• Nee ORLEANs, OCTOEZR 9.-The few bales of
Cotton that have arrived went cff at 28 and 29 cents.
not more than 23 and 24 can safely be calculated
upon."

• LIV X.111P001." DeCetankA 21.-During the greater
part of the week the Cotton market was very quiet,
and about Wednesday some little decline took place
in the middle and inferior qualities of Boweds and
Orleans ; yesterday, however, there was considerable
enquiry for these descriptions ; other kinds, how-
ever, continue dull ; and of the Demeraras offered
by auction, only two lots were sold., 'the arrivals
this week are only 927 bags, and the sales amount to
about 2800 bags."
Sucast.-When it became generally known on
Wednesday last that no Sugars would be on shew
this week, the demand considerably encreased ;-
there was, however, no briskness ; the prices gene-
rally were without variation, in some instances Ides-
covades, in speculators' bands, were purchased a
shade lower.
There has been no general request for Refined
goods since our last; yet several rather extensive
, purchases have been made, chiefly we believe Lumps
1031. a 106 s. The export houses evince a disposition
to secure goods at the present curiency, but the Re-
finers decline the offers, except at a considerable ad.
Trance ; there being no bonding allowed, and the
length of time that must elapse before the spring
shipping commences, added to the further delay in
recovering the bounty, appear great obstacles to the
arrangements between the trade and the extensive ex-
porters ; goods for immediate delivery can be pur-
chased lower than parcels deliverable in February
anci'March next.
In Foreign dugan there is little variation, the
prices nominal ; last week 1664 bags East India de-
scriptions were brought forward in Mincing-lane ;-
the prices were 2s. a Ss. lower.
Corret.-There continues to be great fluctuations
in Coffee; Java, and other East India descriptions,
with the exception of Mocha, are Ss. to 4s. higher ;
Dutch Coffee remains without variation ; the ordi-
nary qualities of Jamaica may be quoted at a de.
cline of 2s. per cwt. of West India descriptions nr.ly
one sale was brought forward last week, consisting ot
399 casks and 870 bags ; good ordinary pale Ja-
maica 71s. a 73.. ordinary middling 82s. 61 mid-
dling 91s. 6d. 656 bags Havennah went off uncom-
monly high ; ordinary and blaCk Triage, mixed and

dinary 745. V. a 775. East India descriptions sold

yellow 775. 6d. a 78c. equal to 83s. The East In-
dia Company brought forward nearly 30(10 bags,
selling in the usual manner, with the drawback of ss.
on exportation-274 bales Mocha 109 s. a 110 s.
26% b cgs of other descriptions ; yellow and dark
brown Java Us. a 8514,6 d. Bourbon 78s. a b. . Boor.
bun and Cheribon mixed 79i. damaged Java 745. a
sos. 6d. about a fourth of the Coffee was stated to be
taken in for account of the proprietors.
We have lately stated that the chief purchases of
Coffee were on speculation ; the cause of jhis tem-
porary depression in Jamaica Coffee last week, may
be ascribed to the shipping season having closed, ant:
speculators having sometime ago made up the full
quantity they choose to hold for the evr.nt of the
spring demand; the consequence was a small de-
cline in the descriptions which had been previously
purchased extensively on speculation. There are no
public sales this week, and very little doing by pri-
vate contract
Ursa Pnoviszotrs, kc.-The new Provisions, Reef
and Pork, of prime quality, continue scarce, particu-
larly the latter, and the general opinion in the mar-
ket is, that the prices throughout the season will rate
high, on account of the failure of the potatoe crop iii
I Ireland. Bacon continues to meet a heavy sale at
our quotations. The sales of Butter by private con-
tract have become very difficult to effect ; the mar-
ket continues in a very depressed state.
SMAINSTItE.-By public sale last week, 1t)55 bags
Saltpetre, +Os. 6d. a 416. 6d. a considerable propor-
tion taken. in at the for Mer rate.
H*r', FLA; AND TaLtow.-11tere is little varia-
tion in Hemp or Tallow ; the prices of Flax are im
proving ; the stack is very short of the usual supply,,
and the business lately effected has been very con-
siderable.
Sixtus.-The enquiry after Spices has considerably
increased, and there is every appearance of a re-
viving trade.
To2ACCO.-The prices are declining in America
on account of the appearance of abundant supplies
and also the low prices in Europe are stated to have
considerably affected the currency in the United
States ; the arrivals since our last are 400 hhds Vir-
ginia, and-240 hbds Maryland. ; several vessels are
reported of the coast and in the River. The prices
are entirely nominal.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.--There has been
no business doing in Rums, purchases ir. the pre-
sent heavy state of the market could, no doub:, be
made a shade under our quotations ; so variation in
Geneva. Several parcels of Brandy have been dis-
posed of at a considerable decline.
Out -There is little variation in Oils ; the mar-
ket continues heavy.
NAVAL Stoune.-There is an arrival of Rough
Tetrpentine ; until sold the prices are nominal ; 206.
we believe, about the price. Spirits. town drawn,
3sl. in ether descriptions there is little altgration
the itirket heavy. _
