(From the inudon NcillPrice Current of Friday, July 14.1

COTTON—The purchues Cotton for the week ending lea
night inclusive. are nearly 1:00 hags; the particulars ate-470
Swats, 414. a 5,14 ; 40 nengals, 544.; 10 Bowed', Rid.; 50 Egyp.
tian, duty paid, 70.. The inquiries after Crttnn this morning sp.
pear more limited than taus!, on account of the unfavourah!e cc.
counts from the country. The tetttrs from Liverpool state the sdet
of Cotten on Wednesday were only UV bags ; the prices agael

SUDAB.—The Sugar market Is withouevariation thin week;
the quantity of gm d and tine 51uscovades offering fix gale has been
so inconsiderable, that the prices are rather higher ; the Sumo
62a. a 55a. are offered Feely, and are lower, but for the very las
brown them continues to be inquiries for export, also by the
grocers for the country trade, we believe chiefly for the domestic
purposes usual at this season. At the close of the market this der
there was no new feature, still the starchy of good Sugars ; but is
there are a great number of vessels In the docks to unload, the
buyers evince little inclination to purchase, anticipating a plent.ful
supply of good new Muscovades next week. In the Relined market
there is (nothing new to report; the shippers do rot purchase:
lumps are nominally 745. The wholesale grocers purchase for the
country trade where.goods are offering cheap ; the prices are still a
shade lower, as there is now no competition of buyers. Alpheus
are 255. a 245. 6d. The public sale of Mauritius Sugar this week
went off freely, without any variation as to prices. In Havanrah
or Brazil Sugars there is no alteration ; the only sale. we are aline
of is a parcel of good white Ilavannah Sugar, averaging 395.
COFFEE.—The public sales of Coffee this week have gone off
heavily, and as the principal brokers appear decided rollers, a re.
duction of about 2s. per cwt. hen taken place in the prices of British
Plantation Coffee; Jamaica, good ordinary, 48s. a 515.; fine or.
dir.ary, 535. a K f
s. The public sale this renoon, 134 casks 149
bags British Plantation, 217 bags lirazil : the latter, tine ordinary,
sold 455. and 455. 6t1., which was higher than generally estimated,
and higher in proportion than St. Domingo ; the remainder of the
sale ordinary low Dutch qualities ; good ordinary, 484.
TOBACCO.—There is no business effected in Tobacco worth
reporting; the sales are confined to small panda for the innnetli.
are consumption of the trade. As several ridiculous s:atements
have lately been published respecting the Tobacco duty, we are re.
quested to state Tobacco may be imported from all Foreign places
at a duty of 3s. per lb. (direct), and from ete British Piantatioes
2s. 9d.; a petition is now going forward, that small packages may
be permitted to be packed into one, but the petition is not yet an.
swered. . . .

Rust, BRANDY, HOLLANDS.—There is a marked is,.
crease in the inquiries after Rum, and though the sales are not yet
extensive, yet there is every appearance of a considerable rev
in the trade ; the demand is fot export and also on speculation ilw
latter is in conset.luenee of the unfavourable reports of die .:ring
Corn, but the principal holders evince no i"clination at present to
meet the demand, as they speculate on a rise of English spirit, in
consequence of the deficiency in Barley, and, as a matter of
course, a great increase in the consumption of Foreign spirits, par.
titularly Rum, on account of the low price ; proof Leesanis are
still nominally Is. 9d. a Is. 10d. per new gallon.—The only sales
of Brandy we are aware of are parcels landed in 1823( we believe 2UO
puncheons) of best marks, at 2s. 10d. per old gallon.—ln Geneva
there is no material alteration. At a late hour to.day Jamaica
Rum, 32 over sold at 3s. 2d. ; for 80, 3s. offered, and no !Agnelli
under Is. 10d.
11E31P, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The demand for Tallow is
rather improved; di.; nearest price to day is 325. fid. ; Hemp 391.;
for Flax there are extensive inquiries, on account of the destine.
don of the crop, particularly in Ireland, in Holland, and in Pon.
tiers ; the reports from Russia are also unfavourable ; for 12 heel
Flax 321., for Pl' R 38/. The last letters from St. Petersburgli
state the Exchange 91(1.
OILS.—The prices are nearly nominal; the trade wait for .her
account of the northern fisheries.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—Beef and Pork ungraded; Bacon
still in great demand ; the advance of Ifis. in Butters is maintained
TEA.—The declaration of the sale fir the fith September
7,300,0001b5. came out yesterday, and, Irving the same as last year,
produced no alteration on the market prices.
