THE MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Tuesday.)
SUGA.R.-7The Sugar Market last week was uncommonly
heavy, the. daily sales not exceeding 300 hhds. Musco.
vales, and generally at a further reduction in the prices;
the decline from the . late highest point is about 2s. per
cwt.; the good Sugars which sold at 625. selling now at
605.; the brown formerly at 575. now offering about 555.
The Market opened heavily this morning, though by a re-
ference to the lists it will be found the comparative stock
in the Warehouse is decreasing. The deliveries from the
Warehouses last week are considerably less than in 1825.
A

t the close of the Market this day the salei of Musco-
vades were estimated at only 250 hhds. In the Refined
Market there was great heavinecs last week, and though
the stock is considerable, yet lower prices were accepted,
and the reduction of the currency did not facilitate sales to
any extent. The Refined Market is exceedingly heavy
to-day, and la. per cwt.. lower. Foreign Sugars were no-
minal last week, on account of the public sales advertised
for this day,'---Sugar Sales this forenoon 24 hhds. and 37
barrels Porto Rico ; Muscovades for export, good strong
yellow, 295. 6d. a 30s. 6d. ; Bengal 1058 bags fine dry
white, 345. and 355. ; Mauritius 302 bags sold.at the short
price, on account of no certificate, 245. a 355. The Ben-
gal Sugars sold Is. a Is. 6d. under the late highest prices.
The Mauritius 2s. a 3s. lower, but the latter being sold
for export only is no criterion f the Market.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market has
been rather heavy, the price yesterday 395. and feW buyers,
though the accounts from St. Petersburgh were so very
favourable, 3,800 casks sold at 102 rubles; the exchange
bad advanced to 9-15 16 or s The delivery of Tal-
low last week in London, 2,528 casks, about the same
quantity as the corresponding week of last year.' The
stock is now 30,000 casks less than in 1825. Tallow at
a late hour 38s. 9d.

COTTON.—The Cotton Market, which was steady on
the first of last week, became very animated on Friday on
account of the favourable intelligence from Liverpool and
Manchester. The chief of the following sales have since
taken place, and the advanee, was fully an id. on the pre-
vious prices. The sales up to last night inclusive are—
In bond, 800 Bengals, 4id. a 50.; 150 Surat:, sid. a
51d.; 90. Bowed, bid. a 6/d.; 40 Smyrna, 11d. Duty
paid. 60 Caraccas, Sid. 6id.; 2,000 ptian, Id. a
7id.; 80 Barbadocs, Id. .a 9/d. The inquiries continue
this morning; about 400 bags have been sold, chiefly
Egyptian, at 'lid.

COM:E.-The Coffee Market last week was dull and
uninteresting. The Jamaica and other British plantation
descriptions sold 6d. a Is. lower, particularly the coloury
middling descriptions, which have lately rated high. St.
Domingo was 60s. There were three public sales this
forenoon, consisting of 306 casks 68 bags plantation, and
151 bags Foreign, • the whole went off heavily. The Ja-
maica description at a further decline of 2s. per cwt., fine
middling valued at 925. a 935. sold at 905., good middling
valued at 83s. a 84s. sold at 80s. a tells. 6d., nearly fine
ordinary valued at 565. a 575. sold at 545., good ordinary
rank and mixed 51s. tid., the St. Domingo 152 bags taken
in at 50s. 6d. and 495. 6d., for the fine ordinary 50s. was
offered and refused. We make Jamaica Coffee 2s, lower,
Foreign heavy and a shade lower.
OIL.-The Oil market is heavy and lower.. Southern
Oil, which had advanced to 38/. sold at public sale at 351.
The market afterwards improved, hut so fluctuating, that
it has again given way; there is no Greenland Oil at
market, nor any recent account from the fisheries, but the.
owners of the ships are offering the Oil for arrival about
351.; Spermaceti 61/. and 62/.; Gallipoli giving way 11.
to 2/.; Seed Oils are heavy.
IRISII PROVISIONS.-We gave the report on Tuesday
last of the Provision Contract with Government being
taken at 6/. 12a. 6d, per tierce. The following is now be-
lived to be the more correct statement tra. Navy
Beef and 6,000.tr5. Navy Pork, to be delivered at Dept-
ford, Ports Mouth, and Plymouth, at 61. 7s. 6d. per tierce
all round, which is calculating the Beef at 51: i4,s, per
tierce, and the Pork at 6/. 17s. per tierce, being full 11.
12s. per tierce under last year's prices. As soon as the
prices fully transpired, it caused a reduction in prices of
present stock full ss. per cask, and before the price of
contract could be known, Pigs had fallen in Belfast 10s.
per cwt. From the .best sources of information it is fully
expected that prices of Cattle and Pigs will be very low.
The Potatoe Crop in Ireland is now proved to be much
more favourable than could be anticipated, Newfoundland
beinf permitted to be supplied from Ilamburgh, which
deprives Waterford and Limerick Of a demand of full
2,000 barrels of Pork (and it is an ascertained fact, that
before last year, upon an average, near 5,000 barrels Beef
were shipped to the West Indies from Dublin, and last
year only 500 barrels), present season Provisions now in
the market it is expected, from the stock not being large,
will go off. From the probability of a great fall in the
price of new, no house will order Provisions. Butters
are heavy. Bacon, 625.-dull.

ASIII:S.-By public sale last week, Ist Pearls 28s. 6d.;
second, 265.; lit Pots, 255. 6d. a 265. It is believed
that nearly the whole was taken in at the above prices.
COCOA.-By public said last week, 230 bags Brazil
Cocoa sold ; the good quality 425. and 425. 6d.
FRUIT.-The first arrival of New Fruit at public sale
on Friday :-Muscatel Raisins, in bunches, 1,500 boies,
5/. 10s. a 5/. 125.; 620 half ditto, ditto, 6/. 10s. a
61. 135.; 906 quarter ditto, ditto, 71. 2s. a 71. 56.; 164
boxes Jordan Almonds, 50 half ditto, ditto, 10/.105.; 300
jars Grapes, 215.-taken in.
SPIcEs.-Spices continue heavy, and at rather lower
prices ; the best Nutmegs were forced off last week at
3s. 10d. ; for the same quality 4s. has since been realised.
Barbadoes Ginger.-By public sale last week a large par-
cel 565. a 61s. At a late hour to-day a large parcel of half
heavy Pepper was sold at 41d.
INDIGO.-The demand for Indigo continues general ;
parcel of Oude bought early last week has been re-sold at
a considerable advance, reported about 3d. per,lb.•
Toucco.-The limited demand for Tobacco for export
and by the trade has been completely suspended, by the
declaration of a large parcel above 1,100 Mids., about one-
half of the stock of a holder, which is now forced into the
Market by commercial embarrassments; it is to be pc-
ker9torily sold on the 25th inst. in Holland.
HUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS..-.The Rum Market
has rather improved. Leewards, 5 over, have been sold
at 2s. 5d., and the stock of Leewards is in so few hands,

goods, generalli,
said that the a vance in price is sufficient
to warrant
much confidence in a continued demand. A consi-
derable number of additional hands have been taken
on by some of our first-rate houses this week an cl
several mills, which were recently -
time, are now in full operation.ping at only half
'fins augurs well for
the future; but we seriously h that our leading
manufacturers will be cautious ope
how they again over-
stock the market. One great cause of the stagnation
and ruin was undoubtedly over production. The
latest bulletin from the South
on the subject of trade,
we rejoice to see is still more favourable than our own.

Our linen market to-day was much brisker than for
some weeks, but not the least improvement in prices.
