second week of this month; white Havannah, middling to good was 34s, to 39. Brazil 34s.

Coffee. The market has been declining ever since our last report, till the demand was a little revived by favourable reports from the continental markets; but at the beginning of this week, the mails bringing the intelligence that the demand had proved only temporary, and had again subsided, the effect was immediately felt here; the holders, however, are less anxious to press sales, and the leading houses seem disposed to keep back their coffee till the prices shall advance. Towards the close of Tuesday's market, there were many inquiries for St. Domingo, and 61s. and 62s. were offered for good ordinary but there were no sellers..

Rum, Brandy, and Hollands. The

spirit market has remained in a very depressed and languid state, and the prices have been nominal. There are sellers of brandy at 2s. 104. free on board, to arrive. The first accounts of the appearance of the vines are looked for with some anxiety.

Hemp, Flax, and Tallow.-In the two first articles little has been doing to affect the prices. Tallow is now advancing; the nearest quotation for yellow candle tallow is, to-day, 34s. 9d. for new parcels here, 33s. 6d. to 34s. 6d. for old, for May delivery 35s. 6d, for July and August shipments 378.

Indigo has advanced from 1s. to 1s. 6d. per pound.

Silk-Italian raw silks are about 2s. and thrown 7s. per pound lower than before the plans of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were brought forward.
