THE MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current, of Tuesday.)
COFFEE.—The reduction of the prices of Coffee noticed
in our publication of 'Tuesday list, had the effect of attract-
ing.the attention' of the buyers ; they came forward and
purchased freely, and though no improvement took place
in the currency; yet there was more life in the market,
and a larger proportion of the :public sales was disposed
of. St. Domingo in large parcels taken in at 495. and
495. 6d,, on account of several rather extensive sellers for
the speculators, and they offered freely at 48s.' 6d., it
which price nearly 500 bags sold; they appeared to have
been'held for some time, and for persons resident in the
'country. There were three public sales to-day, Jamaica,
Demerara, and Berbice, the whole sold heavily at a further
reduction of is. a.2s. per cwt. on the low qualities. No
Foreign Coffee has been disposed of.. St. Domingo is
nominally 495. a 50s.
SUUAR.—The Sugar market continued in a very lan-
guid and depressed state last week; the great proportion
of the leading West India houses have withdrawn their
Sugars from the market ; a few holders who pressed sales
'submitted to a further reduction of 6d. to Is. per cwt.
The whole purchases of the week, several of which were
made privately at low prices, did not exceed 1,200 casks. •
The stock has increased 1,700 casks since last week, and
the comparative delivery with last year about 800 hhds.
less ; the consequence has been a. very heavy market all
day, the buyers only offering for parcels at a further re-
duction, which the holders will not accept. At the close
'of the market to-day, the sales of Muscovades, by private
contract, are estimated at 800 hhds., as the holders have
accepted the reduced prices offered. The Mauritius So-
lara to-day sold at full prices. The reduction of the prices
'of Refined goods last week appears to have induced the
buyers to come forward, the demand has since been gene-
ral both by the exporters and by the wholesale Grocers,
for home consumption ; the purchases are reported very
,considerable; low Lumps have advanced, and are held
with some firmness;* ,Molasses, which have fallen to
255., is also risen. To-day there is no new feature in the
market : the .61/Ter& are still purchasing, and the grocers
'show some inclination to get into stock—Molasses still
265. The public sale of Havainiali Sugars, about 1,400
chests, ivas nearly all taken in, good White, 41s. a 435. ;
ordinary to middling, 355. a 40s.

INDido.—The sale at the India House commenced on
Thursday last; it consists .of about 7,300 chests, of which
,nearly 1,800 chests were yesterday gone through; the first
two days the advance was Is. Gd. to 3s. per lb. on the last
India sale, or about. Is, on the previous market price; and
yesterday there was, again a farther rise of 4d. to Gd. per
lb., and great briskness in the demand. As there are so
many rumours circulated about the quantity bought for
export, we have with much care traced the purchases, and
we find nearly the whole is taken for shipping ; the quan-
tity bought for home consumption is at the highest esti-
mate, only an eighth part of the, quantity yet disposed of.
To-day there is more taken for home consumption; the
prices are rather lower.

Fitly IT.--Th e arrivals of new Fruit continue hurried for-
ward to public sale; the following were offered on Friday
last :-61 boxes bloom sold 8.55. a 875.; 478 boxes Mus-
catel Raisins, taken in at 5/. 10s.; 1,262 half-boxes ditto
6/. ss. a 61. 75.; 2,073 quarter ditto 71.; 20 quarter-brls.
Lexie, part damaged, 3.55. a 405.; 40 boxes° Jordan Al-
monds, 10/. 10s. Scarcely any of the Fruit was sold.
The extensive public sales to-day, New French Fruit,
Muscatels, &c., afford no criterion of prices; nearly the
ivlrole was taken in.

TOBACCO.—The declaration of the large sale in Holland
still continues to attract much interest. This market has
rather improved: The purchases are Kentucky leaf at
30., small parcels of Virg►nia 30. a 44., and for Ireland
sd. to 6d. The new crop has now been inspected, and
proves to be of a very good quality; but from every ac-
count the quantity is very deficient ; about 50 Mids. of
new strips sold yesterday at 7d. a 74d.. At the public
sale to-day 10 hhdi, German Leaf Tobacco ; there were
no offers.
Rust, BRANDY, and 110 trit)s.—The purchases of
Rum last week were chiefly of the finer qual►t►es of Ja-
maica for home consmnption, 33 over sold at 3s. Bd, of a
common quality, while line of only 31 over realised 3►s.lod.
The Market appeared enerally firm at the previous cur-

rency ; the purchases of Brandy and Geneva were inconsi-
derable parcels,, from. Which no criterion of the Market
prices could be formed.

ment.

The Cinnamon sold uncommonly high. Nutmegs and
Pepper at Market prices; the latter was good light. Mace
rather lower.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.- The Tallow market,
which had'advanced to 395, with rather a firm appearance,
became heavy yesterday at 395. a 38S. 9d: ; the report re-
specting the Fisheries is looked to with some interest, as
it has usually a great effect on the Tallow market, but no.
change is at present apparent. In Hemp or Flax there
was no material change. Tallow to-night 395. •
0n.0.-The market was thrown into some agitation
yesterday by contradictory statements respecting the suc-
cess of the northern fisheries; the rumours by the parties
for the advance were as ridiculous as the accounts of the
other side; and from a close investigation of the advice, it
may be stated that, up to the IBth September, 50 or a half
of the whole number of ships at the fishery averaged 50
tuns each; and as the statements are made by two vessels
arrived with good cargoes, the preponderance is in favour
of a medium fishing for those vessels which are enumerat-
ed ; but as one half are not reported at a late date, their
success may be stated very doubtfUl,' and in favour of the
party for the rise. hi the prices of Oils no decided effect
hus yet been produced, but there were • sellers at the for-
mer prices; for Greenland at 351.- to 34/.'; Southern Oil,
was at the same quotation.
Asuis.-Ashes wens' held yesterdey with firmness on
account of the finioutable report of the Liverpool market.
COTTON.--The Egyptian Cotton advanced fully k last
week; the other descriptiOns were without any variation.
-The purchases for the week ending last night inclusive,
consist of-in Bond, 590 Bowed, aid. 11 71c1.; 400 Surat,
sd. a std. ;•150 Bengal% qd. a 51d.; 60 Pernams, 10td.
50 Par,/ Bd. Play paid, 3,300 Egyptian, 70. a 71d.
IRISH PROVISIONS.--There is no alteration in Beef or
Pork. Macon is still dull.
