THE MARKETS.

(From the New London Price Current of Frid;iy.)
SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades has con-
tinued steady and considerable during the week;
the average sales are about 700 !Ads each day,
which, with 18,791 bags Mauritius sold in Minc-
ing-lane by public sale, and the very extensive quan-
tity brought forward at the India House, forms an
important feature, showing that notwithstanding the
immense quantity of Sugars forced on the Market,
the prices have been fully maintained, and nearly the
whole has met buyers, and at rather better prices ;
we should say the Market looks uncommonly firm
and healthy. The dry brown Mauritius sold .545. a
.565., the better qualities 575. up to 61s. The de-
mand for. Muscovades has been again steady and
considerable to-day ; the estimated sales are 700
hhds.—The Market closed this afternoon with a
grr

!eat appearance of firmness.

The Refined ,Market is again nearly cleared of the
low goods for export, and the prices are 6d. to Is.
per cwt. higher ; the purchases of fine goods for
home consumption are considerable.—Molasses are
6d. higher. The demand for refined Goods, both
for export and for home consumption, continued
steady and considerable up till a late hour this after-
noon; there was no alteration in prices.—Molasses
unvaried to-day. In Foreign Sugars, the sales this
week are confined to parcels damaged.
COFFEE.—The public sales this week have gone
off with more spirit, and at rather better prices for
the British Plantation; the Foreign is unvaried ;
some ordinary broken St. Domingo sold at 445. 6d.
the good ordinary pale taken in at 4.55. The three
public sales 263 casks, 38 bags British Plantation,
662 bags Foreign, to-day attracted some attention.
Good ordinary pale St. Domingo was taken in at
445. 6d.; ordinary sold at 445.; ordinary Brazil,
455. taken in. Foreign Coffee is rather lower; Ja-
maica and Berbice 2s. higher than last week.
COTTON.—The accounts from Liverpool and from
the manufacturing districts continue favourable for
Cotton, but they have produced little effect here,
except that the market is more firm and the sales
more considerable. The purchases for the week
ending last night inclusive, consist of nearly 3,000
bags, of which the great proportion consist of
Boweds and Egyptian. The following are the par-
ticulars :-50 Bengal, sd. a .sicl.; 1,310 Surat, 4?-3d.
a 51d.; 20 Pernambuco, 94d.; 1,500 Bowed, 6d. a
7d. in bond; 500 Egyptian, 7d. a 70. duty paid.—
The public sale to-day, 389 bags Bengal, fully fair,
were all taken in at 4id. a 4id.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDs.--Thero is little
alteration in the Rum Market this week; some par-
cels of under proof Leewards are reported to be
offering about 2s. 3d., or rather lower; fine Jamaica
unvaried. Somt parcels of Brandy for export have
sold at full prices, but generally the Market is heavy
and rather lower. Geneva is unvaried. At a late
hour the only sales reported to-day was a parcel of
Jamaica 29 over, at 3s. 7d., and Leewards three
over, at 2s. 3d.; Pale Geneva offered about 2s. 7d.
INDIGO.—There are one or two parcels of the late

India Sale reported to be disposed of at 6d. per lb.
advance. Yesterday a large parcel taken in at the
late Sale (about 200 chests) sold at a small advance
on sale prices; one report states at 3d., the other
at .sd. per lb.; we believe it was at the former.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLow.--The Tallow
ket this week is rather higher, but the sales are bf
no means brisk or extensive. Fine qualities se,e'
scarce, and rate high in proportion to the inferior'
The prices of Hemp and Flax are little varied;
nearly the whole of the 12-head Flax in this MO'
ket is now disposed of, being the qualities suitable
for the linen trade. The Flax from France, Sze. Ibr
various other purposes, appears to go o 1 freely at
good prices.

Otis.—The Oil Market is heavy, but not lower,
except in Seed Oils; Rope has fallen considerably
TonAcco.—There are no purchases of Tobacco to
report. The public sales this week were too incoir
siderable for detail.

TEA.—The Market retnains steady ; Bohea in
half chests are scarce, so as to command Id. ad'
vance; in other sorts there is but little doing.
FRUIT.—The great scarcity of Red Smyrna
sins seems to have attracted the attention of the
grocers, some purchases having been made at 47s'
6d.; the quantity in the importers' hands is nor
very small : there have been no arrivals lately. le
Currants nothing appears to have been done this
week, the demand continues good, and prices are fulV
supported. In Valentia or Denia Raisins there 1s
very little doing; other descriptions remain without
alteration.
