COTTON.-The sale at the India House on Friday was well
attended by buyers of all classes, under the impression that greatly
'reduced prices would be submitted to by the holders; but pre.
viously to the sale nearly the whole of the Surat* were withdrawn.
The few that were sold were of ordinary quality, and went at a
considerable reduction from the late prices ; the Madras sold vary
swell; and the Company's Bengals, put up at sd. per lb., wei.t
off with great spirit. chiefly from 60. a Gad. per lb., the previoTt
nominal value having been about 7d. Some few were purchased
for home consumption, but chiefly for exportation, and by apecu.
Lams ; the latter would have taken largely at or under 6d., and of
the Sursts in proportion, had they been sold. At a late hour to-
day there was a great renewal in the demand for Cotton for export.
LivEaroot, JULY 30.-The business in our Cotton market
was almost, suspended after the declaration on Tuesday of some
some heavy public sales to be brought forward yeaterday,consisting
chiefly of American Cotton. These sales excited an unusual, de.
gree of interest, and were numerously attended by the dealers aral
spinners ; and as the holders were disposed to tneet the den: anal
freely, they went off with animation, at a decigOtt froM ourlas
week's quotations of Id. a 14d. per lb,
COFFEE.-The Coffee sales last week went-off steadily mita,
proving prices. By private contract there were considerable pur.•
chasm; buyers of St. Domingo at 625. and Brazil at 635. a 645..

prices. flood middling Jamaica, 969.; good ordinary, 655.;.(4..
denary; 605.; middling Dominica, 82s. a 86s. By private con.
tract there is considerable business doing: yesterday 700 bags St.
; Domingo at 625., and at a late hour to.day 600 and 000 bip at the
same price.
,SUGAR.-The demand for Illuscovades last week was general
and extensive ; as the supplies came to market, they were taken
immediately by the extensive and regular buyers, who are now
convinced Of the deficiency of the crop of Sugar • at the close of
each day the common report was, that the whole of the samples on ,
show were taken : the market cleared : we estimate the sales above
60001thds. at an advance of Is. a Is. 61. per cwt. There were great
indications this morning of a brisk Sugar market. Several bouts
before the usual time of the commencement of business, the show
rooms of the brokers were taken possession of by the buyers, who
waited with patience for the opening of the market, and for the pr.
I.vilege of taking all the Sugars on sale at the opening prices : this
was so general, that the holden immediately put an advance on all
Itheir Sugars of ls. a :at. on the currency of kriday thegreater pro.
Vortion of the buyers withdrew without purchasing; as the day
Fadvanced, however, the request again commenced, and 1300:thee.
were sold at an improvement of Is. since Friday, and 2s. per cwt.
, since this day week ; Jamaica Sugars Gds. a 80s. ; others Os. a 7th.

to purchaae extensively, particularly fine goods for home consump.
Ition ; the holders woold not sell, except at an advance of 2s. ft
Fridav's prices, and for low lumps 90s. was asked ; for Mohnen
' 325. .;the advance asked prevented business ; otherwise, we haven's
doubt, the market would have been well cleared. At a late bane
to.day a large parcel of low lumps sold at 89s. Molasses 325. and

much higher rates.

II E P,. FLAX, and TALLOW.—The speculators who to.
been anxiously watching the market for some tintepast, have within
the last two or three days come forward to purchase extensively, on
account of the continuance of the excessive drought ; the prices o'
Tallow have in consequence advanced from 365. to 375. Gd. ; tr
day the quotation is 375. 6d. a 385., and for late delivery, 314. 6
a 39,. In Deny or Flax there is little variation. At a I
hour to-day the Tallow market became heavy, on account of
commencement of rains ; 375. the nearest price.
TOBACCO—The Ministers having omitted to renew the
beceo War Duty Bill, has occasioned much interest in the markt.
the duty is now 3s. per lb. in place of 3s. per lb. ; the Custom-house
officers will not &min the low duty, but there is no doubt of th'
fact. and the order from the Treasury is hourly looked for ; this
cumstance has brought the trade forward, and they are getting
stock ; and though the purchases are not extensive, yet thtre
general demand at very lull prices; no Virginias offer under St
and for tine strips I'd. is asked. At a late hour to-day a cargo
Maryland Tobacco was reported to be sold.
