MARK ET NE WS- (YESTERDAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE
Owing to the boiserous weather, the arrivals of English
Wheat for our market since Monday, have been on a very
1 mired scale, consequently, the show of samples, was.
' small. On the whole, the trade was firm, at the late im-
provem,nt in value. There was a fair save fin free foreign
at late rates ; but bonded qualities were quite neglected.
Scarcely any malting Barley was on offer, and such was
held at extrava,:antly high prices. Grinding and distilling
sorts commanded a fair amount of attention. Malt was very
scarce, and held for extreme figures. In Oats comparatively
little was doing, at previous currencies. Beans, Peas, and
Flour, as on Monday.

The supply of Beasts on sale being small, and the weather
more favoutable to slaughtering, the Beef trade was steady
at, in some instances, a trifling advance on Monday's cur-
rencies, and at which a good clearance was effected. There
were in the market al Beasts and 310 Sheep from Holland.
The i umbers of Sheep were limited ; yet the Mutton trade
was in a sluggish stare, at barely stationary prices. Prime,
small Calves produced late rates, but all other kinds of Veal
were very dull. . The Pork trade was in an inactive state ;
yet we can notice no a!terati,rn in the quotations. Mitch
Cows sold heavily at from A/ to 19 each, including their
small calf.

On the whole i here is rather more business doing in the best
colory parcels of flops, yet we can notice no improvement in
value. En the middling and inferior kinds comparatively
little is passing. The duty is called 220,000/.

(From the London New Price Current of October 23.)
SUGAR.—To-day further advanced rates being insisted
upon for West India Muscavado Sugar prevented the trade
from operating largely, and the private sales did not exceed
250 hhds and trcs, at prices showing a rise on those of last
Friday of is to is 6d per cwt. There were purchasers to a
large extent rather under our present quotations. At auction
52 brie 1 trc and 7 hints of West India sold at 47s fur low
middling yellow Jamaica, 45s Gd for washed, 4786 d for mid-
dling sound St. Kitts, and at 46s Gd fur low. The market
closes very firmly for all sorts of Sugar.
REFINED.—To-day there was much life in the Refined
Sugar market, and further advanced rates were paid, brown
melting lumps selling at 633 6d to 64s 6d, and standard
lumps at G5B 6d to GGs per cwt.
Alnunmus.—Tbis afternoon 898 bags at auction went
'readily at a rise on the rates of the last public sale of Is to
Is 6d ; good yellow fetching 518, middling 47s to 48s 6d, low
465, washed 41s Gd to 50s 6d, strong grainy yellow syrupy
46s to 51s 6d, brown 40e 6d to 42s Gd per cwt. Privately a
good business was transacted in all kinds.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was an increased desire
evinced to operate in Bengal Sugar, and 2,796 bags at auc-
tion were all sold at a rise on former rates of Gd to is per cwt,
good grainy yellow 51s 6d to 535, middling 48s to 50s, low
middling soft 45s to 465, good yellow like Mauritius 49e, mid-
dling 47s to 48s, damp and washed 47s to 50s, fine sound
brown 435, good 40s to 41s, washed ditto 40s to 425. Ma-
dras was in good demand, and 1,329 bags at public sale went
at Is per cwt dearer, viz., good damp yellow at 43s 6d to
468, middling 40s to 425, low 38s, ordinary brown 37s 6d
per cwt.

FOI:EIGN.—This afternoon China Sugar met with atten-
tion, but the stiff rates asked checked business, and 2,005
mats at auction were taken in much above the value—mid-
dling white at 52s to 52s Gd. Java is wanted and 142
canisters 625 bags at auction were ail sold at Gd to is ad •
vance —low middling yellow fetching 44s 6d to 455, washed
43-; Gd to 445, middling brown 41s 6d, low 39s to 40. E Gd
very low 375.

Moeasses.—Ml descriptions of West India are much
wanted, and prices are on the advance, the supply being ina-
dequate for the increased demand; in all 600 puns found
buyers. Antigua of fine and good quality at 26s to 275, and
St. Vincent's low 245. Bengal Treacle is much warted, and
higher rates are offered, but there is little remaining in first
hands, Bally Khal is worth 24s to 24s Gd, and other sorts 23s
per cwt. In the Lower sorts of Honey a good deal has been
done, and at improved rates. The stock of Molasses is much
less than it was last year.
TEA.—Prices have not improved for black, but the trade
operated with more freedom this week, and a fair business
has been done. Of Green several parcels have been sold, but
holders are still compelled to take low rates. The supply
since our last is good of all descriptions. On Tuesday 144
packages Assam were offered at public sale, and the whole
sold in consequence of moderate rates being taken.
COCOA.—For West India there has been less demand, but
the small parcels disposed of privately were at previous rates.
At Auction 136 bags of Grenada were only in part sold, at
38s to 39s for middling greyish red, and at 25s to 32s forsea
damaged. For Foreign the market has a dull appearance.
Bahia at 32s to 31s. per cwt.
COFFiEE. --Prices cannot be quoted higher fur West India,
although there has been a falling off in the supply, and the
demand having been good, the parcels disposed of privately
were, howevi r, at previous rates ; but they again consisted
chiefly, of the ordinary kinds. In the value of East India
any further improvement has been prevented from taking
place by merchants supplying the market more freely.
For Plantation Ceylon prices have fallen Is to 2s per
cwt for the sorts under the denomination of good
mid, the caantity brought to market having bean large;
the better and superior kinds, however, sustained the pre-
vious currency, but a good demand has prevailed for all
stirs. The stock of Ceylon is vet heavy, and exceeds that
of last year by 16,003 bags, although the deliveries continue
large. For Mocha quotations do not improve, but several
parcels were taken privately, chiefly of the better kinds.
Fem.—New Valencia Raisins have been much sought
after at 45i to 465, but none to be bad out of first hands.
Turkey Figs have been in excellent request at 60s to 70s,
and Sultanas at 70s to 755. Of Currants there are none in
the market ; there are plenty of buyers at 54s for new Zante,
and at 56s for Patras. In Muscatels a good deal has been
done at 52s to 655, and finer sorts are fetching 68s to 90s.
Red Smyrna Raisins are-wanted at 37s to 39s for old, but the
stock is nearly exhausted.
Rici.—A further reduction in priceshaving been submitted
to of 6d to 9d per cwt for Bengal Rice, has occasioned an im-
provement to take place in the demand, and the parcels
brought forward, amounting to 3,801 bags, were sold at and
after the public sales.
Sinces.—Tc-day black Pepper met with more attention;
at public sale 1,550 bags of Tellicherry were offered, and sold
at firm prices: 1,402 bags of Malabar sold at the full worth.

Cocinslem..—The demand has been good for all sorts,
and at public sale 108 bags of Honduras were all sold at
rather higher rates, and went at 4s 4d to 5s 3d for very ord
to good silvers.
Wocan.—Prices cannot be quoted lower generally for Fo-
reign or Colonial, bat the amount of business transacted
has been to a small extent only. For English the market
has a dull appearance, and late rates are not obtainable.
SALTYETlM—'Phisafternoon, at public sale, 700 bags of
Calcatta were taken in, white 2% per cent. refraction at 25s
6d to 2Gs, but the unrefracted sold at 22s 6d to 25s Gd.
TuItrENTINE —The demand has fallen off for Spirits, and
prices
have assumed a downward tendency, although the
supply in small, 55s to 56s per cwt having been accepted.
There is, however, a large quantity being consumed. Rough
is cheaper, and only small parcels have been sold at 103 per
cwt. For Tar,prices are lowering, 17s having been taken for
a cargo of Stockholm, and 18s to 18s 61 per barrel for small
parcels of Archangel.
Hons.—Although there are sellers of all descriptions upon
further reduced terms, still only a limited business has been
transacted; the large quantities that ate yet brought to
market, causing the trade to operate with caution.
INDIGO.—The October public sales, which commenced on
the 6th instant, have terminated. The quantity declared
for sale was 21,393 chests, viz., 16,197 chests Bengal and
Benares, 382 Oudes. 4,674 Madras and Kurpahs, 114 Ma-
nilla, and 26 Bitnlipatam,of which 795 lots were not printed,
leaving 20,598 chests for sale, which presented the following
assortments :-500 chests of fine and very fine shipping qua-
lity, 1,100 chests good and tine ditto, 2,700 chests mid
and good do, 5,000 chests good and fine consumers and ord
and shipping quality, 5,600 chests ord to middling consuming
quality, 424 chests low and defective sorts, 285 chests Oude,
2,810 chests Kurpah, 1,939 chests Madras, 26 chests Bimli.
wain, 114 chests Manilla : total, 20,598 chests. We
do not remember so small an attendance of foreign
and home buyers, and so uneven and flat a rate;
this is not, however, to be wondered at, when we
look at the enormous quantity declared, which threw a sort
of panic amongst the general class of buyers, and nullified
the effect which the late advices from Calcutta, representing
the crop as not likely to exceed 90,000 maunds, would have
had under ordinary clezumstances.
Oias.—Southern Oil has been in excellent request by
private treaty, and the supply of all descriptions having
fallen cff this week, higher prices have been paid. The
home trade have been the principal operators. In Seal
a good deal has been done, and at firm rates.
In Cod Oil many purchases have been made in
consequence of holders accepting 261 to 271. Sperm has met
with increased attention, and a large business has been trans-
acted at prices showing a considerable advantage on those of
this day week. Of Fish Oils none has been brought to
public sale since this day week, and during that time
the arrivals were small, whilst the deliveries wore good.
Linseed Oil has risen in value, the home demand on the spot
having been good, extensive purchases having been made
for Ameria. and a fair quantity being taken fur other parts.
In Rape Seed Oil only a limited business has been transacted,
and prices are lowering. The consumption is however going
on satisfactorily, and there- is not a large supply. Cocoa
Nut has been purchased with avidity, and owing to the
small supply at market a further advance in the value has
taken place. In Palm large sales have been wade, and
stiff rates are paid. American Lard Oils wanted, and prices
advanc, d to 401 to 461 per tun.
TALLOW.—Russian on the spot has been purchased with
eagerness all the week by soap-makers and chandlers ; the
arrivals continuing to be small, a further advance in
prices has taken place, fine' new Petersburgh Yellow
Candle b,inging 49, Gd to 49s 9d per cwt; and even at
which high - rates there are not tree sellers, owing to the
small stock, and the quantity to arrive being much less than
last season. For forward delivery the operations have been
upon a large scale at 49s 3d to 49s 6d up to the
end 'of the year, and at 493 Gd to 503 per cwt
for the three first months of 1847. House made is
much wanted, and the supply being' insufficient' for the de-
mand, a further advacce in prices has taken place, 498 having
been paid, 'lett cash. Other sorts have been in excellent re-
quest privately. and prices are yet on tl:e advance, the supply
being small. New South Wales brought 47s to 50s, and
American 46s to 49s Gd.
