standing the quality of the whole parcel was very superior,
many lots at a reduction iu price; 3,705 bags more were
brought forward on Tuesday, when the culoury qualities,
were taken off at full prices, although without anisnatioa,

FOREIGN Sucans.—Forty-five cheats Brazil and 533
chests Havan.nah were offered by public sale on Tuesday,
the former, low to good strong white, sold readily at very
lull prices, viz. 3Ss. 6d. a 40s. 6d ; the latter, middling to
fine fine white, and good and fine yellow of capital strong
quality, were partly bought in at a reduction in price o
about Is. per cwt., the highest price for fine white being
485.: the quantity bought in has however since been dis-
posed of by private contract; several other parcels, both
of Brazils and Havannahs, have also been sold privately.
li : 1114114 ED Su"aa--The demand for the low desciip-
ons of goods, in the beginning of the week, was rather
languid, and purchases could have been made on advanta-
ge4ta, terms : Ye,terday however the buyers for the
Hknuurgst market came forward and purchased almost
try parcel OR show, giving an advance of Is. to Is. 6d.,
several parcels of low Lumps being sold at 83s. to 83s. 6d.
--there is now scarcely any to be found in the market : of
the middling and good qualities there is a fair supply, and
these sorts rnly be purchased readily without alteration in
Prices : the fine Grocery goods continue scarce, and go off
at very full prices.

CoiFxa.—A parcel of good to fine ordinary Jamaica,
of clean quality, suitable to the home trade, was bought by
the Grocers yesterday by public sale, at very full prices,
viz. 489. 6d. a 545. 6d.. to-day another public sale was
brought forward, consisting of ordinary to fine ordinary
J Jamaica, and fine ordinary Demerara, and the whole
quantity sold briskly, at very steady prices ; for Foreign
the demand has very considerably increased, and rather
higher prices are given : 320 bags Brazil to-day, by pub-
lic sale, sold with much animation, good ordinary pale
38s. tid., and coloury 41s. a 41s. 6d., being an advance
of full 19. to Is. 6d. per cwt.

Facer.--Two cargoes of new Denia Raisins, in baskets,
have arrived this week ; one of which, of very fine quality,
has been divided among the trade a 395. Of Currants
also a cargo has arrived, which is now being landed; other
descriptions as before.
Rem........ The demand for strong Rum is still active. Ja-
maica may be quoted from 35. 2d. to 3s. 11d. and Lee-
ward Island from 2s. 2d. to 2s. 111. per gallon in bond.
The Snot Market maintains much firinnesa, but the
price, are not higher than in the early part of the week.
SALTP2TRS.—There is less doing in this article than on
this day week, and the price is again heavy, the effect of
the Peaceable character of the Eastern news. Sales are
reported as low as 245. 6d. to 255. The deliveries are not
as last week. The demand for shipment is lan-
guid, and the purchases made are principally for home
consumption.
the raw and manufacturing departments
remain very dull, the importations of French manufactured
goods lately have been
very ver extensive, and have much
checked the activity which
was beginning to be felt in our
own manufacture. The accounts from Glasgow, where
the silk weaves for a long time have have been fully em-
ployed, are not so satisfactory. The raw material had been
weld on lower terms than given at the last Company's sale'
Here raw Silks have not as yet given way, but from the
appearance of the market, a decline in price's' is fully calcu-
lated upon.
