and the 20th instant, state the cotton market to be rather heavy, and the prices rather lower. Sales in four weeks up to 16th March, 43,000 bags. The quantity of cotton delivered from the East India warehouses in the month of February was 6907 bags, viz.-2029 for exportation, and 4878 for home consumption. Sugar. The prices of sugar have continued to advance throughout the last month, though the demand has not been very considerable. In fact the quantity of Muscovades in the market has been very limited, and the stock is greatly reduced. The advance in price has been about 1s. each week, and the present week from 2s. to 3s. per cwt. This rise has, in some manner, tended to limit the demand; yet where purchases are made, the buyers are obliged to submit to the terms of the holders, who have become much more confident, since the late advices from the West Indies hold out the prospect of a short supply, and the probability of being much later at market than usual. With respect to refined sugars, the market has been pretty steady; but the demand for exportation received a temporary check, by the report that a new Russian Tariff was on the eve of publication, by which all refined and crushed sugars were to be excluded. No such document, however, has yet been officially issued, and the accounts from St. Petersburg of so late a date as 26th February, do not mention it. The paper published by the newspapers as the New Tariff, is, therefore, supposed not to be authentic, and the demand for refined sugars has in consequence much increased during the last week. The following is the report of the market for to-day (22d March): The prices of Muscovades since Friday last are again 1s. a 2s. per cwt. higher; the demand has been considerable, particularly early in the week, and the supply is still very limited. An advance of 2s. a 3s. took place early in the present week in low goods; since which the improvement has been firmly maintained, but there is not so much business doing in the finer descriptions; a small advance has been obtained, but there is no briskness in the refined trade. The public sale of Havannah sugars yesterday, 916 chests, sold at prices a shade lower: good white, 40s. a 42s.; middling, 35s. a 39s.; yellow, 25s. a 26s.; brown, 248. By public sale this forenoon, 225 chests damaged Havannah sugars, and 20 chests Brazil, sold at very high prices; but as they were washed, we cannot take them as a guide; if the sales could be taken as a criterion of the market, the prices are today 2s. a 3s. per cwt. higher. At the East India Company's sale on the 21st:-Bengal white, fine 37s. a 39s. ; middling to good, 33s. 6d. a 36s. 6d.; yellow, middling to fine, 25s. 6d. a 27s. 6d. : Java, grey, 28s. a 33s.; yellow, good to fine, 24s. 6d. a 278.; brown, middling to good, 20s. 6d. a 24s.: Bourbon, yellow, good to very fine, 20s. 6d. a 26s.; damp, 18s. a 21s. 6d. ; brown, ordinary to good, 17s. a 19s. 6d. ; damp, 14s. a 17s. The brown sugars sold 18. a 2s. higher than the previous prices; the other descriptions at the late currency. Average prices of Raw Sugar by Ga 34s. O d. Coffee. The coffee market has declined since our last publication. From 26th of Feb. to March 5, there were no public sales of coffee, and the demand by private contract was languid, owing to the announcement of several public sales for the ensuing week; the prices however were but a trifle lower; St. Domingo 108s. to 108s. 6d.— The public sales in the following week were too extensive for the demand; they consisted of 583 casks and 1562 bags, chiefly Foreign descriptions; all the ordinary coffee sold 2s. a 3s. lower; the coloury and finer qualities fully supported the previous prices; good middling Jamaica realized 138s. and 139s., middling Demerara 128s. and 131s, 6d. ; the other descriptions sold at the depression we have stated, fine ordinary foxy Jamaica 115s. a 116s. 6d., fine ordinary 115s. a 115s., good ordinary 111s. and 112s. ; large parcels of St. Domingo, good ordinary 106s. a 107s. 6d., fine ordinary coloury 110s. a 112s.; good ordinary Brazil 108s., fine ordinary 1118. By public sale on the 12th, 1556 bags Cheribon coffee also sold at prices 2s. a 3s. lower, good ordinary 105s. a 106s., coloury 1078., damaged 97s. a 103s. 6d.— This reduction of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. was confirmed in the sales towards the close of the week; 433 barrels 324 bags Havannah sold, ordinary 102s., good and fine ordinary 104s. a 106s. 6d.; 300 bags Brazil, good to fine ordinary 108s. 6d. a 110s., ordinary 105s. a 1078. By public sale on the 19th, 520 bags Brazil and 61 bags Jamaica coffee; the former went off heavily, again 3s. a 4s. per cwt. lower; good ordinary 106s. a 1088., ordinary 98s. a 101s.; good ordinary Jamaica 108s. a 113s. 6d., fine ordinary foxy 1178. 6d. ; the latter may be quoted 1s. a 2s. lower; the market exceeding heavy at the reduction. St. Domingo, of good quality, was sold by private contract at 105s. and the nearest quotation was 104s. a 105s. The market has since improved, and at the public sale yesterday, the 21st, 600 bags Porto Rico sold at very high prices; fine ordinary, or ordinary middling coloury, 115s. a 1188., good to fine ordinary 108s. a 112s. 6d. By public sale this forenoon, 20 casks 141 bags St. Domingo, the good quality sold readily 1048. 6d. and 105s. Generally Coffee appears to be in more demand, and some prospect of the market improving. East India Company's sale yesterday :coffee, Cheribon fine ordinary 103s. a 106s. damaged 97s. 6d. a 103s.; Sumatra ordinary 978. 6d. a 99s.; Malabar, yellow 113s. a 1248. 6d. Tea. At the tea sale which began on the 5th instant, the prices were lower than at the December sale. Bohea sold at 2s. 54d. to 2s. 6d. Congou 2s. 6d. to 3s. Id. Green teas considerably under last sale; Twankay, including the duty, 2d. per lb. lower. Spirits. There has been a brisk and extensive demand for rum. At the beginning of this month, one house purchased from 3000 to 4000 puncheons, and including this extensive operation, between 5000 and 6000 puncheons were purchased on speculation; this, of course, caused an advance in the price, though not so considerable as might have been expected. This speculation has been excited by the opinion that the intercourse between the West Indies and the United States will be re-opened. At this moment, not much is doing in rum; but the late advance is fully supported, and the holders are so very firm, that in some instances, even higher prices have been obtained. Brandy has been exceedingly heavy, and declining; no sales of Geneva have lately been reported. Oils. The prices of Greenland oil are rather lower, owing to several of the holders having evinced a determination to effect sales; it is however expected the market will improve, as the number of vessels named for fishing is 38 less than last sea son; in 1821 there were 158 vessels, and only about 120 are at present reported. Hemp, Flax, and Tallow. In hemp and flax very little has been doing. The tallow market has been in a state of complete stagnation and uncertainty, on account of the reports relative to a new duty on the importation of Russia tallow. At present, the prices of Foreign tallow are entirely nominal; since the proposal of a new tax on Foreign import has been discountenanced by government, there have been no purchases whatever; it is, indeed, reported, that a considerable parcel of yellow candle has been disposed of at 48s., but the rumour does not rest on much authority; at the same time, if sales were forced in the present stagnation of trade, it is probable no higher price could be realized. Town tallow is to-day quoted 46s. 6d., which is 3s. lower than last week. FOREIGN COMMERCE. Riga, 15th Feb. The roads having been again rendered impassable for sledges by a return of thaw, very little business is doing. Flax is still in demand, but there is a want of sellers, because the supplies, now arrive so slowly: the last prices noted, viz. Thiesenhausen and Druiania Rackitzer, 41 r. ; cut Badstub, 37 r.; and Risten Threeband, 29 r.; must be considered as merely nominal. Corn continues to be without request. Hemp has not been much in demand this week. Contracts have been made for Ukraine for the end of May, at 106 r. all the money down; and it is held at 112 r. with 10 per cent. earnest. For delivery at the end of May, and all the money down, we may note Ukraine Outshot, 87 r.; Polish ditto, 92 r.; Ukraine Pass, 78 r.; Polish ditto, 62r. Hemp Oil. On the spot for delivery at the end of May, might be had at 95 r. all the money down; but there are no purchasers. Potashes. Our stock is cleared off: 100 r. all paid, are asked for Polish crown, for future delivery. Seeds. For a long time nothing has been doing. Our stock of sowing linseed remaining from the last harvest is scarcely sufficient to supply the wants of the farmers in Livonia and Esthonia, who are obliged to procure from this place seed for sowing. Small parcels, have been sold at 9 to 10 r. per barrel. In crushing linseed, there has been nothing doing. Tobacco. Polish crown for delivery is held at 50 r. with 10 per cent. earnest. Tallow. Yellow crown is said to have been purchased for delivery at the end of May, at 126 r. all down. St. Petersburgh, 15th Feb.-We have here a great scarcity of money, and an increasing want of credit, so that any sale of merchandise is hardly to be thought of. The finest white Havannah sugars are offered at 23 r. ready money; and might probably be had at 224r. Under these circumstances, the exchanges continue to rise, and Hamburgh will probably be at 9 in a couple of post days. The Hamburgh, 9th March.-Cocoa. demand is improved. Coffee. On the whole little has been done this week, and the prices of the ordinary descriptions have rather declined; but middling and fine middling fully maintain themselves, and are chiefly in request.-Corn of all kinds is dull; wheat has lately fallen some rix dollars; other grain nominally unchanged in price; even barley, though pretty large shipments have been made to Portugal. Cochineal Notwithstanding our stock 62 is not large, this article is very dull. Dye- Tobacco. Though no extensive business is doing the prices remain steady.-Tea. We cannot say that any great purchases have taken place, yet the prices not only keep up, but green teas are even higher Haysan has been sold in public auctions from 2d. to 3d. higher.-Sugar. Hamburgh refined have again met a brisk sale this week at an advance of d. to d. and only part of the orders already received could be executed, the stock being inadequate; so that a farther rise is not improbable. Lumps, in loaves, also met a ready sale at 9d. to 9 d. according to quality, and notwithstanding several fresh supplies, are scarce in the market. There was also more inquiry for crushed lumps for exportation, but for the most part the orders given could not be executed, because the prices limited were too low, since there is nothing in the market of good middle quality under 94d. and the stock is besides small. In raw goods, large purchases are made of white and brown Brazils, the prices of which are not only firmer, but may even be noted d. to d. higher. Other descriptions remain steady. Stockholm, 2d March. We continue to ship iron without interruption. We have weather like October; dry, but very stormy. Several vessels with grain have already arrived from Scania. Ordinary bar iron is now worth 16 rix dollars banco per ship lb.; half-inch to § inch Steel, 84 to 83 rix dollars per cwt. WORKS PREPARING FOR PUBLICATION. Cœur de Lion, or The Third Crusade.
