Sugar. The market is heavy, and prices are somewhat lower: this includes Mauritius sugars. There are few sales of East-India sugars. Stocks are lower, and deliveries greater than this time last year.

Coffee.-Sales are dull, and prices seem tending to a decline. East-India appears very languid.

Cotton. This article towards the close of the month, has been more in demand; the prices are a shade higher.

Tea. The market is steady. Low Congous are in request; there is a premium of 14d. on Boheas in Congou packages.

Spices, Saltpetre, Rice, are stationary. Indigo. The first merchants' sale took place at the India House, under the new system, conforming as near as possible to the old, on the 21st July. Some discussion took place respecting the regulations at the docks, and the payment of the deposits. Mr. J. Horsley Palmer professed the readi

ness of the committee of East-India Merchants to facilitate the trade by the plan of periodical sales, which should be framed as nearly as possible on the plan of the Company. The sale is not yet completed.

The Company's sale finished on the 20th: prices were 6d. lower than the last sale. The prices at the merchants' sale were supported at the same rate (though the proprietors bought in a considerable proportion); but in the course of the sale, a disposition to sell was evinced, which led to a further fall; and prices are now 9d. to Is. under the currency of last sale.

Silk.-The market is steady, and late rise firmly maintained; but the arrival of the Sarah, the first free-trader from China, with the Company's license, with a cargo of silk, valued at £400,000, has thrown rather a damp on the market. She sailed from Canton on the 23d of March.
