LONDON MARKETS.

(Prom the London New Price Current of Tuesday.)
SUGAR.—As the new regulation respecting the
introduction of foreign Sugars for refining was not
properly understood last week, and as the Corn Bill,
which would so much benefit eommerce, was thrown
out, there was a general gloom in the Colonial
Markets ; the purchases of Muscovadoes were very
limited, but no reduction in the prices could be
stated. The comparative stock of Sugar changed
last week, from an excess over last year of 5,000
casks to 1,900; the deliveries, it will be observed,
are much more considerable. The Sugar Market
opened with more firmness this morning, but the
demand was checked by extensive public sales of
Mauritius ; the prices are without any alteration ;
the sales to-day are estimated at 1,100 hl►ds. The
general languid state of trade last week occasioned a
heavy sale of Refined goods, and the prices were
rather lower ;.purchases of Lumps were reported at
80s. 6d. The grocers purchased, for the home trade,
fine goods to some extent, but in the prices no alte-
ration could be stated. There is more demand for
shipping goods this morning, but the buyers will only
purchase at low prices; there is much demand for
Lumps at 80s. In fine goods and Molasses there is
no alteration.
There were some inquiries afte► foreign Sugari
last week ; the sales were, strong white Havannah
455., fine strong Yellow 355. to 365., fine yellow
Brazil 31s. The purchases of foreign Aluscovadoes
were limited to parcels of grey, at about 32s.—the
same rate nearly as latterly for parcels taken for re-
fining in London.
The East-India Sugars are clearing at the duty of
295. per cwt., under the late Custom-house regulation.
By public sale this forenoon 8,010 bags Mauritius
Sugars sold freely at full market prices ; dry brown
565., yellow 58s. a 605., good white 665.
COFFEE.—St. Domingo Coffee last week was
heavy, but there was no alteration in the prices ; fair
quality 435. 6d., fine ord. coloury 445. and 445. Gd.; the
coloury Brazil Coffee was much inquired after, some
fine ord. realised 50s/and a parcel at public saleat 48s.
The British Plantation Coffee sold heavily and rather
lower, particularly the ord. and unclean descriptions;
good and fine ord. clean is still scarce and rates high,
the ord. mid. from 50s. a 61s. sold very low. By
public sale this forenoon 868 bags foreign; 159
casks, 187 bags British Plantation Coffee; good
quality St. Domingo 425. 6d. and 435.; ord. Brazil
40s. Gd., good ord. coloury 435.; St. Domingo is
to-day Is. lower; Brazil at a reduction of Is, a 2s.
British Plantation descriptions a:e unvaried.
TEA.—The Tea sale closed on Friday. Since the
sale there has been a great demand for Twankay
Teas and the prices are a shade higher ; they went
,off at the India House uncommonly low.

OILS.—The Oil Market is heavy-and rather lower,
Spermaceti about 69/.
Fuurr.—Currants and Valentia Raisins are held
for rather higher prices. In other descriptions of
fruit there is no alteration.
RlCE.—There is no alteration in the demand or
in the prices of Rice.
INDIGO.--The Indigo of the India House sale is
now on show, and appears to be of very good quality,
the first part good and fine ; it is expected the sale
will be about 4,500 chests. There are no purchases
of Indigo since our last report, but the market is
firm, and the accounts from France more favourable.
The letters from Bordeaux state the parcels of In-
digo belonging to small holders which were forced
on the market for immediate sale depressed the
trade, but 100 chests have since sold rather higher.
The quantity sent direct from Calcutta to France
is 4,046 chests.

110BACCO.—II is stated some shipments of To-
bacco have taken place both at Liverpool and at thin
port by the speculators. The purchases since our
last,are Virginias, lid. a 31d.
SILKS.—The India House sale which commenced

yesterday, is selling at the rates of the last sale,
which may be stated Is. to Is. Gd. per lb. higher
than the previous market prices, by private contract
or at an advance of 10 to 12id. per cent. Till the
sale closes, which is expected on Friday, no minute
quotation of Italian Silks can be given ; they are un-
doubtedly held for higher prices.
CoTToN.—The demand for Cotton continues
considerable; but the buyers only purchase where
parcels are offered at low prices. The following are
the particulars of the sales up to last night inclu-
sive :-640 Surat 40. a 54d. ; 70 Bengal 41d. a
; 170 Bowed 6id. ; 80 Pernambuco 9d.—
Duty paid, 750 Egyptian 7d. a 7-td.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The late letters from
St. Petersburgh state the Exchange at 101 ; about
1,500 casks Tallow had sold at about 100 rubles ;
The Tallow Market here is lower. Hemp and Flax
are nominal.—For delivery—Tallow, delivery last
three months 375. 3d. to 375. Gd. per cwt. ; Ship-
ment on or before 31st August 375. to 375. 3d. do. ;
free on board 375. 10d. per ton. Hemp, Shipment
on or before 31st August 365. 10d. do.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Jamaica Rums
suitable for home consumption continue in great re-
quest, the parcels arrived sell freely at 4s. 3d. and
4s. 4d., fine quality 32 and 34 over; and parcels to
arrive are contracted for at the same price, favourite
marks the buyers taking all chances as to quality;
the inferior strengths continue neglected. The low
Leeward Island Rums continue in some demand for
export, but the request is not so general as formerly ;
low Leewards 2s. a 2s. ld. In Brandy or Geneva
there is no alteration.
Paovrstosts;—Nearly every cask of Mess Beef
has been bought up of all qualities and the Navy :
the supply of Beef being unusually scarce, and a
further advance on prices looked for. Very large
'purchases of prime Mess Pork can be made at 31.35.,
and some of the Consignees will not sell under 31.55.
From the extreme low price of Pork, it has become
an article for speculation. The Hambro' Beef is
gradually selling at Si. 10s., and about SO casks of
the American Provisions at about 31. 10s. per barrel
Beef and Pork.
