THE MARKETS-YESTERDAY.
CORN EXCHANGE.
_. _

The supplies of English Grain were moderate, and of Iri,h
Oats good. The fine weather kept the buyers back, and the
trade for every article was very dull, but no eteration in the
value of any article since Alonday last. Flour dull, and rather
lower.

SMITHFIELD.
Our supply of Cattle was moderate, the demand not brisk,
but our quotations were fully realised for the best sorts, whilst
the middling and ordinary qualities met with a good sale. Of
Sheep and Lambs our supply was large, the demand not very
bri-k. A small reduction took pace. Of Pigs our supply was
good, the demand brisk, and sold readily at our quotations.

COLONIAL MARKET.
The demand has improved for produce for the home trade,
but shippers still operate with caution. Prices firm for most
articles.

TEA MARKET.

There was a fair business done in Free Trade, and full rates
were paid at the public sales. Company's Congou sold more
freely at Is. 10d. cash.

TALLOW MARKET.

Prices firm, but the market 'Was dull, both for parcels on the
spot and for delivery. Of South American the supply was large.
(From the London New Price Current of May 14.)
SUGAR.—The opinion having become more prevalent that
Ministers will be defeated on the measure for the admission of Fo-
reign Sugar for home consumption, and of which there is every
prospect, have'further strengthened the confidence of holders: of
all sorts admissible for home consumption, and have
caused buyers. of West India Muscoyadoes to come forward
with increased freedom this week ; for both grocery and refin-
ing purposes there has been an excellent demand, the quantity
disposed of by private treaty during the three market days has
amounted to 1,600 hhds and trs being greater than has been
the case for many weeks, and purchases would have been on a
more extended scale if the market had been better supplied; prices
have fiirther advanced, and now rule 2s above those of Friday.
Antigua of fine yellow quality has been disposed of at 725,
middling to good middling from the same island and Jamaica
65s to 66s : Demerara middling 64s to 65s ; Trinidad rather
inferior 62s to 63s 6d ; St. Lucia low middling 62s ; Deme-
rara low greyish brown 60s, besides the above quantity, 150
hhds New Barbadoes were disposed of readily at public sale on
Tuesday Is above former rater, low middling yellow went at
64s to 6.55, middling 67s to 68s, good middling and good 69s
to 70s 6d and fine 71s to 71s 6d per cwt.
To-day a good desire was evinced on the part of the trade
to purchase both brown and yellow qualities of British Planta-
tion, but buying was rather restricted owing to the small supply
at market, and buyers were compelled to pay rather higher
rates,
making the advance for the week 2s to 3s;
and the quan-
tity sold 2,250 hhds andtierces ; at the close of the market few
brokers had any Sugar remaining for sale.
REFINED.—To-day the home trade purchased freely of Re-
fined Goods, and prices further improved; sales of Standard
Lumps were made at 93s 6d. Crushed is in request, but few par-
cels to be had. Loaves have been taken more freely, and prices
are firmer, sales of 10 and 141bs made at 34s to 36s per cwt. .
URlTlus.—This afternoon the biddings were spirited at
the public sales, which consisted of 7,431 bags ; nearly the
whole found buyers at 'full former rates, indeed in some cues
prices ruled rather- higher 1 low to fine yellow went at 62s to
708 6d, middling to fine brown 578 to 61s, very ordinary dark
445 per cwt.

EAST INDIA.—For Bengal there has been a good demani
by private treAty from the home trade, but the advance paid
upon former rates has not exceeded Is per cut ; at auction,
3,821 bags were all disposed of with fair spirit, fine white went
at 67s 6d to 68s 6d, good 66s to 66s 6d, good middling 64s 6d
to 655, middling 63s to 645, low to good middling yellow this to
62s 6d, fine brown 595, damps and washed of various sorts 58s
6d to 67s per cwt. Manilla is held firmly. For Siam full
rates have been paid.
This afternoon further purchases were made privately in
Siam, making the total.quantity sold this week. 1000 bas at
23s 9d to 24s 3d foi hiw white quality. This afternoon the
trade purchased freely of Bengal at the public sales, which
comprised 18 butts,' 85 puncheons, 100 hhds, and 2,521
bags, the puncheons, hhds, and butts, were all taken in,
the quality being indifferent, viz. low brown at 51s to 535,
strong greyish brown 55s to 575, thetags were however all
sold at full rates, low to middling white at 613 to 645, ordi-
nary yellow 57s to 60s, 6d, middling 6ls to 625, damp yellow
35s to 564, white damp and washed 58s 6d to 63s 6d per cwt.

100 hhds Porto Rico Muscovado at 2ls ; a floating cargo of
brow Paraiba about 300 chests has been sold at 18s, deliverab'e
at a near port.
COFFEE.—The demand has been limited by private treaty
for c'ean descriptions of British Plaotat ion Coffee this week, the
uncertainty that exists as regards the duties, some parties ite.n.g
of opinion that an alteration will be made ere long, others that
no change will take place this year, cause the trade to operate
with caution and to take only sufficient to supply their iname-
diee wants, holders however are firm and still supply the
market sparingly.
This afternoon the market was quiet for Fast and West
India sorts, and by private treaty but few purchases were made,
holders however for the most part were fit m, and but few par-
cels are pressing for sale ; at auction 80 casks 934 bags Com-
pany's Java imported from the Cape were offered and all taken
in at 62s to 66s for good ordinary pale quality, being the full
value.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum market con-
tinues to wear a dull aspect, and although holders of West
India have submitted to a reduction on last week's rates ef
4d to Id per gallon, still both shippers and the home
trade have purchased with much caution, and the
total sales since this day week have been only 150
puncheons : for proof Leewards 2s Is a 2s 1d were
accepted, 5s 2d .to 5s 8d for Jamaica 30s to 36s over, and 6s 2d
to 6s 6d for good and fine marks. East India is dull of sale, and
50 hhds at auction were taken in at Is 10d for 23 to 25 per
cent over proof, but averaging 20 per cent ; 100 hhds of Cal-
cutta were sold at Is 5d proof. The arrivals of Rum have
been large this week, amounting to 660 puns and 450
hhds. In Brandy the transactions have been extremely
limited, prices have further given way Id per gal-
lon ; sales of Cognac first brands of the vintage
of 1836 have been made at 5s 4d in hhds, and in puns
5s 2d, ditto 11137, hhds 5s 2d, pun; ss, ditto 1838, hhd, 5s
puns 4s 10d, ditto 1839, hhds 4s 10d puns 4s Bd, ditto 18.0,
hhds 3s 8d puns 3s 6d, there have been some arrivals. Ge-
neva has met with a slow sale, 2s is the value of sh.pping
and 2s 6d to 2s 7d for fine quality for home use. The demand
has been rather limited for British Corn Spirits, but the price
is firm at 9s 1 Id cash.

TEA.—In the early part of the week there was a brisk
demand for Free Trade Tea, both for consumption and on
speculation, and prices further advanced 2d. per lb.
To-day there was more activity in the speculative market,
and in Company's Congou a good many purchases were made
at pt ices rather above those of yesteri ay, Is 9ld to Is 10d
paid for parcels for cash, and closed at the latter rate. The
public sales of Free Trade Tea attracted a fair attention
of buyers, the quantity offered amounted to 9,678
packages • previous to the sale, however, 900 pack-
ages Congou were withdrawn. Importers evinced
firmness, and the trade were also more disposed to operate.
For Black Tea there was a good demand, and the principal
part tl such found ready buyers ; Congou fetched full mar-
ket rates, the supply was mostly of excellent quality, but for
Green Tea the biddings were rather languid, and prices gave
way id to Id for Twankay and Hyson. Of the total quart •
tity. offered, 5,000 packages were sold, Congou ord out of. con-
dition sold at Is 9d to Is 9id, fair blackish leaf Is 10d to Is I Id,
good and fine is 1 lid to 2s 2id; Twankay, ord Is. 8 d. to
Is 9d, fine brightish leaf 2s Id to 2s 2d per lb. These sales
establish an advance on the rates current prior to the arrival of
the last overland mail of 3d to 4d per lb.
COCOA.—Tnere is a plentiful supply of West India Cocoa,
but the home trade have again operated with caution, and the
public sales have gone off heavily. Trinidad Is under the
former currency ; middling to good middling red went at 44s to
465, fair to good grey 44s to 45s per cwt. For Foreign, prices
rule high. _

per cwt ; a small part was taken in; large arrivals are near at
