to the small supplies at market, and the buyers waiting the antici-
pated extensive arrivals; there is no alteration whatever In the prices, if
we except the few parcels of good, which appear to be held with much
firmness. There is an Improvement in the Refund market; no Lumps
now offer under SOL, and the trade is brisk ; the wholesale grocers have
also purchased very considerable parcels of tine goods fur home cunsump-
tion. Molasses are brisk at 265. The cause of the demand and advance
of Refined Sugar Is In some measure owing to the withdrawing one-tenth
of the bounty, sth July, say 4s. 7d. per cwt. In Foreign Sugars few sales
are lately reported. Several public and private purchases of East India
have taken place during the week. The large public sales to-day attracted
much attention.
COFFEE.—The public sales early in the week went off heavily, and
a considerable parcel of very ordinary St. Domingo sold at 459. fid. The
public sales of Coffee to-day have gone off with some spirit : 300 bags St.
Domingo ordinary sold 455. 6d. ; 523 bags Revenants, good ordinary but
brown, 465. up to bSs. for the fine ordinary coloury. We quote the prices
of Foreign Is. a 2s. higher. There has not been & sufficient quantity of
British Plantation descriptions sold to constitute a currency.
RlCE.—There la very little business doing in Rice. Bengal white 13s.
a Ills. ; Paints 20s. ; old Carolina 315., new 37e.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The purchases of Rum this week
are confined to a few Leewards for shipping, about 2e. a 2e. Id. per impe-
rial, and some fine Jamaican for home consumption. The purchases of
Brandy are not extensive. Inconsiderable sales of Rani and Geneva have
been effected.
TOBACCO.—The purchases of Tobacco within the last week are nearly
300 Mids.; they convict of Virginia strips at hid., Lest at 5d., and some
Brown Leaf Maryland, at sd.

SALTPETRE.L-2344 bags, by public sale, 20s. 6d., bought In.
FRUlT.—There Is no very material alteration to be noticed this week.
A parcel of very inferior Valentlas was sold last week at a very low price.
HEMP and TALLOW.—The Tallow market continues heavy, 325. 3d.
■ 325. 6d. Hemp 411. 10s.
SPICES.—There bas been little or no business since the East India
Howe sale ; the prices are in consequence nearly nominal.
PEPPEB.—By public sale this forenoon, 43 bags good light 41d a 44d.
CORN- EXC RANGE, FRIDAY, MAY 19.
Oar supplies this week consist of—Flour 4000 sacks, Wheat SI6O quar-
ters, Barley 250 quarters, Oats 7300 quarters. The few samples of fine
Wheat at market to-day were taken off at about Monday's currency, but
there was little or no sale for the Inferior qualities. We have not to note
any variation In the value of Barley, Beans, or Peas. The demand for
Oats was principally by country dealers, and in some Instances a small
increase on Monday's rates was obtained.

SMITHFIELD, FRIDAY, MAY 19.
Notwithstanding we have a very limited supply of Beasts here this
morning, ro slack Is the demand, that the trade is extrembly heavy, and
scarcely any sales have been effecter!: the very best sorts are to be pur
chased this morning at 4s. M. per stone. Mutton and Lamb are here In
abundance : the former Is very dull of sale, although 4d. pot stone less is
taken than on Monday. Lamb, on the contrary, in consequence of the
changisof weather, is more In request, and has advanced 44., with no want
of purchasers at that rate. The Veal trade Is brisk at the prices of Mon-
day, the quantity here being short. In Park we Ond no alteration.

FOR IMPROVING THE GROWTH OF HAIR.
r FOX, Hair-Cutter to his Royal Highncss Prir.,e
fel • Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, begs leave to recommend to
Ladies and Gentlemen, with a confidence resulting from a bog
trial of its superior excellence, his VEGETABLE CREAM, as
the most elegant and efficacious article now in use, for imparting a
delicate softness and luxuriant gloss to the Human Hair, whichit
strengthens and preserves. Its surprising property of restorieg
H sir on bald places; preventing Its falling off after fevers, Sea
Bathing, Travelling, and from other causes, as well as preserving
the Colour and Curl, infallibly renders it a desideratum to the
Fashionable World. A single trial will establish its superiority
over Oils, or any other article ever made use of for the Hair.

Manufactory, No. 456, Strand, London ; and by most respectable
Perfumers, in town and country) in Bottles, as. 6d. and is. each;
