THE MARKETS.

(From the London New Pries Current of Friday.)
SUGAR-The demand for Muscovades has been very languid
all the week ; the sales average about 350 hhds. per day. The
late prices are fully supported, and the holders continue sanguine
of a revival in the request on account of the late extensive deli-
veries—Stock 26,377 hhds. 1,771 tierces and.

prices are generally ls. lower. The wholesale grocers still
Purchase ou a limited scale the fine goods for home con-
sumption. This forenoon there was some stagnation in trade,
and although sales are reported lower (particularly lumps),
yet this is not a general currency, and the holders to-day do not
appear inclined to force sales. Molasses are steady. By public
sale 4,000 bags Mauritius Sugars good quality sold with brisk-
ness at very full prices, and a considerable proportion taken by
Foreign Houses, supposed to be in participation of the ship-
ping ; the Siam Sugars 200 bags good quality, white sold
also with 355. a 38s. 6d., damp 345. The quantity of Ha-
vannah Sugar at the Market is only 1,252 chests, and one chest
Brazil ; the quotation of both must in consequence be considered
nominal.

COFFEE.—The price of British Plantation Coffee brought for-
ward this week has been almost too trivial to constitute Market
prices. By public Sale 500 bags Foreign ; a great proportion
very fine ordinary Brazil 495. a considerable proportion was taken
in that price, and disposed of after the sale; fair quality St. Do-
mingo 48s. and 48s. 6d., we in consequence quote Foreign Coffee
at a further reduction of Is. per cwt. Stock in the West India
Warehouses 9,671 Mids. and trs., 78,502 brls. and bags ; last
year 13,357 hhds. and trs., 76,885 brls. and bags. The present
prices are 2s. lower than at the same period last year. There
were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon, and one pur-
chase by private contract only reported, we quote the reduc-
tion we have stated In Foreign since this day week ; Bri-
tish plantation very heavy, but we cannot quote any decline,
the parcels taken for home consumption lately are quite in-
considerable.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HotLaNns..--The purchases of Rum that
have transpired this week, are Jamaica 31 over at 35. 9d. ; Lee-
wards 6 over at 2s. 6d., and proofs at 2s. sd.—There are few
sales of Brandy lately ; the holders are showing no inclination to
make sales at any
.reduction, and the former prices cannot be ob-
tained.—Geneva unvaried.—Stock of Rum 14,995 puns., 903
; corresponding week of last year, 16,762 puns. 1,249 hhds.
Prices are 3d. per gallon higher than at the same period last year.
The quotation of Scotch Malt Spirit is 10s. Bd. ; Irish 10s. 4d. ;
English 10s. 9d. cash.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market has been
very steady, but we think the prices are a shade lower. In Hemp
or Flax few purchases are reported.
Oms.—Greenland Oil is heavy. Seed Oils are rather higher;
the other descriptions are unvaiied. The public sale of Sperm
yesterday, a very inferior parcel, 56 casks sold 621. 58. a 644.
15s. ; the quality Was so inferior that it has produced no altera-
tion ; five casks Plead Matter sold 671. ss. ; four casks Cocoa
Nut Oil 27/. 10s.

SALTPETRE.—By public sale this week 2,000 bags Saltpetre
sold at 235. 6d. ; a few lots (to come in), 245.
TOBACCO.—There were considerable sales of Leafy Tobacco
early in the week at 3id. to 441. ; the demand has since become
lauguid. The particulars of the contract With the Freud Go-

v'ernment transpiring to-day had little effect on the market;
Maryland Tobacco has been taken about 12d. ; Kentucky,
4,5 id. ; Cuba and Ammersford at high rates ; 430 hhds. Ken-
tucky at 129 f. per 100 kill, equal to 4-0. ; 6 or 700 hhds.
Maryland at 312 f. per 100 kits, equal to Is.
INntco.—The demand for Indigo is not brisk or extensive, but
the holders evince much firmness in the anticipation of a revival
in the trade.

higher.
SILE—The Sale at the India House is finishing. The Bengal

selling to day at an advance on the first sorts of 3s. a 4s. on
last sale.

is not very lively; there are no further arrivals of Currants.
