EAST INDIA.-Bengal has fully supported last week's rates,
and in the absence of public sales a good demand has existed
privately from the grocers, and for shipping there has been ra-
ther more request ; 3,300 bags, which were to have been
offered at auction on Tuesday last, were postponed. In Ma-
nilla and Siam there have been no transaction ; the latter of
strong white quality would still find a ready sale at previous
rates, but there is no supply.
FOREIGN.-The supply at market of white Havannah and
Brazil of strong grain being still scanty, the inquiries have
again led to little business privately ; for all other descriptions
a good request has existed, and the public sales have gone off
at fully former rates ; 940 boxes Havannah went at 335. to
365. 6d. for low to good mid. white, washed 295. to 355. 6d.,
ord. to fine yellow 245. to 265., mid. and fine brown 21s. 6d.
to 235. 6d., washed 225. to 255. 6d. ; 70 hhds. Havannah
Muscovadcs sold at 19s. to 20s. for good and fine brown ; 80
chests Bahia fetched 17s. to 19s. 6d. for low and mid. brown,
ord. white 265. 6d., soft 225., and ord. yellow 21s. 6d. to
225. ; on the 31st. instant, 500 chests and barrels Brazil will
be offered at auction ; the private purchases have been 500
chests mid, good yellow Havannah at 245. to 365.
MOLASSES.-The transactions in West India have been
limited ; in the prices no change has occurred.
COFFEE.-The British Plantation Market has been much
in the same state this as last week ; the clean descriptions
continuing still in good demand from the grocers, and fully
fouler rates have been paid, but the unclean sorts have been
taken very sparingly. At public sale 214 bags, sold 60s, to
61s. for ord. unclean Berbice, and 70s. to 755. for good and
fine ord. clean Demerara; .in the prices of the export descrip-
tions of East India there have been no change, but the market
continues extremely quiet. Of Ceylon admissible for home
consumption at the 6d. duty there have been no public sales ;
by private contract there has been a good request from the
grocers at fully former rates, good ord. selling at 765. ; the
holders of Mocha requiring stiffer prices, have prevented much
business privately, 62 bales at auction went at 655. to 735. for
mid. and good ord. yellow. In the prices of Foreign little
change has occurred; there has been rather more business
doing, but the demand at present has been only partial, and
the private purchases have been confined to 700 bags Brazil at
435. to 50s. for ord. to very fine ; 2,245 bags 10 hhds. St.
Domingo at public sale went at 425. 6d. to 465. for good and
fine ord., and 40s. to 425. for low ord., sea damaged first and
second class 38s. to 425. The public sales yesterday afternoon
consisted of 62 casks Berbice and 372 bales Mocha, the former
went at Is. advance, mid, and good at 935. 6d. to 995. 6d.,
broken 603. 6d. to 675., fine ord. 87s. ; the latter sold at stiff
prices, mid. yellow garbled 695. 6d. to 725. 6d., good mid.

Foreign is fiat, and 2,410 bags Guayaquil at auction were
bought in at 355. for fair gray.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-In the Rum Market we
have few transactions to report ; the demand for Leewards has
much atated, only 50 puns. having been taken at rather lower
prices, 1 to 3 per cent. overproof selling at 2s. 2d. a 2s. 3d.

tinue on the decline, and of 37 chests at public sale only a
small portimi was sold at ss. 3d. to SF. 4d. for good and fine

7s. sd. for good. In the absence of public sales of Pimento
little request has existed privately. For East and West India
Ginger the demand has been limited.

a 1 td. ; a few lots went at 2s. 4d. for good quality.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, MARCH 23.

Our Cotton-market this week opened with a very gloomy appear-
ance, the pressure to sell on Saturday being very great, and in some
instances, to effect sales, a considerable reduction from current rates
was submitted to. On Monday we had less cotton offering, but
still more than sufficient for the demand, which, however, after-
wards improved, and the pressure to sell has diminished daily, so,
that the market closes with less irregularity, though at prices barely
equal to our quotations of last week. Brazils are heavy of sale, and
in the lower qualities of Maranhams and Pernams lAd. decline may
be quoted. Sea Islands, except the finer qualities, are barely sup-
ported, we accordingly reduce our quotations. Egyptians are in li-
mited request, but unchanged in price. In Surat there is but little
doing, and current prices are with difficulty obtained ; 800 bales
Surat and Madras were, to-day, offered by auction, but were wholly
withdrawn ; 3,000 American have been taken on speculation, and
350 American and 100 Surat for export, namely—
