MARKE7'S.

CORN-EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, Mar 20.
The supplies this week have been inconsiderable, consisting only
of 3,400 quarters Wheat, 1,100 9uartera Barley, and 4,100 quarters
Oats, with 6,200 sacks Flour. fhe 11-heat trade has been exceed.
ingly dull all the morning, and even fine samples barely support
Monday's currency, and the inferior are unsaleable. Barley was
in very limited demand, and the prices a turn lower. We had a
few needy buyers of Oats, who very unwillingly gave Monday's
prices, but to force sales at all lower prices must be accepted.
Beans and Peas both heavy sale, but not cheaper.

FRIDAY, MAT 20.
COTTON.—The decline in the prices of Cotton at Liverpool is
about Id. per lb. from the late high quotations; but the request is
again expected in that market next week, as the trade are reported
to be out of stock in the manufacturing districts. In London there
have been few sr no sales for the last week ; there are no parcels
pre. sing on the market : the former prices could not, however, be
realised in the present languid state of the market.
SUGAR.—The Sugar market advanced Is. fid. on the brown,
and is. on the finer qualities, on Tuesday ; since which there has
been a steady demand without the slightest variation in the cur-
rency. As this day advanced the request for Aluscovades berarpe
general and extensive, and nearly all the Sugars on sale were di,_
posed of at a further improvement of 6d. a la. since Tuesday. The
Refined market is firm ; very few low lumps are to be bought at
85s. ; the finer qualities are in better supply, and rate low in pro.
portion.—Molasses are 28s. The holders of Foreign and East
India Sugars asked prices 2s. higher on Tuesday last; this has
prevented much business, which otherwise would have taken place;
to-day, however, there seems to be some disposition to purchase at
the advance, particularly Bourbon Sugars.
COFFEE.—The public sales of Coffee this week have gone off
very heavily and a shade lower, but we cannot for the present alter
oar quotations; some parcels of St. Domingo have been forced off
at 625. 6d. and 635., but we would quote 635. a 645. as the nearest
market rate. There were no public sales this forenoon. At a late
hour to.day the request for Coffee greatly revived ; for 220 laws
St. Domingo 645. was paid, and for several parcels 6:4. refused ;
fine ordinary Brazil 66a. `
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum market is
quite in a nominal state ; the purchases reported are very limited ;
the holders do not appear inclined to sell, till the question of the
Rums expected to be used in distilleries is finally settled.—Brandy
is very heavy, and offered on lower terms, without facilitating
sales ; parcels to arrive Ss. 2d., sehers, and housed of last year,
Ss. 3d.—ln Geneva no sales are lately reported. Towards the close
of the day the request for Rum rather revived ; Is. id. was refused
for proof Leewards

11E31P and TALLOW.—The price of new Tallow is 365. ;
the market still heavy._Hemp maintains the late advance ; the
new 43/. By public sale this forenoon, 400 casks yellow candle
Tallow, shipwrecked in the Baltic last year, sold 31s. 91. and 355.
The quotations of new continues 355. 9d. a 365.
SPlCES.—Cinnamon of the hat sale maintains a premium of
3d. aW. per lb.; all other Spices are dull and rather lower. Nut-
megs reported at ss. 9d., but the sale today will regulate the future
prices. By public sale this forenoon, 62 casks Nutmegs, sold, the
goot. quality be. Id. a 61..3d. ; inferior, 4s ed. a es. 61
RICE.—The good new Carolina Rice sold at 3.55.; the holders
now will not sell under 375.; 390 bags Bengal, of fair white
quality, sold a! 18s. 6d.

The Fortitude, Resolution, Brunswick, and Albion

grants for Upper Canada, in excellent spirits.
