THE MARREiS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE.
Last week's arrivals of all descriptions of Grain were short,
and there was only a limited supply fresh up. The millers
readity took off the dry parcels of Wheat at a farther advance of
Is. to 2s. per quarter, and the runs generally obtained nearly
a similar improvement. Barley maintains its last quotations.
Beans sold slowly at their previous prices. In Peas no varia-
tion. Oats firm at their former value. The top ',rice of
Flour advanced to Ms. per sack, and ship parcels were dearer
than of late.

TEA MARKET.
The transactions were very trivial, but prices were not
lower. Tree trade sorts were scarcely inquired after by the
trade, and the operations in Company's Congou were limited
to small cash parcels at Is. 6id. per lb.
• TALLOW MARKET.
The demand dull, and confined to the wants of. the
consumers, who, notwithstanding the firmness displayed by the
principal holders, were enabled to supply themselves .at easier
prices. P. Y. Candle sold. on the spot at 465. 3d. to 465. 6d.
per cwt.

DRIED FRUIT MARKET.
The demand for currants was dull, but prices kept up at
69s to 72s per cwt. Valehtia Raisins, in demand at 34s to
38s per cwt. Almonds scarce, and high in price.
HOP MARKET.
The transactions were upon a limited scale, and prices were
without alteration ;there was, however, a decidedly better feel-
ing in the trade, and higher prices are looked for by the hold-
ers of the remaining small quantity of last years' growth.

We have Cape of Good Hope Papers to December 27.
We understand that his Excellency the Governor, in conse-
quence of the prevailing dearth of labour, has granted permis-
sion to such amongst the soldiers as are willing to do so, to as-
sist the farmers in getting in their crops ; and that those work-
ing on the roads are to be temporarily removed for thatpurpose.
I he corn farmers, it is pleasing to hear, have met with less
difficulty this year in procuring reapers to cut down one of the
most abundant crops of wheat ever known in this colony at any
former season ; the wages are said to be high, above 3s.
per day, but the necessaries of life, and particularly wheat, it
should he, recollected, have for some time back been rnore than
double their usual price.

We have received the Journal if Antwerp of yesterday's date.
PRUSSIA MAGDEBOURG, FEB. 10.—A part of our com-
merce is in a critical state, owing to several failures which took
plice in the month of October of last year.
BouitsE OF AMSTERDAM, FEB. 19.—Remains without bu-
siness. The improvement in London of the 16th was para-
lyzed by the fall at Paris ot. the 17th ; in consequence the
National Funds scarce ‘aried in price.
The Spanish Funds have been sought after above all the
coupons, which got up from 207 to 21 15-16 and 22. After
the ilosing, Ardoin's was done at 22, Coupons 21h.
We hear that the last part of the Loan has been negotiated
at 3 per cent. above the emission of the former in rents at
5 per vent. ; the General Society is interested for one-third.
The Oryane of Flanders has a letter from the Hague, of
the 16th Fzbruary, stating that private accounts have been
received from Batavia, giving a deplorable statement of com-
mercial affairs in that capital. The great scarcity of money
damps all speculations. Already several houses could not resist
this crisis, and were obliged to suspend their payments.
We have no arrivals this morning of importance, conse-
quently things are dull in the City at present.
