THE MARKETS.

(From the New London Price Current of Friday.)
SUGAR.--The demand for Muscovades continued
very limited till towards the dose of the Market
yesterday, when the buyers came fOrward and pur-
chased extensively (about 800 hhds.); we think the
good and fine new Sugars sold at prices a shade
higher. The demand for Muscovades was in some
measure checked by the public sale of St. Lucia
this forenoon, and the large sales of Mauritius de-
clared for next week ; at the close of. the Market the
purchases of Muscovades, including the public sale,
were reported at 1,000 hhds. The public sales con-
sisted of 192 hhds. 34 trs. 56 brls., St. Lucia, and
45 hhds. Jamaica. The whole sold at full, prices,
Dabs 525., Dry Brown 545. a 565. The Refined
Market early m the week was ,languid, and
though few goods suitable for export offered,
yet prices a shade lower were submitted to; the
reduction appeared to facilitate sales. There has since
been more business doing for shipping; the purchases
for the home consumption continue limited. Mo-
lasses are little varied. There is no alteration in the
Refined Market this afternoon, a considerable quan-
tity of low goods appear to be taken off the Market
quietly. The grocers have also purchased on a li-
mited scale, and for crushed some offers have been
made for large parcels, but they have not been ac-
cepted, being rather under the Market currency.
Molasses are heavy. In Foreign Sugars no pur-
chases are reported. By public sale this forenoon
450 mats Manilla Sugar sold at full prices, fine
yellow 31s. 6d. a 325. Molasses, West India.—
By public sale to-day 52 puns good St. Lucia Mo-
lasses sold at 255.

Since the India House Sale one or two

rally the Market is rather heavy at sale prices. By
Public sale to-day 38 serons Guatimala Indigo went
off 3d. to 6d. per lb.,higher, than the last sale.
COTTON.—The accounts from Liverpool andfrom
the manufacturing districts are rather favourable for
Cottons—the consumption is extensive, but the
prices continue low; the sales in London for the
week ending last night inclusive consist of 1,000
bags, at rather better prices. There appears some
revival het'e ; the buyers anticipated lower prices,
on account of the prompt day, and they are disap-
pointed.
PROVISIONS.—The transactions in Provisions are
very limited—no alteration in the prices can be
stated. Bacon is in good demand. The quotations
of Irish Butters are nominal.

.....
Oils.—The Oil market is heavy; at a public
sale on Wednesday some pale Southern Oil went at
281. 10s. a 29/. To-day 140 tuns ditto 291. 10s. a

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The demand for
Tallow has been limited and the prices are rather
lower this evening. In Hemp or Flax there is little
alteration.

FRITIT.—We noticed last week that inquiries were
made for Red. Smyrna .Raisins, and that the stock in
London was very small, not exceeding 1,100 barrels,
and two-thirds of the quantity being in the hands of
one importer, attracted the notice of the trade ; 200,
barrels have been bought at 475., and the holders
have now raised their demands to 485., and are not
anxious to sell at that price. Currants also appear
on, the advance, another cargo has. been sold privately
at the late prices, and an advance of Is. a 2s. is to-
day asked. The other descriPtions of Fruit are held
with greater firmness, but the purchases reported
are not extensive.

TEA.—There is a good demand for Boheas, but
only sale prices can be obtained—the other descrip-
tion are heavy.

Campeachy Logwood, imported 1822, sold 71. 2s. 6d.
