LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price current yesterday.)
SUGAR.—In the early part of the week the demand for Mus-
covades rather revived, but there is again a heaviness about the
market, and the prices are rather lower; the estimated sales are
only 2,000 hhds. as there were only three days of business this
week on account of the Coronation. rhe Refinedmarket is exces-
sively dull, and again rather lower, brown Lumps being sold at
615., and fine Hamburg for crashing at 325. This afternoon the
market continues very flat, and last week's prices are barely
maintained, particularly for the fine descriptions, entitled to the
same bounty as the double-refined, parcels of which have been
sold, crashed 31s. a 325., and are still oftbred at those prices, but
there appears to be only a very limited demand, and the quail.
tity taken off has been only small; of Low Lumps, also, the
quotations are 6d. dower than last week, and there is still very
little business doing in them, either for packing or crashing, the
sales of crashed lately having been almost entirely confined to
the fine descriptions.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—There •is much interest excited res-
pecting the intention of Ministers relative to the admitting Fo-
reign Sugar into our Refineries, and the produce to be exported :
the impression oh our minds is that the former Bill will be re-
newed. There has been much speculation in Foreign Sugar ;
with the 1,279 chests Havannah last Friday we have had 2,333
boxes yellow, and 723 boxes white; the yellow sold 20s. a 245. 6d.,
which ts rattier lower, the whites at former prices 31s. to 335. 6d.
toe good strong ; Brazil Sugars have been neglected ; a
few, white Bahia and' Rio offered at public sale were taken in
fl. a 275. _

NDI A SUGARS.—The limited demand for Mauritius
Sugars, apd the continued reduction in prices, occasioned the
holders tet, withdraw their Sugars which were advertised for
public sale; this was done to some extent, yet the Market prices
did not improve ; the yellow sold at previous prices, but the
brown sold tid: to Is. lower. In Bengal Sugars there are no trans-
actions worth reporting; Manilla Sugar sold lid. to Is. higher.
4,561 bags have lately been sold 19s. a 21s. lid. ; Siam S..gars sold
a shade lower.
COFFEE.—The very favourable reports from the Flanders
Markets respecting Ca/be occasion a most extensive demand,
and even the holiday of yesterday did not prevent the buyers
from coming forward to purchase. The private contracts con-
sist of above 3,000 bags St. Domingo, 455. 6d. and 465.: 1,800
Brazil, 455. a 465. ; and about 1,000 bags Batavia and Sumatra,
the later good quality, 355.. a 365., the former 445. a 455. Cal.,
which makes the advance on Foreign and East India Coffee Is.
a Is. 6d. ; the good and fine ord. Jamaica, lately selling lower,
has also recovered to the late highest quotations. The public
sales of this week went off at nearly Market prices. This after-
noon further private contracts of Coffee effected yesterday have
transpired : St. Domingo has realized 475., and Brazil also 475.
This day's public sales 164 bags East India, 115 casks British
Plantation ; good brown Samarang sold at 41s. ; fine mid. Ja.
maica, 88s. ; ord. mid., 695. 6d, and 70s. ; good ord., 635. a 655.
At the close of this day the estimated sales of Coffee by private
contract this week are 8,000 bags ; the general advance is is. 6d.
a 2s. per cwt., and a very brisk Market.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—There are some rather
extensive orders lately executed for export, proofs and one and
two over about ls. sd. ; Jamaica 20 to 28 per cent. 2s. 2d. a 2s.
6d., particular marks 3s. Bd. ; Brandy is dull. In Geneva there
is no alteration.

HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The panic we noticed in
the Tallow Market last Friday has been succeeded by much firm..
ness, and a progressive rise to 38s. 6d., which is the price this
afternoon; during the bustle it is stated very extensive orders
from the country were executed. Hemp is dull and lower. Flax
is still at nominal quotations.
FRUIT.—In the prices there is no alteration this week, and
scarcely any business has been done; the stock on hand of Red
Sniyrna Raisins is now very small.
TO HACCO.—There are more inquiries for Tobacco.
SPlCES.—Pepper is more inquired after. Pimento is %d.
to Ud. higher ; goal quality held for 5d , and for which 4Nd. and
4%d. have been refused.

. . .

CASSIA LIGNEA.—The prices arc higher; mid. sold at
68s. 6d., and fine held for 755.
IRIS PROVISIONS.—For Butter or Bacon we cannot note
any alteration in price or demand since our last ; the market
continues very heavy, with a tendency to lower prices. Hams
and bladder Lard have a limited sale, and for Beef and Pork
there is very little inquiry.

sales are inconsiderable : they consist of 320 Bengal, mid. good
