HE MARKETS.

'From the Londot New Price Current of Tuexday, July la.)

_
Cm-row.-The demand for Cotton last week was moderate,
about 550 bales having been sold for export at the previous rates;
the sales were as follow :-480 Surats, 40. ordinary to 531,
good ; 40 Bengals, sd. a bid. good fair ; 10 Boweds,
in bond. The inquiries for Cotton yesterday and this forenoon
appear nearly suspended ; no sales were reported. The Cotten
used for home-manufacture for the last 6 months is nearly one-
third less than preceding years; the best-informed and the capi-
talists are of opinion that the use of Cotton goods will be greatly
affected by silks; the competition of the English, the French, and
East India, producing its natural consequences, prices exceedingly
low, which will promote the consumption of silk goods to a great
extent. At a late hour the inquiries revived; Surate sold 4jd. a
50., 80 Bengals, qd. a sd. ; 60 Pernams, 10(1. a 1 Nal.
Sucaa.-The demand for fine Sugars and for very low quali-
ties was considerable last week ; both descriptions sold rather
higher, but the sales were not extensive, as the buyers only pur-
chased for their immediate wants, as they anticipated large sup-
plies of new Muecovades this morning ; the only Sugars that hung
heavily on the market, and could be purchased cheap, were those
from 525. a 565. This morning the show of new MUSCOVidet
not so extensive as what had been generall anticipated : the deli
veries last week were nearly the same as the corresponding period
of last year. The buyers being disappointed in the show of Su-,
gars, evinced no inclination to purchase, except for their immediate
wants ; there was little alteration in the prices by private contract;;
the estimated sales by private contract were about 800 casks. Matt-
ritius Sugar, 3421 bags, the whole went off freely, the grey sn4
brown ls. lower ; the yellow, suitable for grocery, fully supported
the previous prices.-St. Lucia, 100 hhds. 26 brls. sold 525. a 555.
a shade lower.-Java, 214. baskets, 245. a 321. rather lower.--
Barbadoes, 121 bhda., 595. a '7os., also at a small decline. At
the close of the market to-day, Sugars at public sales were sa..
Is. lower. The shippers did not purchase Refined for export
last week, though the prices have fallen 4s. and is., nearly in pro-
portion to the withdrawing of the bounty, which places them ill
the same situation which they were inpreviously to the sth inst. I
Lumps, then 795. and 80s., were last week offered at 745. ; the,
only purchasers were the wholesale grocers for the home consump-
tion of the country ; they bought considerable parcels at a decline
of about 21. per cwt.-Molasses were 255. a 2 ts. 6d. ; some good
Dominic,* Molasses sold 275. The wholesale grocers continued
their purchases for the home consumption of the country this
morning, but not on an extensive scale; the prices were little va-
ried; Lumps dull at 744.-Molasses fell to 245. In Foreign
Sugars there was no material alteration to notice last week; some
good white Havannah Sugar sold 38s. and 40s.
Corrine.-Than public sales of last week went off heavily ; 111
descriptions of British Plantation sold about 2s. lower; the
Foreign were without variation ; fine ordinary Brazil sold 455. it
455. 6d. ; good ordinary Jamaica, 481. to 51s. ; tine ordinary,
535. to 565. ; good ordinary Dutch, 48s. There was only one
public sale of Coffee this forenoon, 342 bags Mocha good ordivarYi
but very much mixed with black beans, 65c-shove one-ba?l
sold. By private contract there are no purchases reported; it as
indeed rumoured, that 2,000 bags St. Domingo have been die
posed of, for money, several shillings below the market prices;
but the report is not believed.
Russ, BRANDY, amen 1101.1.1N05,--There were extensive I°-
quirks after Rum last week, on account of the reported failure ci
the Spring Corn Crop, and the probable rise in the prices °f
English Spirits; but the purchases actually made were by na
means extensive. No Leewarda could be purchased under
10d., and or 3 over were offered at the same price ; the mid-
dling qualities of Jamaica. Ruin continue neglected; 30 over Sc,
and 82 over 3s. 2d. There were some more sales of Brandy' of
1825, at 2s. 10d. per old gallon • but the market since boa be-
come very heavy, the prices receding to the rates current fe::
viousay to the alteration of reinforcing old Brandies. Geneva

a late hour to-day, proof Leeward* sold at Is. 10d., new ;
of 1824, at 2s. 10d., old measure.
INDiao.-We gave the particulanrof the opening of the BO;
India sale on Tuesday last ; since whiCh there has been eery bow
alteration in the prices, except the fine qualities, which sio
shade lower ; the whole goes off steadily, and with much fig**
nee ; it is whet is termed a good sale, the Oude 'being the 001/
indigo which does not sell. This day there was no alteration in
the prices, the demand still good, and the fine selling at hill!Wr
rates to-day on account of the competition among the Forest°
buyers; the sale is expected to close on Thursday.

rels, the belt Stis. ; Guayaquil, 100 bags, 40s.
Faurr.--Valeticia l ian s have become in great demand,
sales have been made at the quoted prices; the holders are oil'
asking higher prices. Dumas, in baskets, are going off me
freely, and 335. has been obtained for the best parcel". Red
Smyrna and Caribous Raisins are, in consequence, more ought
after; the stock of good quality being small, and the importer/
'looking for higher prices. In the other description' there i‘
nothing to notice.
Hoes.---The prices of old Hops are entirely nominal ; the 3,e:
counts from the country state the picking will be early, as 06
Hops are getting fast into burr, and generally look healthy. eol
Well ;in some places the fire-blast is mentioned, but the geutil
report is exceedingly favourable ; the duty has not, however, Pi'
vanced since our last publication; it is 195,000/.

nearly 700 tons sold, about 47/. ; since which 501. has
realised; and the holders to-day are asking 31/. In G 1,„„

Oil there are no sales ; the trade waiting the event of the Northern
Fisheries; other Oils are at the quotations of last week, and
market generally heavy.
TOHACCO.—The business doing in Tobacco is still confined t:
il
small parcels to the trade, too inconsiderable to enumerate. ./

ing Richmond, Virginia, June 19.—Tobacco has
about 2 doll. per lOOlbs. for fine qualities and a (tattle ailysno'
may be expected, from the favourable accounts received jr
