COTTON.-There was considerable interest excited by a public sale of 650 bags of Bengal Cotton being advertised for Friday last; it was expected the prices would establish a market currency, but there were no purchasers; after a few lots bad been taken in at 103d, the whole were withdrawn: a disposition has been evinced by the holders of Bengals to effect sales at a reduction, but no contracts of consequence have yet taken place; one of the causes mentioned for the great wish to effect sales last week was, that the India Company have advertised 4,386 bales Surats, and 4.898 bales Bengals for the sale the 28th inst.; and the latter were expected to be increased to 7,400 bales. The sales of Cotton last week by private contract are exceedingly limited-110 Maranhams at 28. Od.; a few Pernams 2s. 24d.; 90 Boweds 20 d.; and about 100 Bengals at different prices, we believe a considerable proportion 11d. to 12d, in bond. week; the purchasers were attracted to the market by the great decline of the prices, being nearly 10s. per cwt. within two or three weeks, and as the winter supplies for home consuption must shortly be required, and the prices have been reduced to moderate rates, the market looked considerably better, there was more confidence amongst the holders: it ws calculated above 2,500 casks had been sold during the week: the prices were however a shade lower; brown Jamaicas being disposed of at 75s, and 768.; and strong working parcels 77s. to 79%. SUGAR.The demand for Muscovades father improved towards the close of last There was a good demand for Refined Sugars last week; the wholesale grocers were reported to be purchasing for the home supply, and several contracts were reported for spring shipments; for crushed Sugars 64s, to 68s.: stated to be realized for parcels deliverable in February sed March next; there was also a renewed request for double Loaves deliverable at nearly the same time; the refiners were in consequence asking prices a shade higher➡ Molasses were in limited request. There was a public sale of Havannah Sugar brought forward, it consisted of 333 chests, of which a half were ordinary white, but in good condition and strong Sugars, they sold at 60s. to 623.; the remainder ordinary yellow, not in good condition, sold 49s, and 50s., making a reduction in the previous nominal prices of Havannah Sugars 5, to 4s. per cwt. COFFEE.-The demand for Coffee has been very limited; three public sales were brought forward last week; the first consisted of 1000 bags Brazil-fine ordinary 91s.; good ordinary 88, and 88s. 6d. the second was an inconsiderable sale; the third rather too extensive for the present Jimited demand; the prices of British Plantation Coffee were however maintained; good ordinary Jamaica 88s. and 86s. 6d.; fine ordinary 91s.: middling 95. 6d.; fine ordinary to middling St. Lucia 949, to 96s. 6d.; 120 casks, 439 bags Foreign descriptions met with no buyers, about a half Caba Coffee; fine ordinary taken in so high as 95s.; good St. Domingo at 94s. IRISH PROVISIONS, &c. - Prime Beef continues in request, and is stated that the prices in Ireland have been progressively advancing since the commencement of the season.-Pork is still in request, and the holders anticipate that no new supplies to any extent can be expected for some time to come.-Bacon continues unvaried both in the demand and in the prices.-No variation of consequence has taken place in Butter, PUBLIC SALE OF PROVISIONS on Friday-181 bales Singed Waterford Bacon, 54s. to 58s, and and 49a, 6d, to 52s. ; a few lots, 41s. to 45s. 63.-180 sides dried Waterford Bacon, 44s, to 47s. ~CORN.-There was only a very moderate supply of Wheat in yesterday's market, and a great proportion in bad condition; fine samples, both English and Foreign, realised an advance of 4s. per quarter: the dried Russian, being in great request to mix up with the inferior new English Wheats, obtained a greater advance. A few parcels of prime new Barley realised the prices of last week, but every other description, with the exception of dry sweet Corn for grinding, were 2s. lower.-Cats realised an advance of Is. but the sales were neither brisk or extensive.-Beans of every description were 4s. and Grey Peas 2s. per quarter higher.-Rape Seed was not much in request, the prices declined 27. per last.Fine new Red Clover Seed was in great request, an advance of 5s. was readily obtained. Trefoil was 2s. higher. (except Barley) and Flour from all places, except the British Colonies in North America, from whence importation of Flour, Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Beans, will continue to be allowed, duty free. OIL.-The prices of Oil continue to decline: a considerable parcel of Southern has been sold at a low price, and the depression of the other descriptions of Oil has been very great; 541, is we believe the last realised price of Greenland.-Rape has declined 4 to 57.; the cause of the stagnation of trade, and the general decline in the prices, continues to be attributed to the very high rates to which speculation has driven the prices of Oil up to; the usual consumption has been prevented. The letters from Hull yesterday, in stating the decline of the prices in that market, observe, that there is no business doing: the trade, in place of the large orders formerly given, purchase a tun or two at a time, and have recourse to every expedient to lessen consumption, and to find substitutes for Whale Oil; it is stated to us, that the extensive speculators here have evinced a greater disposition to effect sales: we however give the latter only as the report of the market, without vouching for its accuracy. RICE. Carolina Rice continues scarce, the late prices are fully maintained; the greater proportion of the late East India imports are stated to be sold, TOBACCO.-There have been considerable transactions in Tobacco; the arrivals are not so extensive as had been expected. Marylands are a shade higher; for Cargoes 67s. and 68s. now asked. A considerable quantity of Virginias reported to be sold; good Virginias in cargoes 55s. and 66s.; Kentucky 489. to 50s. NAVAL STORES.-There are, we believe, no sales of Rough Turpentine; the parcels lately arrived remain in the importers' hands; they would, it is stated, accept of prices a shade lower than what has lately been demanded.-Spirits are little varied.— In Tar, Pitch, and Rosin there is little variation. RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.There have been very extensive transactions in Rum; on Friday it was stated that intelligence had been received that the French Government had agreed that the allied armies should be supplied from this country with Rum, being the cheapest spirit that could be procured, on account of the failure of the vintage in France; the demand for Rum became immediate and extensive. Leeward Island advanced 6d, to 9d. per gallon; Jamaica descriptions 9d. to 1s.; on Saturday and Monday there was little business done, and several parcels were disposed of at a small decline. This forenoon there has been little business done, but the holders continue sanguine that the event is true, though no official statement can be given.-Brandies continue to rise rapidly, on account of the scarcity. : 1 750 a 60 0 a FROM THE 25th of OCTOBER, TO THE 24TH OF NOVEMBER, 1817, BOTH INCLUSIVE. 2 80 0 70 0 Scotch..
