MARKETS.

[From the New London Price Current.]
TURSO•Y, MARCH it
COTTON.—There was a steady demand for Cotton last week, priori.
pally for export to France; some Sarah+ have been taken for commis.
tion, and American on speculation. The sales are about 3,600 bales,
vin,-2,000 sway,' tad. a Sid. for choice; 6110 Bowels, 70. a 7irl. to
good new ; and Permutes at 100. ; prices may be convidered a little
higher than last week. Yesterday and this forenoon these h great brisk.
cress in the Cotton trade; and we estimate the sales on 'Change yesterday
at 1,100 bags, principally Peroams and Boweds; there was no advance
in the prices.

SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovado last week was steady, and the
advag .e we stated on Tuesday last was firmly maintained; the average
sales were nearly 1,000 hhds. Sugar each day. The Sugar market as-
sumed igsuch firmness this morning, on account of the favourable report
of the delivery last week from the West India warehouses. It is nearly
1,200 cr-aks more than the corresponding week of last year, 'manse stock
Is now only about 0,0110 casks more than in 1623. The buyers come for-
ward early to purchase, and we estimate the quantity, with the pet&
sale, at 1,200 casks the strong working Sugars are again birher ; the
others unfurled. The Barbadoes public sale, 140 Mad*. went off with
great briskuesa, Ns. a 735. about 2s. higher than the last sale. The
buyers of Relined goods came freely forward last week, and the stock is
in consequence much reduced ; only one or two parcels of Lumps were
left on the market, and none under 775. ; Molasses were 245. Gd. There
are scarcely any low goods left unsold in the market, and few LamM
could be purchased at any price ; we quote 775. a 7so. ; but, we believe,
it would be difficult to purchase at the (urine,. Molasses have advanced
from 24e. Bd. a 265. 6d. The wholesale grocers have purchased fine goods
rather extensively, but to-day the request is nut so general. The Sopm
of the last East India sale realised an advance of Is. dd. a 2s. per cwt.;
in foreign Sugars no purchases were reported.
COFFEE.—'there were nu public sales of Coffee after the day of our
publication Mat week ; the Inquiries were however extensive, and the
buyers came forward freely to purchase ; some parcels of St. Domingo
were bought at b2s. and b3a. but from the apparent clump of 'Wain, the
gloom in the money market rather subsiding, the holders refused to sel,
otherwise very extensive transactions would have taken place. The pub-
lie sale to-day, consisting of 110 casks IS bags Demerara and Jamaica
Coffee, *old heavily at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. ; ordinary mid-
dling Demerara 70s. middling 735. ; good ordinary mixed Jamaica SIB.
fine ordinary Stis. Bd. The request for St. Domingo and for large panda
of Coffee continued to-day, but we believe no sales of any extent are re-
ported. St. Domingo is nominally 321. to 535. but, in consequence of the
public sale, we state the market very heavy.
SPICES.—The former brisk demand for Spices has subsided cons!.
derably ; there are still inquiries made after Nutmegs and Pepper.
FRUIT.—Some export orders fur Red Smyrna Raisins were executed
last week, the prices being sufficiently low ; the quantity of Bed Smyrna
Raisins and Turkey Figs exported dining the last fortnight has been Very
extensive : for the home trade there is very little animation, and the pur-
chases continue to be confined to small parcels, at very low prices.
TEA.—We gave the particulars of the first day's sale heat Tnesday ;
the sale has proceeded, Congos,s have advanced from id. a Id. per lb.
compared with the first day's sale, and Hawaii of the Congou kind tech
2d. a 3d. profit. We have Inserted the quotations of the descriptive.
sold; the sale Is expected to close on Friday next.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—TaIIow Is steady at 335. ; Hemp from
411. advanced to 421. on account of the Government contract. Heap
from Austria and Chili is now accepted, and adequate time given for the
delivery. In Flax there Is little doing. The Exchange from St, Peters-
burgh comes lower, lately quoted at 10d. now
SILK.—The Silk market remains In a very languid and depressed due.
NAVAL STORES.—The cargo of 1,:c00 barrels Turpentine, landed come
weeks ago, sold at 10s. Spirits are in more request, at advancing prices.
la Tar, Pitch, or Rosin, there to no alteration.
OlLS.—Fish Oils are heavy and lower ; the Inquiries for Linseed Oil
have Increased, the prices are also a shade higher.
TOBACCO.—There were some purchases of Tobacco yesterday, io
anticipation of a reduction of duty; but the Chancellor of the F.ichccal.
last night, in place of further reduction, threatens to make the track "Y
up the chance medley, Is. per lb. duty omitted by the Govermnentamb-
titles this is not however generally anticipated, and the duty of .4s. per
lb. may now be considered permanent. There are no sales of 'fonorvo
to-clay.
RU If, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Spirit market in In swat of
complete stagnation. The English distillers, who are exceedingly
appear determined to keep the Scotch and Irish Whiskey out of the mu'
ket for home consumption ; and (according to report), acting upon 1_12,1
system, they again reduced the price of malt spirit yesterday Is. Pr r 7
ion, making a reduction la all of about 10.9 d. per gallon on English Gis,
the consequence Is, to-day there Is a complete stagnation of business. and
the pekes quoted are entirely aorninal. According tailrace's' Pr 01,044
