LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Tuesday.)
SUGAR.—The request for Muscovades was not
so general and extensive last week as during the
preceding weeks, yet the actual purchases reached
2,500 hhds. and trs. There was a heaviness about
the soft and low brown descriptions, and in some
instances, prices a shade lower were submitted to.
All sugars 58s. and upwards fully supported the
previous currency ; they are still scarce. The stock
is now 3,226 hhds. and tn.. more than in 1828; the
deliveries from the warehouses are increasing—they
were 3,170 hhds. and trs. last week, being 529 more
than the corresponding week of 1828. The market
had a languid appearance this forenoon ; the pur-
chases this day are estimated at 800 Mids. and trs.,
including the Barbadoes public sale.—ln the Refined
Market there were no supplies of goods of any ex-
tent. The grocers purchased on a limited scale,
but apparently quite sufficient to take off all the
goods as they are brought to market. The pur-
chases of • Lumps were limited, but they were so
scarce that a further advance of Is. per cwt. in the
prices must be stated.—Molasses were 6d. higher.
—There is no alteration in the Refined Market this
afternoon ; there is rather more demand for fine
goods for home consumption.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—The holders do not press
sales; they anticipate an early arid extensive spring
demand. There were no purchases of Foreign
Sugars last week.
EAST INDIA SUGARS —The only transactions last
week were limited parcels of the late India sale
Sugars at a premium of Is.

WEST INDIA MOLASSES.--Several sales of Mo.
lasses are reported, ordinary at 225. 6d., good at
235.; they consist chiefly of Demerara Molasses.
COFFEE.—The Coffee Market continued languid
and uninteresting till Friday, when 1,338 bags
Cheribon and 140 bags Brazil were brought forward
at public sale; nearly the whole scent off with brisk-
ness at prices about Is. higher than what had been
obtained early in the week, good ord. pale Cheribon
40s. 6d. a 41s. 6d. good ord. Brazil 38s. 6d. a 395.
The few parcels of British Plantation Coffee still
last week went off at very full prices, Jamaica fine
ord. 525. a 545. good ord. coloury, but very rank,
43.. a 445. The only public sale this forenoon con-
sisted of 80 packs Jamaica Coffee; the qualities
were triage to mid. good ord. 41s. a 435., fine fine
ord. 51s. a 565.; mid. 605.; the whole sold very
high.-120 bags St. Domingo 40s. taken in.

Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDi.—The Rum
Market continues heavy ; the few sales reported are
small parcels for shipping at prices equal to 2s. 3d.
a 2s. 4d. for proofs ; the only other sale is a parcel
of 5 over, at about 2s.—Brandy is neglected, but
the prices are not lower; small lots of the second
marks of new have been sold off the quay at 2s. 6d.
a 2s. 7d.—Geneva is without inquiry.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—..The demand for
Tallow early in last week rather improved, and the
prices were firm, but the Market is again rather
heavy.—ln Flax and Hemp there is little variation.
The letters from St. Putersburgh, dated 30th ofh-
nuarv, state large sales of Tallow. Exchange a
shade under I Id.

F►turr.—The new arrivals of Currants and red
Smyrna Raisins appear to have an unfavourable ef-
fect upon the Market notwithstanding the rorluction
in the prices ; the former has in one instance been
sold at 865., the sales of the latter are limited at
about 425. A large sale of Valentia Raisins is re-
ported; the other descriptions are heavy.
Corros.--The unfavourable reports from Liver-
pool and the manufacturing districts, occasioned a
heavy market for Cotton last week. -The purchases
up to last n►ght ►mtclusive are trivial, they consist of
860 Surat at 3id. tt 4id; .50 Bowed at Gid.; 20
Madras at 2d.

TOBACCO.—There are few sales to report on 4e-
count of the uncertainty as to the HOW duty. The
interviews between Ministers and the Tobacco Trade
have elicited no information on the subject of the
new duty.
SALTPETRE.—The prices have given way a a
Is. since the last India House sale.
latstt PRovistoNs.—ln Irish Provisions there
are no alterations worth reporting. The arrivals of
Butters last week are 8,b96 firkins Irish, and 10
casks Foreign. The arrivals of Bacon 3,371 bales.
