LONDON MARKETS. SEPT. 29.

The markets here continue very steady, notwithstand-
ing the East India Company's declaration of 19,000
bags; and there are several buyers, if they could pur-
chase be ow the late prices; there are, however, no sel-
lers at any reduction. The accounts from Liverpool
this morning are unfavourable, that market was heavy.
SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades this week has
been steady and considerable: generally the prices can-
not be stated at any variation. The large purchases of Re-
fined have been discontinued : the sales this week have
been inconsiderable; the few purchases are chiefly good
lumps. The wholesale grocers continue to take par-
cels of fine goods for the home trade; they have pur-
chased this week on very low terms.—Molasses have
been in general and in brisk demand. There is a great
improvement in the demand for Foreign yellow Sugars,
and for good yellow Havannah 30s. was realised for
nearly 400 chests by private contract; the prices of this
particular quality may in consequence be stated 2s. a
3s. higher; yellow Brazils are also held for higher
prices.
COFFEE.—The ordinary, good, and fine ordinary
Coffees have declined 48. a ss. per cwt. daring the pre-
sent week; ordinary Jamaica may he quoted 85s. a 90s.
good ordinary 91s. a 94s.,fine ordinary 955. a Ws. Seve-
ral large parcels of St. Domingo were brought forward
this week, and for good ordinary, in bags, yesterday, no
offers were made at public sale, but we believe after-
wards a considerable proportion of the quantity brought
forward was sold at Ms. by private contract. Deme-
rara and .Berbice Coffer, being much wanted for home
consumption, have nearly supported the former prices,
anu may be stated 10*. a 12s. higher in proportion than
the other descriptions of Coffee. The Coffee market may
be quoted 4s. a ss. lower this week for Jamaica descrip-
tions, 2s. a 3s. loiver for Foreign.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—There hate
been great speculations in Brandy, and we have to quote
a further advance of 2d. a 3d. per gallon; Cognac re.
ported at 48. 3d. ; there is a great request. The vintage
in France is reported to turnout very indifferently. The
demand for Rum has been inconsiderable; there ate,
however, no sellers at any reduction in price.—Genevn
remains at the late nominal quotations.
TALLOW.—The market continues subject to great
fluctuations; early in the week 465. was currently. re-
alised fir yellow Candle Tallow ; the demand has since
become languid, the price this forenoon 555. a 565.
The Towil marketis to-day quoted 595. GI, which is
the same as last week.

Dusi.—Early on Friday morning last, a meeting
took place la a field near Portobello, between J. bl—
and J. H—, Bove after an exchange of shots, in
whith the ball df the former Dentletnao tossed' through
the latter's bat, the seconds *interfered 'sad stopped
all further riiceedings ; we hope' tbe matter will stop
here, tad 'that the Mends of the parties (the elder is
sat yit twilety years of age) will -interfere to prevent
any further consequences. - --. ' ‘'. . 1--1 I' .4. L ,
