LONDON MARKETS.

(From the Loam; New Price Current of yesterday.)
&max.—The destruction of property in Jamaica ha
produced a little rise in our market; the ultimate efect
is likely to be much more considerable ; the ad►ance in
Muscovades this week is fully is. per cwt., with a very
firm market; the estimated sales are 2,700 hhds. and
tees. The demand for Refined considerably abated last
week, owing chiefly to several reported cases of cholera
morbus having occurred here, but, as this disease does not
spread, it is expected that vessels sailing from hence will
shortly be allowed clean bills of health ; with this idea
several purchases of large and small Lumps were made at
the prices of last week ; fine crashed of good quality is
still held for 31e., but for this description there are but
few buyers, and 30e. is the highest price offered.
EAST INDIA Suaarts.—The public sales have offered
1,364 bags Manilla, 322 bags Bengal; the first were finis
yellow, and bought in from 225. a 235. 6d. ; the latter
were sold, ordinary white 225. 6d. a 235. 6d., good white
245. 6d. a 25r. 6d., fine white 26e., being about former
prices; 4,656 bags Mauritius have been reported this week.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—The public sales offered 700 Ants
Havannah, and 50 chests 57 bile Pernamv, the first were
of soft quality, ordinary white were bought in from 295.6 d.
a 30s. 6d., the damaged white sold from 20s. 6d. a 294.6 d.
fine yellow soft bought in from 225. 6d. a 230 , ordinary
yellow sold at 21s. 6d., which is rather lower; Pername,
brown sold at 155., yellow soft from 17s. a 18s., ordinary
white 21s. 6d. a 221. 6d. By private contract nothing
has been done.

COFFEE.-British Plantation continues in very limited
demand, but for Foreign sorts there is more inquiry, and
some business concluded by private contract, at prices about
31. a 4s. lower than at the highest price in December last,
about 2,000 bags St. Domingo of very good quality liav
ing been sold from 545. to 555. The public sales have
been limited to 196 casks British Plantation, and 1,404
bags Foreign ; the former was all withdrawn, excepting a
few lots of good ord. Jamaica and mid. Berbice, which
were sold at a reduction of 2s. a 3e. ; Brazil, good to
fine ord. was bought in from 535. 6d. a 571. 6d. ; damaged
sold from 451. 6d. a 475. ; St. Domingo, good ord, bought
in at 545. This day's public sale, 350 bales Mocha, about
one. third sold at a decline of '7ll. a Ss., and 10s. a 12s.
from the late highest point of the market, 725. a 735. is
now taken for what sold some time ago at 83s. and 84s.
Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.....The news from
J =Lica has occasioned more firmness in the Rum market,
and, if the trade of the country was not in such a depressed
state, the rise in Rum would be immediate and consider..
able ; several parcels of Rum have changed hands this
week at prices a shade higher, and many houses will not
sell at present prices; proof Leeward. 2 to 3 over
Is. sd. Brandy is held with confidence, owing to the re-
newed opinion of the duty being reduced, also the im-
provement of the demand, on account of the cholera
morbus. In Genera there is no alteration.

TALLOW.—The market is very dull, and the prices
declining.

SiLic.---The market is still very flat, and very little
doing ; there is no alteration in prices since our last.

Tan.—Boheas in large chests are at 44. Id. ; Congou
chests at 44. I id. There continues to be some inquiry
for cheap Congoua.

_ ...
SricEs.—Pimento sells more freely, the fine 6d. and
6id., mid. kid. In other Spices there is little doing, and
no alteration in the currency.
RICE.—The prices of Rice are a shade higher.
Corrow.—Cottons are held with firmness, but there are
no purchases by private contract this week worth report-
ing. The sales to-day have gone off with spirit at full
prices--say 41d. a 4id. a few 5d., ord. to good fair ;
1,750 sold.

FRUlT.—There is still very little doing, and the sales
continue confined to small parcels of the common descrip-
tions.

IRISH PROVISIONS.-For Butter there has been a fair
sale during the week, but no improvement in price can be
noted, except in some partial instances ; tke stock being
heavy at the wharfs, and the cheesemongers impressed with
the idea that there is still a considerable supply to come
forward from Ireland before the end of the season, deter
them from purchasing but to meet their immediate wants.
Bacon is leas saleable than it was in the early part of the
week, and for any other article under this head we cannot
note any material alteration in price or demand since our
last.

INDIGO PUBLIC SALE, FEE. 23 AND 24.—The sales
were composed of 1,322 chests Bengal, Tuhoot, but
mostly Benares;of ord. quality ; 600 Oude, and 60 Madras,
of which 350 Bengal (mostly by the William, recently
imported), were withdrawn ; the remainder sold with more
spirit than could be expected, at about last Company's
October sale's prices, or on an average at a discount of 4d.
on the last sale's prices.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the Returns made in the week ending Feb. 24, is 245. 7d.
per cwt., exclusive of the duties of customs paid or payable thereon
on the importation thereof into Great Britain.
