THE MARKETS.-(THIS PAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There are very few arrivals of Corn reported this week. The River being
still unnavigable, no business is doing here to-day ; but a thaw having
commenced, hopes are entertained of trade being shortly resumed.

BALTIC PRODUCE MARKET.
P.Y.C. Tallow is securing rather more business to-day than yesterday,
and prices are 495. There is a little stir in Hemp, and, if it contintle,
prices of that commodity will be higher.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
These •narkets continue much in the same condition as they hare
been, except that the thaw this morning caused mote inquiry; still
there is but little doing. Po-day there were but few public sales, and
with the exception of one of 4,900 bags of Mauritius Sugar, nothing
of magnitude. The sale progressed at firm prices when we left; and
nothing lower than previous rates was thought about. Brown 545. to
585; low and fine yellow 58s. 6d. to 665; British Plantation Sugar con-
tinues firm, but the transactions are not very extensive ; the stock is
14,245 hhds. and tierces, being 8,125 less than it was about this
time last year. Refined Sugar is dull at 395. for fine crushed-
We had a public sale or rather two small ones of Bengal Sugar, which
when we left, sold briskly at prices looking up from last quotations of
(135. to 67s 6d. for white ; and of 545. to 645. for brown and yellow.
Nothing doing privately in Sugar. Coffee is looking up—by private con-
tract, there is some business doing to-day in Ceylon. To-day, we had
two small public sales of British Plantation, which sold at prices firm and
full, and where altered, higher a little. The stock of B. P. is 9,383
casks, and 1,053 barrels and bags; Ceylon, 21,h74 bags; Mocha 4,075
bales ; Brazil, 32,453 bags. There were also two small sales of ltice and.
Saltpetre, which realized about yesterday's rate of advance by 6d.,
prices for the former, and previous prices for the latter. These
were all our public sales. Should this thaw continue to-day,
it will bring a considerable number of buyers into the market,. as
most purchasers will be anxious to be amongst the first. Indigo is :ra-
ther on the advance; and there has been some considerable busimcss
done in Cotton at the buying in prices of last sale. Cocoa is beginning
to stir a little after great languour for a considerable time. Spices ;are
generally quiet. The Imports are slender, very:,slender ; and in Calna"
dian produce there is nothing new. The business advertised for ;the
week of all kinds of produce is very scanty, and for to.morrow there
is
nothing but Wood and Drugs.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FED. 5,
Our Cotton Market this day was very dull, and very little business
was transacted, at the same time we cannot alter our last quotations
which were in all instances obtained for the small sales of to-dal-
