MAUKETS.

[From the Lunde, New Prier CO of Tuesday.'
COTTON.—The demand fur Cotton in our market ewe.,
briit the whole of the last week, and Lege parcels have dire,
heads, at improving prime, establishing an advance of abos.r.
per lb. on an descrtimotn. The mils. amount to nearly 10.titat be:„
chiefly on speculation, although some are reported to be fee „
country, and an offer of led. per lb. they paid, for Col bale; f,
tine of Egyptian Cotton, has been refuted. The extensive r.w.
chases of last week occasions some pause io the demand fur tutus,
the market to-day i, particularly quiet ; the advanced prim; iR
however, firmly maintained. The letters from lilasgew,
this morning, state a further briskness had taken what to Ih..
market, in cosseequenee of the confirmation of the ;Aries p.
viouslv received from America ; the sales fur the week ansenr.v.
to about ldtle bales, at an advance of id. a lid. on Sea 1.1r4,
id. on Bowed, Orleans, and Alabama, and id. per lb. on se
descriptions.

The advice§ from New York on Mont ay, confirming those tr.
vioualy received, of the injury done to the Cotton Plant in um.
and 'arolina, gave an increased impulse to the demand ter tor •
in the early part of the week, aril a further advance took plo,
nearly Id. per lb. in Sea Island. Id. per 15. in Bowed, °Beast
Alabama, and Id. per lb. in Brazil diacriptions This deco
has since become more moderate, and the prices of Atne leas t
tool hare rather receded, so that our quotations are generally LC
Id. per lb. higher than last week, eacepuog Sea Islands. '

SCGAR..2The demand for 31ms:evades during the last ikek
was very considerable, and every description of Sugar adnntrd
fully Is. per cwt.; the lowest brown Jannuca at market sold at At,
brown St. Lucia 82s. The market this forenoon was vet, TM.,
owing, no doubt, to the India Rouse sale; the purchaseeof
coracles were very inconsiderable; the late advance was, lewett...
fully maintained, tine rather higher. In the Refined trade the.
was considerable business doing last week ; two eminent house',.
about to withdraw from the retinirg manufactory, and as they tun
in the habit of making grocery goods, these qualities became me:
in request, at an advancing currency; low lumps also sold (nit
Molasses wee 275. There is a steady and considerable deux:
for refined goods this morning, particularly fur grocery deicriptei
and low golds; there is no alteration in the prices. 11Iolatses sp.
very heavy to-day, at 27a., and purchases, we think, might in *7. •
instances be made a shade unite th it price. In Foreign
very few purchases were reported ; tlie late prici were, harem
fully supported.
FRIT I T.—The rage for forcing the OM Fruit off by
continues to a great extent ; in consequence, the opening pro .
all descriptions are much lower than last year. Fur Itsit Is
there is a fair demand, but the quantity brought tursariliz
exceeds it.
