only, consisting of good and fine scale Barbadoes; the
prices of these descriptions are, however, well supported ;
there is still. no dernandlor the brown qualities; 700 bags
good white Bengal have been sold at 745. 6d. per cwt.
In Foreign. Sugar and West -India Molasses nothing has
been done worthy of notice. Our Coffee Market remains
without alteration in prices, but the business done is very
limited, and continues to be confined to the home trade.-
Cocoa, Ginger, and Pimento, remain neglected.-In Rum
little doing; prices remain-firm.
The demand for Cotton •has continued steady through;
_out the whole of the week, and in the business done by
private contract our last quotations have been realized: in
all
rdescriptions. Yesterday there were brought forward
by auction 2,90046 gs Sea Island and 'stained ; of the
former there were,sold 1,490 bags at 12id. to 131-d. 'for
ordinary to fair ;- 14d. to 15Ad. for good fair and good ;
16d. to 20d. for fine and choice marks ; 290 stained at
6d. to 9d. per lb. for middling to -good ; the whole went
off, rather heavily at a decline from the previous prices of
to Id. per lb. on the good -and fine qualities of Sea
island, but the lower descriptions Maintained their'fornier
rates. The sales by private contract consist of
Bowed 54d. to 74d., chiefly at 6id. -to 6)td. for middling
to good fair:; 1,.920 Orleani at 6d. to 77141., -AWN at
644. told. for middling fair to good; 3,170 Arabaina'
and Mobile at sd. to 41. (15 at 7d.); 30 Sea Island at
13i-d. to 14241. ;30 Stained ditto -at 81:d. ; -1,020 Per-

-to 48d. ; 50 Bengal at VA.-making a total, including
those sold by auction, of 15,930 bags. The arrivals are
12,560 bags.
The demand for Tobacco has been steady, without any
alteration in prices. For Rice there has not been much
inquiry, and the sales made have been confined to small
parcels of Carolina. Since last week * further advanct; of
3d. to 4d. per 701bs. has taken place in Wheat, and Id.
to 2d. per 45Ebs in Oats, previous to which some consider- i
able speculative purchases were 'made ; this Advance has in
some degree checked the demand, as the dealers since have
bought sparingly. A further advance of 6d. per 701bs.
has also taken place in bonded -Wheat, some parcels of
Dantzic having changed bands at 6s. 6d. per 701b5.-..
AmeriCan sweet Flour for export is scarce, and finds buyers
