THE WEEK,

On the whole there has been a fair business done in these markets,
all circumstances considered, but still not by any means proportioned
to the disposition to purchase, which the interruption to naviga.
tion prevented from being carried out. Prices very firm, and in some
cases higher. Raw Sugar may on the whole be regarded as 6d. per cwt.
higher. Refined, unaltered. Coffee of most kinds Is. to '2s. higher. Tea
generally a shade higher. Rice 6d. per cwt. higher. Spices all looking up,
but Pimento id. per lb. higher. Cocoa unaltered. In Rum nothing
done owing to short stocks. Indigo and Cotton without variation. In
Canadian produce Turpentine is the only commodity which has varied,
and it has advanced I s. per cwt., or say Is. 6d.
The Imports have increased a little, still they have been very slender.
The business advertised for next week is at present very slender.

(From the New London Price Current of last Night.)

Stroak.—ln the British Plantation Market business to a fair extent
has been transacted since our last; the demand has been for bath brown
and yellow descriptions ; therates previously established have been fully
supported, and in some instances a slight advance has been obtained for
ord. kinds. 133 hhds. 8 trs. Barbadoes have been offered for public ccm.
petition, which sold steadily at fully previous rates, mid. at 645. to 645.
Gd., good 655. to 665., fine 665. 6d. to 675. 6d. ; sales privately of ord.
brown Berbice have been made at 61s. which is the lowest point of the
Market. The difference between this and last year's stock has since last
week again increased to 7,764 hhds. 599 trs., &c., though the deliveries
have continued to be considerably minus, and are 5,200 hhds. and trs.
less than last year to this period; the arrivals from the Ist January to
the present time are 2,900 hhds. less than in 1837. Since our last 681
hhds. and 52 trs. have arrived. The average price which will appear in
this night's Gazette, is 395. 2 %d., and last year at the same period it was
345. 0 d. A public sale of Barbadoes, of 130 hhds., is advertised for
next Tuesday. This afternoon the quantity on show was smal, and the
assortment indifferent; there was a very good business transacted both
in grocery and refining descriptions ; prices continue very firm, sales of
brown Demerara made at 625., low brown Berbice 615., fine brown from
other places 625. 6d., low mid. yellow 635. 6d., fine bright 675. The
purchases for the week, including the two public sales, are 2,000 hhds.
and tierces. 140 hhds. Barbadoes at auction sold with spirit at fully pre-
vious rates, fine went at 665. Gd. to 675. 6d., good 655, to 665., mid. 645.
to 64s 6d. Refined goods have fully maintained their previous value
for both common and the better descriptions, and for grocery sorts a good
demand has prevailed at 795. for Lumps rather under, and 803. to 81s.
pasting the standard ; for exportation there has been scarcely any thing
done, owing to the difficulty experienced in shipping goods, but the sup-
ply being short (few of the Sugar houses being at work) double Crushed
is still held firmly at 395.

Mtvairrus.—There has been rather less inclination evinced on the
part of the buyers to purchase this week. For the best yellow sorts a
reduction on former rates of Gd. has been submitted to; 4,895 bags of
the old crop at auction sold without spirit, good yellow at 635. od. to
645. mid 635. good strong grey 645. Gd. to 055., fine brown 6:ls.
EAST INDIA.—The grocers continue ready buyers of Bengal. Very
ord 645. to 645. Bd., washed 635. to 635. 6d.; 500 bags of the latter
went at 48s. to 51s. for very ord. damp and washed. In Manilla or Siam
we have no transactions to report. This afternoon the home trade con.
tinued ready buyers of Bengal, and 887 bags white at auction were
taken readily, fine went at 675. 6d., good 665. 6d. to 67s , damps 655. od.
to 665., washed 04s. Gd.

MoLasses.-West India have maintained previous rates, hut the de-
mand has been limited, and confined to 100 puns. ord. Berbice at 291.,
and a small parcel of good mid. Demerara at 325. per cwt.
COFFEE.-There has been an increased disposition manifested on the
part of the grocers to purchase the clean descriptions of British Planta-
tion. At auction 44 casks 40 bags sold with animation at an advance
on previous rates of Is. to Is. (id., Berbice mid. went at 10(3s. 6d. to
1095. 6d.; Demerara low mid. 102 s. to 1035., triage 935. The prin.
cipal holders of E.sst India descriptions with certificate having supplied
the Market sparingly not being inclined generally to sell at present rates,
has checked business, and only small parcels of Ceylon have been taken
privately by the home trade, for which higher prices by Is. have been
obtained, sales of good ord. made at 86s. 6d. to 87s. At auction 32
bags from Madras, subject to the 6d. duty, sold at 104 s. 6d. to 105 s. for
green and fine ord. quality ; Mocha has been taken freely by the grocers
and prices have further improved 3s. to 4s. This afternoon 134 bags
Ceylon and 5 bales Mocha were offered at public sale, which were taken
readily at rather higher prices, tho former went at Hs. 6d. a 875. 6d. for
good ord., and the latter mid. yellow yt 955. 6d. per cwt.
Rice.-The demand for East India has been very extensive, and a
further advance of sixpence has been obtained for Bengal ; at public
sale 4,062 bags were taken eagerly, fair to mid. white at 14s. a 14s. 6ci•
Carolina is held firmly at previous rates, and for home consumption a
steady demand has prevailed. This afternoon 96 bags Bengal at auc-
tion went at 14s. a 14s. 6d. for mid. white, former rates.
TALLOW.-The home consumers purchased sparingly of Petersburgh
,
Yellow Candle Tallow, and 49s.bas been accepted for small parcels 0
first quality. By the last accounts from St. Petersburgh prices were
i
firm at 117 a 118 roubles, and 121 for cash, but there was very little
bu
siness doing.

SPICES.-In Pimento the private purchases have been very exten-
sive ; prices have furthey improved I/2d. per lb. ; there is nothing no

Cocoa.-British Plantation has undergone no change in value; the
private purchases have been again limited, and none has been offered at
auction. In Foreign no transactions to report.
INnico.-In Spanish business to a fair extent has been transacted
privately at fully previous rates. East India is held firmly at the prices
of the last public sales, but the demand has been limited, and confined
to small parcels of the bought-in lots at the buying-in prices.
COCHINEAL.-Prices continue firm, but the prices have been limited
by private treaty, and none has been offered at auction.
TURPENTINE.-Spirits have been in better request, and business to a
fair extent has been transacted at full prices. In Rough there has been
some business at about the prices last quoted, but the exact particulars
have not transpired.

CorroN.—There has been a revival in the demand for East India
since the public sales, and a steady business has been transacted in the
bought-in lots at fully sales' prices; the purchases consist of 1,250 Su
rats 40. to 50., and 1,160 Madras 4d. to 5 1i d.
