Pennons, Itlfd. ; Bowed*, ltd. a 01d.--all in bond.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 11.-The demand for cotton Dominoes

l
Sugar market via; languid during the lam
week, and the holders of inferior brown descriptions, alas eat
anxious to effect sales, submitted to a further reduction of 61. a Is.
per cwt.; the middling qualities were alsu a shade lower; the good
and fine fully supported the previous currency. The Sugar market
this forenoon remained in the same languid state which we hare
lately noticed; there is, however, nu reduction in the prices, except
for middling and brown Sugar., which are purchased at snag
lower rates. In Refined Goods, towards the close of last seek,
there was rather more business doing, particularly lumps Itc
crushing and fur packing. Fine goods were offered on very kw
terms, without facilitating sales.-Molasses were 235. 6.1. Them
are still considerable inquiries fur low goods this morning, and co
Lumps offer under 765. 6d.; in the oilier qualities tew purchases
are reported ; tine goods are again offered on very low tern's, with„
out Inducing the buyers to purchase. The only price ter Nohow
is 23a. 6d., but it is didicult to purchase panels at that quotation..
The inquiries after Foreign Sugars last week were coranderable,
a:4 as the holders came !toward to sell, purchases to some extent
were reported; good white Havannah sold 365. a ads. ; yellow
28e. ; brown Brazil at 225. Generally an advance of ls. perm
must be stated on all descriptions of Foreign Sugars.
COFFEE.-The public sales of last week went off with MN
aiderable briskness, except for the ordinary descriptions ofJanuira
Coffee, which were brought forward in such large parcels, that a
reductioo of fully Is. per cwt, took place; all other qualities tally
supported the late currency. Foreign descriptions were much w.
qutred after, and ordinry Brazil realised 31:s. lid. ; St. Domingo sold
b3s. and 635. 641. There were two public sales this fore:mon, Ikt
tasks Jamaica, anti 114 hhda. Demerara; the whole went of
heavily, but without alteration in the prices ; hoe fine ordinary
toxey Jamaica Phi. id. a 71e.; fine ordinary bis.; good ordinary
625. ; middling silvery grey Demerara ils. a 82a. 641.; pea
ordinary 635. and 645. 'l* be only alteration in the Collie market
since Tuesday lust is, that ordinary rank Jamaica is about Is. per
cwt. lower; there are still inquiries for St. Domingo Coffee sheet
QC ; but the market is to-day without any briskness.

quotations are regulated by the prices ',brained.
RUM, BRANDI', and *ROLLA XllB.-An extensive failure
in the Spirit trade has occasioned a complete suspension of business
for some days past ; the prices are in consequeuce nominal...
Brandy housed is offered freely an 3s. 741., but we have heard of no
Pnveheaes; Is. 4d. ter proof Leeirards =mot be obtained, yetaet
the nearest quotation, and scarcely any parcels offer undte tourer,
but the market is nominal, as the few purchases lately repixtedue
confined to small parcels of I and 10 puncheons each. Dec is
some Geneva landing for which 1.. 10.1. is at present asked.
IRISHPROVIsIONS.-There is little al;eratiun in Beef AM
Park ; the prime parcels are still held firmly ; the others are ray
heavy. There is no alteration in Bacon. Irish Butters are steady ;

Straits Fishery ; we believe there is nJ precedent of such a dais
date, without reports from that quarter ; the holders of Oil are be-
coming more firm; sales of old at 211. 10a., and for new a. 31. At
public sale last week ioferior South Sea Oil, in casks, sold at

COCOA.—By public sale on Friday the good Brazil was tikes
in at 355. ; the °retied& was nearly all of the ordinary ilacAptioas,
and affords no criterion of the market.
