value. COMIIIIOII sound conceit is selling at front
4id. to Is. 6d. per lb.

SUGAR.— An increased business has been transacted
in uiost raw sugars, and, in some instances, prices have
had an upward tendency. Several parcels of Havannas
have found buyers, at Ms. Gd. to 411. per cwt. Float-
ing cargoes are in improved request, at extreme rates.
Refined sugars move off slowly, at 4Rs. to 48s. 64. per
cwt. for common brown lumps. Crushed sugars support
former terms.

LLEDB, Sept. 24.—There has been a fair attendance
of buyers in the cloth-ludls this morning and a good
bulk of seasonable goods was sold. Brown cloths for
ladies' mantles are in request, so are also the better
elssiws of Meltons and some fancy fabrics. l'rices are
firm, and the condition and prospects of the trade are
satisfactory. Wools continue to rule high, and a Litt'.
more is doing by the local brokers than was tits CYO
a month ago.

MA NCHEBTER, 24th.—A better feeling has pervaded
the market generally. There are better accounts from
Hongkong and Shanghai, where, at host dates, a large
business had been dune. The Bombay &dykes also
speak of activity, and the accounts from Calcutta aro
more encouraging than thaw by the last mail. The
result has been to induce buyers to make offere more
freely, but 146 they have been unwilling to go beyond
the reduced rates of last week, their proposal's have not
led to much boldness. It is expected, however, that
when the letters arrive by the mails, of which only
telegraphic summaries are at hand, we shall have •
more active market. The business done has be,a
chiefly effected at full prices, and sellers are firm with
a disposition to higher rates than have been averaged
during the last fortnight. The India and China news
li,, had • good general effect on the market, and
buyers for the home trade and other foreign markets
have been disposed to operate with more freedom:
In yarns there has been inure inquiry for Bombay and
China. Several of our large shipping houses are
r perating for Calcutta. A little more business' iss
reported for the Mediterranean, and some busines
has been done by the home trade.
