MARKETS.

INDIGO.—The following twice of the market for indigo
and drystlteries is extracted from the circular of Messrs.
11. W. Jewesbury and Cu : We have again to repor. .en
inactive market tor tiireign and colonial produce during the
past month, and prices in some instances are lower, im-
porters having lately shown more dispositioa to meet the
views of the buyers than they did a few weeks ago, yet
transactions are chiefly confined to actual requirements ; it
is, however, fully anticipated that now the elections ars
over there will be an improved inquiry, and more business
doing. The deliveries for consumption ate very satisfac-
tory, and for several of the leading ankles continue to show
a considerable increase as compared with previous years.
Dyes and dyeing materials have been is fair demand ; the
'peculation in cochineal still continues, and prices are con-
siderably higher since our last. Fine safflower is scarce,
and wanted. Indigo is cheaper for the middling qualities.
Other articles are much as before. From the continent the
reports notice their produce market. as flat, without any
material alteration in prices. The accounts from the cotton
manufacturing districts report the markets as firmer, and
that the advanced price is now more freely paid by the
buyers, particularly fur goods suitable for the home trade.
In thewoollen districts increased sales have been male, chiefly
fur the autumn trade, which it expected to be good. Since
our report of the conclusion of indigo sales, issued on the
29th ult., we have in addition only to notice that the bought
in lots have been taken rather freely, chiefly for resale.
Our stock in the warehouses is row Z 1,015 chests, against
37,272 last year, and 29,701 in 1850. The deliveries have
heen 18,217 chests, against 13,941 last year, and 19,033 in
1810. The stock of guatimala is now 1,914 serene, against
2,213 at this same time last year. By the last accounts
from Calcutta we learn that up to date the prospects of the
young plant promised well. The quantity exported front
Ist November, 1851, to 31st of Mar, 1842, was to Great
Britain '21.,394 chests, to France 74996, to North America
1,017, to Foreign Europe and other places 2,784 ; total,
34,191 chests."

COTTON.—LivearooL, At.o. 2.—The sales of cotton
to-day are estimated at t 4,000 bales, and include 640 Fer-
al= and Maranham at od. to lid. ; 700 Egyptian at 61d.
to 91d.; and 300 Surat at 4d. to 4/d. The total imports
since Thursday are 16,000 bales. '1 he market clews with a
hardening tendency, and, compared with Friday's rates,
prices of all kinds arc extreme. The news per Canada
reports fine weather for the crops in the States. 'There is
no other news affecting the cotton market.

CATTLE.—BIGOLESWADE (flaw.) Fate, August 2.
We had but a moderate supply of Cattle, with a large at-
tendance of buyers, consequently a clearance was soon ef-
fected. Both Cattle and store Sheep experienced a consi-
derable rise in value, the former full 10 per cent. Sheep,
from 2a. to 3s. per head. ➢filch Cows and in-calf Cows were
in good demand, at previous prices. The two and three-
year old Heifers forward with calf, are cosily sold at more
money. The rig trade, although slow, may be quoted us
gradually improving. Young Horses, of all descriptions,
were bought up without delay, making high prices.

LtritarooL, At:o. 2.—We have rather a dull sale for all
kinds of stock in our market to-day; prices a good deal
lower, and a part lett unsold.

UxnaiDGE FAIR, July 31.—There was a large supply of
stock of all kinds at this fair, most of them being in the
hands of the jobbers, who are invariably willing sellers ut
small profits; consequently much business was transacted,
and many heavy purchases made, under the expectation
that there will shortly be an increase both in prices and
demand ; end, although nearly every head of stock was
sold, we cannot quote any advance upon former rates for
grazing stock of any description. There was a great num-
ber of Horses--the best sold well; inferior Horses were of-
fered at low prices, with but few buyers.
