LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Friday.)

RUM, BRANDS, AND HOLLAND& —The demand for
Leeward Islands Rum has revived considerably ; the pur-
chases this week are estimated at nearly 400 plum,
chiefly proofs to 2 over at 2s. 2d., 4 and 6 over 2s. Sd.
a 2s. 4d ; a parcel of fine Jamaica SO over, had been sold
about 4s. per gallon. The demand for Brandy is still in-
considerable ; some of the best marks have, however, been
inquired after, and they are held with firmness on account
of the small supply at market. The quotations of Geneva
are nominal—there is a demand, but no supplies. At a
late hour today the holders of Leeward Rums are sanguine
of obtaining still higher prices, on account of the new
Government contract announced for 100,000 gallons._
Some ratker large orders for export are up in the Market
unexecuted.

HEMP, FLAX, and Tatr.ow.—The demand for Tallow
has been considerable, the prices are advancing and firm at

siderable orders for Tallow from France. Hemp is rather
higher. In Flax there is little alteration. The letters from
St. Peter burgh are of the `27th ult. Exchange 10d.
