This forenoon the public sale consisted of 145 casks 353 bags British Plantation Coffee, chiefly Dutch: the whole went off freely, but without briskness, the prices were a shade lower-middling to good middling sold extensively 145s. a 146; ordinary Jamaica 1288. The Coffee market may be stated lower for small parcels of ordinary Coffee, but where extensive lots of one good description are brought forward (being the qualities always sought for by speculators), the whole have sold readily at higher prices than obtained for small lots of Coffee. COTTON.-The India Company, contrary to general expectation, have declared a sale of Cotton for the 27th instant; about 1500 bags Surats are specified, and it is understood that quantity will not be increased, as the 14th January is the day fixed for an extensive sale both of Surat and Bengal Cottons. The sales since our last are entirely to export houses. The purchases are about 900 bags: viz. 350 Pernambuco 2s. a 2s. Id. chiefly at the former price: 120 Maranhams 22d, a 224d. ; 60 Parans 214d.; 120 Surats 1d. a 14d.; and 200 Bengals 8d. a 91d.; the two latter sold in bond, IRISH PROVISIONS, &c.-There is little variation in the prices or in the demand for Beef and Pork. Notwithstanding the mild weather, the prices of Butter are supported; the market is however heavy, RUM. BRANDY, and HOLLANDS. — The public sale noticed in our Publication of Wednesday last, has greatly improved the market; previous to the sale taking place, several holders were alarmed at the state of the market, and it was mentioned had sold at very reduced rates. The public sale went off however much higher than was expected, and established a market currency; since which both the demand and the prices are improving. This forenoon a public sale of Brandy was brought forward, it consisted of 30 puncheons of Cogniac Brandy, shipped per Otard and Co. hewly landed; the quality good, but rather cloudy, sold in lots of one puncheon each, at 5s. 8d. a 5s. 10d. per gallon. Geneva is without any variation. TOBACCO.-The quotations of Tobacco are entirely nominal; the arrivals continue extensive. SPICES.-There has been little business done in Spices since the sale at the India House; a few parcels of Cinnamon have been sold at an advance of ld, and 2d. per lb. NOVEMBER 24. COTTON.-The Cotton market continues in a very depressed state. On the 14th of January it is understood there will be a large sale of Bengal and Surat descriptions at the India House. The request has been entirely confined to parcels for exportation; the sales amount to 16000 bags at very re duced prices. The particulars are-900 Pernambuco 23d. a 2s. ; 30 Maranhams 22d.; 100 Minas 201d.; and in the house, 80 Surats 11d, and lid.; and 500 Bengals 7d a 9d. SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovades continued very steady last week, and the good descriptions of Sugar from 78s. a 81s. might be stated at an advance of 1s, per cwt. This forenoon a'public sale of Barbadoes Sugar was brought forward, it consisted of 168 hhds, and 12 tierces went off with much briskness, at nearly the advance of the Sugar market; from 1s. to 2s higher than the last public sale-good white 92s. 6d. a 93s. 6d. ; middling 88s, a 89s. 6d. ; yellow 80s. 6d. The inquiries after Refined goods considerably increased last week, but the holders were not anxious to press sales, as a very general opinion is now entertained that the market will improve.-Molasses have been in limited demand, and are to-day to be purchased under our quotations. COFFEE.-The quantity of Coffee brought forward last week was very extensive for the season of the year. Thursday, the last public sale of the week, the request should not only be continued, but an advance of 2s a 3s, realised; several parcels sold 4s. higher, but the improvement was not genenerally so great. It is now understood that the quantity of Coffee in the importers' hands is very limited, and that few public sales will be brought forward this year; under these circumstances, the holders of Coffee continue to have much confidence of an improvement both in the demand and in the prices. TOBACCO.-There have not, we be lieve, been any sales of Tobacco since our last; the prices quoted are entirely nominal. The arrivals continue; the stock has in consequence accumulated considerably. SPICES.-The demand for Cinnamon continues considerable, and an advance of 3d, a 4d. per lb. on the India House prices has been realised.-Nutmegs Id. a 2d. per lb. higher. In other articles there is little variation. Pepper continues to decline. RICE.-There has been very little doing in Rice by private contract for some time past.
