LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Tuesday).
Russ, BRANDY and HOLLANDS.—The sales of
Rum last week were inconsiderable, being confined
to 200 puns. Demerara, 5 and 6 over, at 2s. 6d.
and 28 over at 3s. 9d.—The sales of Brandy are still"
very limited; the prices in France continue high.—
In Geneva there is no alteration. The deliveries last
week are ,848 casks Rum, aboet a half for export.
The Market is firm this afternoon, bet there are no
sales. It will be recollected that in the early part
of last year our deliveries for Rum, for rectification
alone, amounted to upwards 5,000 puns., and the
consequence of this extra demand was a reduction
of our stock to a lower state than it had been since
the peace. The importations up to the sth Sept.
last year, were 18,448 puns., and this year they
amount to '24,920 puns., making an increase in the
supply, as compared with that of last year, up to
the same period, of nearly 6,500 puns., and yet, not-
withstanding the extra deliveries of last year and
the increased supply of this, so extensive has been
the demand of this year that our stock is actually
under what it was at this time last year.

IRISH PROVISIONS.—There are several arrivals of
Irish Beef, but no sales are yet effected. Pork is
without alteration. Bacon continues in good de-
mand, and the prices would be higher except for
the considerable stock. The arrivals of butter last
week were 19,500 firkins Irish, and 6,100 Foreign;
the prices are in consequence rather lower.

and merchants are busily employed in inspecting the
India House sale.
