THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrival of all kinds of Grain this morning are small, the
wind having been boisterous. The Wheat trade remains firm at
Monday's prices. Barley still meets a slack sale. Beans and
Pease are unaltered. Oats are rather dearer, as the factors will
not take former prices. The Flour trade is good at the advance of
Monday.

(From the New London Price Current of last night.)
EAST INDIA. DUTIES.—Mr. E wart, in the House of Com-
mons last night, presented a petition from the inhabitants of
Calcutta, praying the equalization of the import duty from
the East Indies, on Sugar, Rum, Molasses, and Tobacco.
The Ministers did not oppose it. Mr. P. M. Stewart stated
his being favourable to a graduated scale ; that is the idea of
the West India interest, the Sugar duty to be yearly lessened
till it is equal with the West India. The general understand.
ing is that in 1836 this will be made equal.
SUGAR.—The West India Raw Sugar Market became very
heavy last week after the Tuesday ; the estimated sales were
only about 1,500 hhds. and trs., the prices had fallen 6d, per
cwt.
The stock of West India Sugars is now 16,070 hhds. and
trs., being 10,756 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 68,654 bags, which is 17,524 less than last year. The
delivery of West India last week was 1,939 hhds. and trs.,
which is 232 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius
was 5,756 bags, being 630 less than the corresponding week of
last year.
It will be observed that the comparative stock is again con-
siderably less than last year, and probably this state of things
will continue to increase, as we arc dipping into the supplies
of 1836, and still the deficiency increases ; the market to-day
has, in consequence, made a stand ; the holders are more firm,
and there is no selling at any reduction in prices. The esti-
mated sales this day arc only 700 hhds. and tierces. The
holders are now looking to the general deficiency of the gene-
ral stocks of Sugar in England and in Europe. The prices
to-day are rather firmer.
The Refined Market was also lower last week, about 6d.
per cwt.; for fine Crashed the holders asked 435. to 435. 6d.,
which was 6d. per cwt. lower. This day there is a strong
feature in the Refined market, one eminent house has sold a
most extensive parcel of Crashed Sugar, 6,000 cwt., or
18,000 lumps, say 600 hhds. at 84s. or 435. the short price,
which has given a tone to the market. In grocery goods
there is no business reported.
MAURITIUS.—The public sale of Wednesday last, 5,789 bags,
went off at a further reduction of ls. per cwt. in the prices:
EAST INDlA.—Bengal descriptions are the only kinds which
have been enquired after, low to good white 363. 6d. to 393. ;
they are held for higher prices, on account of the reported Bill
for equalizing the East India Import Duty : other qualities are
comparatively neglected. By public sale this day 495 bags 5
casks Bengal Sugar, sound 365., damps Ist quality 345. 6d.,
2d quality 325., full prices.
FORElGN.—Arrivals of the new crop of Brazil have taken
place, part of very superior quality, and sold very high with
13 per cent. tare, 345. 6d. to 38s. mid. to fine white ; fine
white Pernams in barrels 38s. to 405., low 30s. The soft
Sugars of low quality sold at a reduction of ls. 6d. to 2s. per
cwt., low to fine brown 21s. to 255. yellow 265. to 295. ; mid.
white Havannah sound 465., yellow 345.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—By public sale this day, 106 puns.
17 hhds. Demerara Molasses, good fair qualities taken in at
275. 6d. to 28s. _ _

The total deliveries of West India Molasses from the ware-
houses for the week ending Feb. lath amount to 2,866 cwt-
COFFEE.—There was little alteration in British Plantation
descriptions last week ; the Market was heavy, and a consi-
derable proportion of the quantity brought forward was taken
in. In East India there was no alteration worth reporting.
Foreign steady, ord. Bahia 51s. Gd. to 525. Gd.
There is little British Plantation Coffee in first hands; it
will be seen by our list for the home trade duty paid, that
the East India Coffee is pressing hard upon the West India
Coffee for the home consumption, even when the duty on
East India is charged 9d., and that of West India 6d. per lb.
The former petition to the Lords of the Treasury, praying
that Ceylon Coffee may be forthwith allowed for home con-
sumption•at the low duty of 6d. per lb., was refused. The
trade on Saturday petitioned the House of Commons to the
same effect, praying that as the certificates from ports in Africa
were waived, and African Coffee admitted at 6d, that the
same should be allowed to Coffee from Ceylon. The Act of
Parliament, William the 4th, cap. 66, dated 9th Sept. 1835,
states, " That from and after the passing of this Act, instead
of the duties now payable under the said Act upon Coffee,
the produce of the British possessions within the limits of the
East India Company's charter, and imported from such pos-
sessions, and upon Coffee the produce of Sierra Leone, and
imported from thence, there shall be paid a duty of 6d."
The second paragraph of the Act strictly enforces the certi-
ficate of origin and the proof shipment.
The Coffee market is very dull to-day, the whsle ()fired

TURPENTINE.—A parcel of 500 barrels of Rough Turpen-
tine not yet arrived, has been sold at 10s. Spirits heavy at
78s. to 80s.

Rum, BRANDY, AND llonnAmos.—ln Jamaica descriptions of
Rum there is little alteration ; a parcel of 35 over has been
sold at 3s. 7d. ; Leeward Island Rum is heavy, a parcel of 6
over is reported unsold at 2s. 21d, and 4 over at 2s. 2d.
Brandy is firm. In Geneva there is no alteration. •
IRISH PROVISIONS.—The Butter Market continues very
kfirm, as also the Bacon Market. Price of Pigs steady, and
the supplies coming into the Irish fairs rather more plentiful.
BUTTER. BACON.

1835 47,100 firks 6,598. firks 16,252 bales 3,443 bales
1836 50,800 8,300 18,400 2,590
The imports of Butter are Irish 4,620 firks. Foreign 45 casks. ;
Bacon 4,853 bales.
COCOA.—The total deliveries of West India Cocoa from
the warehouses for the week ending Feb. 13, are 13,620 lbs.
OILS.—The Oil Market is declining. At public sale last
week Southern of fine quality sold fully 2/. per tun lower,
35/. to 35/. 10s. Seal Oil of first quality has been sold at
38s. Linseed and Rape Oils are dull at the reduced quota-
tions. Olive Oils arc nominal.
TALLOW. —The Tallow Market continues firm and rather
advancing, owing to the request for the actual consumption of
the country.

SALTPETRE.—There is little doing in Saltpetre, and it is
probable there will
,be no alteration till the public sale on
Friday.
HOPS. —The Market is steady, but still rather a tendency to
advance, particularly the good and fine description of Hops.
TEA.—There is more firmness in the Market ; several par-
cels of Congou and Twankay have found buyers at prices fully
equal to those of the late sales.
A large purchase of Canton Bobeas was made last week at
9d. per lb., on speculation.
The total deliveries of all descriptions of Tea from the ware-
houses on which duty has been paid for the week ending Feb.
13th, are 523,8241b5.
WooL.—The public sales of Wool commenced on Tueaday
last and continued throughout the week ; they consisted of
1,800 bales Turkey, Russian, Smyrna, &c., 250 German,
Odessa, &c., 550 Spanish, and 420 N. S. Wales and V. D.
Land Wools; the chief proportion of the Foreign descriptions
were low skin Wools. The sales were very well attended,
and went off briskly at pricei which (according to the quality
of the Wools) may be considered higher; Spanish 2s. 2d. to
2s. 7d. ; Italian Is. 6d. to 2s. Id; Russian Bd. to 90.
There was some request for the Australian Company's Wools,
156 bales which were in fair condition, and sold at a decided
improvement in the prices upon those obtained at the sales the
latter end of last year: first quality sold 2s. Bd. to 2s. 10d;
second quality 2s. 3d. to 2s. 7d ; third quality 2s. Old. to
2s. 3d; Lambs' 2s. 31d. The quantity of Wool brought
forward at these sales- being small, and the condition generally
not very good, the prices obtained cannot form a proper guide
to the Market currency.
INDIGO,—There is little doing in Indigo ; parcels well
bought continue to bear a premium of 2d. to 3,1. per lb. on
the late sales, but we cannot state this to be the general-state
of the trade ; the purchases at this improvement are not ex-
tensive or general. The total deliveries of East India Indigo
from the wareboyes for the week ending Feb. 13th are
42,760 lbs.

SlLL—There has been great activity in British Thrown
Silks at improving prices; Private Trade Bengal have also
been sold freely at a slight advance. The East India Com-
pany's Sale commences on Monday next, the 22nd inst. ; it
is expected to be numerously attended, and the prices well
maintained.

Sricas.—Spices arc dull.
COTTON.—The Market here is very firm, and the prices
rather higher ; Liverpool sales last week were above 33,000
bales at id. aid. per lb. higher.
