COLONIAL PRODUCE.Sugars have continued in steady demand during last month, without variation in prices until towards the end, when Muscovadoes advanced from 3s. to As. at which very considerable sales have been made. If the demand continues a few days equally brisk, very few of this description will remain in the market. Refined goods are also in request, with a small improvement in price. Foreign sugars have likewise advanced. For good white Havannah, 72s. has been realised. Coffee continues in brisk and extensive demand, and prices of every description may be stated 3s. to 5s. higher since our last. Cotton. The last India sale attracted considerable attention; it consisted of 8536 bags, which were reported to be the whole remaining in the importers' hands, and the demand was in consequence extremely brisk. The shippers were the principal purchasers. Ordinary descriptions went off pd. to 14d., and middling 4d. to d. advance on the last sale prices. Other descriptions have also experienced a small advance : Current prices-Demerara and Berbice, 207d. to 2s. ltd.; Grenada and Cariacou, 20{d. to 224d. ; Surinams, 2s. to 2s. 1fd. ; Bower, 19d. to 20d. ; Pernams, 2s. 2d. ; Bengals, in the house, 10d. to 11}d. The imports of Cotton into London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, were 42,487 bags, being 8448 more than those of July 1816. Indigo. Considerable purchases continue to be made at a premium of 4d. to 6d. on last India sale. Spices without variation. Pimento, of good quality, is readily sold at 9jd. to 95d. Tobacco.—The French contracts have nearly cleared the market of the ordinary descriptions, but other qualities may be purchased a shade lower. Rum. In this article there has lately been considerable transactions, but no variation in prices. EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-Hemp, Flax, and Tallow.--The arrivals from the Baltic being inconsiderable, owing to the continued westerly winds, prices have experienced a small advance. Brandy. Owing to accounts from France of the almost certainty of a very deficient vintage, this article advanced a little in price, and may be expected to go still higher.The demand for British Manufactures continues improving. The accounts from Manchester and Leeds represent trade as now much brisker than it has been any time during the last two years, with every appearance of a steady demand. PRICES CURRENT. . C III 45 ?
