MARKETS.

t From the London New Prier Currrnt.l
TUESDAY, SEPT. G, 1825.
COTTON.—There was rather more inquiry for Cotton last week
for export, which was met more freely by the holders at the reduced
rates; about 2600 bales were sold, of which 1800 were for export, the
remainder for consumption and to speculators.
The demand for export continued considerable both yester-
day and this forenoon ; about 150 Pemams sold at 12 d.
for export : the orders for Pernarne are still extensive, but generally
limited to prices below the present currency ; the other sales yester-
day and this forenoon are small parcels Bengals. Gd. a 6id.; ordin-
ary Surat, fild. and Boweds BAd.
SUGAR.—The Sugar market was very heavy during the last
week, yet the holders were firm, and as they evinced no disposition
to forte sales, there was little business effected ; the few purchases
made were however a shade lower.—The market this morning has
been very heavy, chiefly owing to the delivery being nearly 1000
casks short of the comparative seek of last year: the buyers, in
consequence, evince not the slightest wish to purchase, and only
buy for their immediate wants ; we cannot, however, quote any
general redaction in the currency. The purchases of Aluscovades
to-day do not exceed 200 hhds.; there is no alteration in the prices.
The public sale of Barbadoes Sugar, 118 Wide, went off at very
full market prices, Ms. 6d. a 765. litl.—ln the Refined market last
week there were few sales effected ; some purchases toe small extent
were reported of low lumps at 8131. and in crashed Sugar for the
Mediterranean ; but for fine goods there was little inquiry.—For
Molasses 314. was asked, bu,..it could not be obtained generally, or
to any extent. There is rather more business doing in Refined
goods, low Lumps cannot be purchased under 86s. Gd. ; fine goods
and crushed are neglected ; there are purchases of Molasses at 31s.
to-day—ln Foreign Sugars very few purchases are lately reported.
There is rather more inquiry to-day for East Inuia. particularly for
Siam Sugers, which are low in proportion; also for white Haven-
nah Sultans.
COI.FEE.—The public sales of Coffee last week went off
heavily, and the Foreign descriptions were a shade lower ; St. Do-
mingo 60s. Gd. ; Brasil 595. a 635. The British Plantation de-
scriptions were dull, but no reduction in the prices can be stated.
The public sale to-day, consisting of 173 casks 40 bags British
Plantation Coffee, went off with much spirit, at rather higher
prices, very good ordinary Jamaica Ms. a filis. Gd.. gbod middling
9.is. and 96e. ; fine fine ordinary Demerara 80s. The Coffee market
is much changed to-day ; it looks very firm.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The Tallow market is
rather on the advance, and to-day it looks firm at the improve-
ment ; the new to-day 378.—Hemp and Flax are steady, at the pre-
vious prices.
SPICES.—The only sales of East India Spices are Nutmegs,
Tam. lid. a fis. 2d. ; all other descriptions are, however, nominally
lower, being offered at a small reduction. without facilitating
sales.

---
INDIGO.—The request for East India descriptions continues ;
the premium on the last sale is Pvl. on the ordinary, and 9d. a Is.
per lb. on good and tine. A public sale of Guatemala Indigo on
Friday went 6d. per lb. lower than last sale ; the quality was very
inferior.

RUM BRANDY. and 1101.1 ANDS---The Rum market has
been more firm since the government contract for 150.000 gallons
was declared ; the nearest quotation of proofs is Is. Ild., but no
purchases are reported ; the fine Jamaica, for home consumption.
maintains high prices ; 100 puncheons averaging 29 over sold at
3s. &I.—Brandy is in improving demand, particularly parcels snit
able for home consumption, and newly landed, for which 31. 3d•
bas been obtained. Pale Banta on the gaily 14. lid.
