lion of the market currency ; the purchases are, how-
ever, fully Is. lower than last week. Grenada Su-
gars 765. The sales are, however, so limited, that
no alteration can be stated in the prices ; the market
is very heavy ; the imports considerable. The deli-
veries from the warehouse continue limited fur the
reason of the year.
There was more requl.st for refined goods last
week ; one or two rather extensive parcels of crushed
Sugar were taken for immediate shipment, and as the
idiom are stated not to be working so freely, and
tort a middling supply at market, no great reduction
can be anticipated; the holders were rather firm in
their demands ; the purchases of Loaves for the
home consumption of the country were considerable.
Molasses asaxe steady.
Iu Poseiga Saga's there was no variation ;—the
prices remain•nominally the same. A parcel of mid-
dling white Brazil Sugar was reported at 576.

considerable ; the prices obtained were a shade
higher ; the hoiaera looking with confidence fur an
improvement both in the demand and in the pricer.

British Plantation Codee, chiefly Jamaica descrip.
tions ; the whole went off freely at prices Is. to SS.
higher than the last public sale, but not at higher

tract—ordinary Jamaica, a little broken, sold at 86s.

nary Dominica at 91a. middling 98s, to 995. The
demand for Coffee is evidently increasing.

'NISH PROVIiIONS.—The arrivals of new Beef last
week were upwards of 1000 tierces, but as the prices
keep high in Ireland, no material depression is ex.
pected here ; the shipping demand continues brisk,
and rather extensive. Nu new Pork is expected for
some Owe ; there is a good demand for the old.—
Bacon continues very heavy. There have been con.
siderable arrivals of skitter ; the prices are, however,
well maintained ; the lower qualities are much wasted.
Fonacco.--The purchasers anticipating
' arrivals of Tobacco, have declined buying until they
see the extent of the import ; the only sale reported ,
since our lest is a contract for a cargo of Virginia,,
550 hhds. for a port on the Continent.

rather extensive parcels have been disposed of. Hemp
and Flax have been in good request.
o“..—The extensive quantity of Oil taken by the
speculators remains chiefly in their hands ; inconsi-
derable parcels may, however, have found their way
through indirect cbanheis ; the quantity of Whale
Oil in other hands is so inconsiderable, that a farther
advance in the prices has been obtained. Rape and
Linseed have advanced £2 per tun. In other Oils
there is little variation.

Rum, BRANDI, AND HOLLAND!.—The prices of
Leeward Island Rum have again advanced Id. per
gallon. Brandy is uncommonly high ; the letters
from France this morning state a farmer advance in
the prices at Bourdevz ; the vintage this year has
been nearly destroyed, only two thousand or throe
thousand puncheons are stated in place of the usual
produce of nearly forty thousand. Spirits in Holland
also reported to be greatly advanced, which has bad
a corresponding effect here. Geneva is quoted to.
day at prices 4d. to 6d. per gallon higher.

ticularly Port.
