LONDON MARKETS.

( From the London New Price Current of last evening.)
SUGAR.-The demand for West India Muscovades this
week has been steady, and very considerable, both by grocers
and refiners ; the latter have reaped great advantages from the
late great demand for Refined goods, which they have not been
able to supply. The estimated sales of West India Sugars
for this week are 3,200 hhds. and trs. ; the prices are higher,
on account of the general request, and the wind continuing to
the northward and eastward, preventing the usual arrivals ;
the consumption has lately been greater than the landings.
This afternoon the show of Sugars left on sale is limited in
quantity, and inferior in quality ; the prices are now decidedly
6d. to Is. higher ; the arrivals quite inadequate to the de-
mand. The refiners continue unable to meet the general re-
quest for goods; the sales of fine crashed lately are at 355.,
and few parcels can be bought at that rate ; grocery goods are
also higher. There is no alteration in Refined this afternoon,
Crashed, the long price 755. 6d. a 765., the short 355.
MAURITIUS.-There have been no public sales lately, and
few purchases by private contract ; the public sale this day,
there, attracted much attention, particularly as the quality was
very fine. By public sale this forenoon 7,718 bags Mauritius
Sugar sold with briskness, 6d. a Is. per cwt higher all round,
brown 49s a 525. 6d., yellow 535. 6d. a 615., grey 535., a

year; the greater proportion sold 20s. 6d. a 21s. 6d.
COFFEE.-The East India Coffee subject to the duty of 9d.
per lb. for the home consumption, may be stated ss. higher
this week, arising from the expected lowering of the duty,
about 3,000 bags and bales are reported to be sold, including
the quantity of Mocha ; Samarang sold 665. a 675. 6d. ; com-
mon Sumatra 455. a 475. 6d. ; Mocha common quality 70s. a

contract this evening 500 bags Brazil are reported sold, low
good to fine ord. 51s. a 555. ; good ord. Havannah at 545.
COCOA.-By public sale 122 bags Brazil of a peculiar red
quality sold 365. 6d. and 375., we have seldom seen such Co-
coa in this market; the general price of Brazil Cocoa must
however be stated at 30s. ; British Plantation descriptions
must be noted lower ; some Grenada sold 445. a 50s. 6d. By
public sale this day 220 bags Grenada Cocoa, good red taken
at 475. 6d. and 485., damaged sold 455. 6d.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There are few transac-
tions in Rum to report ; there are few arrivals, and the holders
are not disposed to accept of lower prices. Proof Leewards
are still nominally 2s. a 2s. ld., yet there is still a heaviness
about the market, and some Jamaicas are sold at 35., a shade
under• the former market currency. In Brandy or Geneva
there is no new feature.
TALLOW.-The Tallow maket is in a very uncommon state,
the Russian merchants in St. Petersburg have succeeded in
their application to the government there, in procuring a loan
of money to the extent of nearly half a million of money on
their Tallow, under the plea that the English merchants and
other Foreigners were depreciating the value of this article of
Russian produce improperly, by selling for a distant period of
delivery, both at Petersburg, in London and other places, and
that the Russian merchants could not hold it and obtain fair
prices for it, owing to the want of adequate capital. In con-
sequence of this intelligence, the prices here are nearly
nominal, the selling for a distant period, is of consequence at
an end.
TEA.-The market which was looking buoyant, has been
again stagnated by the announcement of above 50,000 chests
of Tea for sale within a fortnight.
Hors.-The market is dull, the fine warm weather has
made the plant grow rapidly, and checked the attack of blight;
within the last few days, since the weather changed again to
cool, there has been a fresh accession of blight, and the crop
cannot be considered out of all danger from its effects. The
prices are nominal.
RICE.-The public sales of Rice, 6,762 bags East India,
establish a market currency, as the great proportion sold ;
good white Bengal I Is. a I Is. 6d. very good, Patna kind
12s. Gd. a 135., mid. yellow Madras Bs. 6d. a 9s. 6d , very
ord. cargo Rice 7s. 6d. a Bs. By public sale this day. 500
bags fine Bengal Rice, I ls, a 1 Is. 6d. all sold.
sALITE•rar.- At the public sales 5,114 bags 2 ri 61 re-
fraction sold 23,:. 64. a 215., very superior quality. large ,;ri,s-
tal. 255. id. At the conclusion of these sales there was much
more animation than at their commencement.
WOOL.-During the week there have been three public
s dos ,f Wool, consisting of about 1,290 bales New Sootli
Wales, Cape. and other descriptions ; there was a great at-
tendance of manufacturers, and the prices have advanced 5 to
10 per cent, on those obtained at this season last year. There
were two more public sales this afternoon, amounting to about
670 bales, which were proceeding, at the hour we went to
press, with briskness, at about the prices of the former sales.
