THE MARKETS.

(From the Nary London Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades last week
was languid, the average purchases did not exceed
400 casks each day ; there was no general alteration
in the prices, but some parcels of low soft Musco-
vades went off about 6d. to ls. reduction. The de-
liveries from the warehouses last week exceeded the
cocresponding one of last year nearly 300 casks, the
stock is now only 700 casks less than in 1826. The
wholesale grocers are reported out of stock, as the
consumption of Sugar continues extensive : they
came forward at an early hour to purchase, but they
bought only small parcels till a late hour, when the
sales were estimated at 700 Mills. Last week the
Refined Market was very heavy, only the low goods
for shipping went off; all the other descriptions
were heavy, but no lower prices could be stated,
owing to the stocks being much reduced. Molasses
were without variation. There was not the slightest
alteration in the Refilled Market this forenoon ;
goods continue scarce, particularly the low qualities,
which are still inquired after. In fine goods and
Molasses there is no variation. The Mauritius Sugar
sale last week, about 1,600 bags, went off heavily,
generally about Is. lower, on account of the heavy
Sugar market, and two public sales being declared
for this week.

COFFEE—The public sales last week went off heavily
at a general reduction of le. a 2s. per cwt. The
fine Coffee suitable for home consumption went off
3s. a oil. lower, on account of a more plentiful sup-
ply of these descriptions ; 968 bags ordinary St.
Domingo sold 445. a 455. 6d.; about 1,000 bags
Brazil sold, the good ordinary 465. and 178. The
public sale this forenoon attracted much attention.
It consisted of 1,640 bags Bruzil, and the whole sold
more freely ; the prices from 6d. to IS. per cwt.

lower; the pale sold 445. 6d., the eoloury 43e. 6
465. 6d., and line ordinary, with much colour, 475'
and 475. 6d. The reduction of the prices of Coffee
appears to increase the demand.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—There was some bustle in
the Provision Market early in last week, and the
stock of India Beef being small, higher prices were
asked. The inquiries after Pork were also consider-
able, but the demand has since rather given way;
the prices are fully supported, and the market has
still the appearance of firmness.—Bacon continue;
scarce. Irish Butters are in short supply, and coo'
tinue to maintain high rates; the Dutch has giver'
way considerably, on account of the recent arrivals
and the anticipated considerable supplies.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The deliveries
of Ruin for exportation and for home consumption
continue rather extensive; a considerable propor'
tion is, however, for the supply of the Government
contract : Leeward Island Rum was heavy last
week ; Jamaica Rum maintains the late currency'
on account of the reduced stock of fine Rums at
Market ; the inferior qualities are very heavy!
Brandies are without alteration ; where parcel'
lately have been taken for export the prices are e
shade lower.—Geneva is without variation.

HEMP, FLAX,
,AND TALLOW.—In Tallow there i 5
little variation. The weekly deliveries for home
consumption continue extensive; last week nearly
1,400 casks, being nearly double the corresponding
week of last year, yet the Market continues heavy'
About 100 tons of St. Petersburgh 12-head FlO
sold last week at 38/. a 38/. 10s. The reports that
the stocks are ♦ery low in the manufacturing die
tricts continue, and we have no doubt of their trap.
Hemp is rather higher.
FRUIT.—It is reported in the Market that 800
butts of the Currants recently arrived have been sold
at about 85s.

OILS.--The Oil market is heavy, but no further
reduction in the price can be stated.
TORACCO.—The purchases of Tobacco for the
week ending yesterday, are about 200 hhds.; Kell'
tucky for export, at 3id. a lid. and about 300 hlld°'
fine Kentucky, lying at Liverpool, at 31d. with
London allowances; the latter were taken by the
extensive London speculators. There ware no sale;
reported to-day. The trade have been paying (WO
extensively in the anticipation of an extra import
duty of Is. per lb. being about to b© imposed. Se
cannot trace the rumour to any authority.
COTTON.—The India House sale went off much
about the previous currency, and about id. to id.
under the last India sale, and the whole quanta
taken was by the home-customers ; the speculator.
did not buy, and it was quite evident a further re'
duction must have been submitted to had the COy
tons been forced off. At a late hour to-day the
quantity of Cotton taken since the India sale, et
sale prices, may be estimated at 1,600 bags, about
250 Bengal, the remainder Surat. There are 0°
other sales worth noticing.
TEAs—Teas continue in good demand ; mad
parcels of Congo have been sold at id. per lb. 0(1'
vance.
SALTPETRE-13y public sale this forenoon 1,20
bags Saltpetre 4 to .5i refraction all sold at 225.°
a 225. 6d., which is a reduction of Is. per cwt.
Spices—East India Spices are without alteratioo,
At a late hour several considerable- purchases 0'
Mace, 2nds, at 3s. 9d. a 4s. 2d. have transpiredi
also some Nutmegs for export at Ss. 44. By public
sale this forenoon, 21 casks Nutmegs from Singe'
pore, good quality, 3s. 10d. a 45., inferior 3s. 6(14
nearly the whole takeni.).
INDIGO—The Indigo Market is rather heavy, ad
the buyers anticipate, as the prompt day approach4e
they will be enabled -o purchase at lower rates ; the
holders continue firm, and they expect some revive'
in the trade, on account of the high duties on Wool'
len Goods being rejected by the Senate of the
United States; the Indigo on show for the nest
India House sale is about 1,700 chests, chiefly 471,
