Corrott,-The favourable in to from Man-I
chewer given in our last is now fully confirmed
the Spinners return to their work, and the business of
the manufacturing districts is resuming its former
briskness : the Cotton market is however still heavy
and declining. The sales of Cotton since our last
little exceed $OO "bags. The particulars are--250
Pernambuco Is. 9a. to 2s. 21d. 60 Deateraras, 2s. 2d.

is the house, 161 Swats I ltd. is 13d. and 200 Ben-
eat 9d. to lid. The export houses have been
chief purchasers.
Sucaw.--This forenoon the business done in Mus-
covades is very limited, and the market must again
be stated exceedingly heavy, at a declinsof 6d. to Is.
per cwt. lower. The sales of refitted goods last week
were considerable. Molasses have been in very con-
siderable request lately about 445. but, owing to the
heavy market this forenoon, purchases may be made
a shade lower. There is no alteration in the prices of
Foreign Sugar.
Co/Fes-There were no public sales of Coffee
this forenoon ; the request by private contract con-
tinues very limited. The market may be stated ex-
ceedingly heavy ; the prices 2s. to Ss. lower than on
this day week..
Intim Paovistous.-The prime parcels of India
and Mess Beef meet a ready sale. There is little of
the prime Bacon remaining on sale. The Butter mar.
ket has been exceedingly homy t the prices may be
quoted at a considerable reduction, and the decline
does not facilitate sales ; the cause of the depression
is still ascribed to the late raias.

sold at fourteen days, no discount ; Revenue Tares
40s. 6d. and 41s.
NAv4L Sroase.---There are no sales effected of the
late arrivals of Rough Turpentine. Spirits are with-
out variation ; the market may be stated heavy. Se-
veral parcels of Archangel Tar have been sold. In
Pitch or Rosin no variation.
Outs.-Tile accounts received as to the tutees: of
Ithe Davis Straits fishery being favourable, the prices
of Whale Oil have declined considerably, and the,
market may be stated very heavy at the depression.
Southern is also considerably lower. Sperm and Cod
Oils, on account of the scarcity, continue to maintain
very high prices, and are still on the advance. Seed
Oils have given way $2 to £3. Galipoli is held for
£lO5. In the other sorts of Oils but little variation.
RAPE AND LINSEED OIL CANE.-.-The prices ad-
vance with great rapidity. A cargo of Foreign Rape
Cake was yesterday sold at £9. 10s.
Rtes.-The demand for rice has been very limited
for some time, and purchases could be made on lower
terms last week. Yesterday the accounts from the
Continent were tether favourable as to Rice, and the
principal holders continue sanguine that, from the
deficiency of the potatoe crop, the great want of ve-
getables, on a.ccontit of the extreme dry season, Rice
will become an article of very extensive consumption;
the holders in consequence will submit to no consi-
derable depression to facilitate sales. This morning
at the India House 6250 bags-the ordinary white
sold 266. and 21 s. (id. middling 275. 6d. to ‘..Ss. and
the fine white 31s. to 51s. Rd. The whole went off
Is. to 2s. under the prices of last sale.
SPICES.-The prices of Spices are little varieJ.-
Pepper still heavy and declining, on account of ex-
pcctefi arrivals.
Tonricco.--The demand for Tobacco has rather
given way ; the advanced prices are however firmly
maintained.
lieme, FLAK, AND TALLOW.-The prices of Tal-
low fluctuate in an unprecedented manner, on ac-
count of the continued extensive speculations ;-after
Tuesday the market became very heavy, the prices
. declined Is. to 2s. for parcels of Yellow Candl,... here,
sBs. ctsutd only be obtainea ; cargoes to arrive dur-
ing the season were offering at S7s. towards the close
of the week the demand became again animated, and
90s. was realized with facility for parcels here, and
for all the season 595. the holders are now asking an
advance on these prices, and from the great specula-
tioo, it is fully believed higher rates will be obtained,
yet them is no question that the consumption will be
checked by the high prices which are already rea-
lized. Hemp has also been in improving demand,,
and the prices continue to advance. Flax is also,
higher. The letters from Sr. Persburgh state, that
the Exchange was advancing ;pit was 12, and in
some instances quoted a fraction under thate rate.
TEA.---The Tea sale at the India House closed on
Friday. last. The iloheas sold 3d. per pound higher
than last sale ; the Congou. Twankay, and Hyson,

way ; there are few purchases this morning ;-the
