THE MARKETS.

(From the New London Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovades last week
was very limited, the average sales did not exceed
400 hhds. each day ; the inferior soft Sugars sold
6d. to ls. per cwt. lower ; the strong and good qua-
lities fully supported the previous prices. There
were above 5,700 bags Mauritius forced upon the
Market last week, they went off quite the reverse of
the West India descriptions; the low qualities were
bought up freely by the exporters and refiners, and
all descriptions from 565. downwards, nearly sup-
ported the previous rates; dry brown 545.; all the
Sugars above 565. sold heavily at a reduction of ls.
per cwt. The stock of Sugars and deliveries are
nearly the same as on the corresponding week of
last year. The demand for Muscovades this day
was limited ; at a late hour the total sales were es-
timated at 600 casks. In the Refined Market last
week, the request for low Lumps for export, con-
tinued so extensive, that we must quote the prices
ls. higher, and the supply of goods still inadequate
to the demand; the quantity of crushed taken for
shipment to the Mediterranean, has also been exten-
sive; the fine goods for borne consumption continue
neglected.-Molasses were 6d. lower. There was
not the slightest alteration in the Refined Market
this afternoon.-There was some interest excited
last week, by the public sale of 157 chests, and 849
bags East India Sugars, the former being of an un-
common strong grain, similar to some Sugars two
years ago,respecting which there was much difficulty
in ascertaining whether or not they were clayed
Sugars • the present parcel was supposed to have
gone through some process; they sold 40s. a 445.;
the bags were Bengal; fine white sold 365. a
375.6 d.; damp at 348. and 355. The 45 chests
Brazil at public sale to-day were withdrawn.
COFFEE.-The public sales last week were exten-
sive; above 4,000 bags Foreign were brought for-
ward, the whole sold at low prices but with unusual
briskness; good ordinary Brazil extensively at
435. 6d. a 455. 6d.; fine ordinary 465. a 475. 6d. ;
ordinary Jamaica 435. 6d. a 455., good ordinary
455. 6d. a 465. 6d.; in British Plantation Coffee the
sales were not extensive; but parcels of Jamaica,
Demerara, and Berbice sold freely at about the pre-
vious currency; the fine ordinary Jamaica rather
higher ; Ceylon Coffee good ordinary was taken in
at 435. 6d.; good Cheribon at 50s. a 525. There
was only one public sale of Coffee this forenoon,
1,020 bags Brazil, a shade lower ; nearly the whole
sold good ordinary 455., coloury 455. 6d., fine
ordinary 475.; the extreme prices were 445. a
475. 6d. A few lots nearly fine ordinary Jamaica
sold at 535., which was very low ; the middling sold
high 78s. to 80s., and a few lots Berbice at former
rates. The market prices, to-day, are a shade lower,
but there is still a very extensive demand for Coffee.
SPICES.-East India Spices continue heavy, some
unsifted Pepper at public sale went off at 3d., and
by private contract, some light Pepper at aid. By
public sale this forenoon, 100 bags Pimento good,
9i-d. a 10d.
RICE.-Rice is heavy; the reduction we stated.,
last week in the prices does not facilitate sales, some'.
Bengal has been sold at prices again a shade lower.
BRAZIL WOOD.-By public sale this day, on ac-.
count of the agents of Brazil Bank, 269 tons, 49/.
15s. a 50/. ; only one of two lots sold.
TEA.-Boheas, in quarter and half chests, are
asked for at id profit; other kinds are steady.
TOBACCO.-The transactions in Tobacco since
Tuesday last are confined to parcels for Ireland, of
which about 2.50 hhds. are taken at 4id. a 5,1 d.
OILS.-There is little variation in the prices of
Oil, the demand has rather increased. Sperm has
been sold a shade lower.

FRUIT.—The reduction in the prices of Currants
appears to have increased the demand. Some
Chesme Fruit is stated to be sold at 455. which is
rather lower. Generally the Fruit market may be
considered heavy.

COTTON.—The Cotton Market has been very
heavy, and the accounts from Liverpool yesterday of
a further reduction in the prices has put a still greater
damp upon the demand. The sales for the week
ending last night inclusive are quite inconsiderable.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The purchases
of Rum continue confined to small parcels free on
board for export ; proofs and under, and two and
three over at 2s. sd. a 2s. 5d.; a parcel of Deme-
rara seven over sold at 2s. 6d. ; Jamaica Rums, of
strong and fine descriptions, continue scarce, and still
command the former prices. The few sales ofßrandy
for export are at prices a shade lower. The scarcity
of Geneva is so great that in one or two instances
26. Bd. and 2s. 9d. was last week realised.

IRISH PROVISIONS.—The sales of Irish Provisions
have been in considerable parcels, chiefly for ships'

into this market for exportation has excited
some interest ; the parcels from Germany

are consi-
derable; and we have also 1000 brls. of Beef and
200 brls. of Pork from the United States, the qua-
lity of both good, but some doubts are entertained
whether they are sufficiently salted for warm cli-
mates : the cut of the Provisions is also different
from the Irish, the American in particular is in very
large pieces; if the imports continue, it will mate-
rially alter the trade here, and the immediate effect Is
the interest excited, and the consequent check to the
usual purchases.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The accounts from
St. Petersburgh last week of the advances of Tallow
from 98 to 102 rubles, exchange about 10d., bad
no effect on this Market, the extensive sellers came
forward, and very large parcels were contracted for
about 375.; since then the Market has advanced
6d. to 9d. per cwt.; the Market assumed some
briskness, particularly yesterday, when a further
impulse was given by. the extensive deliveries for
the home consumption 1,492 casks last week, being
nearly 400 casks more than the corresponding one
of last year.—Hemp was also in greater request, and
the late advance of 421. was fully supported.—The
late sales of Flax are 381. 10s. for St. Petersburgh
12 head; the holders are still sanguine respecting
higher prices, and they state the canvas wanted by
