LONDON MARKETS.

'From the 'London New Price Current of Tuesday.)

"Sudax.-L-The Sugar market was nearly cleafed ofZius-
covades last week, the purchases exceeded 7,000 hhdS.
and such was the firmness of the holders, and the. eager-

ness of the buyers to purchase, that the market prices ap-
peared daily to improve. A great proportion of the Sugar
appears to be taken by speculators, who have generallylse-
lected the good and strong descriptions ; the latter, in con-
sequence, rate high in proportion to the liner qualities,
selling about 705., the finest Jamaica, 725. The deliveries
of Sugar and the state of the stock attracted great interest
this morning. The deliveries last week were 3,531 casks,
' being 511 less than the corresponding week of last year;
there were, however, 2,646 bags Mauritius, 82 chests
Havannah, and 77 chests Brazil, delivered during last
week for home consumption or for refining. The compa-
rative stock, as we anticipated, is greatly decreased; it is
now 11,404 casks less than last year, yet it must be taken
into calculation that 9,300 casks were yesterday reported
inwards, and we do not think the comparative stock will
alter in any very marked manner till the arrival of the
August ships, when the stock will gradually fall off. (com-
pared with 1826) Rho-hid the advance not check the con-
sumption, ,of which' considerable fears are entertained.—
The buyers were early at market this morning, but from
the very deficient supply, few Sugars were on show, and
those chiefly of very inferior descriptions : under these cir-
cumstances the grocers and refiners did not show them-
selves extensive buyers, and for the same reason the specu-
lators, on looking over the small show, went off without
purchasing. The sales do not exceed 600 hhds. the prices
aro fully supported. The Barbadoes sale, 120 Mids. went
off 655. 6d. a 745. 6d. ; the Sugars 655. a 68s. very high;
fine white 745. 6d. low in proportion. Brown Jainaicas
635., other browns 625. In the refined market last week

there was much business at an advance of Is. to 2s. per
cwt. Lumps advancing from 83s. a 855., and other goods
in proportion. Molasses 274. The Refined Market was
not so brisk this afternoon on account of the unfavourable
reports from Hamburgh ; brown Lumps a shade lower.
The wholesale grocers appear to be extensive buyers for the
home consumption. Molasses, 275. brisk. In Foreign
Sugars the sales reported by private contract are fine white
Havannah 50s. ; fine strong yellow 405., and by public,
tale 297 chests good yellow, 395. and 39a. 6d., brown•36s.
6d. ; the latter sold very high, the former at rather lower
rates ; 50 chests Brazil 455. and 465., good brown 325.
6d. By public sale 1558 bags Mauritius went off with
great briskness 2s. a 3s. above any preceding sale, and fully
equal to the market prices by private contract, good brown
60s. a 635., yellow 645. a 675.
COFFEE.-The quantity of Coffee sold last week was
rather extensive, and generally at advancing prices, parti-
cularly the coloury descriptions, which appear to be in
considerable demand. The Demerara, all qualities above

fine ord. 3s. a 4s. Jamaica and ether British Plantation
descriptions 2s. a 38. higher. The St. Domingo good
quality sold about 465. Good ord. Brazil 435. a 445. 6d.
no fine ordinary was offered for sale. There were three
public sales of Coffee this forenoon, 161 casks; IS bags
British Plantation, 794 bags St. Domingo. The latter
good ord. coloury but mixed was taken in, 455. was offered
and refused ; the damaged sold at 435. ; the British Planta-
tion Coffee of the coloury descriptions 625. and upwards,
sold at a further advance of 2s. ; all the ordinary and
foreign Coffee at last week's prices.
IlEstv, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The market was thrown
into some agitation last week by. the adjustment of a time
bargain in Tallow to the extent of eleven thousand casks.
The contract was between two eminent houses; the par-
.ticillars did not transpire, but the first impression was that
a great quantity would be thrown upon the market, and
the prices in consequence declined to 355. The market is
since Is. higher, with a much firmer appearance. The ac.
counts from St. Petersburgh are to the 6th inst., 600
casks Tallow had been sold at 102 rubles, Exchange 10
11 32d. To all parts 60,000 casks Tallow had been
shipped, an unusual large quantity so early in the season.
Hemp and Flax remain at nearly nominal quotations.

Itmloo..—The Market since the sale steady, a few small,
lots to complete orders where they were bought cheap, have
been re •sold from 3d. to 6d. per lb., advance on sale prices;
but this is not general. The Market may be stated at the
sale prices. Indigo is, however, held with much firmness,
and the proprietors appear to have more confidence, than
at the close of the sale, when the demand appeared to flag,
and the priees lower than at any previows period. The
two Pnhlic Sales of Guatemala indigo last week, sold with
greater briskness than generally anticipated, sepporting the
prices of the former Public Sales.
PRovistows.—There is no alteration in Beef and Pork,
the purchases lately reported are inconsiderable.—Bacou
is in good demand at rather high prices.--Butters are not
so brisk, owing to considerable arrivals (about 12,000
casks Irish and Dutch), hut the late prices are nearly

maintained.
Hors.—The accounts from the Hop districts state the
fly is decreasing, and the plant throwing out new and vigo-
rous shoots.—The estimated Duty is about 90,0001.

rather extensive ; the chief sales are 235. 6d. To-day the
request continues, and 21s. is now the quotation.
BRANDT, and I-lot,LaNns.—The Market for low
Rums has lieen brisk, and the buyers bought freely up to
2s. 3d. 'all parcels offering under that price. The request
was checked by the advance, but the Market is still firm ;
in other descriptions of Ruin there was no alteration.—
Brandies:continue heavy. There is scarcely any Geneva
left on sale.

by private contract. The Public Sale last week was nearly
all taken in, no buyers of the fine 13s. 6d. a 14s. 7d. ; a

CorroN.—The Cotton Market has been steady, the ad-
vance of id. on the last India House sale was freely given,
and the purchases would have been extensive, but the
holders demanded an advance of id. per lb., which checked
the request, but it was in several instance. realised. The
following were the sales for the week ending last night in-
clusive :-1,000 Bengals 41d. a 41d., 1,320 Surats 4d. 'a
