COTTON.—The demand for Cotton at Liverpool hat been
completely suspended : no sales whatever are reported. The re-
quest for Cotton here is also very limited, but it is stated one or two

duction of id. to id. erib. We cannot however alter our quota-
tions : they are entirely nominal.
SUGAR.—The purchases of Aluscovades this week are not ex-
tensive: there is not the least venation in the prices. The Refined
market was rather languid early in the week, but today there is a
great appearance titan imprnamient. Scarcely any Lumps to he
seen : the lowest 86s. 6d. The buyers have in consequence turned
their attention to Loaves, of which there have been considerable
purchares, at prices a shade higher. Molasses are 211 e. Foreign

Rum will be definitively fixed at the reduced duty, bmilg onlyls.3d.
per gallon more than English Spirits, and that Rum may be uteri
