LONDON MARKETS.

(From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.)

SUGAR.-Tbe Sugar Market remained in a very languid
state all the last week ; the estimated sales were 2,000
hhds. and trs; in some instances lower prices were
submitted to, but no general reduction in the currency
could be stated. The Market again opened this morning
very heavily ; the estimated sales this day are about 600
hhds. and trs; the prices are again Is. lower this day.
The stcck of West India Sugar is now 55,180 hhds.
and trs., being 5,383 more than last year. The stock of
Mauritius 91,712 bags, being 46,896 more than last year.
The delivery of West India is 1,794 hhds. and trs., being
1.258 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is
4,212 bags, being 433 less than the corresponding week
of 1832. In Refined goods last week sales were quite
inconsiderable; the exporters made offers Gil. to Is. under
the Market prices, which were refused, and the grocers
and melters only took small parcels for immediate use;
345. 6d. was offered freely for fine Crashed ; the sellers
asked 355. and 355. 6d. There is no alteration in the
Refined Market this afternoon ; the Market is uncom•
wonly heavy.
MAURITIUS SUGAR -The quantity of Mauritius Sugars
last week was about 5,500 bags ; the whole sold heavily

ment contract for 40 tons, it is stated, has been taken

Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market
became very heavy last week on account of the large arri-
vals, and several sellers appeared at Mark-t ; parcels of
Jamaica were offered at a small reduction, about Id. per
gallon lower, particularly Jamaica descriptions; but few

transactions are reported. In Brandy or Geneva there
was no alteration worth reporting.
TALLOW...-. The Tallow Market continues fluctuating
violently. After the reduction of 2s. per cwt., which we
noticed last week, the Market became more firm at an

advancing currency; on Friday 630 casks Petershurgh at
public sale went off freely 455. 6d. a 455. 9d., since
which the Market has been again giving way, and yesterday
435. 6d. and 445. were reported ; this afternoon the
Market is again more firm, about 41s.
SPlCES.—Pepper continued firm last week, and consi-
derable private purchases were reported. Pimento was
heavy, and rather lower. Ca•sia was again 2s. lower ;
good and fine sold at 83s. and 84s. At a large sale of
Bengal Ginger only a small part sold at 365. 6d. Small
parcels of Cloves were offeri.d at lower prices, without
facilitating sales.

The Spice Mafket is heavy ; the only public sale this
day consisted of 490 bas of good Malabar Pepper, for
which a lid only was obtained, mak:ng a decline of
id. a per lb. since the last puiilic sale.
COTTON.—The Cotton Market continues in an agitated
and very uncertain state, on account of the uncertainty as to
the great speculators continuing their purchases. The
sales last week here were only about 1,500 hags.
RlCE..—Several parcels of Rice sold steadily last week,
but generally the market was dull, and purchases might
have been made 6d. lower; 2,410 bags good white Bengal
sold 14s. 6d. a 15s. 6d. This day by public sale 5,038
bags Bengal Rice ; about 4,000 bags were fine, the re-
mainder mid. white ; nearly half of the former sold at
17s. a 17s. 6d., and the greater part of the inferior
14s. 6d., which are very full prices.
Outs.—Common Oils have not declined further ; the
accounts from the Straits' fishery are not improved : in-
deed very little beyond the first account is known. Sperm
Oil, owing to the arrivals from Sydney, and two of the
vessels said to have been lost having been heard of safe,
has declined 21. to 31. per ton, and of dull sale. Seed
and Olive Oils keep firm ; the demand for Linseed Oil
for future deliveries continues; large purchases have been
made.

TURPENTINE.-Nut any new arrival of rough, nor sale
to notice ; 13s. is asked for the next parcel expected.
•Sim:.—A further advance of 6d. per lb. has been ob.
tamed on Brutia Rams. Italian, Chini, and Bengal are
still looking up. In Thrown Silk nothing has been done,
owing to the scarcity.
FRUIT. —The unfavourable reports received respecting
the crop of Currants occasioned a rapid rise in the prices,
and even at the advanced quotations there were few sellers
last week. In Zante Fruit very extensive transactions
were reported. This afternoon a further advance of Qs.
per cwt. on Currants is demanded.
WooL.—There is no alteration in Wool; the arrivals
lately from New South Wales are extensive, but they are
held with firmness.

rough Calcutta 2 to 342 refraction sold 38s. a 38s. 6d., and
this price could not be afterward" realised. Saltpetre 91

British Refined sold at 425. 6d. The Market has since a
firmer appearance.
