FROM THE LONDOV NEW PRICE CURRENT.

TUESDAY, OCT. 4.
COTTON.—There was a very good demand for Cotton in the
early part of last week, mostly for export, but the Inquiry has
since become limited ; the sales, however, amount to about 4,600
bales, viz.-2,400 Bengal, 51d. middling to 6;11. good; 1,100
Murata Sid. a 71d. ; 750 Yemenis 1244. a 12/d. ; 280 Bowed. 91d.

SCOAR.—The demand for Muscovatlea after Tuesday last
week became languid, anti the business reported was very inconsi-
derable till Friday, when some purchases were made for Liverpool
account, which gave a briskness to the market • the sales were
immediate and extensive, and the prices were rather higher. The
Sugar market this morning was watched with much interest, on
account of the briskness at the close of last week ; the deficiency of
the stock, compared with preceding years, added to which this
morning the report of the deliveries from the West India ware.
houses last week cited that 4,095 casks were delivered, being more
by 572 casks than last year, and the quantity landed abOut 6500
hhds. The buyers were in consequence at market at an early
hour, and the purchasers for Liverpool account evinced also a
disposition to do business; the consequence was that the sellers im-
mediately asked an advance of Is. a 2s. on the prices of Friday :
this prevented the extensive transactions that would otherwise
have taken place, but as the day advanced the buyers showed an in-
creasing disposition to purchase, and at the close of the market the
sales reported were nearly 1510 hhds, at prices fully 2... per cwt.
higher than on this day week ; brown Jamaica 71s. a 725. ; Trini-
did and St. Lucia brown Sugars 70s. a 71s. ; the good and fine

FRUIT.—The Cephalonia Currants taken In at public sale last
week are now on delivery at 1013 s.; a parcel of Zante has been sold
at about lilts. The demand for RCLI Smyrna Raisins for export
has considerably blackened, in consequence of the holders demand-
