LONDON MARKETS, OCT. 9.

COTTON.—The demand for Cotton for the last week
has been languid, and will probably continue so till the
conclusion of the Indian sale. It is exceedingly iuspro-
bable that any more cotton will be now put up in the
sale.

COFFk:E.—This forenoon there were two public sales.
292 casks. 226 bags; the whole went off freely, the Ja-
maica selling a shade higher than last week, and with
briskness; foreign also obtained higher prices, fine or-
dinary Porto Rico 102 s. 6d. a 1035., good ordinari97s. ;
fine ordinary llayannab 106 s. sd. good oestioary 9/14,—
Generally the coffee market may be stated firm, with the
appearance of a further improvement.
COCOA.—The reduction of the duty and the late low
prices appear to have a favourable effect on the consump-
tion of cocoa ; grocers have lately purchased Grenada
90s. a 955., Berbice 541. a 555. '1 he qualities for export
have not been in so great a demand.
RlCE.—There have been very few sales of rice since
the East India sale. There has lately been a regular
demand for parcels of Carolina by the trade; the quan-
tity of the latter at market is quite inconsiderable.
rfOßACCO.—Theonly.purchase of any consideration
is a parcel of ordinary straps at 4d. ; the sales otherwise
are confined to inconsiderable parcels to the trade for
home consumpt .
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The brisk and
extensive demand for brandy has within the last few
days considerably subsided ; 4s. 6d. was realised for a
favourite mark of cognac last week, and 4s. 4d. for infe-
rior: purchases may to-day be wade a shade lower;
there is however little (Mag.—Rums continue steady in
price, but in very limited request; the purchases by pri-
vate contract are quite inconsiderable. 'f he ;euhlic sales
of last week consisted of 200 puncheons Jamaica ' • they
sold about Id. under the previous market rates, higher
than generally anticipated. Pale Geneva is scarce, and
held for higher prices.
IN 016(1—The sale at the India House, which
commenced 2d instant, has finished. About 300 chests
of shipping and 250 chests of ordinary were bronght is
by the proprietors. Every description sold much higher
titan last sale, the fine 9d. per 1b.., good Is.; middling Is.
a Is. 3d., consuming fully Is. 3d. higher than the pre-
vious sale. Indigo continues a favourable article of
speculation.
HOPS.—The hop picking is reported to be very nnfa-
vourible, both in quality and quantity. The estimated
duty is again reduced, 170,0101/., and even 165,000/.
consequence of the reported ordinary qualities of the
picking, good parcels have become in request, and for
Bast Kent and Canterbury Ms. a 90s. asked.
IRISH PROVISIONS, &e.—There is little variation
in beef or pork ; several buyers await the arrivals of new.
Bacon is steady.—Waterford butter is 2s. lower; Dutch,
on the Quays, has realised 100 s., but that price is not
expected to he maintained when arrivals take place.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—TaIIow continues
to fluctuate ; towards the close of last week the prices
advanced to 455. 9d. and 465.: the request since has be-
come limited, and the prices have fallen fully 6d. per
cwt.—The import of Hemp is more limited then usual ;
and in consequence of the inconsiderable stock, the re.
quest cad prices continue to improve.—Flax may alio
be quoted at higher prices.
OILS, FISHERIES, &c.—Since our last, the loss of
ten sail of Davis's Straits vessels has been again reported ;
one of the ships named, has, however, arrived, and, as
very favourable intelligence has been received of the
success of the other whalers, the prices of oil have de-
clined ; Greenland offered at Hull, on Saturday. 221.•
21/. without casks; the prices here are nominal, but
nioich lower rates would he accerei ; there are sellen at
231. The estimate of the two fisheries is new about
15,000 tans oil—Seedoils are steady.
