lity ; and JO a Sid. for fair to good S. R.; ordi-
nary de,crietions have also Leen much enquired after

bags Bourbon Cotton.

LIV.ERPOOL, JAN. 9, 1819.-1 here has been less
•demand for most descriptions of Cotton this week ;
and Boweds have fallen about id.. per lb. owing in
part to the accounts from Charleston, which state the
prices there to be rather giving way. Surats and
Bengals,. however, have continued in good demand,
and at the sale yesterday prices of Surat, we: c nearly
supported ; there were sold 838 bales Swats at 9,1,:i
to Ilid. for fair to good fair quality. There were
sold at the same time, 226 Orleans, which went off
pretty steadily, though rather lower,-at 184 s. to 1945.
for fair to good fair; 1150 Carthagenas at 15d. to
150 d. being a decline of.ld. from the previous nomi-
nal prices; 116 Cuba at 160 d. to 17 Ad. ; 310 Deme-
raral at 190 d. to 210 d. The sales by private con-
tract have been-600 Boweds at 17d. to 18d. for in-
ferior to fair, 181 d. a 190 d. for good fair to very good,
and a few bags prime at 20d.; 300 Orleans 1741 a

an 15 West India 17d.
SUGAR.-Towards the close of last week the re-
quest fot Muscovades gave way considerably ; the
holders, however, would submit to no depression in
the prices; the market might in consequence be
stated heavy at the previous currency.
This forenoon the demand for Muscovades cons

tinues limited, scarcely any sales have been effected ;
the market may be stated exceedingly heavy, and a
shade lower than last week. A public sale of Bar-
badoes Sugar was brought forward, it consisted of
167 hhds. 36 tierces Sugar.; the whole went off stea-
dily a shade under the prices of the last public sale-1
fine white realized 945. 6d.; good Ws. and 925. 6d.;
the ordinary qualities, 83s. a 84s. went off lower in
proportion than the finer descriptions.
The enquiries after Refined goods encreased consi-
derably last week ; the demand was chiefly for Lumps
for crushing and packing, in anticipation of the
Spring shipments ; one or two parcels were pm-
chased43n. rather lower terms, but generally the Re-
finers are holding for higher prices. Lumps parti-
cularly are• low in proportion to raw Sugars.
In Foreign Sugars there was no business doing ;
one or-Isdo orders were reported for shipping, but tGz
offers were made much under the present nominal
quotations ; there was in consequence no business
effected.

COFFEE.—The public sales of Coffee brought fin--
ward last week were considerable; they consisted of
1754 casks and 1615 bags; the whole went off heavily
—Jamaica Coffee at the depression of about 2s.
Demerara and Berbice at the decline of ;is. a ss. per
cwt.—good ordinary Jamaica sold at 138 s. 6d.; fine
ordinary 1125.; middling 1485.; good middling
1535. ; fine 161 s. 6d. ; good middling Demerara and
Berbice, extensively at 1535. which had a few clan
previously.reahzed 15Ss. the lower qualities in the
same proportion-250 bags good quality Brazil, all
taken in at 1445. and 1155.; 143 casks and 279 bags
fair quality St. Domingo, chiefly taken in at 1455. a
1465.; a few lots-sold at 1455. 6d.; the heaviness at
the public' sales prevented any purchases by private
contract towards the close of the week. The market
might be stated heavy.—This forenoon there was
no public sales, and we believe there have been no
purchases by private contract. ,
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The prices of Tal-
low' have greatly declined since our last ; Yellow
Candle was sold at all prices last week, from 735.
down to 735. since then a further depression has been
submitted to, but the holders today 'are rather firm
4 735.. The prices of Tallow have no doubt been
kept up exceedingly high by speculation, yet the
very great denessron that has taken place, will pro-
bably, at no distant period, induce the regular and
extensive Russia houses to come forward, in antici-
pation of an improving market, as the speculators
lately have not been houses regularly in the trade.
Hemp and 'Flax are heavy sale. -
Bore, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The prices of
Rum are entirely nominal ; no business has lately
been effected, In the present languid state of the
market, former prices of Brandy and Geneva could
with difficulty be obtained.
him Pnovisroxs, &c.—The new Beef meets a
readdy:sale at former prices ; the old, unless of a
,bright colour, is rejected.—Pork steady ; few parcels
of any extent yet arrived. On account of the very
open season, it is difficult to give correct quotations
of Butter ; the holders, however, accept prices consi-
derably lower..
TosAcco...The quotations of Tobacco are entirely
nominal ; in the present depressed state of the mar-
ket, the present currency could not be obtained :
the stock has lately accumulated greatly, and much
exceeds the quantity in the warehouses for a series of
years past.
PRICE or Bt i10x..-I.:Thp only prices quoted yes-
terday, were those of new Dollars, and Silver, in bars,
Both at ss. sid.
