TOVON MARKETS.

(From the'New Loudon Price Current of Friday. )

• -
SUGAR.--The demand for Muscovades this week
has been most extensive: in the four days the esti-
mated sales were 6,300 and tierces. There is

little variation in the prices, but the holders are very
firm ac the improvement we mentioned on Friday
last. . The holders meet the demand freely, and the
anxiety of the buyers to purchase and get into stock,
appears still to increase. By public sale tlris fore-
noon 177 hhds. 25 trs. and 31 buh. St. Lucia Sugars,
generally of low browns, which sold at full prices,
chiefly 's3s. a 575. The Refined Market, early in
the week, was in a most languid state;" Low Lumps
were purchased at 775., and the general currency
775. 6d. The demand has since improved consi-
derably, and the prices are fit]. to Is. per cwt.
higher. For fine goods the demand has been rather
on an extensive scale, and the prices are Is. higher.
Lew Bastards are 2s. and the fine 3s. higher. Mo-
lasses brisk.

EAST INDIA SUGAR.--By public sale on Tuesday
3,987 boxes Mauritius, the whole sold heavily, and
at rather lower prices, the quality was inferior ; se-
veral parcels have, however, since been resold at an
advance of Is. liengal Sugars are again rather more
in demand to-day.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—There are no purchases of
Foreign Sugars by private contract; only a small
parcel of fine white Havannah is left on the Market,
for which 50s. is asked. To-day 191 chests Havan-
nan, yellow 365. 6d:, brown 325. 6d.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.--The demand and prices
are improving; several sales are reported at 255.
Stocks 3,706 casks.
CoFFEa.--The public sales of Coffee are confined
to British Plautation descriptions ; the ordinary Ja-
maica, so long neglected, and selling so much below
the usual proportion of the other descriptions, appear
to have attached attention, and sell freely at rather
a higher currency. In Foreign no purchases are re-
ported • very few parcels are offering for sale. There
were jhree public sales to-day, 632 casks British
Plantation, 122 hags East India, and 55 casks, 495
bags Havannah, the latter good to fine ord. small
bean but bad colour, all taken in. The British Plan-
tation was chiefly Jamaica, every variety, but
chiefly fine ord. to mid, sold with briskness at higher
prices. The Coffee Market is firm and improving.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The transac-

lions in Rum this week are rather limited, but the
late prices for Leewards are fully supported ; very
considerable shipping orders appear still on the
market, but they me limited to about 2s. sd. for
proofs free on board, and they cannot at present be
executed. Jamaica Rum appears rather heavy, but
there are no sellers at any reduction. Brandies are
held firmly for higher prices, and the accounts from
France are favourable fur the advance. Several par-
cels of Holland and German Geneva have been sold.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLow.—There has been

little alteration in the prices of Tallow; consi4eruble
purchases have been reported. The late advance
in Hemp has been maintained. In Flax there is
little variation.

Rich:.,—Bengal Rice has been in limited request;
the late prices are, however, supported; 1,05.5 bags
at public sale 16s, 6d. a 175., and nearly the whole
sold at the latter, mid. quality. Carolina Rice is
more inquired after, considerable parcels have been
sold.

IRISH PROVISIONS.—In Beef there is no altera-
tion. Pork here is rather lower, and parcels free on
board are 2s. Gd. higher. Butters are firm at the
late advance. The stock of last season's barrels of
Pork of prime quality entirely sold off, and very little
India Beef and Pork remain on hand. A few sales
of new India Pork have been effected this week for
NOvember and December shipments at .5/. 10s. and
5/. 12s. Gd. Tierces of new Mess Beef at Dublin
for this and next month have been sold at 5/. 2s. Gd.
and 5/. per tierce.
• COTTON.—The inquiries after Cotton are more
general, but no extensive purchases are yet reported.
