turns made in the week ending the 4th Jan., 18d3—ne
return. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius—no return.
Sugar, the produce of the But Indies, 31s.

Barstoz., JAN. 7.
SI/GAlL—Business was resumed here on Wednesday last,
and the few fresh parcels of West India brought forward,
have found buyers at prices fully 6d. per cwt. above thole
current previous to the recess ; the supply offering is still
extremely limited. Of Mauritius about 7000 mats have been
disposed of at full prices, and in foreign, 6,870 mats of
Manillas, of old import, have found buyers, but the exact
particulars of which have not transpired. For refiner's
produce there has been a very active demand both during
and since the holidays, and the manufacturers have been
enabled to clear off all their stocks of goods which were
ready for delivery (and which had accumulated largely), at
prices fully 6d. to IL above those obtainable a short time
since.
For Rrx, the demand has subsided, and we are without
transactions to report.

COTTON.—LtvauPoon, JAN. 7.—With very few ex- I
captions, the market price of cotton remains the same as last
week. Ensile, Egyptians, as well as other long stapled
kinds, are dull of sale, and Behias a point lower in price.
But of American descriptions, which form the great bulk of
the business, it may be said there is no change. The market,
though not strong, is steady, cotton besng abundantly
offered, but not pressed for sale; we cannot, therefore, re-
duce our quotations. Perhaps it is one of the best proofs of
the moderation of existing prices, and confidence in a conti-
nued large consumption, that holders can steadily wait
through a quiet time the large importations which are now
at hand. The present state of our cotton market, and the
existing scale of prices, is formed under the impression that
the crop of cotton is the United States will amount to three
millions of bales at the least. We still look with great in-
terest to every succeeding steamer for authentic advices on
this important subject. 1,430 American, 640 Surat, 100
ftyptian, and 60 Maranham are reported to have been
taken on speculation ; 600 Amerman, 180 Surat, 60 Madras,
and 20 Pernam fur export. The Committee of Brokers place
fair Uplands at did. ; Mobiles, 51d.; and Orleans, 6d. 'Bales
for the week, 34,900 bales.

CORN.—CHELMSFORD, Jan. 7.—The supply of red
Wheat was by no means large today; white rather more
plentiful, and all fully maintained last week's rates, and
the market closed firmly ; red, 40s. to 475. ; white, 48s. to
6.55. Barley: all malting qualities were fetching extreme
rates, and in some instances Is. more was obtained. Beans
and Peas without much change, both firm; mazagan, 30s. ;
ticks, 325. to 345.
LINCOLN, Jan. 7.—Our market. was liberally supplied
with Wheat le-nay, which was taken off at fully late rates.
A good business done in Barley, at Is. to 2s. advance. Oats
same as last week, but not much pasting in this article. I
Wheat,red,44s. to 495. ; white, 60s. to CAL Barley, grinding,
265. to 28s. ; malting, MC Oats. 225. to 225.
LITISPOOL, JAN. 7.—The weather is again boisterous
and wet. The business in Brunswick-street the last two
days has been inactive, and at the Corn Exchange this
morning, having • very slender attendance of town and
country buyers' the transactions were in mere retail quan-
tities of every article of the trade. Useful quality of red
wheat commanded the price of Tuesday, but American
white was slightly easier to purchase. American flour was
also rather lower; superfine sweet Western Canal, 275. 68. to
28s. to 28.. 6d. ; Baltimore and Philadelphia, 28s. 6d. to
295. ; and choice brands ranging from 295. to 31. per barrel.
In Indian corn very little doing. The high prices and freight
of wheat and flour from the United States per steamer
Arctic, received this week, have had little influence on this
market. There was no change in the value of oats, oatmeal,
barley, beans, or peas.
WAZEFIELD, Jan. 7.—Our supplies of grain are pretty
good, but by no means large. The Wheat trade—without
any marked buoyancy—is nevertheless very firm, and last
week's prices are fully realised. Heavy Barley is Is. per
qr. dearer, other qualities as before, but sale more free.
Oats and Shelling steady. Beans without alteration, and
the same may be said of other articles.
