LONDON MARKETS, MAY 2G.

Covrow.--The India Company have declared
11,700 bags Bengals for the 26th of June : from the
distant day fixed upon, it is anticipated that the quan-
tity brought forward will be very extensive. The pur-
chases of Cotton last week have been very limited,
consisting of 100 old Pernams 2s. lid. (for the new
the holders generally ask 2s. 2d.) 150 common Babias
2s. small parcels Demeraras 2s. Id. to 2s. l d. and
Bengals at 10}d. in the house.
Svc/tn.—The supply of new Sugars towards the
close of last week, became rather plentiful ; a great
proportion was, however, of the inferior brown de-
scriptions, and as the importers appeared anxious to
effect sales, the purchases were very considerable, at
prices a shade under the currency of Tuesday last.
This forenoon the supply of new Sugars was not so
plentiful as had been anticipated ; and generally con-
sisting of inferior brown description ; the business
done in consequence was inconsiderable ; two boards
Jamaica however -were sold at 85s. one at 83s. the re-
mainder of the purchases 775. to 82s. one broker sold
about 200 hhds. Muscovades however may be stated
at a decline of Is. on account of the anxiety amongst
the importers to effect sales. In refined goods there
was little business doing last meek ; the stock, how-
ever, being very limited, no reduction in the prices
were submitted to. Molasses were more in request.
There were no inquiries for Brazil or Havannah Su-
gar ; several parcels, which had been withdrawn from
the market for higher prices, were again brought for •
ward, but we believe no ofers were made at prices
near what the holders demand.
Correz.—This forenoon the market is particniarly
heavy, though no d2pression in the prices can be
stated : if offers were n.acle in the -resent state of the
market, Coffee might be purchased a shade lower ;
the holders, however, still evince considerable confi-
dence, and would net submit to any considerable re•
duction to facilitate sales. _

Intsrt Peovistos3.:—There is little variation in
Beef or Pork ; the demand for shipping has rather
revived. Bacon is not quite so much in request, but
no reduction in the price has be.en submitted tor—
There is great difficulty in disposing aflutter by pri-
vate contract.
117:31 AND BRANDT.—There has been a great re-
duction in the price tof Brandy submitted to. The
imports of Rum are considerable, and a> the new sup-
plies arc freely brought to market, a considerable se-
duction in prices may be stated.
Ott.—The prices of Whale Oil are soreinal, in
consequence of the extensive speculator in Oil having
failed ; the future prices will entirely depend upon
the manner in which his stock is brought forward ;
should it be all thrown upon the market at one time,'
a very serious depression would take place. Greenland
may at present be purchased about W. per tun lower,
and cargoes are offering at 301. Every other descrip-
tion of Oil nearly nominal.
INDrocr--There is little doing in Indigo; the pr;ces
cannot be stated at any variation since the late public
sale at the India House. _ _

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—There Is little va-
riation in the prices of Hemp and Flax. The pun•
chases of Tallow by private contract, lately have been
at, a small improvement.
PRICE OF But.mon.-4-Portugal Gold in coin, and
Foreign Gold in bars, were yesterday at 41. Is. 6d.--
New Dollars a,t ss. 6C4. and Silver in bars, standard,
at ss. 53d.
" GLASGOW, MAY ‘2s.—The sales of Cotton for the
week, including a public sale, amount only to about
750 packages. Sea Island Georgia, stained 11, at
2s. 8-id.—Do. Bowed 197, at 21id. to 22111—Per-
nambuco 87, at 2s. 3id. to 2s. 4d.—Maranham 52,
at 2s. 2d.—Demerara 17, at 2s. I pd.—Bengal 290,
at 14d. By auction—New Orleans 91, at 23d.—De-
merara 51. at 2s. lfd.—Do. stained 15, at 23-Id. to
2s. Ofd."
DECREASE OF LITIGATION.—In the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, on Saturday, there was not a single Ser-
joint who had a motion to make.
