LONDON MARKETS, FEBRUARY 3.

Corrox.—There was a considerable revival in the
demand for Cotton last week ; the purchases of Per-
nams were extensive, chiefly on speculation and for
France ; for home consumption the request was in-
considerabk. The sales since our last are neatly two
thousand packages, of which 1600 were Pernambuco
at '2s. to '2s. Id. then are now no sellers under the
latter rate ; the other purchases were a few Berbice
I 21/d. to 231 d. stained 18;1 and in bond, 100 Surats
were disposed of 14;. and 15d. and 120 Bengals at
10f,ci to 12d. The East India Company have decla-
reJ a sale of Cotton for the 6th inst.

Suoaa.-The demand for Muscovades was limi-
ted until Thursday last, when a revived inquiry took
place, both for exportation and bonne consumption ;
the demand was particularly for the new Sugars from
Demerara and Berbice, the grocers and refiners pre-
ferring the new Sugars, and the shippers paying
much attention to the tuscovades imported since
the sth of January, as the drawback on exportation
is now 30s. per cwt. in place of 275. no material im-
provement can, however, be stated in the prices, as
the importers brought forward their Sugars freely,
accepting the currency of the market. The sales on
Thursday and Friday were estimated at 2000 hhds.
There was again a brisk demand for Muscovades;
the refiners purchased considerably, but the greater
proportion of the sales were for export ; the buyers
Still confining therriselves to the Sugars newly impor-
ted ; the prices of strong and fine Sugars are a shade
higher. The sales to-day are estimated to exceed
1600 hhds.-There was a public sale of Barbadoes
Sugar brought forward this forenoon, it consisted of
166 hhds.49 tierces ; the whole went otf freely much
about the previous prices ; the fine sold Is. to 2s.
higher ; good white realized 91s. to 92.5. 6d. mid-
dling 87s. to 89s. 6d. the remainder sold about the
market price-yellow 82s. to 86s. In the refined
market there was little business doing last week ;-
the refiners were, however, firm, and would submit
to no considerable depression to facilitate sales. Mo-
lasses were steady. There is little business doing
in refined this forenoon ; the orders received by the
export houses are reported to be very extensive, but
so limited as to price that they cannot be executed.-
The accounts from the Continent are not favourable
for Refined Sugars. Molasses are rather higher this
forenoon, 345. has been realized. There have lately
been considerable enquiries after foreign Sugars ;-
hut there are few offering, as a great proportion of
the quant:ty sent formerly to this country is now ship-
ped in a direct ma finer to the Continent. Last week
82 chests Havannah were br..ught forward by public
sale, middling soft yellow reauzed 535. 6d. ordinary
51s. 6d. and 525. 6d.
Correr.-There were rather extensive public sales
of Coffee brought forward last week ; the pris s may
again be quoted at an advance of 2s. per cwt.-the
greater proportion was Dutch Coffee, and notwith-
standing the quantity of nearly the same description,
the whole went off freely-good middling, which the
previous week had sold extensively at 104 s. and 104 s.
6d. realized 106 s. and 105 s. 6d. fine middling 108 s.
and 106 s. 6d. fine ordiiiary 103 s. 6d. The Jamaica
Cope went nearly at the same advance ; ordinary
955. and 965. good 935. fine ordinary extensively at
995. 6d. ordinary Cuba 965. to 975. good 100 s. There
was a great briskness in the demand for Coffee yes-
terday, after the arrival of the Dutch Mails ; as the
reports from Holland, Hamburgh, &c. were very fa,
v,:urable, the purchases by private contract were
stated to be extensive ; the prices advanced Is. to 2s.
St. Domingo. realized 102 s. the request by private
contract continued this forenoon, though not on so
extensive a scale. The public sale advertised for to-
day attracted much attention ; it consisted of 27
casks 442 bags Dutch Coffee ;-the whole went off
freely at a further advance of 2s. on the prices of yes-
terday by private contract, and fully 4s. per cwt.
higher than the public sales of last week-good mid-
dling which last week had been sold, and extensively,
at 106 s. and 10Gs. 6d. realized 110 s. and Ills. as
the sale to-clay entirely consisted of Coffee from De-
merara and Berbice, we advance these descriptions
agreeably to the-sale' quoting the market 4s. to ss.
per cwt. higher since Tuesday last ; there have been
no purchases of the other qualities since the public
sale took place, but there is no doubt it will have the
effect of advancing the prices of other descriptions •
Jamaica, and other West India Coffees may be stated
2s. higher than on Tuesday last ; this advance was
obtained previous to the public sale of to-day ;-after
the great rise then obtained, there is no doubt Ja-
maica, and other descriptions, will be held for higher
rates ban even the advanced prices.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TaLt.ow.-The demand for
Tallow has given way, particularly for parcels here ;
for arrival the business done lately has been rather
extensive at 695. 6d. and 70s. for Flax and Hemp
there is not much enquiry ; little variation in the
prices can be stated. The letters yesterday from St.
Petersburgh mention that the Exchange had advan-
ced, it was nearly 12.

Lamm Paovistows.—There is little variation in the
prices or in the demand for Beef; new Pork continues
In short supply. Bacon is steady. Butter continues
in extensive request ; the prices are 6s. to Bs. per cwt.
higher since Tuesday last.

Ou.s.—Thereis little or no business done in Green-
land Oil ; the prices are nearly nominal. Linseed
has attracted much attention, and considerable sales
have been effected, particularly for parcels delive-
rable a month or two hence.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLANns.—The demand for
Rum continues limited ; there is still a great expec-
tation, that from the very low prices, Rum will be-
come a great article of export in the spring ; at pre-
, sent there is little doing. There is some appearance
of a revival in the demand for Brandy this morning,
but no transactions of any consequence have ret taken
plait ; the prices since Tuesday last have given way
about 3d. per gallon. Cogniac, to arrive, is offered
about 6d. per gallon under the present prices. There
is little enquiry for Hollands ; prices unvaried.
