after the adjoining house had • ustained some damage.

several pieces of cloth were r, sorted from the flames,
but the acinal loss is estiinated at between two and
£3,000, exclusive of the bniidiag ; and there is tea-
son to fear that an intended insurance upon the pro-
perry was not effected.

&natl.—The demand for Moscovadm rather ins•
proved towards the close or lAA %yea ; the ptyclidons
were attracted to the mat ket by the „that decline of
th-, prices, ng nearly 10s. per cwt. within two car
!Wee weeks, and as the winter supplies for the home
r.s impost must shindy be required, and the pa Ices
having been reduced to moderate rates, the market
look* d considerably better. there was more confidence
amoag,t the holders ; it was calculated above 2.514
casks lead betn sold durng the we, k ; Cle prices
at te, however. a..slrade lower—brown Jama.ca: hei,ig
disposed of at 755. and 765. and strong wuskirtg par-
cels 775. to 795.
The holders had anticipated that from the ap-
prarauce oi the market last week, the deliveties from
the war!rnuse would be muse extensive, but there
. were only aletut 2000 casks ; the holders have, in
Fonsequence, again shewed an increasing disposition
to effect sales, and a further seduction of Is. per cwt.
has taken place.
There was a good demand for refined Sugars last
week ; :he wholesale grocers were reported to be
purchasing for the home sueplevand several contracts

dt.eatied both in the demand and
.in inices.—No
variation I.as taken place in Butter.
Om —The prices ot Oil continue to decline; ,C 54
'is tile last realized price for Whale Oil. Rape has
declined 44 to £5 the cause of the stagnation ot
trade, and the genet al decline in the prices, continues
•ep he atti 'bated to the very high rates to which the
s:etulation has driven the prices of 0.1 up to ;—the
usual coniurnption has been prevented. The letters
from Hull yesterday, in stating the decline of the
prices in that market, observe, that there is no busi-
ness doing ; the trade, in place of the large orders
formerly given, purchase a ton or two at a time, and
have recourse ko every expedient to lessen consump.
titn, and to find substitutes for Whale Oil.
Rice.—Carelina Rice continues scarce, the late
prices are fully maintained ; the greeter proportion
of the late East India iruports are stated to be sold.
T.u4cco.—There hate been considerable transac-
tions in Tobacco ; the asrivats are not so extensive as
had been expected. Marylands arc a shade higher ;
