THE MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current, of Friday.)
SuaAu.--The holders of Museovades submitted to a
tirther reduction of price on Tuesday last of 6d. to le.

. .
per cwt. , The decline had a favourable effect on the
Market, the purchases were considerable. The limited
demand for Muscovades during the week' appears to-day
to be suspended on account of the large. quantity of St.
Lucia Sugars declared for public sale this forenoon ; it
consisted of 365 hhds. 120 tees. and '77, brls. of a fair
quality St. Lucia, the whole sold; the inferior qualities
rather lower, the others without alteration; damp at 50s.
a 515.; the dry at our lowest quotation, which is now the
settled price for free browns • some fine quality sold so
high as 655. The average daily purchases this week, in-
cluding the public sale, arc about 700 Idyls. The redus-
tion of the prices of 'Refined goods attracted the attention
of the buyers ' • the grocers and exporters have , purchased
largely, anti the small accumulatiou of stock has been again
cleared off ; no Lumps or Molasses are offered under our
quotations. There is little alteration in the Refined Mar-
ket to-day ; the wholesale grocers appear to purchase on a
limited scale, but only at low prices; the • shippers make
inquiries, but therels no life in the trade. Molasses are
in more demand. In Foreign Sugars there is no alteration.
COFFEE.-The Public sales this' week have gone off
heavily; on Tuesday a slight decline was perceptible,
since which the Market has been languid, but without any
further reduction in the currency ; St. Domingo fine ord.
taken in at 50s. Gd., and for parcels of much colour 515.;
for the former we believe .50s. was offered and refused.
Previous to the public sales to-day there appeared an evi-
dent improvement in the demand for Coffee by private
contract; large parcels of Brazil were purchased at 495.

maica, sold heavily at full prices. At a late hour the re-
quest for Coffee was rather 'extensive; above 600 bags,
were sold by private contract chiefly; Brazil 48s. a 508.
Otis.--The ships which have arrived froM the Green-
land Fisheries appear to' be pretty. well fished, and the re-
ports of the others arc more favourable ; the consequence
is, that Oils are exceedingly heavy. Greenland for arrival,
offered freely at 341., and no buyers. Spermaceti and
Seed Oils are little varied.
COTTON.-The Cotton Market is without alteration.
The purchases for the week ending last night inclusive,

INDIOO.-T-here was a further advance on Monday at
the India House of 4d. a 6d. per lb.; since which the
market has receded in the same proportion. At the doss
of this day's sale, the prices of Indigo were as nearly as
possible, at the currency of this day week, the market
having receded nearly in proportion to the advance obtain-
ed on Monday. About a half of the sale is disposed of.
RUM, 13RANDV, AND HOLLANDS.-The principal holders
of Ruin continue firm, and refuse to sell; some parcels of
four over offer at 2s. 4d. which makes the market for Lee-
wards rather heavy and a shade lower, but there has been
but little or no business reported; the fine ,Jamaica Rum,
fully supports the laic prices, and continues in request, i i
