LONDON MARKT:TS, AUGUST 5.

Corrow.—The India sale on Friday attracted
great attention ; it consisted of MG bags, chiefly
Bengal:, and it was reported it was the whole of the
quantity in the importers' hands ; there was much
briskness in the demand ; the shippers were the prin-
cipal purchasers ; the ordinary descriptions went off
id. to lid. the middling at an advance of Id. to J.
on the last sale prices ; tile finer descriptions were
little varied.

The other purchases during the week are estimatedl
to exceed 1500 bags, including those by public sale :
523 bags Demerara and Berbice 20}d. to 2s. IVI.
the latter were really good Cottons, and favourite
marks; 243 Grenada and Carriacou 2041 to 224 d.
a small parcel Surinams 24. to 2s. PA. 250 Bowed%
sold at 191 to 201 173 damaged 150. to 1941 a
few Pernams at 2s. 2d. and 250 Bengal% in the home
realized 10 -td. to 1 lid.
The Imports of Cotton during last month into
London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, were 42,437 bags,
being 8418 more than during July, 1816.
Suriaa.—The demand for Muscovades last week'
became limited ; the prices could not be stated at
any variation : and it would appear that the exten-
sive importers of colonial produce are satisfied with
the present currency, and bring their goods to imme-
diate sale at the market prices, which afford a fair
remunerating rate for the planter.
Muscovades this forenoon have advanced fully
and in several instances 4s. per cwt. 'ftie purchases
of Muscovades are today estimated to exceed 4500
casks, a great proportion being sold atter the usual
hours of the market, on account of the eagerness to
secure Sugars at the present priers ; it the demand
continues, in a few d tys there will be no Muscovades
in the importers' hands.
The prices of refined goods continued steady last
week ; the put chases for the home consumption v.., re
very extensive; the market contianes indiff:rently
' supplied with goods, and contracts were made for
parcels to be ready eight or ten days her.ce. 'acre
was considerable demand for brown Lumps for the
Baltic.

The prices of Refined Sugars may be stated 2;. to
Ss. higher this forenoon. Lumps are reported to he
sold at 1101. to 11 Is. Molasses were done at 335. and
higher rates are now demanded.
Foreign Sugars were in more request, and from
the advance in the prices of the other de<criptions,
the holders are asking higher rates, but the market
appears very indifferently supplied with Havannsh
or Brazil Sugars—for good white of the former 725.
was to-day realized.
GLascow, AUGUST 2.—The letters received from
Glasgow this morning state. that very extensive tran-
sactions had taken place in Sugars ; the prices 2s: to
Ss higher ; the stock of Muscovades neatly 5000 hhds.
less than at the same season last year. Extensive
purchases of Coffee bad also been made at prices 2s.
to Ss. per cwt. higher. The sales of Cotton were
rather limited. There were some demand for Dye-
wood. Rums were heavy.
Con/ea.—The demand for Coffee continues brisk
and extensive. Since our last every description of
ordinary Jamaica and Dutch Coffee may be stated Zs.
higher, particularly the formes ; the finer qualities of
Jamaica Coffee may be stated at the advance of 4s.
to ss. The public sales since our last, including to-
days, amount to 1555 casks and 2119 bags.
This forenoon the demand was not brisk; four sales
were brought forward, nearly the whole were sold ;
in several instances the Jamaica descriptions went Is.
to :ts lower ; parcels of good middling, selling last
week at 1(10s. went at 965. but at the close of the
market the prices cannot be stated at much varia-
tion. The Dutch west off brisk and at rates a shade
higher.
Initii Paoviszows.—There can be little alteration
stated in the prices of Beef and Pork ; there is little
doing. Bacon is heavy. The late arrivals of Irish
Butter are going off at last prices.
SALTPATRIG—The prices since our last are little
varied. The East India Company have fixed the
prise at which offers are to commence at 425. It will
no doubt affect the currency of the market ; 41• s. was
yesterday realised.
INDIGO.—There continues to be considerable pur-
chases of Indigo at the premium mentioned last week,
fourpence to sixpence per pound, on the last India
sale prices.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The arrivals from
the Baltic have been inconsiderable, and from the con.
tinned westerly winds, the supplies may be short for
some time. Tallow has advanced 2s. to Ss. Hemp
and Flax are at little variation.

&gen.—There is little variation in the prices of
Spice. Pepper is fixed by the Company to be set up
at the nut sale at 9d. per lb. Pimento of a good
quality sells freely at 90. to 90.
TOBACCO.--The extensive contracts with the
French Government has tended to clear the market
of the ordinary descriptions of Tobacco; the prices
are nearly nominal inn account of the little business
lately effected ; purchases may, however, be made a
shade lower.

N.Av.+t. STonrs.—The whole of the 1500 barrels of
Turpentine mentioned in our last, were sold 14s. 6d.
to 15s. Spirits are little varied. At another public
sale, 600 barrels Stockholm Tar sold at 19s. to 19i.
Gd. 120 barrels Archangel 17s. to 17s. 6d. 360 barrels
Stockholm Pitch 10s. 6d. and 11s.

Ott,.—There were several reports fabricated last
week respecting the success cf the Whale Fishery.—
No accounts are yet received, and the rumours little
atrected the market prices. It is however to be men-
tioned, that the proprietors state, that if the Fishery
was successful, accounts would certainly have reached
some of the Northern ports : the buyers at present,
however, decline purchasing at any advance.
Ricr..—There continues to be enquiries made after
Carolina Ric', but the actual sales since our last are
very limited.

T.
nUlf, BRANDY. AND lloradurns.--There cont:nues
to be very consider.ible transactions in Rnm. The
I deliveries from the warehouse last week for export
are 649 puncheons, the prices are, however, little va-
ried ; the stock is nearly the same as last year. The
accounts from France for some time past have stated
that the vintage is very unfavourable; the prices of
Brandy have, to consequence, been rapidly advancing.
The letters this morning state that the prices Lad ad-
vanced 16 fr. the market here is in consequence rising.
In Geneva there is no alteration.
