LONDON MARKETS, FEs..2-ta

Corrow.—Tfie purchases of Cotton last week were
very extensive,tonsistieg of nearly 17,000 packages.
The East India sale went 'off with much briskness;
the ordinary qualities of Bengal sold id. per lb.
higher; the other descriptions, and the Bourbons,
were onvaried ; the purchases were chiefly for export
and on speculation.
SUGAltS.—There was a very considerable demand for
Muscovades during the last week both forex port 'Ha
for home ronsomption; the chief prelates were
strong SJgars from 76,. to 825.: those for the scale
rate much lower in proportion than those fit for re.
fining; the prices could not be stated at any vari-
ation.
The report of the extensive deliveries from the
warehouse, last week, above 4000 casks; for seats-
rai weeks the deliveries being greater than the last
year, the favourable accounts from the country•as to
trade, and a short supply at the not-ports, occasioned
a very considerable request for Mescovadea this fore-
noon; the demand was chiefly by the wholesale
grocers, in anticipation of so extensive home trade:
the prices were generally a shade.-higher. The par-
chase, are estimated to exceed 1000 casks.
The market is still indifferently supplied with Re.
fined goods i - the prices were folly maintained, ex-
cept cro.hetl, which was purchased rather lower.—
Double Loaves have been sold in considerable par-
cels at 955. a 109.4. on board; there has also been a
tuiry for strong Lumps.

For ilavaniiah or Brazil Sugars there are camel-
derable enquiries, but few parcels offer ;Ass! week./
1376 hags Bengal Sugars were breeght forward by
public sale; the greater proportion was taken at high
prices—some ordinary yellow auld at 451.; good

COFFLE.—The demand for Coffee this creek has
commenced rather languid ; there were few purchases
by private contract yesterday ; this forenoon the
public •'sale has gone off very heavily, generally at a
reduction of Is. a 2s. per cwt. ; it consisted. of 110
casks and 407 bags; the first part Dutch Coffee,
middling, which last week realised 1081. and 109 s.
sold to-day at 1070 ; good middling, which last week
sold freely at 1124. went off beavil7. at 110 s. 6d.;
fine middling, formerly 114 s. and 115 s. sold at 11fIs.;
the Triage, and good ordinary, nee rly,supported the
late prices; 20 casks good- to fine middling. Do.
minica, were taken in at 113 s 6d.; fine ordinary
Jamaica at 1065.; the latter part of the sale went off
so heavily, and the prices offered being so low, 2s. a
3s. under the market prices of last week, occa.iuned
a very cnnsiderable proportion to be take!. in, and
generally Coffee may be considered 20, per cwt. en-
der the' late prices, and rather a heavy marker at the
decline.
IRISH PROVISION,' &E.--0-TIIP- OHIO parcels of
Pork has beer' sought for this airek,..andsurchased
with some avidity ; inicol.ber descriptions, and in Beef,
there is no varier a. Bacon continues in good
demand..---The, Butter market has not been so
brisk,. hot little depression in the prices can be
I stated ; and the opinion is rather general, that no
material decline can be expected during the season.
IssecraT OF FOREIGN , GRAIN. The aggregate
average prices. of Gain for the last six weeks, by
which the opening of the Ports foc the importation of
Foreign corn-is regulated. are--Wheat 865.; Barley
