THE MARKETS

PLANTATION SUGARS.—The Market opened this
morning for the first time, since the holidays, and a
good portion of business was done, at steady prices ;
up to the present hour about 1,000 hhds. had been
sold. The Stock in the West India Docks is this
week only 8,480 hhds., and tierces less than last
year, and the weeks delivery .574 hhds. and trs. less.
Foxistonr SUGARS.—Nothing doing.
REFINED SUGARS.—The demand continues dull,
and the business doing is rather limited; Brown
Lumps continue to be taken off slowly at from 81s.
to 825., a few parcels of crashed hare been sold at
rather lower prices; the Grocers have been doing
rather more business than for some time past.
COFFEE.—There are few inquiries for Foreign,
but the holders do not appear disposed to take the
pnreeitsbeen price

beenanyth been no
ingdone privately public sales,s;nce
the holidays.

FRUIT.—A public Sale of damaged Fruit was
brought forward this morning, and went off as fol-
lows; viz. Butts Currants 87s. to 88s.; Caroteels
ditto at 905.; Red Smyrna Raisins 435. to 445.;
Carobourna aisins in drums 455. to 48s. A small
parcel Cape Raisins, sound, at 40s. to 41s.
COTTON.—The demand for Egyptian Cotton is
brisk, and as the stock of this article is not much
more than half so great as at this period last year,
the holders anticipate an advance. From 7id.l to
71d. is freely given for good fair. Other Cottons
are not so much enquired after, and prices are about
the same, with a tendency to improve. The deli-
veries of Egyptian Cotton sinse Friday, have ex-
ceeded 122,000 pounds. East India Cottons meet
purchasers for shipment readily.
In INDIGO there are no bargains of importance.
The East India sale on the 22d instant, will put a
stop to any large bargains, until the result of the de-
claration is known. Mercantile letters from Hol-
land and Hamburgh, assert that the Markets there
were not plentifully stocked with this article,
although the shipments from hence in the last three
months, have been very considerable. The quantity
to be sold at the East India House, is 4,350 chests.

In SILL there has been a good deal doing within
the last week, and the quotations of most descrip-
tions are from 6d. to 9d. higher. The manufacturers
are eager purchasers.
In Russian produce there is no material alteration.
Tallow is, if any thing, a shade lower, but the spe-
culations are insignificant. The demand for home
trade is not quite so brisk. Hemp is in demand at
a slight advance in price.
The only entry for the export of bullion since our
last report, was yesterday, when 2,500 oz. of foreign
gold coin, was noted for export to Rotterdam. The
rapid advance in the exchanges in the last three or
four days, must tend to check further shipments for
the present.
The Customs Lists show a great falling off in im-
ports and exports in the present, as compared with
those of the three other quarters of the year. Indeed
for a long series of years past, the Ship Reports
List has not presented such a
gloomy appearance,
the arrivals having been so very limited. The ship-
ping interest is in an unusually depressed state, and
the carrying trade is rapidly devolving into the hands
of foreigners.

COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.
NORWICH, Dec. 29.
Our market continues to be well supplied with Grain.
The Wheat trade was very heavy, but the farmers would
not give way much in prices, the average may be called Is.
per quarter lower than last week. Barley is much the
same as Wheat, and is reckoned Is. per quarter lower,
though we cannot alter our currency. Oats, Beans, and
Pease, partake of the general dullness, as also does Flour,
all owing to an increase of supply.
Wheat (per qr.) ... 445. 565. 60s. I Beans (per qr.)
Barley
Oats 24s. 28s. 30s. Flour, fine (per sack) 40s. 425.

CANTERBURY, Dec. 29.
The supply of Grain was liberal upon our Exchange
this day, and Wheat of fine quality obtained the price of
our last quotations ; but Barley and Beans having much
increased in quantity, were from Is. to 2s. per quarter
lower. Grey Pease and Oats were also 2s. per quarter

cheaper.
Wheat, white s6s. to 600.
