LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Friday.)
INDIGO.—The India House sale of 4,715 chests of In-
digo, which commenced on the 10th instant, ended yester-
day. Prices have maintained themselves throughout, upon
a par with the last April sale, with the exception of the
extra fine, which have gone from last sale's prices to 3d.
and 6d. lower, the orders for exportation which have
taken off the larger part of the sale, not having attached
themselves to those qualities. The proprietors have bought
in about 600 chests. The variations may he thus stat-
ed :—On the fine and extra fine, last sale's prices to 3d.
and 6d. lower; on the good and good middling, last sale's
prices; on the middling and consuming, last sale's prices
to 3d. and 6d. higher; on the Otule, full last sale's prices;
on the Madras, 6d. to Is. lower. The Guatemala Indigo
in yesterday's public sale went off about 3d. a 6d. per lb.
above last sale prices. This day's sale went off with brisk-
ness; 300 serons at the prices of yesterday.

COTTON. —The purchases for the week ending last night
inclusive, consists of 3,400 bags. The advance of id.
on the India House sale is freely given, the holders ask
generally id:

TEA.--:The Market is without alteration.
SALTPETRE.--There have been extensive sales of Salt-
petre; the purchases are chiefly at 235. 6d. ;• one parcel
has realized 245.

Rum, BRANDY, and HOU. ANDS.—The Government
contract for 100,000 gallons Rum has given a new impulse
to the previous firm Market for Leeward Island descrip-
tions; the sales are not extensive, as the holders ask higher
prices. There are extensive buyers of low Leewards at
2s. 2d. and scarcely any parcels offer under 2s. 3d. In
fine Rums for consumption there is no alteration. • Bran-
dies are unvaried. The accounts of the damage done by
the hail storms appear confined to the districts where the
finest quality of Cognac is supplied from ; it may affect
that description, but can have little on the general supply.
The Geneva here is again nearly all cleared off.
DyEwoons.---There are no sales of Dyewoods here,
notwithstanding the brisk demand, and the advancing prices
of the Liverpool Market.

HEMP, FLAX, and TALLow.—The Tallow, market re-
mains in a state of inactivity. The inquiries from the
country are extensive, but the prices having gradually de-
cline for a length of time the buyers do not purchase, in
the anticipation that the prices have not reached, their
lowest, and as the supplies expected are extensive, and the
season unfavourable for consumption, they appear in no
haste to buy, yet it must be taken into calculation, that
the present stocks are exceedingly low, and the price is also
at an unusually low figure. The quotation from St. Peters-
burgh is also again higher, 102 rubles, on the 2d instant.
—Exchange 10 5-16. Hemp and Flax are nominal
quotations. An immense contract settlement (11,000
casks) is reported between two eminent houses ; the market
is in a very depressed state, the seller being an importer.
Woos..—The demand for Wool continues steady, the
manufacturers being every where in full work ; there, is,
however, but little alteration in the prime. There have
been some arrivals of new German Wool, and its,appear-
ance indicates the present year's clip to be generally of very
good quality. English Wools remain at very depressed
prices, with little difference in the value of the finest and
coarsest fleeces. The stock on hand is asserted to be un-
usually great, but this fact is very doubtful. The English
Wool trade, like most others, has undergone a great change
since the peace. During the circulation of country bank-
paper, most of the country bankers were the purchasers
from the farmers in their districts, and re-sold, as opportu-
nity offered, to the wool-staplers and manufacturers it
credit; but this system being now at an end, the stocks
remain in the hands of the growers, instead of the country
bankers and wool-staplers.

COCHINEAL.—The public sale yesterday went off un-
commonly heavy, only a few lots fine sold at 14s. 7d., re-
mainder taken in ; a few
_lots of the lower quality sold
12s. 6d. and 12s. 9d.

TOBACCO.—The purchases of Tobacco this week are
confined to inconsiderable parcels taken by the trade, and a
few low Virginia 23d. a 3d.

AsnEs...-The recent advance in prices is maintained.
