LONDON MARKETS, OCTOBER 27.

Corrosi.—The depressed state of the Cotton matt.'
ket, and the low prices submitted to, particularly in
the East 'lndia •deseriptions, is beginning to =Ott
much attention, and will probably induce extend*
purchasers to come forward. Last week there wink
renewed enquiry for Surat Cotton, but the buyers*
}acted the better qualities, and as the holders are
rather firm, the purchases could not be made on the
low terms expected, otherwise the business done,
would have been extensive, particularly for the hornet
consumption of the country ; Bengals were in good
request for exportation, but the shippers could not
purchase within td. to id. of last week's prices
Demerara Cotton sold at public auction at a consi-
derable reduction. The purchases of Cotton, since
• Tuesday last, consist of--565 Demerara 20d. cols.
Id. 52 Surinams 220. to 2s. lid. a few Borbice 20d.
and 21d. Grenadas 20d. to 220. 150 Carriacou 14d.
to 21d. 50 Maranhams 23d. 170 Bahias. 22d. to 2s.
a few Orleans 22d. and in the house, 300 Surats 11d.
to 130. and 600 Bengals Sd. co 91d. making the to-
tal sales above 2000 bags.
Ltvaaroot., OCTOBIIi 24.--The decline which
-lately took place in our Cotton market has caused
the dealers to come forward with more confidence,,
and we have throughout the week experienced a very
good demand fur most descriptions, particularly Bo-
weds and Brazils ; sonic little business has also been
done on speculation ; price., however, are not im-
proved, as the holders have generally been inclined
to sell, and the prices remain the same as last week.l
The sales of the week amount to about 11900 bags.
The arrivals have been '2032 bags.
Suoatt.-.—Towards the close of last week the de-
isand fur Nluscovades revived, and though the sales
were not extensive or brisk, yet there was evidently
an improvement both in the requestand in the pries*
the holders evinced much more firmness than what
they have been accustomed to do, and the buyers
could not purchase on so low terms as early in the,
week. This forenoon the holders evince an increas-
ing firmness, and though the sales cannot be stated
brisk, yet the prices are fully ls. bigher. The refiners
took the alarm last meek at the near approach of the
close of the shipping season, they in consequence be-
came eager to effect sales ; the purchases made were,
at very reduced rates. Molasses continue in request.
Foreign Sugars have been little inquired after.
Come—This forenoon the demand for Coffee
continues very limited. The Coffee market may be
ciliated 2s. to 3s. per cwt. lower since last week, and
the great depression has not yet induced the pin:-
chasers to come forward.
IRISII PROVISIONS.—The prices of Beef and Pork
are little.varied.- Bacon is in fair demand. The But-
ter market has been steady, but the sales ere rather
difficult to be effected ; the stock of English Buttes
is reported to he considerable.
liner FLAx, AND TALI DlY.—The prices of Tal-
low arc again Is. to 2s. higher, but the demand isnot
- bri.,k. at the advance ; for Tallow to artive during
tie yeat, there is now
_little difference in price, the
latter is fad. to Is. per cwt. lower than parcels here.
Hemp coutinets in limited dennettl, and may be pur-
cl aced a shade lower. In Flax thtete is no alteration.
The letters yesterday from St. Petersburgh state the
Exchange about 12i.
Toaaeco.—The market continues heavy ;—pur-
chases could &e made under last week's prices, but
there has been little or no business doing.
NAVAL Sroncs.—There have been few purchases
of Rough Turpentine lately : the prices are nearly
rOariiral. Spirits continue to decline. There has been
a good demand for Tar. lu Pitch or Rosin there is '!
co variation.
Ctt..--There is little variation in the prices of
Greenland Oil ; the demand is steady, but not exten-
sive. Galipoli is a shade lower. In other descrip-
tions there :s little variation.
Braes.—Spices are heavy, and generally declin-
ing; the request for Pepper ban, hoe over, consider-
ably revived this forenoon; C patty's l'epper, which
kad been sold so low as Bd. and 81d. is now held at
na. and we believe tl., latter price has this morning
been realized.
Rum, BRANDY, AND Hoz tatins.—The late impor-
tations of Rum have been so considerable, that the
holders have become anxious to effect sales ; the pur-
chases last week were in consequence at a decline of
abaur. 2d. per gallon, and the market is to-day very
heavy at the reduction. The prices of Brandy are
Yearly nominal ; the vintage is repotted to be most
luxuriant, and as the Brandies will be much sooner
at market than was generally expected, the buyers
articipate a decline, and will not put chase at the
present prices. The prices of Geneva are without
variation.
Styr..—The extensive sale at the India House fi-
nished this forenoon ; the prices have gone off 9s. to
10s. per pound higher than last sale ; the China Silks
at the advance cf fis. to 7s; per pound.
