hiderable parcels of Surats have been sold at an advance of fd, and 4d, on the last East lodia sale prices.

SUGAR.-There has been a very steady demand for sugars all the week, particularly for parcels in bond for exportation, the latter may be stated Is. higher than sugars imported previous to the 5th of January: no other alteration in Muscovades can be noticed since our last. On Tuesday a public sale of Barbadoes sugar was brought forward, it consisted of 180 casks; the whole went off freely 81s. a 94s, fully supporting the highest prices previously paid in the mar ket by private contract; fine sugars rate bigh in proportion to the inferiordescriptions.

The business done in refined sugars since our last, has not been extensive, yet the holders will not submit to any depression to facilitate sales; the stock in the market is very limited: there is no variation in the prices.-Molasses are steady.

In Foreign sugars there is no variation, This forenoon a public sale of East India descriptions was brought forward, it consisted of 1376 bags Bengal; the greater proportion was, we believe, taken in at very high prices; some yellow sugars sold 45s. n 48s. 6d.

COFFEE. The sales of coffee early in the week by private contract and public sale, went off at a further improvement of 35. per cwt.; since which the advance has been confirmed by very considerable sales; the extensive quantity brought forward yesterday, went of without the briskness observable early in the week, yet the prices were fully supported.

OILS.-The prices of oil are little varied; the demand continues langoid.-Gallipoli is again quoted lower, but the prices are nearly nominal; it would be difficult in the present state of the market to effect sales at the reduced currency.

SPICES. There is more inquiry for spices, and generally the parcels purchased at the late India sales bear a premium.

FRUIT.-There are extensive purchases. made of Denia and Valencia raisins. Our rants maintain the late prices.

TOBACCO.-The demand for tobacco continues steady.

RUN, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.There is little business doing in Leeward rum; the prices are little varied: the request for strong Jamaicas appears increasing; the prices are also improving.-Brandies have again given way, and the reduced quotations are still nearly nominal.-Very few transactions have lately taken place in Geneva.

TALLOW.-The prices of foreign tallow are ls. lower, and the market heavy at the decline; yellow candle tallow, for early arrival, sold at 71s.; for parcels to arrive during the season, 698. and 70s.-Town tallow is to-day quoted 80s. 6d. which is 1. 6d, lower than last week.

IRISH PROVISIONS, &c.-There is no material alteration in the price of beef and pork since our last.-The demand for bacon has not been so extensive.-Butter maintains very high prices; the holders anticipate a farther advance: it is however probable that the consumption will be a licile affected by the high prices.

CORN.-There was a good supply of English wheat in yesterday's market, which, with the probability of the Ports opening next week for the foreign, occasioned a very heavy market, at a small decline on the best samples; every other description was nearly unsaleable. Fine malting barley obtained an advance of 1s.: the other descriptions were heavy at the late prices: prime samples of malt supported the currency of last week, being scarce; the other descriptions were heavy and lower.-The supply of Eng lish oats were very deficient, but the proba bility of the immediate use of the foreign, caused a very heavy sale, at prices Is. lower.

Having stated the particulars of the coffee market up to the evening of Saturday, we proceed now to give the great fluctuations since. On the arrival of the foreign mails yesterday, there was an immediate and extensive demand for coffee, particularly for the foreign descriptions; St. Domingo, which had a day or two previously been sold at 103s. realized 107s.; and for fine ordinary above 108s, was asked; there were extensive purchases from 106s, to 108s. and no parcels were offering under the former rate; Havannah, with colour, was reported at 110s.; good ordinary Jamaica sold at 105s. This forenoon a public sale was brought forward, which fully confirms an advance of 3s. to 4s. per cwt. on the public sales of last week-it consisted of 74 casks 50 bags British Plantation coffee, chiefly Demerara; middling, which last week sold extensively at 110s. and 111s. realized 114s, to 115s, 6d, in very considera-hops; parcels; fine ordinary, or ordinary middling, sold at 110s. 6d.; 300 bags Brazil, of fair quality, 107s; ordinary Jamaica in today's sale realized 105s, 6d.

RICE-There is more request for Carolina rice. This forenoon a public sale of East India descriptions was brought for ward, it consisted of 1296 bags Bengals, the whole went off freely 23s. 6d. to 24s. 6d. for good quality, inferior 21s, to 22%,

New beans were in large supply, they declined 1s.; there was little demand for the old. In peas there was no variation; a great proportion of the supply at market remains unsold.

HOPS. By public sale, 51 bales foreign.. American 127, 5s. to 131, 10s, in bond; 19 bags Brunswick 51. 199. growth of 1817.

NAVAL STORES.-There are no parcels of rough turpentine in first hand on sale. An arrival was yesterday reported, but no price, we believe, has yet been fixed upon. Spirits are without variation.-Tar is a shade lower.-In pitch or rosin there is no alteration.
