THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
As the Corn vessels do not yet attempt to get up to their moorings,
there are no arrivals to report this week ; but as the river is getting
more clear of ice, there is some probability that business may be re-
sumed next week.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.
There was a little advance to.day in Mutton and Beef, say 2d. per
stone; other kinds of meat unaltered in value. At this season Fri-
day's market is principally valuable as an index to the coming Mon-
day's. The supply to-day was smaller; all was sold at the close of
the market.

PROVISION MARKET.
There is scarcely iniy thing doing publicly in this market. The stocks
generally are not heavy. Prices are precisely the same as they were
this day week. .

TALLOW AND OIL MARKET,
P. Y. C. is 495. 3d. to 495. 6d. to.day, and but little sold. Common
Fish Oils are now 1/. per ton lower than they were this day week.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
There is very great quiet to-day in these departments in common
with all others just now. Of Groeeries we have to.day but one public
sale, and that is 1,100 bags White Bengal Sugar, which sold with ani-
mation when we left at fully former prices, and with a tendency up_
wards. The quotations are 655. to 675. 6d., for White, and 50s. to 645.
f,r Brown and Yellow. In British Plantation Sugar there is a fair
bus:ress doing, and prices are not only firm, but looking up. Of
Refined Goods there is none in the market. Coffee of every description
c ntinues firm, and where it varies advances in value. To-day there are no
public sales. Tea continua in good demand, and is firm. Spices of all
kinds are buoyant rather, but not to-day publicly in the Market. In Bum,
we believe, that owing to the short stock, there has not been a single
who'esale transaction during the past week, Indigo, as brought in lots,
continues to sell at the bought In prices. Rice is firm ; but Cocoa is
Languid. The imports are slender, and while there is a good feeling
generally to purchase for consumption. For export there is nothing
doing.

PUBLIC SALE or COTTON TO-DAY.—This morning, at twelve
o'clock, at the London Commercial Sale Rooms, Miricing.laire,
the public sales of Cotton of different kinds, amounting to nearly
twenty thousand bales, according to the advertisements, commenced.
Although there has not been any public sale of this article for a long
time, still the atteadance r f the trade was not numerous, and very little

ebmmodity until navigation is opene.l—they therefore wait. The conse..
quence of this was, that very little of the cotton
quantities were bought in, and the diminutive proportion which found

but from the disposition of holders to prop up prices by buying in, no
variation front the previous market prices, of any moment, Was expected.
