LONDON MARKETS.

(Prom th• New London Price Current of yesterday.)
SuciAtt.—The Sugar Market last week remained in a
very languid and depressed state, and the few holders who
were determined to press sales submitted to a considerable
*eduction in the prices : Qs. a Ss. lower than the highest
state of the Market ten days ago, and even at this decline
only 1000 casks were disposed of, as the speculators would
not purchase, and the Refiners and Grocers bought on the
most limited scale.

The Sugar Market was exceedingly dull this morning,
on account of the great change in the stock and the deli-
veries ; the stock is now only 3,700 casks less than last
year at the same period. The deliveries last week were
about 1,400 casks less than the corresponding one of last
year, showing that the consumption is affected by the recent
advance in prices.
We stated two weeks ago that about this time the stock
of this year would nearly approach to the quantity on hand
in 1626, and that the real difference of crop would not be
ascertained till the arrival of the Ist of August ships. The
stock is however materially affected by the great deficiency
of the deliveries, compared with last season. At the con-
clusion of this day the sales were too inconsiderable to con-
stitute a market.

Last week the Refined Market was very heavy and the
prices gave way; lei* Lumps offered at 835., good small
Lumps at 855., fine goods in proportion.—Molasses fell
to 265.

The Refined Market this afternoon was par'iculsrly
heavy, some low Lumps sold under 83s.
At a public sale of Mauritius Sugar last week the prices
fell 2s. 6d. a 3s. ; 867 bags were disposed of, yellow good
quality 635. 6d. and 645., brown and low yellow 60e. a
61e. 6d. ; several parcels were disposed of after the sale at
an advance of Is. a Is. 6d. The Market since has been
heavy.
In Foreign Sugars a decline of Is. a ls. 6d. has taken
place : fair to good yellow Havannah sold at 38s. Sales
of white Brazil, 445. a 455., according to quality.
COMM.-There was a languid Coffee Marlcet last
week, but the prices were not lower, as the sellers would
not submit to any reduction; they took in the greater pro-
portion of the public sales. Good ord. St. Domingo was
taken in at 455. ord.. Brazil at 435. and there were no offers
within Is. of these prices.
There were four public sales of Coffee this forenoon,
313 casks and 463 bags ; the latter ord. St. Domingo sold
at 425. 6d. good ord. 445. 6d. ord. Ceylon, 425. 6d. ; the
inferior descriptions of British Plantation steady, the finer
again rather• higher, good mid. 84s. a 92.. The market
is rather mere firm.

Rom, BRANDY AND HoLLaNns.—The purchases of
small parcels of Leeward Island Rum for shipping were
very considerable last week ; all the under-proofs which
were pressing on the market for sale were taken off about
2s. 2d. and 2s. 2id. . Very few parcels now offer under
2s. 3d. and for 5 over 2s. 4d. has been paid ; a few par-
cel; of fine Jamaica sold 4s. 2d: a 4s. 4d, but the market
is still rather heavy for the finer qualities. The lower
strengths of Jamaica continue neglected, and are offered at
lower prices without facilitating sales.—Brandy is held
with rather more firmness.—Pale Geneva which sold at
2s. Bd. is again offered a shade lower on account of the
arrivals.

Paovistorts.—The holders of Provisions were in full
expectation of an extensive demand for the Russian fleet
at Portsmouth, but we understand, after receiving the quo-
tations from London, application was made and the supplies
granted frogs his Majesty's stores ; the market is without
variation. The sales since our last are small parcels of 20
and 30 casks, chiefly Pork for shipping.—Bacon continues
in some request, but there is not the former briskness in
the demand.—Butters are heavy on account of the exten-
sive arrivals ; of Irish the supply last week was only about
1500 casks, of Foreign 16,000 casks ; the latter is, in
consequence, particularly depressed.
INDIGO.—.There is rather more business in Indigo ; the
purchases since this day week are about 300 chests, of
which 100 chests are fine Oude, at the India House prices;
the remainder Bengal, at a premium of 4d. a 6d. on India
sale prices.
Sm.—There is a considerable improvement in the de-
mand for silks, but the price is unvaried.
Ons.—ln common Oils there is little variation; there
have been considerable purchases of Spermaceti and Rape
Oils at the advanced quotations.
SALTPETRE.—The prices of Saltpetre fell last week to
225. 6d., at which rate very considerable buyers appeared ;
parcels were reported at 235., several at 235. 6d. are since
stated.

COTTON.—The Cotton Market is little varied ; the sale
for the week entliug lestr,tight ere 1200 base; s 1 vricei
are without any variation.

TEA.-TheMarket continues stationary.
Hors.—The few nights we have had of rather cola
weather is reported to have checked the burr, and the plant
is reported to have rather a yellow appearance ; the esti-
mated duty from 120,900/. has dropped to 95,000/. and
100,0001. Sonse small purchases of Hops are reported at
755. to 855.; the quotation is given 655. a 90s.
FRUIT.—The fruit season is nearly over, and the
quantity left in the market is so inconsiderable, that the
holders obtain an advance when there appears any demand.
Currants have sold at 908. Valentia Raisins, 551.:. Ma-
laga, 458.

Tobacco.—The Tobacco Market continues heavy ; some
parcels of low Virginia have been taken for export 2p. a
HEMP, FLAX, AND TaLLow.—The Tallow Market was
heavy last week on account of the arrivals and the antici-
pated large supplies when the wind changes to the east-
ward; the purchases were chiefly about 365. The deli-
veries for consumption were again extensive last week,
about 2,700 casks, beinig about 500 More than the cor-
responding one of last year. In Hemp or Flax there is
little alteration.

AsHEs.—To-day. 340 barrels. Canada Pearls 295. a
295. 6d.; Pots 265. a 275.
