Crerrow.-The late India sale has greatly impro-
ved the market : the demand since has been very
considerable ; the purchases for the week exceed 72a0
packages-1200 Surats were sold 130. to 16d. 400
Bengals 10d. to 12d. both descriptions exclusive of
duty. The other purchases were-120 Pernams
Id. to 2s. 1:d. 350 Maranhams 230. to 23F,d, SO
Demeraras 22i 0. to the a few Surinams 28Wd. to 2s.
The imports of Cotton last month into London, Li-
verpool, and Glasgow, were 3G,695 bales.
SUGAR.-There was more doing in Muscovades
last week, though the demand was by no means ex-
tensive ; the gcod and fine Sugars realized prices
shade higher ; the inferior hung heavily
on hand, and
were offered on rather lower terms without facilita-
ting sales. The wholesale grocers were considerable
purchasers for the home trade, and s:eewed a disposi-
tion to buy; the refiners were also attracted by the
great depression in the prices, and the anticipation of
a revival in the demand as the spring shipping sea-
son approaches.
We mentioned there was evidently more business
doing in hluscovades for the supply of the country
trade ; the deliveries from the warehouse confirm the
opinion entertained ; they are more extensive than for
,some weeks preceding ; the stock is however still
5000 casks more than last season. The minket was
well attended by purchasers this forenoon, and good
Sugars fully sopported last week's prices ; the ordi-
nary and soft brown may be purchased a shade
low.r ; the business done this forenoon has been
very Fieited.
Lo the refined goods the business done was not so
extensive as in former weeks, and one or two parcels
were purchaced at prices a shade lower, but there
was no general depressioa ; double Loaves and
crushed Sugars were enquired after ter spring ship-
ments, and die refiners continue cin,fident that price.
will not materially decline, as there is a request for
the Mediterranean, and in a few weeks the purchase,
in anticipation of the usual spring exports will coo-
, mence. Molasses continue heavy and declining.
For Foreign Sugars there were no inquiries in the
course of last week.
Cium.-There was much interest excited by the
pliblic sale of Thursday being considerable as to
quantity, and being brought forward at a dull season
e)1 the year, when all export has nearly ceased ;-it
was anticipated that the whole would be withdrawn,
or sold at very reduced rates ; the holders, however.
continue still so Linguine that prices will rate high in
the spring, that they are indifferent as to effecting
sales at present ; the purchasers at the public sale
came forward freely-it consisted of 441 casks and
1418 bags Coffee, the whole were sold ; the Jamaica
descriptions at the late prices ;. the Dutch 2s. to Ss.
higher, being in great demand for the home trade ;
the Alie. Domingo sold 2s. lower-ordinary Jamaica
S7s. good ordinary 895,6 d. to 91s. fine ordinary 91s.
lid. and 925. middling 965.. good middling 100 s. 6d.
coed ordinary Dutch 925. fine ordinary 945. Gd.
middling 975. Gd. good middling 99*. 6d. to 102 s.
1, 7 casks good ordioas y St. Donlifigo sold at 925.
There were two public sales of Coffee brought for-
ward this foren'oon ; the first entirely Dutch Coffee,
which went off freely-60 casks and 80 bags mid-
' dling and good middling 9Ss. to 995. The second,
consisted chiefly of Havennali descriptions, 145
casks 484 bags, ordinary brown colour 89,. to 89s.
6d. good ordinary very ezieosively at 90s. fine ordi-
nary Vs. Gd. to 935. of the Coffee market it way be
stated that the demand 'is evidently increasing, not-
. withstanding the season of the year. The sales of
Coffee to-day, more especially towards the close of
the second, went tiff with considerable briskness; the
prices this forenoon cannot, however, be stated at any
advance on the currency of last week.
IRISH Paavisioes.-Prime Pork continues in goodl
eemand ; the importations of prime Beef have been
ex:ens ye ; the prices however continue to rate high.'
Bacon is still very heavy, and the consumption, as
uzu il at this season, very trivial. The supplies of
Butter continue inadequate to the demand ;-the
market is rather bii.ker.

Rice.—Carolina Rice has become so very scarce,
that the holders are asking Ws. and Hs. for smali
panels ; SSW bags of Last India descriptions,
brought forward • last week by public sale, realized
Stu and 525. which was the currency previously by
private contract ; >< great proportion of the late pur-
chases are reported fur exporjation.
Tuaacco.—The demand for Tobacco for the home
trade is considerable ; the prices are without any va-
nation. The letters from Faris state that another
contract with the French Government may be expec-
ted about the 20th irritant.

Ou..—The pikes ot Whale Oil advanced last week
a shade higher. Seed Oil is a shade lower.
Hasse, keax, AND TALLOW.—There have been ex-
tensive purchases ot Tallow ; the prices have advan-
ced rapidly ; when the revived demand appeared on
Saturday and yesterd4y, it was reported that private
accounts had been received, stating, that the Baltic
had been closed by the ice, and that no farther im-
partations could be expected this season ; this, how-
ever, is not confirmed by the letters through Holland
this morning ; one great reason of the advance of
Tallow is, that many houses who contracted to de.
liver large parcels at certain prices, are unable to
tultil the contract without purchasing extensive par.
eels in this market ; and as the holders are aware of
this, and many of them being themselves the persons
to whom the 'fallow was contracted to be delivered,
relined to sell, except at very high prices ; 7Ss. is to.'
day realized for Yellow Candle Tallow. Hemp is
again advancing, and in request. Flax sells freely.
RUM, BRANDY, AND Hotadoms.----Towards the
close of last week, the opinion entertained that Rum'
would be taken for the Allied Armies in France, and
also the report of its being used for general consump.
tion in that country, began to be entirely discredited;
a considerable depression immediately took place in
the prices of Rum. Leewards were offered at a re-
duction of 2d. to Sd. per gallon, without facilitating
sales. To-day it being mentioned that there is every
prospect of the Allied Troops being entirely with-
drawn from France in the spring, there is nothing
whatever done in the Rum market; the prices are
entirely nominal, and it is a great question if any
business be done for some time until the certainty of
the event of the withdrawing the troops is ascertained.
Brandy has fallen 6d. per gallon, indeed 'is is diffi
cult to give a correct report of die spirit str'uket, for
is this nAproing completely suspended.
