LONDDN MARKETS, FEBRUARY is.

Corros.--The sales since our last are very limited,
owing to the decline in the prices of the country my.
kets s no depression WAS submitted to he*, and by
the letters of yesterday, there appears to be A very
extensive demand for the minufactioring district;
the purchases here are limited to a few Lot Indio
descriptions: small parcels of Pernams at 2s Oti
Bahia' 230 ; Surinam: 230 ;2s Otl. The Per.
nambuco Cotton newly landed is of a very goad
quality. The East India Company have declared
for sale 7th proximo, above 5.500 biles Bengali', and
-the general ni inion in the market is, Out the guar..
tity %vial be: increased to nearly 8,0(X) hies.

.
At a public sale this forenoon, 81 bags Demerara
Cotton, found no purchasers; the whole withdraw:
at 19,1
SUGAR.—The business effected in Muscovadoe;
last week was limited ; the holders evinced some
anxiety to effect sales; the consequence was, the
pikes declined about Is ; good Jam sicas 70s and 71s;
and sorr.e parcels in second hands reported to have
been forced off exceedingly low ; brown Jatnaicas we
believe at 665. •This forenoon the sales conerse
'knifed ; a very considerable parcel of middling
Jamaica is rephrteJ sold at 675, but the market
generally is not gteatly depre.sed, and it is to be
obscried, that the occasion of the late decline is the
quantity of Sugar, in the hands of sprculators that
have been forced upon the market at whatever price
could be obtained, and that the greater proportion of
Muscovadoes thus held are now disposed of.
There has been considerable briskness in the Re-
fined market; the Spring export dematd, or the an-
ticipation of that event, occasioned extensive pur-
chases last week, and yesterday the sale. to a consi.
derable extent were again renewed; to induce the
purchasers to come forward, the trade submitted to a
small decline, but so considerable has bten the re•
quest fur Lumps, both- large and small, that the
prices this forenoon may be quoted a shade higher.—
Loaves of every description are in request at our quo-
taiions i the quantity of Refined at market is not ex.
'tensive, and mot at all adequate to an usual Spring
demand.—Molasses continue heavy.—ln Foreign
Sugars there has been but little business elected,
tho' the inquiries after them bare been considerable.
Coreust.—There were no public sales of Wtst In.
dia Coffee during last week. The advance of the
prices, however, yesterday at the India Hour hcla
1
out the probability of the immediate revival of tbc
market.

Ru►r, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The demaed
for Rum-continues exceedingly languid. The prices
are nearly numin.A.—Brandy aid Geneva are a:-
varied.

Tottacoo.—The quatity of Tobacco contracted

Hogsheads, 800 Serons, and 365 Bales, is to be de-
livered at the described French Ports : all dtatlts xri
charges paid. Since the particulars of this ex en,ir
oontract transpired, the holders have been alkir.;
prices from Id to d per lb. higher.
Ham FLAX, and Tat. Low. —There is little vari2.
tion : the market remains very heavy. There net
in muct briskness in the demand for Taliow ; the
