The markets for colonial produce have been gene.
rally heavy ; the decline in the prices of the chi
,rticles of trade may be asetibed to the present set
tied state of Europe, the value of every article return-
ing to its natural or peace price.
COTTON.-•.-The Cotton market last week we•
heavy, and prices declining Id. a 2.1. per lb. ; then
were, however, few sellers at the *eduction ; onl
500 bales, independent of the East-Indie sale, were
disposed of.
Livreteoote OCT. 21.-Gloomy as our Cowie
mat ket was the last week, it has been still more Sr
this, and prices continue to decline : the interior and
middling qualities of every sort are nearly unsaleable
even at our present reduced prices.
Sunees.-The demand for Muscovedes continued
limited last week, and where the holders were deter.,
mined to make sales, very low prices were submitted
to; generally the market could not be stated at any
depression, and it °tight to be clearly stated that se
reral houses, and of great eminence, nut only refuse
to sell at the depression we have lately mentioned,
but, even should the demand become brisk, would
not sell till the currency had advanced to the high-st
prices lately realized ; vse shall not pass any corn-
' ment upon the likelihood or improbability of such :i
change; we have only to reinart: a c‘.nsl3erible pro.
portion of Sugars are in the market held under tin,
pinion, and that last season the advance was realize..
With reference to what we have mentioned, th
many houses refuse to sell Muscovades at presiee
we have to state a farther decline in the prices siiee
last Tuesday of 3s. a 4s. per cwt. ; brown Jeinalcas,
hut with considerable strength, have be.en seld at
645. ; good Demerarys 85s. a 86s. and with much
colour 88s. • some Jemaicas, formerly worth ii 'is
been sold at 925. ; we state the depression after
perusing with attention the late sales, the total de-
cline from the late highest price Bs. a 10s. per cwt. ;
and as we before mentioned, since last Tuesday a
4s. ; we quote brown Jamaica 8 ts. ; the lowest Su-
rinam, 80s. Delivered for the consumption of the
country last week 2699 casks, and for export 327
casks.
Refined Sugars have been pressed upon the mer-
ket at a farther decline of ss. a 7s. It is now calcu-
lated that the Refiners will not work so freely, both
on account of the depression of the prices, and also
there being no bonding for e suing trade. The
sales last week were made at ry low prices ; brown
Lumps, I 265. and reported at 1255. ; single I,t,avvs.
131 s. a 132 s ; Powders, 1335.; liamborgh. 158 .
Datilies were ss. lower ; crushed Sugars sold cur-
rently at 84s. and 855.; but kr money, and under
particular circumstances, at B'Js. The report of the
contract at 78s. under similar circumstances, may
also be true ; Molasses heavy at 335.
The great depression in the prices of refined goods
has occasioned a revival in the demand ; there is more
btisirwss done yesterday and to-day than for some
time past; the prices are, however, witi.out any im-
provement.
In Forei....to &mars little or no business has been
elicited ; the quotations are in consecprence nominal.
We h.rv,t, tura ever, Limn:2 our acimtations 2s. a 4s.
as parcels offer at that reductit n, which is a decline
in proportion to the ether descriptions of Sugar.
Ciln EE.-The netiket coutinues languid and de-
clining. Lest week 11.59 ceses, and 3187 bap. were
brought to public sale, the greater proportion taken in ;
middling Dominica extensively at teis.a9Ote ordinary
Jantaica (iB3. ; good ordinary 70s. a 725. 'fine ordi.
nary 73i. and 745. The Foreign Coffee went off at
very low prices, hut scarcely to be taken as a crite-
rion of the market, being (mei.* ups' effects; 1280
bags St. Domingo good ordinary, the greater 'pro-
porerin sold at 745. 6J. and 755. a little inferior 725.
fid. a 73'-. A great proportion of the holders an.,
now is ithdrawing their Coffee from present sale, the
prices having been so extremely depressed; the 58000
bags declared by the East-India Company, and the
rise in the Foreign Exchanges continue to be the
chief reasons assigned for the declining currency. 1:
may, however, be mentioned, that a temporary pause
in the markets of Holland, Hamburgh, &c. is very
general at this season, the holder: wishing to ascer-
tain as nearly as possible the total shipments from this
country previously to forwarding the winter supplies
into the interior of Germany, Sic.
There was an inconsiderable sale of Coffee this
forenoon, chiefly ordinary descriptions.
Jamaica, very in Binary to good ordinary 675. a
703. forming no criterion of the market, the sale went
off heavily, a considerable proportion was taken in.
Delivered for exportation last week 1561 casks and
4056 bags Coffee.
DYEWOODS.-The languid demands for Dyewocds
his continued ler such a length of time, thet Log-
wood, &c. is seldom transmitted to the country,
but as dunnage for the shipping : yet the stocks in-
crease, owing no doubt, to the general calculation,
diet the improvements in chemistry have lately been
so extensive, that cheaper articles can be substituted.
The stock is now 13,000 tons ; the quantity has pre-
vented any speculation, and small parcels are only
taken for immediate use or for exportation. The last
parcel of Jamaica sold at Jell ; the Liverpool sales
are noticed at £ll. 10s.
NAVAL STORES. -There is no rough Turpentine
at market. Spirits may be quoted at 925. to arrive
from the outports 90. Tar little varied : SOO barrels
Archangel Pitch last week, brought to public sale to
settle a dispute, geld the first lots 10s. 9d. and by the
competition of small purchasers was run up to 12s if d ;
in the other articles there is little variation.
Asnrs..-There are few Ashes in the market, a
small parcel of American Pots offering at 90s ;
Russia may be quoted.6Bs.

Beef remaining, and the outward bound West In-

warm weather preventing the curing of beef, several
small parcels of the new are arrived at the outports,
