THE MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Tuesdty.)
SUGAII.—The Market for Muscovadee was shut all the last
week. The deliveries from the warehouse the preceding week—
For home consumption, 2,560 hhds, 256 tierces and barrels ;
for exportation, 332 hhds, 28 tierces and barrels; stock re-
maining in oaks, 44,521 hhds, 3,541 tierces and barrels. The
buyers of Muscovades did not come to business till a late hour to-.
day, the request then increased considerably, and we estimate
the sales at 1,600 casks; the prices are a shade higher. The de-
liveries from the warehouse continue extensive, showing a great
increase in the consumption during the last two weeks ; 2,500
casks more than the corresponding period of last year were de-
livered from the West India warehouses. The refined market was
in a very depressed state all last week, and as the export demand
had ceased, all low goods were offered at a small reduction. Fine
goods and Molasses were unvaried. There appears to be a ma-
terial improvement in the demand for refined goods this morning,
both for home consumption and for export, particularly for the
latter ; the shippers have selected Lumps and crushed Sugars, of
which considerable parcels are reported sold, the prices are little
varied. Molasses are 6d. lower. In Foreign or East India
Sugars no sales were reported. By public sale this forenoon,
1,231 bags White Siam went off at very full prices, good 365.,
ordinary 335. a 355.
COFFEE—There were no transactions in Coffee last week of any
extent. The deliveries from the West India Warehouses for the
preceding week, were—for borne consumption 161 hhds. and trs.,
61 bags and brls. ; for exportation 58 hhds. and trs., 118 hags
and brls. ; stock 10,920 hhds. and trs., 78,470 bags and brie.
There were no public sales to-day, but there is evidently an in-
crease in the request for Coffee, about 300 bags St. Domingo
were sold by private contract about 51s. ; in the other descrip-
tions we believe no sales have been effected.
&Ices—There were no Sales of Spices last week to any ex-
tent ; the prices remained nearly nominal. Deliveries from
the West India Warehouses the preceding week : Pimento for
home consumption 63 barrels, ditto for exportation 64 barrels ;
Ginger for home consumption 65 casks Q barrels, ditto far export-
ation 6 casks.

Tna..—Twankay Teas bear a small premium on the sale prices.
Boheas continue in good request ; the quantity of. Tea cleared
from the warehouses lately is uncommonly large.

Rum, Basmyr, and HOLLANDS—The Rum Market was very
firm last week; the only sales, inconsiderable parcels of proofs.
The delivei ies from the West India Warehouses the preceding
week, were—for home consumption 437 puns. 24 hhds., for ex-
portation 218 puns. 33 hhds., stock 17,246 puns. 1,033 hhds.,
Brandies of 1925 have been told in small parcels at the highest
price inserted.—,Geneva is at nominal quotations.
Tonacco—The demand for the new Tobacco for the London
trade has been considerable; about 200 or 300 hogsheads have
been taken, and about 50 for the country trade, chiefly strips
at sid. a 6th

RISH PROVLSIONS.—Pork and Beef are held for higher prices,

_
the latter particularly ; but there •is little progress made in the
sales of the new arrivals. Bacon is dull. 'The request for
Butter appears increasing. The advance lately is, India Beef
from 71. to '7l. '7s., Mess from 51. ss. ; Pork has nearly fallen to
the former price. The trade believe that the Imports of Foreign
Provisions will be extensive, and. that they will remain in bond
ready for shipment.
_

INorco.—The approaching Sale at the India House prevents
all business ; the qaantity is now stated about 7,500 chests, which
is considerably more than what had been generally anticipated.
COTTON. —The Market is firm with n prospect of some im-
provement, on account of the very favourable reports from Liver-
pool and from Manchester. The sales here for the week ending
last night inclusive, are about 1,000 bags ; prices unvaried.
Ous.—The Oil Market, which had lately been heavy, has
again aSsunied a very firm appearance; the demand has increased
considerably.
Fat/Ir.—There was little doing in Fruit last week; some new
Figs reported sold at 655., and the holders were so confident of
higher prices, that a great proportion has been withdrawn from
sale; 70s. was asked for large and small, and 755. for small only.
New Currants are very scarce.
Haste, FLAX, Axu TA LIONV. —The Tallow Market last week
was subject to some fluctuation, on account of a considerable quan-
tity having been thrown upon the Market by itcontract for delivery
not being taken ; it was cold about 385., since which the Mar-
ket has gradually improved, and with a greater degree of firmness.
Tallow for delivery i❑ February and March 6d. higher. Hemp
is rather heavy ; Flax without alteration ; Hemp for shipment,
on or before the 31st of August, 401. The accounts from Peters-
-1 burgh are of the 18th ult. ; the weather generally mild, and the
last vessel of the season loaded and about to sail. Exchange 94
18-16ths.—Stock of Tallow in London 31st Dec. 1825, 62,000
1 casks ; Slat Dec. 1826, 47,600 casks.

a more ready sale ; there is little alteration in the prices.
