lic sales advertised for the same day. • '
Stromt.—The business done in Mascovades last
week was limited ; the prices of good Sugars were
fully supported; the brown descriptions were heavy
at the former currency; there were more buyers at
market than for same time previously, and an ap-
pearance of a reviving demand.
The deliveries from the warehouse continue consi-
derable, last week 2664 casks, nearly all for the borne
consumption of the country; the market this fore.
noon may again be stated heavy, yet there is an ap-
pearance of a reviving demand, particqlarly for good
and fine Sugars, which continue scarce, and the prices
may for these descriptions be stated rather higher, the
inferior browns continue pressed upon the market at
low prices.
The purchases. of Refined goods have been rather
limited, and as several parcels are pressed upon th 4
market, generally the prices may be considered lower,
particularly for money. Sales for prompt payment
are reported at very low rates. Ordinary Brown
Lumps, only fit for crushing, are reported at 965;
good grocery at 100 s ; 'fine goods remain at thefor-
mer currency, and it may be stated that the only
cause of the depression is the sales which have been
made for prompt payment.—Molasses are still heavy
and declining.
There is some revival in the request for Foreign
Sugars. Last week a public sale of Brasil descrip-
tions was brought forward, consisting of 108 chests,
chiefly of a very indifferent quality.. Soft middling
white sold 50s; ordinary 47s a 48s 6d; there were
no other descriptions in the sale: the whole reported
to be sold.

Cones.—There were no public sales of Coffee
•brought forward last week ; on the Wednesday the
request by private contract considerably revived, and
several rather extensive houses came forward to pur-
chase the parcels which were offered on very low
terms for money; this circumstance gave considera-
ble confidence to the holders of Coffee, and they in
onsejuence refused to sell at the reduced prices; to-
wards the close the segues again subsided, and par-
cels were again offered on low terms without faci-
litating sales.
The Coffee market this week has opened Tether
heavily ; yesterday and this afternoon few or no sales

aye reported ; it is, however, now evident that the
extensive holders are getting more confidence as to
Coffee, and will not press sales during the present
limited demand. . I

It ought particularly to be noticed that the great
depression of the prices in England has produced
little or no effect on the continental markets ; the ac-
counts state there was a heaviness in the sale Of
Coffee, bUt no depression bad taken place on account
of the unfavourable intelligence from London.
Tobacco.—There appeared. last week, a consider-
able revival in the demand. for Tobacco, and several.
rather considerable parcels were reported to hare'
changed hands, at low prices; there were also inqui-
ries for export. A sale of Kentucky, advertised for
Thursday,has,however, checked the reviving demand.

OILS.--The prices of oil• are again declining—
' Greenland Oil is heavy at the reduction of 11.—Sper-
maceti is considerably lower, owing io the arrival of
-some English, and also a cargo from the United
has fallen 5l a 61.—Seed Oils are
also to be purchased lower, on account of the heavy
market.

Rica —At the India House last week about 6000
bags Rice were brought forward ; the whole went off
at higher prices than had been generally anticipated ;
Bengal White sold 19: a 21r; Yellow 18: a 19s; the
fine Patna sold 32s a 353 ; the whole warranted free
of home consumption duty.
That has been little business done lately in Caro-
lina Rice; one parcel last week was reported to be
sold 43s a 445.

Titan Pnovisross.—There is little variation in
Beef and Pork since our bat.—The demand for Bat;
ter is rather increasing, particularly for the good de-
scriptions. •
