in 1827. The deliveries continue more extensive
than last year; the latter averaged about 2,600
casks per week to the erad of December; this year
it is expected they will be much more considerable.
At the close of the market the sales of Muscovades•
this day were only 300 hhds. The prices of good
and strong Sugars are decidedly higher. In the
Refined market last week the purchases were so ex-
tensive that few goods were left on sale ; the prices
continue gradually advancing; the request-was not
confined to one description of goods.‘ The low qua-
lities were as eagerly bought by the exporters, as
the fine by the wholesale grocers for the home•con-
sumption of the country. Crushed were in request
for the Mediterranean. Bastards were neglected.—
Molasses were heavy,. and 6d. lower. Nearly all
the Refined goods offering this morning are again
cleared off, and contracts are freely entered into for
goods to be ready the next and following weeks.—
The market is excessively firm.
FOREIGN SUGAL—The only sales reported is a
parcel of ord. and mid..yellow, from 345. a 355. 6d.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.--There were no public
sales of Mauritius last ,week, but the demand by
private contract for parcels for immediate shipment
was considerable, chiefly low yellows, of which
'about 1,000 bags were reported to be purchased at
very full prices.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—The stock of West
India Molasses here is 4,973 c sks ; the deliveries
last week 70 casks; the sale re some Antigua,
at 255.
CorFEß.—The sales of Coffee last week were
considerable, but not so extensive as during the pre-
ceding week; the late advance was, however, not
only fully maintained, but in the fine ord. to ord.
mid. coloury Jamaica there was a further advance of

ls. a 25.; the Berhiee for home consumption sold
also on higher terms; the other descript►ons sold
freely at . full prices. Manilla good ord. pale 38s.
and 38s. Gd. By private contract 700 bags St. Do-
mingo were stated to be sold, the good ord. 365. Gd.
a 38s. There were no public sales this forenoon;
the Market remains firm.

BUAI, BRANDY, AND HoLLANns.—Towards the
close of the last week• the demand for Leeward Rum

became general and extensive, but the speculators, it
was • found, had cleared off all the Leeward Island
Rum from the Market; the purchases were nearly
1,500 puns.; for the, few that offer, an advance of
Id. per gallon is demanded, and it would be difficult
to purchase any quantity at this advance, as the.spe-
culators look for a great rise on account of the rise
of 3d. per gallon in Britisli spirits, the question of
reduction of duty, and also the short stock compar-
ed with previous years; at the close of 1827 one-
half of the stock was Leeward Island Rum ; it is
now one-third, and likely to be much farther de-
creased before the close of the season. -In Jarnaica
Rums there is little alteration. The advance in
Brandies is fully maintained; the sales last week
are from 400 to 500 casks, •at very full prices.
Geneva is without alteration.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The decrease its

the comparative stock, and the extensive deliveries,
occasioned a brisk market last week in Tallow; the
large and increasing demand _for France, :and some
speculative purchases, occasioned a further,
,advance
in the prices of 6d. to Is. per cwt. 'ln Hemp or
Flax there was ne material alteration. The letters
from St. Petersburgh are dated the 25th ult. Tallow
103 to 105 rubles; bought 4,000 casks; shipped
off, 151,000; bought not shipped 4,000; remain
7,000; freight 325. 6d.; ditto-
.Heinp 555.; Ex-
change 1019-32 d.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—There is no alteration in
Beef and Pork. The arrivals of Butters are exten-
sive; last week 27,329 firkins from Ireland, 7,039
casks Foreign--. 1,251 bales Bacon.
BRAZIL WOOD.--Friday 23 tons lair Wood sold
at 351.

Rim—There is no vftriation in Rice ; the sales
are confined to small parcels at the late prices.
FRUIT.—The holders of Fruit appear to have
made a successful stand against the late rapid decline
in prices, and' the general rush to make sales at what-
ever prices could be obtained ; the public sale on
Friday went off with much spirit ; and, we believe,
the whole, except one or two lots, were disposed of;

it consisted of .57 butts 2 carroteels New Currants,
damaged 89s. a 925.; 1,159 boxes 390 half boxes
Valentia Raisins, 51s. a 535.; 789 baskets Denia
Raisins 355.; 45 bags Shell Almonds 555. On
Wednesday another sale took place, at which half
and quarter barrels new Prunes were sold at 555.
a 58s ; quarter • chests French Plums 775. a 905.;
and Imperial ditto in small boxes and cartoons from
51. 17s. to 10/. 3s. The demand for New Valentia
Raisins has been very extensive, and some very con-
siderable sales have been made; the low prices the
importers have been induced'ito accept, in comparison
with those of this time last year, having brought on
an earlier demand than usual, 54.5. is now demanded
and several transactions have taken place at that
price; for New Lexia Raisins also there is more in-
quiry; the demand generally for Fruit has much in-
creased.
COTTON.—There is no alteration in the Cotton
Market. The sales for the week ending yesterday,
inclusive, are too trivial for insertion.
INDIGO.—The Indigo Market continues to look
exceedingly firm ; very considerable parcels of the
late sale have changed hands at 3d. and 4d. per
lb. advance, and yesterday several holders of Indigo
of the January u
sales were entirely cleared
out oftheirollld
old stock;
ek; and one parcel only 350
chests were disposed of, and. several minor lots ge-
uerally at prices which were considered an advance
on the late sale.

HoPs.—The Mop Market has been heavy, parti,-
cularly fur the inferior ascriptions, whicti are :?5, a
