LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of Tuesaay.)
fil;d.4!:4C—There was a regular and extensive de-
mand for MuscoV;ader week ; the purchases
were estimated to exceed 2,000 tuti tierces,
and they would have been much more •cifetOre
had there been an adequate supply of good Sugars;
but they are scarce, and are so much wanted
that the holders obtained an advance of Is,
.per
bwt.; the ordinery und soft brown descriptions
geld more tektily, bat nd ed-Ninee Of IT:I-fort:mee
in the prices could be stated. The stock of West
India Muscovades is 2,327 hhds. and trey. more
than at the same period of last year. The deliveries
from the warehouses were 2,901 hhds. and tics.,
being 287 less than the corresponding week of 1828.
The coloury Sugars are still very scarce, and sell at
high rates, in several instances 2s. advance has been
obtained ; parcels sold ten days ago at 655. are now
selling at 675,; the same quality of Sugars are now
selling at 685., which, ten days ago, rated at 665.
At the close of the Market the estimated sales of this

day wet 1,000 hhds. and !res. The Relined
Market has been nearly cleared of goods by the late
extensive transactions; the prices last week were
more firm, but no decided advance could be stated.
Molasses were without variation. The scarcity of
Relined goods is very perceptible to-day, and the
fine qualities which formerly were in large supply
arc more scarce than the lower qualities; there is,
however, little doing►, and ❑o alteration in the prices
can be stated. Molasses are very heavy.
FOREIGN SUGAR.—There are no sales of Foreiga
Sugars to report.
EAST INDIA SUGAll.—Bengal Sugars continued
in request last• week on account of the scarcity of
West India coloury descriptions. After the day of
our publication (Tuesday), last week 1,581 bags
Bengal Sugars were brought forward at public talc,
the whole sold with briskness at very high prices,
good white at 38s. a 38s. Gd., mid. 345. 6d. a
355. Gd.

WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There arc few sales of
West India Molasses to report; the prices are with-
out alteration ; a considerable decline has taken place
at Liverpool. At a late hour several contracts for
small parcels West India Molasses transpired ; fine
at 245., Demerara and Nevis at 235.
COFFEE.—The Coffee Market is very firm at the
lute advance of 2s. per cwt.; there .are few sellers
even at this improvement ; for good St. Domingo
395. is How asked. The accounts from Flanders
yesterday state, that Coffee was in good demand and
improving, though the Netherlands Company had
announced 80,000 bags for sale. This afternoon
the market remains very firm, and there are few
sellers. By public sale to day only 23 bags returned
East India Coffee offered, which, of course, forms
so criterion of the market prices.

Rum, BRANDY, AND HOILANDS.—The prices of
Spirits continue nearly nominal, on account of the
few sales lately reported. There is still an expec-
tation of a large Rum contract for Government.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOM—In Tallow there is
little variation. In Hemp or Flax there are some
alterations, but not of a marked character.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—There is no alteration in
Beef. India Pork is rather higher. Butters were
advancinz, but the return of mild weather has
eheekedithe market. Arrivals last week 416 firkiris
Irish, 1,534 casks of Foreign; of Bacon, 2,598 bales.
TF.A.—It is in contemplation by Government to
make the duty on all Teas at and under 2s. per lb,
pay 100 per cent., as all do that sell above that
price ; this has increased the demand for Boheas,
the only kind under that cost, and they have ad-
vanced id. per lb. in consequence: other descrip-
tions remain steady, and, except a few favourite
breaks of Congou, which bear a premium, are gene-
rally at about sale prices.
INDIGO.—The India House sale of Indigo went
off steadily last week at the prices we stated on the
Tuesday. The Madras Indigo sold heavily, gene-
rally at a discount of 6d. per lb. on the last prices.—
The market yesterday received an impulse by the
withdrawing of about 700 chests from the sale. At
the close this day 5,317 chests are now passed, in-
cluding the quantity withdrawn.
The following is the result of the-sale, which will
finish to-morrow morning :—Bengal, fine, last sale
prices; Consuming ditto to 3d. advance; Strong
red for export, 4d. per lb. higher; Madras, low, 3d.
lower than last sale ; tine, 6th per lb. lower titan
last sale ; Oudc, 3d. a 4d. per lb. lower.
TOBACCO.—The late purchases of Tobacco are
about 1,000 Mids.. they chiefly consist of Strips,
changing hands at 6d. and 6id.; several purchases
of Leaf are also ryported at an advance of id. per
lb., and about 100 low Kentucky sold at 3d. The
came of the great activity in Strips or Stemmed
Tobacco arises from the Chancellor of the Emle-
pier having officially announced his intention of lay-
ing an additional duty of 3d. per lb. on that descrip-
tion of Tobacco. The late advance in Tobacco is
about 2d. per lb. on Strips or Stemmed, and id. to
1(1. per lb. on the other descriptions.
COTTON.—The -Cotton Market continues in a
most depressed state; the reported large crops in
the United States is given as the cause of the un-
common heaviness in Cotton. The sales for the
week ending last night inclusive are on the moat
limited scale.
