LONDON MARKET'S. JANUARr 7.

C~rrrov.—The price of Bengal, and Surat. are a
shade lower ; the other descriptions are unvaried
tbe sales since our last are limited to 800 bags-190
remains taken at 23d. a 23Jid. lOU Maranhams 22d.
fitl Baiiias 22id. The following were sold exclusive
f duty :-300 common Surars at 110. a 12d. 150
Beogal;•1014/. a 12id. There is a limited supply of
Pernainlitici:o Cotton at market ; there are many en-
quirie, ht that description.
We beg reference to the East India Company's
declaration as the Cotton to be brought lorward
10th inst. only 2587 bales Surats. and 1530 Bengals
are vet declared ; but it is still reported in the mar-
ket, above 3000 of the latter description will be in-
triidured if they can be got ready in time for the
sale : we, however, give it only as the current ru-
mour of the day.

41 Laymooed.. JANUARY 4.—The market remains
without variation."

SUGAR.—We mentioned the loose reports in the
make' last Tuesday as to the distillation from grain
being prohibited ; that a distiller of some eminence
had been offering for Muscovades ; we believe, how-
ever, no purchases were made, and even allowing it.
to have been the case, it has in our mind no weight ;
the alarm might be taken of such an event, and an
extensive distiller misfit wish to secure his profit by
purchasing Sugars ; &distillation from grain coati.
titled, his profits were secure ; if otherwise, the rise,
in Sugars would make up for the deficiency of his es-
timated profits in the usual routine of business ; we,
for ourselves, see no probability of such an event ;
•o long ago as the 6th of November, when the Corn
Market was higher than at present, .and every day.
.tdsancing, we stated from high authority there was
no such measure in agitation ; " the distilleries
would not be stopped ;" we see no reason to alter
owr opinion ; the markets are declining. To our
SubscriSers we, however, afford every inforEation as
to this event, and if they have any regar agri-
cultural reports, of which we think very slightingly,
we beg to extract the last paragraph of the one lately
printed ; after giving an alarming statement as to
the final issue of the harvest of 1816, it thus proceeds:
A vast national loss has accrued from the gene.
ral necessity of sending the Wheats to market in such
an unfit state, and it is supposed that our chief de-
pendance in the spring, must be upon imports from
America and from the /3.11 tic."

Towards the close of last week the demand for
Muscovades gave way, and purchases were made
about Is. per cwt. lower, but the business done after
Wednesday was exceedingly limited, scarcely suf-
ficient to constitute a market currency. It is, how-
ever, to be observed, there is no probability of any
great decline in Sugars ; the prices are Ws. lower
thin last year ; the stock 9000 casks less ; the de-
mand evidently more extensive.
The sales of Muscovades this forenoon are limi-
ted ; the piices are without any variation lance the
close of last week ; our quotations are is. lower than
prices of Tuesday last.

- There was rat-her a revived demand for Refined
goods, particularly furl.rge Lumps. andior Crushed
bigars ; the shippers evinced a great dispositinn to
sec,)re goods fur spring shipments at jaws near the
rillettt ganging. Molasses are steady.
Tire stoeisid Foreign Sugars is trivial ; there has,
however. lately been a very limited drisiand ;—the
prices are nearly nominal.

CO,/E&—There was much interest excited last
week by a considerable sale being bc.rught forward,
And of the descriptions which had been,reporbid most
in dernand.by private marmot. No public sale had
takeu place for some time previously 1 there were
only 35 casks 82 bags of British Haitetion Coffee,
Almost too trivial to comatose a market currency ;
the whole west off, bowever, with briskness ;—the
prices'lsi a fls. per cwt. higher, than had been pre-
vainly realised s Triage 635. 61. good ordinary JR..
mock 75+. 6d. fine ordinary 765. 61 a 795. 6d. dark
Dutch tine ordinary 80s. two lots ordinary middling
Dutch went of exceedingly high 87s. a 87s. 6J.—
The remainder' of the sale eassisurd of 321 casks and
1482 bags Foreign Coffee ; the whole west off
freely, but without briskness, and without any ik(l.
VAllet cn the previous prices 1 tare Triage wait

hum Paovsstons. ka.—There has, bees an in-
creasing demand tot- led since our last ; the scar-
city dPork has occasioned a rapid advance ;.....our
highest quotations for both are reported to be rea.
lized. Mess nearly at the former currency. Bacon
continues depressed. and a farther decline is antici-
pated. The stock of Butter at market is very consi-
derable ; there is little appearance of a revival in the
demand ; the sale% are very trivial.
Haar, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—There is little or no
variation in these articles since out last ; the demand
has rather given way. The late letters from Peters.
burgh aid no commercial news; the Exchange was
advanctny, it was 101. and W 4.

Woot..— For .Leunesa and prime, Segovia Wool
there has been considerable f2emand during the last
three weeks, at a small advance. S.tron qualities
are a shade lower, and the demand les,ening, in cols-
sequence of the insprord condition and quAlity or
the late arrivals of Spanish Wool ; a decline is the.
price of Gilman descriptions is generally anticipated.
NAVAL Sroaes.—The late arrivals of Rough Tur-
pentine are not all sold. Spirits are rather lower ;
in Tar, Pitch, Rosin, &c. there is no variation since
one last report ; the market is heavy.
l'h: prices of Whale Oil are a shade
higher ; a small improvement has taken place At
Hull ; the quotations of Sperm are nearly nominal
on account of a sale advertised ; parcels of Cod Oil
have been odd at our quotations, which are consi-
derably lower. Linseed a shade-higher; in the other
descriptions there is ne alteration.
RUN, BANDY, AND Horzanni.—Several parcels of
Brandy have demo disposed of at our reduced quota-
tions ; the inserted prices of Rum are the rates asked
by the holders, but. the business effected has been
very trivial. Geneva may also be stated at a decline
of 2d. a 3d. per gallon.
TosAcco.—There. is no variation in flit prices or
to the demand.
