L(NDW' AfARKETS, JUNE 17.

COTTON.—The Cotton market continues without
briskness, owing to the late ex:easive arrivals; the
sales since our last little esceed 604) packages--259
Pernambuco, chiefly for etaort, were taken at 9.5. to
2s. Cid. 45 Maranhams s,•lcl at `23d. 30 &snits
and 230 Bengals. 10d. to There appears mere
enquiry for Pernaniliticu. C ,tton, owing to the is:44i-
cal events ot that province ; the other descriptions
have been in rely limited demand. The East India
Cam; any areexpe cied to bring forward the next sale
of Cotton early in July.
iluoas.—The supply of new Sugars brought to
Market last week was inadequate to the demand ;
the few parcels offering met a ready sale at prices a
shade higher.
This forenoon the supply is more plentiful, and
afore busine”; has been done than for some time past
—some fin:: Jamaica realizrd S7s. nu variation what-
ever can be stated in the prices.
The demand for refined Sugars coutimied brisk
last week, and a consilerable disposition evinced to
contract for parcels to be ready some weeks hence.—
Idolas,es were react heavy.

have taken place : brown Bia7Of 40s amt 41s. fine

about last week's prices.
buss' Puovishhoi.—The demand for Primt Beef
and York continues steady ; the hoideis anticipate
confidently that the present plicts will be main-
tained. Bacon is still very depressed ; the demand
very limited. Ti,eie is no vat iation in ;:le prices or
in the demand fur butters. There are no arrivals
of new.

Rice.—The distressing accounts of the scarcity of
provisions in Ireland and in France, has occasioned
an animated demand for Rice ; the prices advance
with an •unprecedented rapidity ; of NM. casks of
good new Carolina offered by public sale, a small
provrtion was sold at 51s. dace then, the rise of the
corn mar key. ha: occasioned a greater biiskness in the
demand, 535. is reported to realized, and the hol-
ders we understand are now expecting to 3s.
above that price.

scriptions nearly at the same rates. Twankay sold
at prices little varied. Hyson Skins and Hysuns Id.
to V. per pound lower.
Kt ra. BMANDY, AND HoLLAlcDs.—The market is
so indifferently supplied with good parcels of Rum,
that the small quantity lately landed meets with a
ready sale at advanced prices ; there is now some
appearana of an extensive speculative demand. The
prices of Rum are intimately connected with the
Corn-market; when the prices of the latter rise so
rapidly as has lately been the case, the prices of Bri-
tish Spirits advance in an eqoal ratio ; the quality of
the Spirit and of the Beer becomes so exceedingly
bad. that it has always been calculated that both pro-
mote a mote extensive use of Rum. The latter is
also now the cheapest Spirit that can be used on the
Continent ; these considerations. and the tow prices
of Rum, have attracted the attention of the specula.
tors : very considerable purchases have already been
made. One contract on Saturday was finally con-
cluded for two thousand puncheons of Rum to arrive;
the prices, according to strength. Jamaica, 3Js, have
realized 4s. 6d. Leewatds. average proof, 2s. 11d.
Brandies are again 2.1. to 3d. per gallon higher. Ge-
neva without any variation._
