COTTON.-The fovourable reports from Liverpool and Manchester had little effect on the market last week, the greater proportion of the Bengals were taken on speculation; the sales were Bengals, ordinary to good, at 12d a 13. Pernams 25. 2d. Babias 234d. a 2s. Grenadas and Carriacon, 224. Surinams 2s. Id. Demeraras 214d, a 2s. Montserratts 18jd. Bowed: 18d. a 184d. St. Domingo at 184d. Smyrnas at 171⁄2d. SUGAR.-There was a greater disposition evinced last week to do business in Muscovadoes, and as the holders were ready to meet the views of the buyers, by submitting to a small depression, generally the prices were Is. a 2s. lower; good working Jamaica Sugars were sold at 69s. 70s, and 71s.: some brown Surinams 678.; the grocers were the principal purchasers. 174 hlids. 74 tierces Barbadoes Sugar were put up to public sale, the whole went off freely, but the prices were 2s, a 3s. lower; fine White 92s. 6d. a 95s. 6d. good 90s. a 92. ordinary and middling White from 825. a 88s. middling brown 71s. and 71. 6d. The delivery of Muscovades from the warehouses continues exceedingly extensive; and this forenoon there is a very considerable revival in the demand; more business has been done than for a considerable time past; the chief purchasers are from 70s. a 759. The prices are a shade higher. The Refined market continues to decline, the holders still incline to give way; brown Lumps were done at 100s. but the business effected in the market has been very trivial, Molasses were steady at 24s. The demand for foreign Sugars has been very limited for a length of time; 300 boxes of Havannah were attempted by public sale last week; the first lot, middling White, was withdrawn at 65s, the whole of the Whites were then taken in at the same rate. After the first let, good Brown had been taken in at 54s, the whole of the latter description were immediately withdrawn. COFFEE. This forenoon a small public sale was brought forward, consisting of British Plantation Coffee; the Jamaica descriptions in the sale went off with briskness at prices 2. a 3s, higher than last week. Extensive parcels good ordinary selling at 65s, a 65s. 6d.; fine ordinary 67s. 68s. and 69s. The Dutch Coffee is without variation, and met a languid demand, middling being taken in at 75s. 6d.; good middling at 84s. 6d. Generally the Coffee market may be stated improving, with the exception of the late supplies from the colonies of Demerara and Berbice; and for the latter, to-day 2s. a 3s. more was offered than could be realised last week; the prices, however, still rate exceedingly low. PROVISIONS, &c.-There is more business doing in the Provision market-prime Beef and Pork are on the advance. Bacon continues in steady demand, the consumption considerable: The supply of Irish Butter is very extensive, and it is stated, that parcels on the passage are offering considerably under the first cost price. HEMP, FLAX, TALLOW, &c. -The prices of tallow are without variation, the market remains heavy; Yellow Candle, in large parcels, at last prices.-In Hemp or Flax there is so little doing, that the prices are in a great measure nominal. By letters yesterday from St. Petersburgh, the Exchange had again declined; it was a shade under 10. SPICES.--There appears rather a reviving demand for Spices, but, on account of the dull state of trade, the buyers are of opinion they can purchase almost every article at an excessive low rate. The offers for good privilege Pepper were a fraction under our last quotation, but the holders were firm at and above that rate; the consequence was, very litthe business was effected. Company's Nutmegs and Cinnamon find purchasers. There has also been more inquirers after Company's Cloves. Several parcels of Jamaica and Barbadoes Ginger were brought forward by public sale last week, and met a ready sale at the late prices. Pimento, also, in very considerable parcels; the demand appears very considerable. TOBACCO.-There are considerable orders from the Continent for Tobacco, but so limited as to price, that they cannot be at present executed. Some newly arrived Brazi! Leaf was sold last week at 6d. OILS,-The prices of Greenland Whale Oil are advancing, no accounts of the success of the fisheries having been yet received. The trade purchase sparingly; South Sea may be stated 17. higher. Linseed Oil may be stated a shade lower; the prices of rape are improving in the other descriptions there is little variation. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Rum cannot be stated lower, except fine Jamaica. Two considerable contracts of fine flavoured 3ds have been effected at 2d per gallon lower than what was considered the market currency. There was a public sale this forenoon of Leeward Island Rum, bonded from April to October, 1815, proof and over, sold from 2s, 3d, a 2s. 6d, of a fair quality, but, from being landed so long, the deficiency would probably be two gallons per puncheon. Common Jamaica 3s. Id. a 3s. 2d. the whale went off freely. SILK.-The prices of East India silk are nominal, on account of the commencement of the Company's sale. NAVAL STORES.-There have been no arrivals of Rough Turpentine last week; some parcels, formerly at market, bave, however, been sold at a depression.
