Our StIRE MARKET has been much depressed:ol
week, and there have been heavy sales by speculators
in anticipation of unfavourable reports from the load-
ing companies. The divisions in the ministry, ttoo,
have had 'something to e° with the .tleeline. At the
settlement now •in progress, from the 'public taking
morelargely of Stock than was expected, it has: }roved
scarce, especially:Lancashire and Yorkshire and Mid-
land, the cantangoes upon which have dwialdled
materially since the' 'opening of the settlement. The
market this evenip., closes. with a drooping. tendency ;
the .prices of the (1;y are—Caledonians, 31*; Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire,,Sli 2c.'2 11; Liverpool,: Crosby,.

COTTON.—TIie market has been altogether without
'animation, owinglo the dulness which col inues to
'prevail at Manchester ; but, as it is.not at- arl likely
that the present.' hort supply \will be materially ex-
ceeded, holders .are firm, and there is very little
difference in pfices. The sales for the meek, up to
"-Friday, amounted to only 28,200 bales, of .which 3,920
were taken on speculation, and X2O for export, leaving
.23,460 for the trade. •To-nA.Y,qhe sales were 7,000
.bales, including 1;000 for specblation and export. The
`:following is a comparison of present rates with those
of the corresponding period last• year :

PRODUCE.—Sugar .has been in fhir..demand at ad-
vancing prices. Coffee without alteration. In Ten
little doing. Rice very dull. TO-DAY, there is no
. change to notice in Sugar, the demand for refining
descriptions still continuing steady, at firm rates ; in-
•eluding Saturday's business, the sales comprise a small
parcel of Jamaica at 365. 6d. to 385., 100 barrels
Demerara at 365., 1400 mats Mauritius from 335. 3d.
to 365. 3d., and a few cases .of Bahia at 235. per cwt.
in, bond. No sales have transpired in Molasses, and
only a small parcel of Jamaica Bum reported at previous
prices. 150 bags Laguara-Coffee have found buyers
at 555, and 70 bags unwashedtio at 445. to 465. per cwt.
The business in Tea has been,limited to a few breaks of
fine green, of indirect import,, at about former prices.
.The sales in Rice are confined t> 650 bags Bengal,
part by auction, with all faults, at 15s. 6d. for sound,
and 14s. 3d. per cwt. for Ist class damaged. -100 bags
Saltpetre have realised 325. for 22,per cent. refraction

tion, this morning, 50 tons Barwood brought LA, a
small parcel efJanlaica Logwood E 4 17s. 6d. for souil,
and 170 tons :Pestle £5 12s. 6.1. to £5 15s. per ton.
WoOL.—There has been. large business doing this
week, considering the limited stocks of Wool now
offering in the market; and anything in good, clean,
useful descriptions, such as Turkey, Smyrna, Peruvian,
Oporto, Mogadore, &c., have been m good request, and
considerable sales have been made at very firm prices.
More attention has also been turned to Donskoi fleece,
the relative low rates ruling for these Wools having
induced a speculative .demand, and the market has
been pretty well cleared of what is attainable at our
quotations, viz., at 8-id. The public sales in London
commenced on the sth inst., and are progressing very
:steadily at an average advance of 2d. to ld. per lb. on
Colonial Wool; 70,000 bales will be sold this series,
and the general opinion seems to be that the present
advance will be supported throughout. The imports
for the week are 6,096 bales, consisting of 2,308 bales
Mediterranean ; 2,586 bales Peruvian ; 433 bales
Buenos Ayres ; 256 bales East India ; 136 bales Por-
tugal ; 255 hales Scotch : 65 bales coastwise; 57 bales
Irish; total, 6,096 bales.
