MARKETS.

[From the London New Price Cstrrent.l
Tv , Aram 11.
COTTON.—The unfavourable reports received from the manufactsuing
districts last week, and the time fur export to France having expired, the
Cotton market became exceedingly heavy, and the buyers would nut pur-
chase, except at a considerable reduction In the prices ; and as the holders
evinced no disposition to give way, the sales were inconsiderable. Yes-
terday the only sale was lett bags Egyptian Cotton, at Yid. To-day there
are some Inquiries for expose to Holland.
COFFEE.—The Coffee market last week became ♦ery henry. Deme-
rara and Berblce sold at 2s. si 3s. lower. The Jamaica descriptions were
very hairy, and ordinary sit„ Domingo sold at 40..6d. and Sis.6d. There
were no public or private sales of Coffee to-day. Sc. Domingo nominally
Sls. a S2s.; no business.
SUGAR.—The Sugar market towards the close of last week became
very heavy ; the good and tine supported the late quotations, but the low
browns were unsaleable, except at a considerable redaction. The deli-
eerier are again favourable for the market, about 1,800 casks more than
the corresponding week of last year, and the stock only an excess of SOO
Basks ; yet such I, the general stsgnatlun of trade, that few purchases of
Muscuvades to-day were reported. We estimate the sales at 600 blots. ;
the good and line at previous prices ; the brown Is. a 2a. lower; low
brown forced oil at 50s. The quotation Is, however, Jamaica brown 82a,
others Ala., St. Lucia SOs. The Relined trade was In ■ very depressed
state last week. The prices of Lumps, from the scarcity, was No. ; but
the one goods could be purchased on lower terms. Molasses were 275.
Several considerable contracts for crushed were reported, The accounts
from the Manse towns to-day are very unfavourable for Retitled Sugar;
the market is in consequence heavy ; yet Lumps remain at Ids. on ac-
count of the scarcity. The wholesale grocers pre purchasing tine goods
fur home consumption, on a very limited scale, and generally at lower
prices. Molasses are heavy at 275., and some business reported at 265. 6d.
In Foreign Sugars no purchases were reported. The Mud India Sugar
lately at public sale went oil in small parcels at a small advance.

quiries, and a trilling timidness has already been reported.
