"Seek The Coffee market continued improving until
`Thursday morning, when a most animated demand
commeneed, the principal shipping houses coming
freely forward to purchase ; as * pest proportion of
the Coffee in London is held by speculators, they
watch the market, and es the demand appeared to be
by the real exporters, they took the alarm at the ex-
tent of the proposed purchases, it appearing they
could no longer keep from the market, but must fulfil
their orders at the currency of the day ; the prices
advanced with goat rapidity. -St. Dmaingo, which

sore of a revival in the demand, several purchases
being made at a late hour.
This forenoon the business done has been consider
able; the prices are 'fully maintained, and from the
appearance of the market, and the large deliveries
.amain reported from the warehouses, the holders cal-
iculate with some confidence (won a further improve-
ment both in the prices and in the demand ; the sales
to-day are estimated to exceed 1200 casks.
The demand for Molasses has been very considers.
Me. In Foreign Sugars there is little variation; the.
. market rather heavy.
CoTrotr•There has been an extensive demand
for Cotton for" exportation ; the sales are estimated
above 3500 packages, and would have been more
considerable, had not the imperfiers towards the closet
of the week asked hiihe'r. paps. The particulars
are :-1400 Pernambuco 2s. ld. to 2s. 14d., the,
greater proportion at. the latter price ; a few 2s. 114.;

during at the advance of 2s. on the line samples ;
there was scarcely any thing doing in the mitidlisig
deSeliptioliS. There was very li•ile English Barley
at market, the new was mach entui'red after, and
will set in at high prices ; the Foreign was heavy,
and scarcely supported the late currency, except a
,parcel line Malting Corn, which sold above our
former prices. Oats of fine quality were Is. higher,
but not so much briskness as last week. The wife.
srourable reports of the 13..,11 crop ocrii,iiitted the
prices to advance 4s. per qiiarter. Peas were 4s.
bigher, the same reason assigned for the advance.

stated heavy.- the demand for Tallow shire our last

ceived; they are extremely favourable. A vessel
arrived at Newcastle with 10 fish, brings intelligence
'that of four other ships, one bad 10 fish, the
'others, 7,8, 9, each; this first and early account is
very favourable, and will probitily depress the
prices of fish purchases ,of Greenland

tion. Sperm is nominal until the public sale adver-
