MARKETS.

SUGAR.—BnIsrm., Arc rsr tt.—The raw sugar market
i is marked by considerable diluent, and were importers
press sales é decline would have to be submitted to. The,
appear, however, indifferent about males, unless at the fa
current rates. Most. of the purchases made have bes,
Barbedoes, on account of refiners. No sales of dOating
cargoes are reported. Refined goods are the turn in
favour of the buyer. Foreign loaf is steady. Treacle,
.12s. 3d. to La. per owt. Rums are quiet at late rates.

COTTON.—Lrezaroor., Auousr 23.—The import of
cotton has been unusually large during the last few duo,
and in expectation of an increased supply upon the market
buyers have taken a comparatively limited amount
throughout the week, prices closing generally below the
quotations of last Thursday. Sea Island is in limited re,
quest, and slightly easier in value. The quotations of
American are reduced id. to id. per lb. in the common arid
middling qualities ; the better aorta remain unchanged.
The late improved demand for Braid has subsided, and with
an increasing desire to sell prices are very irregular, at a
decline of id. per lb. in Naranbam, sad id. per lb. in other
descriptions. Egyptisa continues very irregular in price,
and heavy of sale, at id. per lb. decline. Smyrna is gill
neglected, and has fallen id. per lb. liminess in L,,,t
ladle has been considerably checked by the large supply,
and prices are d. to id. lower in most instances. hiw(u.
!store have taken during the week 1,160 bales ; expoiten,
20,050 bales ; and the trade 38,130 bales. We have had
fair demand to-day and a quiet market, prices unchanged.
The sales are 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 are for export
and speculation. The following are the official quota
lions :—Fair Orleans 13d. ; middling, 11d. Fair Mobile,

COTTON 000Df3.—Idescismereft, Aunt's? 11.—re
have again to report a very unsatisfactory market iu
shipping yarns to-day. There is an absence of liei•
nese for all markets, and to effect sales spinners ski
agents would have to make a concession of ?d per lb. on
the rates of last Friday. The market has been inactive
and depressed all the week. So long as the Liverpool
cotton market continued steady sellers of yarns anceeeded
in maintaining their rates with difficulty, but the delis
in the raw material seems to bare precipitated the fall ei
prices, and they have given way with unexpected rapidity.
In home trade yarns we have also had a very flat market
to-day, at 41 per lb. decline, and there is nearly a total
absence of business. The cloth market has been extra.
ordinarily dull since Tuesday, and not only
business been inactive, but prices have alum
further weakness. Buyers have been very cautious, sad
restricted in their operations, especially for goods suited to
the markets of India. Such Wiese as they do make we
made at lower prices than they have yet been able to do
business at, and are leading to few sales. To-clay we barn
• market quite as dull and inactive as any we have had
during the week. To some extent perhaps the cloth
market is a little firmer than that for yarn. Standar.
turera have made no change in their selling quotation%
shine Tuesday, and though with some of them easier
terms might be made under special circumstances, and for
large quantities, they are unwilling to make an alteration
so considerable as that quoted in pal). The disappearance
from Manchester of two Levantine Jews, who have been
operating here as D. Rodetti and Co. and L Gatipob
and Co., has precipitated some unpleasant disclosure,.
These parties had purchased goods in Manchester, Brad.
ford, Leeds, Halifax, and Nottingham, in cotton cloth.
linen, woollen, and lace to large amount., and are
supposed to have left debts owing to the sweet:
of something like 80,0001. in these various centres of
nutacturing industry. From two houses in the cowl
trade here they obtained goods to the amount of n,uto..
each. At one of them, manufacturers and commission
agents, they were requested to show they had mut
before they were trusted, and by way of meeting the re-
quest they professed to telegraph to Paris, producing OM
after what purported to be a telegram from a highly r, •
apectable banking house in Perim, which vouchNl for their
high respectability, and said they were authorised to ma.,
purchases on behalf of the French government. Thiy
have obtained goods, it is said in Manchester alone, to t
amount of 30,000/. or 40,000 f. The letters and etatemer I
by which they obtained credit are said to have been exce,'•
ingly plausible.

WAKEPTELD, Avower Z3.—The weather bi brilliant. sal
should it continue the harvest in Yorkshire will, we m-
ourns, be pretty general nest week. In the anticipation
that new wheats will ran down soot @billings, and which,
under favoured circumstances is a reasonable assumption,
our millers remain very careless, and only purchase for
their daily requirements ; the few cotchells of old qn.dity
remaining on our market are held firmly for late rah*.
