-ZONDON MARKETS, JANUARY 26

(TorYos.—"There was A considerable demand last

week for Cotton, for export chiefly : the purchases
exceed: 2400 packages ; for shipping, 300 Pernam-
buco 22id. to 23d. and 960 Bengals 7td. to 71td. a
small parcel realized Md. the other Purchases were
900 Surats for home use, 10.1. to 11 id. in the house ;
16 fine Bourbon 2s. 6.1. 60 Madras 10d. and 63 Ben-
gals 60. The Bengal Cottons mentioned were ..;old
Ben-
gals to id. per pcund-lower than the average prices of
the last East India sale.

COFFEE.—There was a public sale brought for-
ward this forenoon, it consisted of 179 casks and 48
bags Coffee, Demerara and Berbice descriptions,
chiefly middling and good middling ; the sale went
' off very heavily, about 4S. per cwt. under the last
prices realized by public sale, and about mss. lows•
than the previo& prices by private contract.
SUGAR.—There was little business done in Mus-
covades by private contract this forenoon ; as the
purchasers waited the es'ent of the public sale adver-
tised ; a few boards of good Sugars were however!
sold at the previous prices, and the general opinion
appeared favourable for Sugars, particularly on ac-
count of the very short stock at Liverpool and the
ou:ports, which it was expected would greatly in-
crease the demand for Sugars from the trade in Loa-
don. The result of the public sales tc•da; is, that
the good and fine Sugars sold fully as high as the
previous market prices, the inferior browns we.e
heavy, and fully Is. lower. There was a considerable
revival in the demand for refined go +, the request
was particularly directed to the inferior descriptions ;
Lumps were in demand at an advance of Is. to 2s.
several considerable parcels of Loaves were taken out
of the market, and generally there was an appear-
ance of a reviving trade. Molasses were heavy, and
rather lower.

Rim—The news from Jamaica respecting the
hurricane and the opening of the ports of the island
by the Governor for the free importation of every
description of provisions, had a favourable effect
upon Rice ; it is calculated that above 5000 bags
East India were in consequence purchased ; the
prices were Is. to 2s. higher. The prices and the de-
mand have since given way. This forenoon '2lOO
bag's East India Rice were brought forward by pub
lie sale, the whole of which was taken in ; several
offers were however made very nearly at the prices
at which they were withdrawn ; fine Rice, similar to
Patna, was taken in at 245. ordinary white Bengal,
dusty, 20s: 6d. and 18s.
Oits.—The prices of Oil continue to decline ;
Greenland may be stated at a further depression of
£1 to £42. Southern has declined considerably.
NAVAL STOREIL—There have been very conside-
rable arrivals of Rough Turpentine, the prices in
consequence have declined ; the last considerable
parcel disposed of realized 15s. 6d. Spirits are lower.
Stockholm Tar may be stated a shade lower. In
Pitch and Rosin no alteration,

Lust' Paovrstoss.—There is little doing in Beef
and Pork, and no variation in the prices can be
stated. A general opinion was entertained that the
extensive public sales of Butter advertised for last
week would depress the prices ; the result has how-
ever been rather favourable, and, as the greater pro-
portion of the supplies have been shipped eagerly
some time ago, on account of the high prices of Lon-
don, it is expected the imports will now be rather li-
mited ; the holders are anticipating an advance, but
there is, however, little or no business doing by pri-
vate contract.

Falnr.—The demand for Fruit continues limited,
the late prices are with difficulty obtained.
Svicas.—The prices have little varied, Pepper is
in improving demand.
MAW, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The prices of Tal-
low have little varied, the market remains heavy, and
little business doing, notwithstanding the great
de-
pressiog that has taken place. Hemp 'may be consi-
,derea about oue pound per ton lower, there is, how-
ever, more doing, and the purchases for next season,
about £34, arc reported to be very considerable.—
There is little doing in flax, the prices are a shade
lower. The letters from Sr. Petersburgh state the
Exchange at 121 d. The weather is uncommonly
mild for the season.

Miss, BRANDY, AND IrOLLANDS.---GOVeMMelit
contracted last week for .50,000 gallons Rum more
.than• advertised for ; the whole was taken at 2s. llid.
The demand this forenoon has been brisk and exten-
sive ; the contractors were purchasing, and there was
also considerable orders for shipping ; the market
may be stated fnlli•1d. per gallon higher for Lee-
wards, and 2d. per gallon advance paid on low Ja-
maica Rumi. In Brandy or Geneva no variation.

LIVERPOOL, JANUARY 23.—There has not been
quite •400 hhds. British Plantation Sugar brought
forward this weekby auction ; the good scales conti-
nuing in demand, they as well as the strong working
descriptions, went off briskly at an advance of ls. to
2s. per cwt. on last week's prices, whilst the brown
qualities remain neglected ; the sales by private con-
tract amount to about 100 lihds. Molasses and Fo-
reign Sugars continue dull. There is little inquiry
for crushed Sugars, and some purchases have been
made of good quality at 645. to 655. per cwt. for the
Mediterranean markets.--The Coffee market remains
very flat ; but the holders generally are pretty firm ;
there are, however, no.bnyers of Foreign at some
shillings below the present prices ; whilst the prices
of Plantation Coffee are in some measure supported
by the demand for home consumption, the stock of',
this description being comparatively small. Nothing
dcne in Cocoa, Piniento, or Ginger. The Rum inkr-
ket remains without alteration,' the demand limited.
—The whole of the week Cottons have been exceed-
' inoly heavy; the new Boweds have been comin on •
the market in quantity, and as the-buyers have 'held
off in expectation ola decline, plias of this descrip-
tion have given way Id. per pound ; good' fair, new
Baiteds .may be bonght at 17d. • per pound ; other
