Suoaas.-The demand•for Muscovadds continued
very 'limited last week; the purchases did not exceed
two' or three hundred lards.; good Brown Demerara'
886.1 Jamaica at 904. ; bright middling Surinam at
the s ime price; the lir...ited purchases wera at a fur-
ther decline of Is. per cwt. and a greater disposition
among the holders to effect sales. It ought, however,
to be stated, that several houses have nitit submitted
to any'deptessiou whatever, and fur the present de-
cline to make any sales, looking with cGtifidence to
ra improvement of the market; the deliveries ave-
raging about 4,000 casks weekly, which, in a very
short time, will reduce the stocks in the warehouses,
as all the supplies for the year are now arrived ;
few single vessels may come in before the Ist of JA-
unary, but the quantity will .be too trivial to affect
the market. The present price of Muscovades is 5..
to 6c. lower than at the same season last year.
The market this fore:won remains heavy, very few
purchases have been made, low Grenadas have been
sold at 87s. ; middling Nevis, 91• s. ; good St. Kitts,
935.; one or two boards Jamaicas; Scarcely any
other business has been effected. We have ben very
particular in examining the prices of the few Sugars
sold the end of last week and to-day, and, on a com-
parisnn, with the liitliest rate realized two'or three
weeks ago, we tied the depression of the prices of
Muscovadea altogether to be Is, a ss. per cwt. De-
livered last week 2,628 caski for the consumption of
the country ; for export 995.
I'he Refined market continues to decline, yet the
depression that has taken place facilitates sales ; pur.
chasers, both for the home trade and for export, were.
at market last week ; Brown Lumps were bought so
low as 1325. ; considerable sales of Crushed Sugars
at 89s. ; Molasses were in request at 335. and 335. 6d.
The present friers rf Refined Sugars are about 20s.
lower than in the mouth 4.1 October, 1814 ; Crushed
Sugar 15s ; and Molasses lOs a 12s lower.
The market this forenoon is again depressed by
the unfavourable reports of the Hamburgh and the
Dutch markets, purchases may be made a shade
lower.
There has been scarcely any business doing in fo-
reign Sugars; purchases could however be made at
some reduction from the late prices, owing to the
very heavy markel ; a small parcel of Martinique,
petit blanc, was sold at Ms; Brown and Yellow
Havannah Sugars now rare ekout 10s under the cur-
rency of last year, the White ascription about 15s.
lower ; Clayeds, of which there is a small supply et
market, are very heady at the same prices.
Havannah Sugars may be purchased 2s a 4s under
the former rates, we have lowered our prices accord-
ingly ; Brazil Sugars may be purchased 2s a un-
der our quotations.
Cos rice —The quantity of Coffee brought fore.-ard
by puYeie sale list week was 2,061 casks and 2,555
b‘gs ; no general depression can be stated in the
currency, yet the market oa Friday closed so exceed-
ing heavy, that several parcels were sold at a farther
depression of 2s. per cwt. ; the quantity brought for-
ward was too extensive fur the demand ; the market
was also damped by the East India Company de-
claring 35,000 bags for sal • 7th proximo; one of the
sales on Wednesday was all taken in, with the ex-
ception of two lots good middling Jamaica at 100 s ;
the others found also a crry limited number of pur-
chasers ; 400 bags St. Domingo, ordinary quality,
being withdrawn at 79s 6.1 ; a few fine middling lots
Jamaica realized 103 s 6d. The large sale of Thurs-
day was also chiefly taken in ; very extensive parcels
of middling and good middling Dominica were
brought forward ; the demand was extremely languid
and the market so depressed by the large quantity of
Coffee brought to that the few purchases to-
wards the close of the week were at the depression
we have stated of Ls par-cwt. The present prices of
Coffee are full 10s. lower than in October,lBll.
There WAS a public sale of Coffee this forenoon,
consisting chiefly of Dutch descriptions, so languid
creeinues the demand, that the greater proportion
has been withdrawn at prices rather under the cur-
rency of last week, middling Dutch 83s rd ; fine
ordinary at 75.; the exposts of Coffee last week
1,216 casks and '2,042 bags.
Corrox.—The ad vices from Liverpool received
during last week, stated Cottons declining Id per
lb ; it affected the mai ket here, but the holders were
more firm, and though the purchases were made a
'shade under the former currency, yet no considerable
depression was submitted to. The prices of Cotton
are now as nearly as possihle at the same rates as at
this season last year, when we were at war with
America, the negotiations at Ghent not being then
brought to any conclusion.
There was no business doing in cottons yesterday,
but the holders are confident .et a revival in the raw
material, as trade at Manchester continues extremely

brisk.

" LIVERPOOL, OCT. 14.—We do not for a long
time back recollect a more gloomy week in Cottons
than the present has been, :tad prices may be consi-
dered Id per lb. lower."
.• Rim—The demand for Rice continues limited ;
notwithstanding the quatiti:y at market is very tri.
vial, the present prices are In.. r than in October, 1814.
Coco.', has been for some time entirely neglected;
the present prices are neatly the same as in Octo-
ber, 1814.
Fitm.r.--"The season is now approaching when a
revival in the demaild is looked for: Fine Currants
have been enquired alter ; there has been an arrival
of new Spanish Fruit in boxes. The marker, how-
ever, may be still stated. generally heavy. The pre.
sent currency is much under the prices of last year.
SILIG—The sale finished this forenoon ; we shall
give a full report of the quantity and the descriptions
rust wevl. The sale has gone off at low prices.
INDio.).—'Tie East India Sale will continue for
some time ; about 2700 or 26t)0 chests are now sold
or taken in ; the whule quantity declared about 60(X)
chests. 'Ere pikes appear to be going a little higher
than the last sale.
6ricas.—The demand for Pimento continues lan-
guid, the best parcels brotight to market haVe been
selling at UV; the present prices are 2d. a 3d.
under the currency of last year. Since last sale, an
advance of :id. a 4d. per lb. has been realized car the
Cinnamon ; Mace has been iii request ; very little
enquiry has been made after Nutmegs or Cloves.—
Cassia Lignea has been declining, owing to the quan-
tity of the inferior descriptions ; last week, at tht
la-
di.t House, 22N small bundles in privilege were sold.
