The particulars are 150 Minas 224d; 60 Pernams 2s. 1d. to 2s. 1d.; 40 Bahias 23d.; 130 Demerara, middling to good fair. 224 d. to 234d.; a few Surinams 2s.; 204 Boweds, ordinary to middling fair, 193d, to 20 d. a few bags 21d.; a few Surats were disposed of at 174d.; and 90 Bengals 104d. to 10 d. There were brought forward by public sale 281 bags Bengals, good fair quality, all taken in at 10d. and 104d. in bond: and 371 bags Boweds, part sold at 19d. to 194d. The East India sale is expected to consist of 8000 Bengals, 5000 Surats, and 200 bags of Bourbon Cotton. SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovades during last week continued steady, and very considerable transactions took place; the holders were so eager to effect sales, that the prices towards the close of the week rather gave way; the purchases were made much about the currency previous to the accounts being received of the gale in the West Indies. A public sale of Muscovades was brought forward on Friday, it consisted of 361 hhds; the first part of the sale, ordinary dry brown St. Lucias sold 71s, to 75s. 6d which was about 2s. under the previous market prices by private contract, but the low descriptions of brown Sugars had been particularly heavy in sale for some weeks: there was little variation in the prices of the good Muscovades which were at the sale; about 100 hhds Trinidad sold freely-low browns 72s, to 74s.; mid dling77s. and 78s.; the sale towards the close went off with much briskness; the prices higher than at the commencement. The business done in Sugar this forenoon has been very general; the purchases are to the extent of 1000 hhds. chiefly good Sugars; the prices are little varied; in one or two instances fine parcels have been disposed of at rates a shade higher. The demand for Sugars appears improving; the deliveries from the warehouse this week are rather more extensive; no further accounts are received of the hurricane in the West Indies; no vessels have arrived direct, and the general opinion is still, that the accounts by way of America are exaggerated. In the Refined market an advance of 1s. to 2s. took place, and considerable purchases were made at the improvement; the purchasers wished to secure goods at the former prices on account of the news from the West Indies, and as the supplies at market were trivial, the prices advanced: the wholesale grocers purchased considerably; Lumps and Loaves were in request for crushing and melting. In Foreign Sugars there was no business doing. IMPORT DUTY ON SUGAR.-On account of the alteration of the duty, which will take place early in January, the Sugar market will continue open this week. COFFEE.-There were no public sales of Coffee since this day week; the demand by private contract appeared rather reviv ing the request appeared to be for clean good ordinary Jamaica and for St. Domingo Coffee; the holders appear very confident of not only maintaining the present prices, but even of realising higher prices towards the spring; so generally is this opinion entertained, that the chief holders bring forward very few sales, and these very limited as to quantity. IRISH PROVISIONS, &c. - Prime parcels of Beef and Pork continue in request; it is now the general opinion, that prices will not go much lower throughout the season; very little prime new Pork has yet appeared at market. There is very little business doing in Bacon. Butter continues in brisk demand: the stock on hand is considerable, and the weather has set in severely; the present advance will probably be supported. CORN. There was a good supply of Wheat in yesterday's market; fine samples sold freely, fully supporting last week's prices; the other descriptions hung heavily on hand. In Foreign Wheat very little business was effected. Fine Barley met a very ready sale at the currency of last week; parcels fit for grinding were particularly enquired after. Damp Barley was nearly unsaleable. The supply of Oats was not extensive, yet the market was heavy, though no material alteration can be stated, Beans dry enough for shipping, were in request, and obtained rather higher price; the greater proportion of the supply at market consisted of soft parcels, which were nearly unsaleable. There was no alteration in Peas. Clover Seed was heavy at the decline of 4s, per cwt. TOBACCO.-There has been little business done in Tobacco since our last; the bolders, however, evince mach firmness, oa account of the limited stock compared with the preceding year. The quantity of Virginia is about 3000 hogsheads less than 1816. The arrivals since our last are about 550 hogsheads. FRUIT.-There is a considerable demand on account of the season of the year. Several parcels of new Turkey Fruit bave been disposed of. The arrivals of Muscatell and Lexia Raisins are also reported to have met a ready sale. NAVAL STORES.-There has been an arrival of a cargo of Rough Turpentine, which is the only parcel in first hands in the market. Spirits are unvaried. In Tar, Rosin, and Pitch, there is little alteration. : RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.The opinion entertained that Rum would be allowed in France appears entirely abandoned the market has in consequence become exceedingly heavy, and such is the eagerness among the speculators to effect sales, that although we may quote a very considerable depression in the prices, yet purchases might be effected even lower: there are, however, few sales, as the buyers siill anticipate a farther decline. Brandies, from the very short supplies, and from the firmness of the holders on account of the trivial stock, continue to advance. In Geneva there is no alteration. : OIL.-The prices of Oil are still advancing the holders were yesterday and to day asking higher rates, with every probability of obtaining them; for Greenland 607, is demanded. Cod Oil is higher; the late fire at Newfoundland having destruyed a considerable proportion of the expected supplies, " and a vessel with a considerable parcel on board baving been lost on the coast of France. Little business doing in Southern Whale Oil. Galipoli and Seed Oils are without variation, INDIGO.-There is little variation in the prices of Indigo since the sale at the India House; the market had a sudden check on account of the demand for black colours; and an advance is anticipated previous to the spring sale, which is expected to consist of only 7000 chests. ASHES.-There is a very considerable demand for Ashes and every appearance of a farther advance being obtained. HEMP, FLAX, TALLOW.-There was a great improvement in the demand for Tallow yesterday, occasioned chiefly by the very limited imports of this year, and the season being now in a great measure closed. Hemp is also in great request. FROM THE 22D of november, TO THE 22D OF DECEMBER, 1817, BOTH INCLUSIVE.
