various prices, which were no criterion of the market
currency ; the exporters continue the only purchasers

of Cotton.
LIVERPOOL, OCTOBER 12.—a In our Cotton mar-
ket there has been a very steady demand from the
dealers for Boweds, and the prices have advanced
about Id per pound ; Brazils, 0 the other hand,
have continued very heavy, and again declined about
id per pound. There has been also some inquiry
for Bowed' for sport, but little has been done, as the
exporters considered prices rather too high. There
were public sales yesterday of 376 Sea Islands, which
sold at 2s Old for fair to 2s 514 foe fine St. Simen's,
and 20 inferior son at 19d and 190 ; the fine qua.
lities sold at a reduction of about ld per pound, but
the middling descriptions supported the prices of last
week. There were also sold by auction 191 Orleans,
at 180 for ordinary to Ind for good fair ; 114
' Bat badoes, at 1944 to 20id for fair to good, and one
lot at 2ld ; 27 Demeraras, at 2043 to 221 d for infe-
rior to good ; the remainder of the Demeraras were
withdrawn. The other sales of the week are,
2650 Bowed, at 17id a 111.0 for inferior to fair, laid
a 204 for good fair to prime ; 580 Orleans at 17id
for ordinary to 2113 d for good, and a few prime at
24.1 ; 200 Sea Islands at 2s for middling to 2s Sid
for good fair, including a few stained at 22.11 ; 90
Fannin at 23id a 2s ; 750 Maranhams at 224 a
2234 ; 260 Babies at 22d a 23d ; 54 Demerara: at
vid a 221 d ; SS Barbadoes 19141 a 14d ; 30 West
Indias at 194 4 300 Bengals at Dia a 14.1 d, part of
which are fur export ; making with those sold by
; auction 5600 bags. The arrivals are only nine hun-
dred and twenty-seven bags."
As the sale of East India produce is a novelty at
Liverpool. we give the following extracts from one
of our letters :
Ltvaapooe, Oeronza 12.—a The East India sales
sent off with tolerable spirit ; the Bengal Sugars at
401 a 435, and principally foe home use, being equal
to 77s a 80s duty peid ; the Black Pepper Btd a
80 per pound a the Ginger 77s a 80s ; Chillies 35s
a Sis 6d ; the Shell Lac chiefly at 56s a 58s ' • Borax
744 a 765. and 'lineal 60s a 61s ; Coculus Indices
SOs a Sls ; Seed Lac 22s a 22s 6d per cwt ; and
Sanders Wood £9 per ton : she Safflower was 'rich-
dia ern at 34e. and Turmeric at 25s per cwt. At the
sale of 443 chests Indigo offered on Wednesday,
oothing was done, but about 30 chests have since
been disposed of by private treaty : of the 250 chests
brought forward yesterday, about one-third were
sold at from 3E. 8d a 5s 6d per pound, partly for ex.
port and partly for the home trade, being a decline of
about sixpence per pound from the last sale in
London."
SUGAR.—The supply of goods at market is still
inconsiderable ; the trade lately have, however, been
working more freely, and goods, no doubt, will
shortly be more plentiful. Molasses have been in
considerable request at a fluctuating currency.
The Refiners this forenoon are withdrawing their
goods from sale until the events of to-day on Raw
Sugars are known ; a considerable advance on our
quotation is, however, demanded. Molasses have
been sold at all prices from 27s a 30s.
There is no variation in Foreign Sugars ; the ad-
-vaned of all descriptions will. no doubt, operate im.
.Mediately in raising the prices of Havannab, BMA,
and the other descriptions of Foreign.
COFFEE.:—WO mentioned the advance of 2s. per
cert. on the prices of Coffee last week : the improve-
ment was fully maintained through the week, and
in several instances the prices went a shade higher ;
the advance was general in every description, with
the exception of the finer qualities, the prices of
which were little varied ; the orders Irons the Conti-
nent in town are stated to be very extensive, and
from the advanced season they must now be executed
forthwith ; the quantity of Coffee brought torwsrd
by public sale was rather extensive, consisting of
1298 casks and 2058 bags; the whole went off Pith
briskness. Coffee has lately become an article of
considerable speculation ; the prices at the outpace
have advanced in proportion to the improvement in
this market, and lately very considerable orders have
been executed for extensive Liverpool houses, prin-
cipally we understand with a view to immediate ex-
port. To-day there were two public sales brought
forward ; the prices were little varied.
The late Treasury Minute withdrawing the ware-
house-duty of 5s per cwt. paid on East India Coffee,
will have a very favourable effect on the commerce
of the country. The importers of East India Cof-
fee continue to enter into bonds at the Custom House
to pay Bs in case the recommendation of the Trea-
sury is not-sanctioned by Parliament, of which there.
is little doubt ; in the meal time shipments are made
free of the 5s duty.
-lasest—Pairviwous,..ibeserePrime parcels, of Irish
Beef and Pork continue to go off freely, and ge.'
neral opinion is still entertained that the market will
be nearly cleared before the arrival of the new Pro.
visions.—Bacon is exceedingly heavy ; there is little
variation is the demand for Butter ; the request is
still languid, and no prospect of any immediate im-
provement. Several public sales continue to be
brought forward, which tend to depress the musket.

Tobacco.--There is no doubt there is a deficiency
of the crop of Tobacco in America; speculations
'early took place in the markets of the United States;
the parcels forwarded to this country have been in
consequence held at such high prices that it has pre-
vented the usual consumption of the country, and
has also tended to encourage the growth of the arti-
cle in Europe, which of late years has been greatly
protected; no alteration CRP be stated in the prices.
Rtes.—There has been considerable interest ex-
-cited as to the fume prices of Rice ; the demand
