MARKETS.

[From the London Neu, Price Current of Tuesday, Sept• 20. j

COT TON.—The demand in our Cotton market last week was COD.
siderable, and almost entirely for export, the sales amounting to
nearly 5,000 bales, viz. ; in bond, !,000 Bengals, middling 511,
fair aid a 6d, good fair to good Gid a fled ; 1.300 Sonata, ordinary
and middlinl 6d a bid, fair 6}d a Gtd, good fair 60 a Gid, and
good 7d a 7 d ; 200 Boweds, tair to good fair Bid a Sid ; 500
P'ernams 12i a 124 d; and duty raid, 800 Egyptians, fair, at public
sale, 11d. I'he holders of India Cotton have been most anxious
sellers, and Surats may be quoted id per lb. lower. The Egyp.
dans were withdrawn at I ld, but are said to have been taken since
by a speculator.
COFFEE.—The public sales of British Plantation Coffee last
week went off steadily and at full prices ; the Foreign descrip.
dons were dull and rather letter; good ordinary St. Domingo
605; good ordinary Cuba 645, tine ordinary 65s and 66s ; good or-
dinary Brazil fiOs.
The public sale this forenoon consisted of Jamaica descriptions,
which sold at tail prices : good ordinary colour y &is a 661, floe ordi-
nary 73s a 7.15, tine fine ordinary 77e, middling 83s a 655, good mid.
cluing 955. There are no contracts of Foreign repotted ; St. Do-
mingo eiffit and tiOs ed.
SUGAR.—The demand for Iguscondes last week continued
steadily increasing, and the holders were so firm, that a progressive
advance took place almost every day; the advance during the
'week was about is Gd per cwt.; the strong brown descriptions
rating higher than the fine or any other descriptions ; low strong
brown 688 a 70s, and the finest in the market only selling about 76e
a 80s, a much less difference between the ettreme prices titan usual;
Jamaica Sugars might last week be quoted 67s a 78s, the other fibs
a 76s ; very few of the lowest brown offering at 665. The buyers of
Sugars were early at market this morning, and apparently with a
desire to purchase largely, as they now find the prices gradually
advancing, a firm market, and deficiency of the stock weekly be.
coming more serious : the deficiency now, compared with last
year's stock at the same period, is about 19,000 casks. The per.
chases of Al uscorades were continued up to an unusually late hour;
one house sold 400 hhds, and we estimate the sales of the day at
1.500 hhds, at a decided improvement on the currency of Friday,
making the advance since this day week 21 per cwt. In the Refined
market last week there was not much business doing, but the hold.
era showed great firmness, and no wish to effect sties, except where
in advance in the prices could be obtained ; tine goods were much
inquired after by the wholesale grocers for the home consumptioit
of the country; no lumps offered under 87s.—Moltuares were brisk
at 32s and 32s ficl. The wholesale grocers caine forward this morn.
ing to purchase Refined goods on an extensive scale ; the come.
quence is, an advance on all grocery goods, 90s and upwards, of
about 2s. this morning ; low goods are without variation ; lumps
67e; the purchases of Molasses are extensive, 32s fid is to-day
the only quotation ; large sales of Bastards at 65s ; the general
quotation (12s a 07s. The inquiries after Foreign Sugars were ge-
neral; but the holders prevented business, by asking higher price%
brown Brazil Sugars, however, sold at 3lis ; yellow Havannah 42s
and 45a.; ter-day brown sold kt 425.
FItIJIT.—A parcel of new French is arrived and now landing; is
is much earlier than usual ; the stock of Red Smyrna Raisins is now
so much reduced that it would be difficult to execute any capers
orders, even at the highest quotation. Other descriptions remain
a s beffire.—The public sale to-day, Cephalonia Currants, new
Preach and Imperial Plums ; nearly the whole taken in, the Cur.
rants at 105 s. and 10th.

HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The Tallow market is
again improving ; the price of the new is to-day 38s. fid., and for
late arrivals 395. fid.—Hemp is also in more demand, and a shade
higher.—ln Flax there is little alteration.
OlLS.—There has been one arrival from the Davis' Straits
Fishery, bringing a very unfavourable report, but the date was old,
end plenty of time left fur fishing; the consequence is, that the ac-
count was little attended to; the change in the market is, sa ad-
vance generally of about 20s. a 404. per tun, and the holders becom-
ing much more firm, and not at all anxious to effect sales, until the
final result as to the fishery is ascertained.
HOPS.—The picking is general, and the reports are still moo
unfavourable; the quantity is about one-half of what was antici-
pated ; the duty has fallen to 24,0001., and the prices have advanced
about 20s. per cwt.; the quality of the new Hops is, however, re-
ported to be very fine.
TEA.—The Tea sale finished at the India House yesterday.
The private trade Teas &reconsidered to have sold on very low until.
SPICES.—The demand for East-India Spices appears to bare
subsided entirely ; there are rather extensive orders in town for
Pepper, but limited to low prices.—Pimento sells 10id. a lid.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum market Is
firm, but without any alteration since our last report; proof Lee-
ward 25.; considerable inquiries for fine Rums for home consurep-
dun ; the market frill probably be without further alteration in
price till the Government contract is taken.—Brandies are held with
much firmness, but the purchases lately reported ire rather op
limited sale.—Pale Geneva Is. I Id. on the quay.
TOBACCO.—The quotations of Tobacco are entirely nominal;
no sales are reported.
