LONDON iIdRICSIS, iLiscs 31.

Cotriow.—The export bowies appear to have rather
exteueire orders for Bahia Cotton, bet .they have
only been able to °Maio about 250 bags, Which is
nearly the whole remaining stock in this market ;
prices were rather higher, 21. 00. to '2s. Old. reli.;
fined; the other purchases during the week were
ikonsiderable--small parcels of Pernambuco at
26.2 J.; fine Demerara 9.e. ; and in the housel • s
inials were sold 10fd. a 11d.; i few 121 d.; and
114fd.
;;. Allesitto—The demand for Sugar was limited last
*eft; here was tete inclination evinced to purchase
than for some thee past; there was, however, no de-
pression in the prices : very few Muscovades is the
&ands of the importers were on sale; nearly the
`whole reduced stock being held by speculators.
There was little-business doing 'this forenoon; the
prices could not be stated at any depression, yet the
*whet was exceedingly . heavy. • Few new Sugars
three on show, and the holders of Moseovades gene-
' roily (chiefly speculators) continue sanguine of main.
Sluing a high currency, owiog to the inadequate sop-
- ply.of good new Sugars, and the reports from Ja.
Sake sad from the Islands that no Sugars to any ex-
tant can be expected before the middle or end of
Vey, when they expect the present stock will be
entirely exhausted. The deliveries from the ware.
house last week were only 2,800 casks; the holi-
days are represented as the cause of the great (all.
log off in the delivery, which has lately been nearly,
4000 casks.
Theta was little business done in Refined goods
last week, on account of the holidays; purchases
could in several instances be made at prices a shade
lower : several considerable parcels of Lumps for
crushing were sold, and the trade generally antici-
pated a reviving demand for exportation, particularly
for Russia ; several vessels were reported to be enter-
ed out for Petersburgh, Itc.—Molasses were in ex-
reosive request.—There is no alteration in the prices
of foreign Sugar ; the demand continues-limited.
COME.—There have been no public, sales of
Coffee : the holders continue firm in the expectation
of high market prices; they its consequence do not
press Coffee on the market ; the greater proportion
of the reduced stock is held by speculators ; the quan-
sity in the hands of importers is reported to be very
limited.—The demand for Coffee by private contract
was rather languid during the last week, but yester-1
day and this forenoon there is some appearance of a
reviving demand.
Ott..—The arrive of three vessels from the South
Sea Fishery has occasioned a considerable depression
in the prices of Whale Oil, particularly in Southern,
which may be stated at a decline of 41. The quan.
tity reported is near 1000 tens ; a third of which 191
toted to be sold to former extensive speculators, the
remainder goes to the trade. Ci revile MI has also
r given way considerably. The Cape 0.1 lately at
"ntaiket has btteit all disposed of.—Sperm may he
purch'ased 61. a St. below the prices of Tuesday last.
Cod and Sea Oil are nearly nominal.
TOBACCO—There continues to be considerable
enquiry after Tobacco, and as the greater proportionl
of the reduced stock in London is in the hand* it
speculator/,, au advance is the prices is anticipated.
!Litt;.—'There was an extensive demand for 11,4•
t.
for Carolina particularly, owing, it was stated, to the
-duty which will recommence on the sth prosidte
Mastl week 150 casks New Carolina was put up to
RON its'ie, it was of a tery middling quality, the
prices 475. a 475. Gd. ; by private contract 48s. a 490.
top/sued to be realized.
The request for Rice yesterday and to.day has
however subsided; Carolina is reported to be sold at
464. A public sale of East India descriptions was
brought forward this forenoon, it consisted of 9.(1(x)
bags Bengal, of a very different quality, the whole
*us withdrawn; the first part ordinary 235.;
inferior description taken in, no purchasers, at 225.
Rice may to.dsy be stated exceedingly heavy.
Woor..—The demand for Wool has greatly re-1
/rived on account of the general improvement of the
trade ; there are very few parcels of Spanish Wool
at market ender ss. per lb.
lams Paovisroes, &c.—Prime Beef continues in
fair demand—There is a renewed enquiry after India
and Mess Pork.—There is little variation in Bacon.
- —The Butter market was exceedingly heavy last
week, and a considerable depression was anti-
cipated. ,
Naval. Stoats.—There was an arrival of Rough
Turpentine last week :' it was all reported to be ilia-
posed of it 19s. without any allowance—Spirits are
rather lower, and in limited request.—The late pur.
chases of Qtockholm Tar are at a small decline.—ln

Hemp has given way ; the prices are, however, little
varied.—Flit is in limited request at thelormer cur.

litluw, and the limited purchases of Yellow Candle
ate a ahade lower than en Tuesday last ; for arrival
the greater proportion of the late coutracts are about
694. (id.
Faun.—These is a very considerable demand for
Yuri!, the imports appear inadequate to the con.
sumption ; the request has been particularly for Cur-
rritai : a cargo, purchased by a wholesale house, on
arrival, been re-sold at an advanced price.
Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The demand
for Rum-for caps t, which had lately been rather ex.
tensive, has again subsided, and purchases may be
made lower. The better descriptions of Brandy be.
ing enceehlinglv scarce, folly maintaiu the late cur.
; the iiiferiorqattlities may again be stated at a
entail decline•--Getievs continues in languid request.
