THE MARKETS-(THIS BA/.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The weather since Monday has assumed a more favourable
aspect, and the Corn trade was consequently extremely dull
to-day for every description of grain. The supply of Wheat
was only moderate ; but there being no speculative enquiry,
and the consumers having latterly bought pretty freely, it
proved quite adequate to the demand, and the sales effected
were of so very limited a nature, that it is difficult to quote
prices correctly, but no doubt purchases might have been
made ls. to 2s. below the rates of Monday last. Barley
realized quite as much money ; the amount of business,
however, was not large. Owing to the abundant arrival of
Irish Oats, in addition to the continual receipts of Foreign,
our market for this article was depressed, and it was extremely
difficult to maintain the advance of Monday last, for even the
finer qualities, whilst secondary sorts were in vain of-
fered at a rednction of Gd. per qr. from the currency of that
day. Beans and Pease were dull at the recent improvement.
The Seed Market was to-day devoid of interest. The new
Mustard Seed still continues t) come to hand in damp condi-
tion, and therefore recedes in value ; the best brown is now
worth 135., and white not above 11s. New Tares are still
held at ss. 6d. a Gs. per bushel, but do not sell readily. A
considerable quantity of the new Carraway offering is damp
and rather green ; such sorts arc very unsaleable, and not
worth more than from 40s. to 423., fine old as high as 495.
Linseed and Rapeseed remain as last quoted.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

The public soles this day are not important; they consist
chiefly of East India produce, and in the present state of the
market we do not anticipate any material alteration in prices.
The ships entered inwards are mostly from the Baltic, and
he importation of Tallow was 1,471 casks ; of Iron 2,345 bars.
There was also an arrival from Montreal of 9201b5. of Ashes,
all of which will come to a very good market.
With regard to the public sales that took place after our
publication went to press yesterday, we have to notice that
564 serons Guatemala sold with much spirit at an advance of
4d. per lb. on the prices of the previous public sale. The
following arc the particulars, viz. :—Sobres, ss. to 6s. per lb.;
ditto, ord., 4s. 6d. to 4s. 10cl.; Cortes, good, 4s. 4d. to 4s. 6d.;
ditto, ord. and mid., 2s. sd. to 3s.
The demand for Indigo continues brisk, and 6d. t o 9d. ad-
vance has been paid on the rates of die last East India Indigo
sale.
COTTON.—The demand continues in consequence of the fa-
vourable accounts from Liverpool. By private contract 1,000
bales were sold yesterday in the London market, the expor-
ters, as well as speculators continuing their purchases up to a
late hour. Madras, sd. ; Boweds, 74d. ; Surats, 4d. to 41d.
Rice.—By private contract, 1,600 to 1,700 bags of middling
white Bengal were sold at from 1 Is. to 12s. per cwt.
The American letters and papers delivered last evening are
important, as they state that confidence is becoming firmer.
Bahl( Stock was quoted at 119 to 1191 ; Exchange had de-
clinei to 118, 119, but was firm at that quotation.
The vessel (the Independence) brings 200,000 dollars. In
the commercial market nothing particular had occurred.
Rough Turpentine had continued in extensive demand at 21d.
to 21d., or about 9s. per barrel, and the stock was decreasing.
The accounts from France state, that the unsettled weather
had caused apprehension that the vines would be injured. The
wine dealers, consequently, became active buyers, and the
prices were fully supported. Letters from Cognac, Bour-
daaux, and other places, state a very favourable opinion of the
crop, and large sales of Brandy had been made, for delivery
in the four first months of next year, at much lower prices.
The accounts of the Coffee Markets in France are precisely

the same as in England and all parts of Europe. all. waiting
the result of the sales in Holland. The Indigo trade in
France had been affected by the accounts from England, and
sales to some extent. had been made at rather higher prices.
Stock in Havre 4,978 chests and serous, being about 1,000
less than last year's stock at the same period. The stock at
Bordeaux is about 2,000 chests.
Up to a late hour last evening, our British Plantation
Su gar Market continued flat, but this • morning there was a
revival in the demand, grocers and refiners buyers. The Bar-
badoes sale of 146 hhds. went off heavily, at from 595. 6d. to
635. for middling and good, and 635. 6d. to 64n. 6d. for fine.
Crushed sold this morning at 325., and the market very dull.
In the Provision trade some business has been done in Cork
Butter at 965. to 933 per firkin; Dutch Butter, of fine qua-
lity, in much sought after, and 1003. per firkin have been paid,
whilst fine quality has been sold as low as 965. per firkin.
Prime sweet Bacon commands 633. to 655. per firkin. There
is a very large stock of stinking and tainted Bacon which
never can be consumed es human food, and will, no doubt,
go to the soap boilers, and the sßoner the wharfs are cleared
the better. The cause of so much inferior is owing to the
prevailing fashion of curing so mildly, and the hot weather
was very prejudicial to Bacon not well cured. Metals remain
as before ; and large parcels of Pig Lead have been sold at 201.
per ton.
Hoes.—The Market continues dull, and the duty still esti-
mated at 195,000/. Very few stew at market.
TEA.—It appears that as the sale advances, the prices rise.
This morning there was again a large attendance of buyers.
Congous continue to engage the attention of the buyers, and
the prices are now quoted 4d. to 6d. for fine, and common
3d. to 31d. per lb. higher.
The prices are :—Congous, blackish leaf, 2s. Id. tots. Id.
per lb. ; ditto, very strong, 2s. 9i-d. to 2s. 101. ; Middling,
Is. 3d. to Is. 31d ; Rather strong, Is. 'lid. to Is. bd.

At to-day's sales Havannah Coffee was bought in at
363. to 355. 6d. offered, but refused, the quality good, ordi-
nary mixed.
The Rice sold briskly, at from 11s. 6d. to 123. for mid-
dling white.
The Mocha Coffee at steady prices—good yellow clean
garbled, 755. 6d. a 763. per cwt.
