COMMZRCE.

LONDON v ARISKTII,..IIIWE 1.

Corros.:-The demand for Cotton last week was'
confined to parOels suitable for exportation ; and as
the market was rather heavy, the buyers purchased
on lower terms; GOO Bengala of good fair shippiinf
quality .werel :!ten:!tenat Ca. a feer good 6td. and 6
and 100 at bid. the inferior descriptions fully main•
tiised the former earrenc7 ; -the other parchases since
Tuesday last consist of 120 Pernams 19d. 30 Maran-
hams 170. The. India sale of ' 11th inst. is further
increased ; a considerable proportion of the new de-
claration is damaged Cotton.
Suoaa.—There were few purchases of Museovades
last week by private contract, the limited sales were
at a further decline of about ls. per cwt. the market
was well sqpplied with new Sugars, and several par-
cels of fine quality were on sale ; the request for
Muscovades. rather revived towards the close nf the
week, and more purchases were reported on Friday
than fol- some time preceding. There ate no sale,
this forenoon, it is usually kept a holiday, and in con-
sequence, very few houses have opened for the trans-
action of business; a few boards have been sold pri-
vately, but they canant be taken as any criterion of
the market ; the prices of Muscovades may, in conse-
qaence, be. stated nominally the same as on Friday
last. The sale of Barba ices Sugar on Friday consisted
of 100 hhds. 32 tierces, the whole went off heavily, at
prices Is. to 2s. per cwt. lower than the preceding
Tuesday—good white 84s. and 845.6 d. middling 80s.
to 821. 6d. brown and yellow 7 to 795. The prices
of refined goods have i) very considerably ;
the request was.laiaguid tzl .owards the close of last
week, when there was mote ...isnation in the demand,
and a greater wish to do business ; the Refiders have
little stock, and have for a length of time been work-
ing on a very limited scale • Molasses are again
heavy, and slecltiiilg. The demand for Foreign Su-
gar:coatinues limited.
Cora Et—There were two public sales of Coffee
brought forward last week, the prices of Demerara
and Babice descriptions were again lower ; good to
fine ordinary selling 90s. to 945. middling 995. St.
Domingo, of fine quality, 88s. and 90s. the request
by private contract appeared rather to revive yester-
day ana this forenoon ; the enquiries were chiefly for
Foreign Coffee, and good St. Domingo, ia.consider-
able parcels, was reported to be sold at 89s. This
forenoon a very considerable public sale was brought
forward, consisting of 1343 bags all Brazil Coffee ;
the greater proportion good ordinary, which sold at
845.6 d. 365. the whole of the Coffee brought for-
ward was disposed of, but there was not that anima-
tion in the market which, from the numerous en-
quiries previous to the sale, had been generally looked
for ; of the Coffee :narket it may be stated, that the
orders received from the Continent are most exten-
sive, and the prices of Coffee have declined below the
limits generally mentioned by the foreign correspon-
dents, yet the state of the money market prevents
them being at present executed.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The prices of Tal-
low have given way coisiderably, the reduction does
not facilitate sales to any extent. Hemp may ,also
be purchased on lower terms. In Flax there is little
variation, and generally the market may be stated ex-
ceedingly heavy.
Rust BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-.-The Rum mar-
ket continues exceedingly heavy, the prices nearly
nominal, until Friday last, when a public sale took
place, which establishes the market prices at a very
considerable reduction from the late nominal quota-
tions ; the sale consisted of 273 puncheons 46 pipes
Demerara Rum, of a 'vety good quality, the prices
vyexp,.for S. to, 10 0. P. 2s. Sd. to 2s. 6d.-12 to 17

Pissauco.—By public sale the 26th ult.-525 bags
Pimento, 61d. to 7d.
Otz..--There is little variation in the prices of Oil;
the Southern put up to public sale last week was, we
believe, all taken in fcc the proprietors. The Cape
Oil, lately arrived, was sold previously to its reach-
ing gngland, and is, in consequence, not on the
market ; Seed Oils continue declining.
Om, Sm.—By public sale the 27th May.--About
ISO tuns Fme Pale Southern Whale Oil (newly
landed) £34. to OS. 2 tons Southesit'Walebone £47.
SO tuns American Sperm Oil, £74. and £75.
- Pautr.--There is no demand . for Fruit, the prices'l
are, in consequence, nominal.
larsu Paovissoss.—There is little variation in Beef
and Pork., There is no new Butter yet arrived ; the
best parcels of the old meet a moderate demand.
TEA.—The Tea sale commenced this morning at
. the India House, the prices must, in consequence, be
i..eonsidered nominal.

--- Livpap 00L, MAY 29.

and a further decline las taken place in Boweds and
'Orleans of about id.' per pound ; the public sales

N. Orleans 111 d. to 120. for ordinary to good fair;
556 Swats ofd. to 6d. 104 Bourbons 161 d. to 20f d.
and 69 Carthaganas 10d, to I Id. the Surats were of
a very inferior quality, still they must be considered
about id. to d.lower than any thing previously done.
The sales of the week amount to about 7700 bags ;1
• there are no arrivals worthy of notice.
