THE MARKETS.
-..--

CORN EXCHANGE, MARIE-LANE, JAN. 25.
Owing to the magnitude of our supplies (.5,420 quarter of Wheat,
10,100 qrs. of English, with 11,625 qrs. of Foreign Bar'ey, 15,000
qrs. of Oats, and 8,500 sacks of Flour,) and the reduction of ss. per
sack in Flour, the Wheat trade is in a.stagnant state ; not a single
sale ea 4 be effected; and, had any.offers been made, lower prices
would have been accepted. Barley is also in the same state, as the
high averages of the last fortnight leave little doubt of the ports
opening, and the maltsters have entirely left off purchasing. In other
articles no attention.

(VROI4 THE LONDON PRICE CURRENT, JAN. '25.)
COTTON.-There was only a moderate demand for Cotton in
our market last week, but same holders having been more dispo•ed

SUGAR.-The Market for Museovades last week was exceed-
ingly firm, with every prospect of a further advance : the good and
strong Sugars were very scarce, and the eager buyers were obliged
to submit to higher prices; there was, however, no gener.il im-
provement in the market prices.
The trade looked with anxiety as to the delivery of Sugars from
the West India warehouses ; the stocks, which were considerably
more than the preceding year, are fast reducing, on account of the
extensitte weekly deliveries ; the quantity taken out last week ei-
ceeds the corresponding ortstof last year by nearly 800 casks ; they
are likely to continue, on account of the great revival of trade. This
mottling the buyers of Muscovades were early at market, but the
quantity of good Sugars offering is inconsiderable. There has been
a steady business done this forenoon, and the late advance is fully
maintained. The sales to-day ate estimated to exceed 1000 casks.
