" Livenroet, Aeousr demand for Cot.
tons this week has been very limited, an' :lie market
as remit, kably inactive as it was brisk the preceding
one ; the dealers having freely supl"ied themselves
during the last fortnight : prices of all descriptions,
however, maintain the late prices pretty steadily ; la
some instances.irdeed, a ran4ll decline has hen tub.
mitted to in Boweds, but no material reduction is ep-
prehended. The sales of the week amount to abut
1800 bags."
SUGAR.—The demand for Mnscovades last week
continued very limited ; there was little variation in
the prices.
This forenoon the demand for Muscovades has
greatly revived ; the priers may again be quoted at
Is. advance : much interest has been excited as to the
probable supply to be expected this season. Tile sales
of 111useuvades this forenoon are estimated to exceed
1800 casks.

The parcels of Refined that were taken on specu-
lation some time ago, have, in some instances, bt en
again brought to market, and the supply Irctn the re-
finers being also considerable, occasoned a heavy
market last week at the decline of Is. to 2s.

' Yesterday and this forenoon the demand
conxide-
rably revived ; the prices are fully Is. higher than
last week.

In foreign Sugars there was little business done ;
purchases might be made a shade lower. At the
India House 5933 bags sold freely :it 555. to s s . Gd.
for good white with some grain ; damp at 525. mid-
dling white &naries 565. to 575. ordisary white and

TorsAcco.—There is no improvement in the de.
mend for Tobacco. the prices remain nominally the
same. The letters yesterday from Holland state two
or three very considerable contracts, but at rather
low pukes.

time past. By public sale 146 barrels Trinidad
Cocoa. a considerable proportion sold at 104 s. and
104 s. 6d. _

Rust BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.—The anticipated
Rum contract was advertised last week, 50,0(X) gal-
lons ; tie quantity is inconsiderable, yet it is very
usual to take twice the quantity advertised, it the
prices are moderate, which will no doubt be the case;
several rather extensive parcels were sold last week,
one contract for 500 puncheons low_Leewards ; spe-
culators will pay attention to Rum ; the market to-
day is, however, without btisKness. Brandy is again
3d. to 4d. per gallon higher ; the suy plies are still
insufficient Lir the demand. Geneva is improving.
Seicits.—There has been little doing in Spices :thee
the sale at the India House ; the holders are demon-
ding an advance, but it has been complied with only
in very few instances. Pimento continues to realize.
90. to 90. Good White Jamaica Ginger, by pub-
lic sale last week, realized Alt 2s. and £144.14.

limited demand.

ward about 5.100 bags on Friday ; the whole went off

Ss. per cwt.
Ons.—There has not been much business done in
Greenland Whale Oil since cur last ; the trade de-
cline purchasing at the present prices, and have
received a partial supply from the out.ports at rates
below this matkef. Sperm has greatly advanced,
being now more in use for vatious purposes.
holders of Galipoli Oil anticipate a farther conside-
rable improvement. There is little Cud, and no Seal
Oils at market ; Seed Oils are consideably lower, on
account of the decline in the pi ices of Seed, an also
the early purchasers being anxious to realize then
profits arising from the great advance.
Nene, FLAX, AND Tau.ow.—The few clays of
easterly winds brought in very considerable astivals
' from the Baltic and Nurthern Ports ; it has again
changed to the westward. The prices of Foreign
Tallow are little varied since our last ; Yellow
Candle, for parcels here 61s. and 625. for arrival 625.
and 635. The quantity of Flax at market is so very
limited that there has been a very considerable im-
provement in the demand, and in the prices. Hemp
her also been in request at an improving currency.—

that the Exchange was again improving ; it was Ili
