LONDON MARKETS, MARCH

CorroN.—The denrand for exportation last week
continued brisk and extensive, 1700 bags Conon were
sold in bond at the following prices: 700 Pernam-
buco; 19d a 19id, chiefly at the latter rate ; SO Cearos
18d; 25 Minas 14id ; 65 Orleans 15d; 30 Penveds
14d a 14-id ; 700 Bengals good common to fair
.t 6td, better quality bid a 7d, prime 7-;,d ; 150 Se-
rats very ordinary to fair elid a Bid ; prime Teomei
104 d and 10id, the whole were in bond, and reported
le, immediate shipment ; there were no sales tOr the
manufacture of the country.—lt is reported in the
market that 1000 bales Surats were sold privately
about ten days ago at Sid very ordinary, upeo
for good quality.
COFFEE.—There have been no public sides of Cof-
fee brought forward for nearly three weeks ; there
was some inquiry by private contract, and one exten-
sive parcel of St. Domingo, consisting of good and
fine ordinary descriptions, was sold so low as 117 s for
money , since then 12.0 s bas been realized ; there ap-
pears to be purchasers of Coffee, but they will only
buy where parcels offer a shade under the nominal
market prices.—There were no public sales this fore-
noon, and only one advertised for the week ; there
are no purchases by private contract, the quotations
may be considered nominal.
SI:GA n.—There was more business done in Sugars
last week than for some time preceding, the market
was however far from being brisk ; the prices ob-
tained at the public sale were fully maintained, ex-1
cept for some parcels held on speculation, which were
disposed of a shade under the market currency.---1
This forenoon the market is steady, but without bi isk-
ness ; the few low browns sold to-day have gone off
at prices a shade lower.—ln Refined goods last week
there was little variation as to prices ; several exten-
sive houses have reduced their establishments, others
are entirely worked out ; and, as the stocks are li-
mited, should an extensive demand appear, a very
material improvement may be expected ; some ordi-
nary lumps have been disposed of so low as 965,
small lumps for melting ICOs, but as these purchases
were for cash they cannot be given as a fair criterion
of the market ; the Grocers were purchasing the
finer qualities, but only on a limited scale. The brisk
and extensive request for Molasses has rather sub-
sided ; price to-day 33c and 33s Gcl. In Foreign
Sugars there is little doing.--This forenoon 75 casks
Brazil Sugars were brought forward, the whole were
washed, and afford no criterion of the market, middl-
ing white sold at 44s and 44s 6d, ordinary 40s and 11 s.
—This forenoon, at the India-house, about 8000 bags
were brought forward, the whole went off freely, the
good and fine Sugars 3s a 4s, the low qualities Is a
es higher than the previous prices by private contract
—Bengal brown and ordinary yellow, sound 28s a
30s, damaged 25s 6d a 30s ; grey and ordinary white
40s a 455, damaged 34s 6d a 42s 6d; good white
47s a 49s 6d ; damaged 42s 6d a 43s 6d ; fine white
52s a 535, damaged 46s a 47s 6d ; Bourbon brown
30s 6d a 335; yellow 37s a 39s 6d, damaged 32s ;
Java and Manilla, in bags, fine yellow and grey,
40s 6d a 435, damaged 39s a s9s 6d ; casks and boxes
39s a 41s 6d, damaged 36s 6d a 375.
Hess P, Few; and Teeeow.—The prices of Tal-
low gave way considerably towards the close of last
week, and purchases of Yellow Candle were reported
13 and Is 6d under our quotations ; the request has
since revived considerably and the currency inserted
are the last realized rates.—Hemp has also been in
considerable request, and, owing to the present li-
mited stock, the holders will not sell except at a con-
siderable advance; the quoted prices have been
realized, but several holders decline selling at present,
except a further improvement can be obtained.—ln
Flax there is no alteration.—The Exchange from
Petersburgh by the last letters remained steady at Ilid
Voanceo.--There were continued inquiries after
Tobacco last week for exportation, and several par-
cels were "disposed of at prices a shade under the
market currency ; a large sale of Tobacco is report-
ed, in anticipation-of a contract with the French Go-
vernment, which is looked for towards the middle or
end of next month ; but generally the market is with-
out briskness, and the export orders in Town, though
considerable, are limited to very low rates.
Rum, BRANDY, and Hoerteros.--There was little
business done by private contract last week ; the
quantity of Rum wanted by the Navy Board (100,000
gallons) was contracted for on Friday, a fraction un-
der Ss per gallon; there has since been little doing,
the buyers waiting the event of to-day's public sale ;
it consisted of 363 puncheons 1 hlid. Jamaica Rum
in the importer's hands, sold on the usual conditions,
one month, landing guage, and 5s per puncheon
charges ; the whole sold at a considerable reduction,
particularly the finer qualities, they were a fair par-
cel of Rums--12 to 16 sold at 3s 3d a3s4d; 18 to
20 sold at 3s 5d a 3s 6d ; 25 to 30 sold at 3s 8d a
3s ltd.—This public sale establishes the market
prices, which were previously nearly nominal ; the
depression may be stated 2d a 3d per gallon in low
Rums, and 4d a 6d on the finer qualities.
Ott.s.—The prices of Fish Oils continue to advance,
the request has been considerable and increasing, and
as the quantity at market is limited, the traders have
obtained a considerable improvement.—Seed Oils
are also in request at the quoted currency. Last
week by public sale about 150 tons American Sperm
Oil £79 a £Bl, chiefly bought in.
NAVAL Scones.—There has been little business
doing in I%aval Stores ; last week a public sale of SOO
barrels Rough Turpentine was brought forward, the

at ISs a 13s 3d ; in Spirits there is little doing.—
Pitch and Rosin are heavy, but without variation as
to price.

good Trinidad Cocoa ES 5s and £5 6s, red, tiom
Jamaica, 635.

duction, the market continues heavy.

India Rice, but at very low prices; several of these
parcels are reported to be taken on speculation. In
Carolina Rice there is nothing doing.

ception of Red Smyrna Raisins, for which there has
